Summary When playingDungeons & Dragons,we sometimes feel the urge to beat that horrible villain your Dungeon Master created due to how obnoxious they are. That said, they’re sometimes so far away from us that we feel too lazy to walk toward them. Luckily, you can shoot something at them instead. There are many ways to cause ranged damage, such as using spells. However, we’re going to focus on weapons, specifically weapons for characters who wish to focus on using them constantly....

Science fiction was invented in 1818 with the publication of Mary Shelley’s novelFrankenstein. In the two hundred years since, it’s spun off countless subgenres and become an indelible part of modern culture. The possibilities offered by technology, and the associated dangers, make for powerful, compelling stories. While many games try to keep up with current trends and aesthetics, sometimes you can’t beat the look established in a bygone era. Some retro sci-fi nailed their themes so perfectly that they became a genre all their own....

Barbiemania is finally dying down, since the opening weekend was nearly a month ago and the think-pieces have stopped streaming in. I, however, still think about Barbie all the time – specifically, about how it was hailed by many to be the most feminist movie of the year. Barbie had its merits, but being a feminist manifesto was not one of them. It’s not even the most feminist film Greta Gerwig has made, but I think that can be chalked up to Gerwig being kneecapped by having to work with a brand to tell a story acceptable to both of them....

Pikachu is the best-known and most popularPokemonin the world. That’s how it is and always will be whether you like it or not. However, I’d argue the number two spot is still up for grabs and constantly in flux. Charizard is certainly up there, as are all three of the Kanto starters. However, Eevee is right there too. That’s why the versatile Pokemon was a cover star for theLet’s Gogames. A Pokemon that has that many evolved forms, most of which are loved even more than Eevee, is always going to be well-liked....

As you make your way through the Settled Systems inStarfield, it’ll become evident that yourship’s weaponsmight not be the only protection or ammunition that you will need out there, as there are many situations that require you to carry arms on your person.

Blasphemous 2takes great strides to correct the weaknesses of its predecessor and puts a great deal of effort into making its combat system an enjoyable (yet difficult) experience. This is accomplished mostly through giving you, the player, plenty of options to experiment with. RELATED:Blasphemous 2: Beginner Tips In addition to three separate weapons to use and enjoy, you also have quick verses and chants. Think of these as your spells - supplementary abilities that you’re able to use to deal damage and protect yourself....

Summary TheFalloutuniverse never seems to run out of weird or wacky ideas. From weapons, quests, and even creatures, it truly is a wild wasteland you explore in this series. There never seems to be a dull moment when playing these games. It’s true that throughout these adventures, you’ll run across many an odd enemy. Some are just humans who call the post-apocalyptic U.S. their home. Others, though, are far more gruesome and far more peculiar to come across....

An impressiveSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatemod from mastaklo might be the closest thing we ever get toDragon Ball’s Goku ever joining the game. Despite being one of the most-requested characters to join the game (well, aside from joke choices like Shrek), it’s very unlikely that Goku will ever be added to Super Smash Bros. officially. Sure, he’s been in tons of games and is a worldwide icon with tons of moveset potential, but including a character so synonymous with anime and manga would be a big departure from the rest of the roster and open the floodgates perhaps a littletoowide for anyone to join the game....

Quick Links While loading intoBaldur’s Gate 3, there’s a question you must answer first: Vulkan or DirectX 11? This can be confusing to many, but it’s an important distinction to make depending on the specs of your PC or laptop. It will affect your gameplay and how much time you spend having to adjust settings later. RELATED:Baldur’s Gate 3: How To Break Out Of Prison If you don’t know the difference, that’s okay....

War Thunder fans will know that the game’s official forums are a bit of a chaotic minefield. It seems like every month, someone comes along with a whole bunch of classified military documents and posts them to settle some kind of ridiculous argument, so you’ll be unsurprised to find out that it’s happened yet again. This time it was the technical manual for the AH-64D Longbow Apache, a fairly common US attack helicopter....

Quick Links Payday 3introduces a new weapon type called ‘Overkill’. These are equipped in a third slot separate from your primary and secondary weapons as they’re more like special abilities. You start out with the grenade launcher but, after playing enough, come to unlock a hefty sniper that can put a dent in even the strongest of response units. RELATED:Payday 3: Rush, Edge, and Grit, Explained The training mode shows you how they work if you want to see them in action, but there’s far more to Overkill weapons than simply deploying them, like when they’re useful and how you unlock them....
