There’s No Such Thing as a Short Sea of Thieves Session

An outpost in the Roar, where volcanoes regularly use aimbot to blast fireballs at your ship

In the Sea of Thieves, being patient is a big part of the game. Everything takes time, and sessions can easily get longer and longer as the night goes on. The last time I played Sea of Thieves, we were at it for hours, getting various commendations done while also sailing with emissary stuff. We did several Veil missions and got a lot of loot. This took us quite a long time, and there wasn’t really a chance to make it take less time. So where does this time actually go? Getting started and actually setting sail takes a long… [Continue Reading]

The Most Chaotic Hourglass Battle Ever

Chaotic sea of thieves battle

After a long day of doing Veil missions and working towards commendations, the members of the Barnacled Bastion realized that we had a lot of resources. Like, a lot a lot. We had so many resources that we had two storage crates pretty much filled with cannonballs, and we also had a huge amount of food and wood too. We had over a hundred mangoes and a good stack of pineapples, enough for us to all have something nice to eat. So, before ending our session, we decided to do one Hourglass battle, fighting as Guardians of Fortune. Now, I… [Continue Reading]

On The Jetpack Social Plugin

by
Angry Cat

Jetpack is a plugin that has been tied to WordPress for a very long time. It’s got a bit of everything in it. I personally use Jetpack to see website stats, like how many people have viewed our website, and to see which articles are popular. However, the other big thing I use Jetpack for is Jetpack Social. Jetpack Social allows you to post to different platforms whenever you make a new post. This plugin would post to Facebook and Tumblr, and can also post to Linkedin as well. It used to post to Twitter as well, but that stopped… [Continue Reading]

What Should We Use Elite TMs on?

by
Genesect, a mechanical insect Pokemon nearly as good as Scizor

Elite TMs are rare and valuable. They give Pokemon access to special and unique moves when they’d otherwise be unavailable. While you can spend €15 once a month to get an Elite TM, most cases of obtaining Elite TMs are rare, or require a lot of patience. You can get a free Elite TM by playing in the GO Battle League, but you need to wait for a season to finish to get your hands on another. On the other hand, there are generally a LOT of Pokemon that need an Elite TM. For example, back in February, Groudon and… [Continue Reading]

5 More Great Weapons in Call of Cthulhu

by

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]

The Three Best Companions

by
Arkadin the Smeeta Kavat

There are quite a lot of companions in Warframe. As you start out, you are gifted with the Taxon, a small sentinel that helps you out and keeps your shields happy. As you play more though, you realize that there are not just floating robots. One quest gives you a Kubrow, a dog companion, and over time, you can also get cats, robotic dogs, mechanical emus, three types of infested Kubrow and Kavat, an Infested Charger, and other floating robots too. However, since there are so many, it’s easy to get confused. So here are the three best companions in… [Continue Reading]

Thoughts About Stormcloaks

by
It's all more natural. As a dragon, you don't stick out like a sore thumb.

I’ve been considering playing Skyrim again, but frankly, I don’t know if I really want to go back into modding Skyrim to make it how I like it. I don’t have any vanilla saves for any of my characters, so it’s not like I can just replay them. And at the same time, I kinda choose in advance what I want my character to do. Blades or Paarthunax? Vampires or Dawnguard? Werewolves or not joining the Companions? And the biggest one, Imperial or Stormcloak? Normally, I go 50-50 when it comes to the civil war. If I do decide to… [Continue Reading]

The Best Stealth Options in Warframe

by
I really need to get around to doing a proper article about how useful Ivara is...

Stealth in Warframe is a bit finicky. On the one hand, stealth can be hard to maintain, mostly because of how enemy AI works. On the other hand, stealth is mostly optional for about 90% of the game. However, when you do need stealth, there are, luckily, plenty of options. So here are five options for when you need to be stealthy. Ivara The number one option for stealth HAS to be Ivara. Ivara is built to be stealthy. Not only can she remain invisible for an insanely long time, but she can also distract enemies, put them to sleep… [Continue Reading]

The 5 Best Stealth Weapons in Payday 2

by

Payday 2‘s stealth missions require a completely different set of skills to a regular heist, and correspondingly, your stealth weapons will be focused on very different stats to their loud counterparts. Plenty of weapons offer high concealment, the bread-and-butter stat to stealthing, which means the standout weapons bring some sort of additional utility. Today, we’re covering The 5 Best Stealth Weapons in Payday 2! Starting with #1, the Judge shotgun pistol is widely agreed to be the best stealth weapon in the game. Great stats, great performance, high concealment, unobtrusive silencer, and like any shotgun, it sends victims flying when… [Continue Reading]
