They’d promised too much, painting the picture of a generation-defining game, and then released an incomplete work that felt bloated like a hot air balloon. They made the incredible mistake of grabbing a game that could feel barren because of its sheer magnitude, and actually releasing it devoid of content! It seemed like there was no hope. Thankfully both the development team and a dedicated modding community have been working on the game ever since, releasing mods and entire updates that have slowly made it into what it was originally supposed to be....

Tales of reanimated corpses feeding off the living are present in some form in almost all cultures around the world. Some are dark and disturbing like Bram Stoker’s Dracula, while others are beautiful and seductive like the sparkly creatures in Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight series. As long as they drink blood to sustain their immortal existence, they’re vampires, and we love them. Much like the creatures that populate them, vampire tales come in all forms – including video games....

Other than its challenging gameplay and adorable sprite-based graphics, the game shines for the massive amount of weapons you can find in the Gungeon. I mean, it’s called “The Gungeon” for a reason. But not all guns are made the same. Some are better than others, and it’ll take a while before you get a feel for what works and what doesn’t. In the end, the Gungeon is randomized, and the best weapon is the one you actually get – but a man can fantasize....

Since you can only bring a single pet along with you, you’re going to have to find a suitable one that will fit your play style. And in this ranking we’ll feature the absolute best pets that will help you fend off & claim victory over the Final Boss. 5. Beholder This is only Animal Orb in the game to give you a stat bonus for your Magic (+4). The Evil Wizard in his second phase will alternate his bubble shields between two attack types, Physical and Magical....

However, what we’re talking about in this list are dedicated rate-up banners for specific Servants. When it comes to limited units, these are not added into the general pool after their campaign finishes. Meaning if you don’t summon them during their rate-up period, you may not get another chance for one or two years (if ever!) So who are the rarest of the bunch? Let’s take a look at some of these FGO Servants with the fewest rate-up banners across the game’s history....

This earth-element monster has several dangerous AoE attacks and the ability to summon mobs that can stun you and set you up for an insta-kill. The two best ways to deal with this Dungeon Boss are to either bombard it with fire-element attacks from afar if your character is ranged, or you could hit it from behind if you’re using a melee character. Dungeon Boss Info Joining your Kingdom’s hunts for the Treant Statue is highly recommended if you want to earn highly valuable resources like Gilders and Dungeon Boss Chests....

They’re both cheap to purchase and can be found in multiple locations. Effects In Battle I’ll go right ahead and spoil the surprise: neither item does anything at all in battle. The Ruler apparently “sizes things up” when used by a party member, and has infinite uses. No other effect comes from this though. The Protractor however, is used to “get an angle up on things”. It can also be used infinitely in battle, but also has no effect other than the display text....

Well, that’s a bit of a simplistic way to put it. It’s a skill that allows the user to do nothing for a step of the crafting process. Crafting in XIV is infinitely more involved than other games. World of Warcraft, for example, just has you gather recipes and ingredients. If you’re the right level to make it, bam – you’ve made an item. Nothing else to worry about. But crafters in Final Fantasy XIV have their own independent skill sets, gear requirements, and different intertwining systems to think about....

For instance, Genshin Impact’s Pity System guarantees a 5-star character within 90 pulls. You can definitely get a character before reaching 90 pulls – the Pity System simply works as a safety net to prevent players from overspending for a featured character/item. Some games also have a Hard Pity and Soft Pity. Hard Pity refers to the maximum number of pulls you need to 100% guarantee a character/item from the banner....

Magics are high-tier trees that require level 75 Woodcutting and any kind of axe to be chopped down. Cutting down these trees rewards the player with magic logs. These are mostly used in production skills, like Fletching or Smithing, or they can be (very rarely) set on fire by rich players for some quick Firemaking experience. Due to the existence of the “Magic Longbow” item in combination with the “High Level Alchemy” spell, the price of magic logs has always fluctuated around the 1000 gold mark – which means that chopping magic trees a leisurely activity many players choose to go with (over other more click intensive activities) while leveling their woodcutting skill....

There’s nothing more fun than scaling Akatsuki members. And for this ranking it’s everyone’s exploding artist that’s on the chopping block! We’re looking across all of anime to find a handful of characters that could potentially bring Deidara to his knees. Also, no obvious picks like Saitama or Goku, because this is supposed to be fun after all. 10. Killua Zoldyck Anime: Hunter x Hunter (2011) Killua is the iffiest pick on this entire list....

Three words that often pop up when describing Minecraft. Because, it’s only in video games where being reductive is seen as a positive. There seems to be something missing, though: where’s the “magic” in all of this? You just can’t have an exploration-adventure-crafting videogame without magic. What are we, savages? Thankfully Minecraft has that all-too-eager modding community to fill in for those things we think this game has to have....

Whether you need a new t-shirt or a full-blown wardrobe, the Able Sisters is the place to go to shop for new threads. So it makes sense to create an awesome space around it, right? Well for this list I’ve compiled my favorite Able Sisters store ideas, to give you that much needed island design inspiration. 15. Sisters in the Forest Are you a nature lover? Then this Able design is for you!...

If you’re trying to complete the Pokédex or hunt for shinies, then you need a well-built False Swiper. Lucky for you, I’ve done the hard work of picking out the best candidates. All you have to do is look at the list and pick one. Much harder than the actual creature hunt! 15. Escavalier Escavalier is one of the more basic False Swipers out there, meaning you don’t see it all that much....

A cute crop top works with almost any look. Whether your aesthetic is comfy wear, a party outfit, dat summer vibe, or flaunting reveals, crop tops are something you want in your wardrobe. That trusted top to grab when you want to look cute for your lunch out with friends, but at the same time you’re feeling too lazy to dress up… or if you feel like you have nothing to wear (even though you have a closet full of clothes)....

It’s a question every man asks himself at some point, and while everyone has their own answer, it’s easy to identify some common traits that most manly men share. It’s not only about being tough or rugged, nor is it about having massive biceps and an impressive beard – though it certainly helps. Manliness is about hard work, reliability, and strength – be it psychological, emotional, or physical. We’ve put together a varied list with characters from all genres and backgrounds with only one thing in common....

I for one am a sucker for a good fight. It can both wow me with amazing animation, or tell a great story, even if no words are exchanged. Great fights often do both. Well for this ranking we’re diving into anime that have some of the most amazing fight scenes in the genre. 20. Akame ga Kill! Although this show is about assassins, there’s only one character that actually assassinates people....

Bandai’s WonderSwan was one of them, as were its successors – the WonderSwan Color (2000) and the SwanCrystal (2002). Its 16-bit central processing unit was powerful, and its long battery life was also critical to its relative success. It’s easy to see this family of consoles as the best retro handhelds of that era. Regrettably, the WonderSwan line never made it out of Japan – so most of its games will require a high level of Japanese to really get through them all (or at least some English patches)....

And there’s definitely a few anime that are just more visually pleasing than others. So to celebrate this beautiful art, we’re going to count down some of the most aesthetically pleasing anime ever made. If you’re big into anime you’ll probably like a lot on this list, and even moreso if you’re into art too. 20. House of Five Leaves I want to start off with this show, as I’m aware that it might not be for everyone....

From unique stories to varying characters and colorful styles, it’s all there. But there is one thing that many anime do really well: food presentation. True, it may not seem that big a thing to note. However it has been found that food in anime almost always finds a way to look both lovely and highly appetizing. And remember, these are drawings. There are quite a few food-focused cooking animes that are pretty fun to watch....
