3 Free Programs That Will Turn You Into a Video Editor (Updated 2024)

Three years ago I wrote an article on my recommendations for people hoping to try their hand at video editing without paying anything. After advising a friend on that exact topic, I’ve reviewed my old article and found it largely out of date, and in desperate need of updating. So here are my new suggestions for what you should get while breaking into this exciting and fun field of study: 1. Open Broadcasting Software The one software to survive from the old article, OBS remains the fan-favored way to record game footage or your own screen, if you’re going the… [Continue Reading]

5 More Great Weapons in Call of Cthulhu

Last year I covered five (really six) of my favorite weapons in the Call of Cthulhu RPG system. Since then, I’ve gotten to play more campaigns and more characters, and I’ve found some additional combat options that I think really hold their own. Whether raiding eldritch tombs or staking out satanic speakeasies, here are some effective personal defense options I think you should consider: 1. Sawed-off Shotgun The famous double-barrel boomstick is the archetypical survivalist’s weapon, and it should have made the first article for its laundry list of positive traits. It can fire twice a round and each shot… [Continue Reading]

Call of Cthulhu: My 5 Favorite Under-Used Skills

By far the toughest part of Call of Cthulhu is how few skillpoints it gives you. When every skill uses a percentile and you only get a couple-hundred points to allocate, it’s really difficult to excel at more than a few checks. This naturally leads to the most obviously-useful skills (Spot Hidden, Library Use, Firearms, Stealth) seeing massive use across the playerbase. But today I wanted to talk about some rarer skills that I’ve nonetheless found worth investing in. Many times they can save you skillpoints in other areas, or unlock niche-but-effective playstyles. You certainly can’t pick them all, but at… [Continue Reading]

My 5 Favorite Weapons in Call Of Cthulhu

As a fan of historical firearms, my biggest complaint with the Call of Cthulhu system was its relatively-limited firearm roster. I understand why (it’s not a combat simulator, your characters should be avoiding firefights at all costs), but that doesn’t mean I want to give my investigator some generic pistol or rifle. Your character’s weapon-of-choice is a hugely defining characteristic, often tying into their personality, backstory, and team role. But there are only a handful of common options for every weapon type in the core rulebook, and they all differ only in damage, magazine size, range…mathy stuff like that. So… [Continue Reading]

7 Tips for Leveling Up Your Buddy in Pokemon GO

Pokemon GO’s buddy system is somewhat weird. Walking a buddy used to just be a way to earn candy. But now, your buddy can earn XL and Mega candt, show you Pokestops you haven’t spun before and gives you presents of varying value. At Best Buddy, your Pokemon gains an extra level, which can take a Pokemon to level 51 at most. However, the buddy system does take a lot of time, especially if you are looking to use a Legendary Pokemon. Thankfully though, I have some tips for you that can make leveling up a buddy easier. You don’t… [Continue Reading]

5 More Places to Farm Affinity and Experience in Warframe

The grind is now bigger than ever, especially since we have a ton of new 5-forma-required weapons. Here are some slightly less effective but still good Affinity farms, in cause you get bored.

It’s hard to choose weapons in Warframe. Even early on, there are so many options available to you. But with so many choices, and even more as you level up, it’s hard to know what weapons are genuinely good, and which ones suck. Luckily, I have created a list of a handful of weapons you can use, based on my own personal experience. Lex At a price of 50,000 credits, the Lex seems expensive, but it’s worth the price. This little MR3 hand cannon will do wonders for you. Not only does it deal pretty good damage, but the Lex… [Continue Reading]

How to Choose the Best Microphone for Gamers

When it comes to choosing a microphone, we are going to find very different models in the market in terms of types, polar patterns or acoustic specifications, so before listing what a good microphone should be for streaming we will review what to take into account. Frequency response This characteristic refers to the range of sound that a microphone is capable of picking up. It is measured in hertz and is displayed from low to high frequencies. For a streamer this specification is not as important as for a vocalist, but better to look for those microphones that offer a wide range of frequencies. Impedance… [Continue Reading]
