2012. With prize pools between $50,000

Next up is my honorable mentions. This section
of the video is for all you Minecraft, Terraria
and Skyrim fans shouting at the screen. “WHY
ARE YOU NOT TALKING ABOUT THE ENDERAL

famous for making positive impacts on games.
You have the calamity mod that adds 27 new
bosses and 1880+ new items for players to
collect and use so get that wiki up on the 2nd
monitor! There are also extensions to the
difficulty settings added in to give the player
that extra challenge.
Cut to: Cut to a graphic saying
“Honorable mentions” and add some
sound effects to make it high quality for
the viewer.

bosses and the different cool items you
can use.

You also have the Enderal mod for Skyrim that
converts the game into a completely different
world with its own lore and story. Completely
overhauled skill systems and gameplay
