Back in the day, Game Freak didn’t have the tech to do fancy shiny designs, resulting in a lot of glorified reskins. Many of which were green. And for whatever reason, there haven’t been many new green shiny Pokémon designs recently. So we’re going to have to trudge through some swampy ideas to get into the meat of this ranking. With that said, let’s see what we’ve got: 20. Stantler Okay, we’re starting off pretty boring, but it is what it is....

While these staple weapons sadly don’t fulfill any unique roles here, they’re definitely worth considering over their hammer counterparts. You see, hammers have slightly higher combo rates, but axes attack faster and boast slightly higher dodge rates. The choice ultimately boils down to preference, of course. But if you’re dying to axe me which one’s best, let’s figure that out. 5. Slasher I won’t lie to you here: The affairs of axes in FFXII are very straightforward....

Whereas stuff like Poison and Toxic do continuous damage after their bar has filled up, Bleed does an instant, large, amount instead. After inflicting enough bleed damage, the enemy will take 30% of their max HP as instant damage. This means you can do substantial hurt in a short amount of time – especially to enemies that have lots of HP. Not too many weapons cause Bleed, though, so let’s go over the best of the limited few in DS1....

Some of Zelda’s most famous and beloved titles belong in the handheld realm. From the Game Boy to the 3DS, every single Nintendo handheld has had at least one. Still, like in all things in life, some are better than others. Let’s take a look at the library of handheld Zelda games and find out which are worthy of being called “the best”, along with those that maybe fell a bit short of the mark....

In Skyrim, Khajiit make up a relatively small percentage of the population. Which makes them a minority that often gets the short end of the stick. And they were even overlooked by Bethesda developers who failed to include any authentic Khajiiti garb in the game. There are Orcish and Elven armor sets, but Khajiit? Well not anymore. Thanks to Skyrim’s amazing modding community, dressing up your Khajiit in fine threads has never been easier....

LeBlanc is an incredibly flashy champion. And anyone who has had the displeasure of playing against a good one can attest to this. Her title “The Deceiver” is indicative of the visual trickery that she’s capable of. And just like with any good magician, spectacle is guaranteed to be part of her package. It should come as no surprise, then, when I say LeBlanc has some of the most visually striking skins in all of League....

These massive open worlds are remarkable. But you don’t need gargantuan worlds to give players a feeling of freedom and exploration. Sometimes, some smart design choices and a well-crafted environment are all you need to immerse players in a fictional reality. The GameCube came long before the advent of the vast simulated realities of Horizon: Zero Dawn and No Man’s Sky. But there are still plenty of exciting worlds ready to be discovered in older titles....

They’re cute, they make good noises, and most importantly, they produce wool as a resource for all sorts of crafting possibilities. Without wool, there’d be no new clothes in Pelican Town – seeing as how Pierre can’t be bothered to stock them. But if you’re tired of the vanilla sheep, then check out these mods for something a little different! 9. K’s Sheep Replacers Check Out This Mod Are you sick of all of your sheep looking the same?...

But in the end we all agree on using one common word for it… Magic! In the world of Dark Souls, magic comes in many forms. The pious use miracles, the scholars use sorceries, the depraved casters use hexes, and the pyromancers use… well, pyromancies! Today we’ll be focusing more on sorceries and hexes. Or to be more accurate, the equipment that you require to cast said spells. Staves in general are a weird bunch, because some of them are exclusive to one spell-school, while others can cast multiple....

It’s the entrance to Vlindrel Hall – probably the most prestigious home in the entire city. Its privileged position provides a beautiful view of the city as you make your way up to the door. Inside, you’re met with a cozy home warmed by the heat radiating from the Dwemer pipes that run through it. This home is ideal for the traveling Dragonborn, who needs a base of operations far from his enemies to store their weapons, armor, artifacts, and books....

Guys, girls, it doesn’t really matter. There’s something that I find particularly charming about someone who has those blankout moments just a bit more often. And anime is absolutely full of many characters that fit the bill. They’re very genre spanning, hitting everything from rom-coms to shonen, to even some very serious shows. And because of that, some top picks may even be from not so good shows. Airheadedness can often come from purity, leading them to just not get a few things that worldly characters do – or sometimes their last two brain cells are fighting each other for dominance....

In my books, a fun champion has got to have an exciting kit or a playful aesthetic. Ideally they should have both of these things. So I’ve narrowed down some of the more enjoyable mid laners based on the qualities above. I determined this using nothing but “superior tactics” – aka, binge-playing mid laners and inting on more than a fair few of them. So before I get anymore flashbacks of my 0/10 mid lane escapades, let’s dive straight into it....

The fact that Ban from The Seven Deadly Sins is proclaimed to be The Sin of Greed. The dude just doesn’t fit that description at all! He has never seemed obsessed with power, he never tried to take immortality for himself, and he doesn’t seem to care about money at all. In this list I’ve compiled some anime characters that are far more suited for that greedy title. 10. Gramps Anime: To Your Eternity I want to start off with this one, as it’s really short and sweet....

At Refinement Rank 1 Level 90, they have the following stats and passive: Both weapons share the same secondary stat of CRIT damage – which is generally a really good stat. At stack levels 1/2/3, the Thunder Emblem increases normal attack damage by 12/24/40%. The wielder will obtain 1 stack of Thunder Emblem in each of the following scenarios: Normal attack deals damage (stack lasts 5s). Casting elemental skill (stack lasts 10s)....

You’ll want to have Stardew Valley in your life 24/7, even at work or jogging. You might even be out in your real-life garden and think, “damn, I need some sprinklers so I can go back to play Stardew Valley.” You’re officially dependent on the cozy vibes of ConcernedApe’s wonderful farm sim – and Stardew Valley content creators are there to feed your addiction. Let’s look at some content creators who are just as addicted to Stardew Valley!...

Something else it has in droves is fascinating female characters that’ll make your heart skip a beat. Hideo Kojima knows how to balance depth and experimentation with giving gamers what they want, so he serves you a meaty game that’ll blow your mind and change your outlook on life with a side of waifus. Today, we’ll look back at this iconic series to find the best waifus across all Metal Gear games....

Fans have always gone wild at the possibility of dual-wielding in FromSoftware games. Even as far back as Demon’s Souls, where the weapon on your left hand was essentially treated as a dagger, people were running dual Uchigatana builds. The Power Stance mechanic has never gotten as much love as it did in Elden Ring. There are so many weapons with unique dual-wielding movesets! It’s easy to find the most powerful dual-wield combos – but which weapons are the most fun to dual-wield?...

They’re a really great way to show other players your achievements, and some of them are just too cute! There are some very commonly available pets in OSRS, like cats. But there are also some elite pets locked behind serious grinds or difficult bosses, where only the best of the best will have a chance of obtaining them. And for this ranking we’re taking a look at the hardest-to get (and rarest) pets to track down in OSRS....

Whether it’s a Western novel, a Japanese light novel, or a Czechoslovakian short story, if it’s based on a book it’s likely denser than your average anime. And my picks for this list of adapted anime are no exception! It was tough, but I think I’ve got a definitive list of the best novel adaptations (whether that be for their faithfulness, or stylish approach). So let’s get into this!...

Amalgamating the absurd and the touching into one unique package, Araki managed to craft a compelling story of progression and improvement. Each part expands on the previous ones, constantly referring itself to create an experience unlike any other. One of the series’ greatest strengths are its characters, all able to stand out and leave an impression. And for this list I’ll be ranking the 25 best ones, so some spoilers ahead!...
