YIPPEE I FINISHED THE MAIN STORY OF LEGO DC VILLAINS IT WAS FUN BUT VERY SLOW ON MY COMPUTER

[internetremix]

I was wondering... Do you any of you have tips for a rookie GM? I'm setting up a game night here soon and I'm stressing the heck out over it.

Alex: No matter what game system you play it's usually quite intimidating because there are like 600 pages of information to digest. At any given time you need to have memorized only, like, thirty. At the end of the day most tabletop games are just two things - math and improv. Admittedly things that, outside of tabletop games, people go out of their way to avoid, but still.

Stress can lead people to get things done fast but also get things done sloppy. You don't need to plan out every single detail of what the characters might encounter eventually in a session. You can flesh out a couple of interesting people, places, or things you want them to see and just keep a scratch card of notes and traits for if/when they go off the beaten path. Remember, no matter what you plan, there is no accounting for the actions of players, and rolling with them provides a far better experience than slamming your fist down and saying "NO" to every deviation.

And above all else, remember that tabletop games are a collaborative effort. People come together to play games, tell stories, and shoot the shit. If shooting the shit overtakes the game you can rein that in a little but at the end of the day everyone's there voluntarily to have fun, and no one is there to see anyone fail.So to recap -

1. You are the arbiter of rules no matter what the book says. You can double-check later and take notes for future games if it becomes an issue but generally you only need to have in mind rules that are actively going to be used in game. If you don't know the exact way to handle something just make up what the closest action would be and if the player rolls what you think is well enough to do it, they did it.

2. If you don't have time to take notes on every single thing the players might encounter, congratulations, you're an average person. You only need a few based on the following factors - what do you want the players to do, how do you think they're going to do it, and do you have something prepared for when they go off the beaten path.

3. Have fun! Seriously, it's called a tabletop GAME, not a tabletop dictatorship.

Kristen: All of my games are Tabletop Dictatorships, all of them. Unfortunately I'm a terrible, weak-willed dictator so this helps nothing.

Alex: Discord Murder Party is different. Mafia/Werewolf operates way differently than D&D and needs a GM SPECIFICALLY so that players don't go off the rails.

Kristen: You are 100% correct.

God my first tabletop I ever DMed for I made my own thing and wrote like... twenty pages for my first session. And then as soon as I started, my players were like HEY I WANNA EXPLORE THE SHOPS

"O-oh.... y-yeah, here's uh... heeeere's a list of shops..."

So then I had to improv like... five shops and make multiple NPCs on the fly and then I found out "it turns out writing an entire paragraph for every NPC is an awful idea because you can't fucking read those notes mid-session"

So my point is don't do that.

Juno: Oh yeah. Last night I had to make up a guy named Lucas on the spot because JoJo's character wanted to convince a guy not to kill them

Kristen: YEP I ran the generic 5e DnD starter for a group of friends and somehow it went from a generic "you all hunt down and kill a bunch of goblins and a bugbear in a cave, way to go" to "You spared a Goblin who has a ridiculous Brooklyn accent who hates his job and now you're starting a ridiculous worker's revolution and this has ended with you all enlisting every other goblin you were supposed to fight into swarming the bugbear boss. Okay."

Juno: I mean. That's a pretty bomb plot twist if you ask me.

Kristen: Oh yes, I enjoyed it immensely. Also really in the context of a DnD game I'm pretty sure that shouldn't be doable cause I don't think any of them were supposed to be able to speak common. If your players are setting themselves up for a more interesting story and you have to bend the rules a bit to make it happen, go for it. One of the most important things for GMing is making your players feel like they have agency- as Alex said, it's collaborative, it's not just you telling your players a story.

Another thing to keep in mind is what sort of players you have. I usually prefer to play with people who are more into the RP/story aspect, but some people are gonna be more into them fighty fights and mechanics and such. Which is fine and can work, it's just a matter of striking a balance in your game.  I usually try to tailor things in such a way that everyone's getting a chance to get what they want out of a game and their shot at the spotlight, in whatever manner that takes. For me it's helped to ask my players directly "hey, what do you want out of this game? Do you have any ideas or anything you're really into?"

Mostly what I'm saying is just try to keep in mind what your players are in this for, since that contributes a lot to how much fun you all have.

Atwas: Something that's helped me a lot is to not stress out or stop the game entirely to double check rules. It sort of kills momentum. In my experience, ruling a situation and then looking something up later is a lot less stressful than the pressure of putting something completely on pause while you flip through a book/google something.

If you're doing stuff in real life, I would recommend making a little cheat sheet of your PC's information. My DM screen has sticky notes with each party characters HP, AC, Passive Perception, and Spell Save DC to keep things streamlined.

Kristen: Oooo smurt

Alex: Hell yeah dude. Also there are custom DM screens you can get tailor-made to give you quick rules references. Fairly cheap on Amazon.

Atwas: Also your players don't know if you're winging stuff unless you tell them. ;^)

Also also don't be scared of bumping monster hp up or down depending on a fight or having monsters run away or call in reinforcements. If you go off script in an encounter--surprise! Nobody knows but you. I did that quite a bit when I was starting out because balancing encounters is a bit of an art and CR is a loose guideline at best.

Also also also the point of the game isn't to win. Don't fall into the trap of "beating your players" or stuff like that. Imo that kind of messes with the table dynamics unless 100% of everyone is on board with that type of game.

Kristen: Yeah, don't fall into that and also be careful not to go into the mindset of "punishing" your players if they do something dumb. Like if it's a silly "you did this thing and consequences have gone WILDLY outside of what you expect wheee", awesome, but I've had DMs who basically would act like if you didn't somehow read their minds and find their exact solution, welp you made a dumb choice and now everyone is penalized for it. Made for a pretty toxic atmosphere, do not recommend. Kind goes hand in hand with "don't be a tabletop dictator".

Atwas: oh gods i could go on and on about how punishing someone in game never works for out of game behaviour but i digress. also please don't feel afraid to talk to your players, even if having adult conversations is difficult.

Juno: Cause and effect is the biggest thing to think about I think, especially in a DMing situation.

Alex: For instance, siccing a Revenant on the party? Thavagath made a bad decision in character, that's the natural consequence, he gets a chance to save his ass. Someone makes a dick joke about your carefully crafted NPC? Don't be a dick right back.

Atwas: sweats, trying to think back to the last time a dick joke was made in Fallen Empires

Alex: Like I think the last major one was Phill pulling a muscle stretching so hard to make a joke for five minutes about the "Male Room" rather than the "Mail Room"

But then we - wait for it - ACTUALLY DISCUSSED THE ISSUE OUT OF GAME and stuff like that doesn't pop up any more.

Atwas: WHAT? SPEAKING LIKE REASONABLE ADULTS?!?! IN MY TABLETOP?!?!?! it's really useful. please have those conversations, even if they're uncomfortable. and if something is becoming an issue, bring it up sooner rather than later--turns out that people can't change stuff if they don't know about it! Most people want to stay friends after a campaign after all.

Jojo: Have your story planned, npcs, and what you want an end goal to be. Make sure it's all planned out BEFORE asking people to join it. And if you need a second DM to help you with Dice or story, then that's ok too! I'm still a beginner DM myself, so that's the best advice I can give

These guys are pros, so listen to them

Phill: Heheh... male room

Alex: Phill no you'll pull your hamstring again

Phill:

Atwas: what do you think is Phill's average Henderson rating?

Alex: Phill has at least One Henderson in him, he destroyed Underdark to the point of we can't go back to it ever now.

Phill: I mean. Yeah. Honestly, I could've very easily seen phresh reach a 1.75 hendersons eventually.

Atwas: I'd say 1.75 works. 2 is still out of reach, but one day...

Xander: Underdark is cursed content and deserved better

Atwas: How many of he players had that as their first campaign? 3/5?

Xander: I believe so

Alex: Uprising and I had played before, I don't think Jojo, Dawn, or Phill had.

Xander: I'm probably gonna reboot Underdark one day. Wipe the slate clean. Probably not gonna be done on IR

Alex: We did it! We reached two Hendersons!

Xander: Two full Hendersons.

Phill: time unveil my new original character. Blesh

Alex: Blerish

Xander: More like Blemish

10 Basic Tips To Make House Videos Look Expert (Component 1)

You have actually possibly listened to the saying "the very best video camera is the one that's with you". In today's globe, the very same can be claimed for camera.

As mobile phone cameras have gotten gradually much better, they've come to be trustworthy devices for videotaping videos on the move. The majority of new tools document in 4K or complete HD, and with increasing phone storage area, it's less complicated than ever to shoot, conserve, and also share videos.

However although it seems easy, taking video clips is a skill that's tough to solve. The major issue is that we frequently go for movie-level production top quality on gadgets that-- while excellent-- have their restrictions. So whether it's tape-recording videos to publish online or merely to record memories you wish to share, these 10 simple suggestions will help you take and produce far better video clips.

While these regulations primarily relate to mobile phones, a lot of them also apply for various other taping gadgets-- consisting of tablets, cameras, and also GoPros.

1. Always Usage the Back Video Camera

This may seem like an evident regulation, yet it's simple to fail to remember. While front cameras have actually obtained much more reliable for FaceTime and video telephone calls, they've not yet gotten to the factor where you can get good, constant video quality. Unless you're tape-recording a brief (Snapchat/WhatsApp) video of on your own to share, constantly make use of the main electronic camera at the back of your gadget to tape-record videos.

2. Stability and also Emphasis

It is essential to hold your gadget with both hands while taping video clip. Utilize a tripod or area your electronic camera on a stable surface for finest outcomes if you can. One more point to bear in mind is to frequently consider your phone to make sure that your recording is smooth. Stay clear of any kind of temptation of taking a look at the scene you're recording. Some cam apps let you tap the display to focus on the subject you wish to tape.

3. Tape in Landscape Setting

As mobile phones have grown, picture seems like the rational (and comfortable) way to record video clip. While that's great to see on a smart phone, remember that videos are best seen on a cinema, like a PC or TELEVISION. Picture mode does underestimate to those displays because you're losing beneficial property. So even if you have to tape something quickly, enter the practice of recording in landscape mode.

Adding a grid lets you utilize your history as a factor of reference to make certain that your recording is constantly right. Some tools don't have this choice. On the ones that do, it's a setup you might need to enable within your video camera application.

The grid assists you straighten your video clip versus a line in the background to guarantee you're taping straight video clips. If you're tape-recording people, then place their eyes in level with the top grid line. Digital photography lovers will certainly recognize this as sticking to the spiritual Guideline of Thirds, which assists you framework things within your shot better.

5. Lighting

Illumination plays a bigger function in videography than digital photography due to the fact that it's very easy to modify, brighten, or use a filter and also get away with dark photo, yet doing the exact same to a video can destroy its high quality. As a basic rule of thumb, ensure that your subject is illuminated by a bright resource of light that's preferably behind you. Use your mobile phone's flashlight only as an absolute last hope.

D.I.R.T. is the most recent release of code pros take on the Colin McRae rally games. D.I.R.T. as the name suggests is an all new style in the show with complete HD graphics. That is not to mention that fans will be let down in the sport. D.I.R.T. veers a fantastic bit further into arcade land than earlier games, but is still a blast to drive, and some truly stunning graphics.

You will find have been lots of driving games which appear impressive, but very few live up to the HD visuals on screen in D.I.R.T. the sport is a standard in second generation racers in track design, auto, and damage modeling. The cars are beautifully rendered, highly detailed models that appear so real you can even observe the brake calipers functioning. You are able to loose the majority of your body components like auto's side skirts, wheels, hood, exhaust, loads of things. The tracks are only as beautiful in the monsoon riddled mountains of Japan to the dry desserts of Australia, to the tarmac rallies of Italy, and the country roads of the UK.

All these fantastic visuals come at a cost, however, the frame rate suffers occasionally and I detected slow-down on a few races, especially on tracks with numerous cars on the track. So expect some performance problems unless your running a top of the line pc slow-down isn't as far as the 360 version but nevertheless is bothersome.

One problem with D.I.R.T is the multiplayer lacks a great deal of the game modes there's only hill-climb and rally. The regular way of internet play can be found your dumped in a lobby with a choice of servers you then vote on a monitor. You can not pick a vehicle that you want just random all the time that is disappointing.

When you stop staring at the graphics you are presented with six game modes such as, rally, and rally cross, hill climb. Crossover, time strike and rally help. The game does a fantastic job in relieving you into these modes explained by Travis Pastrana in the onset of an event.

Realistic damage does occur a lot but the sport still has an arcade feel to it. But this does not by no means make this easy once you get past the first couple of events things really get tough The handling is somewhat mild and may feel as though your not around the trail a bit.

Home Studio Guide: How to Build a Home Recording Studio Setup

Home Studio Guide: How to Build a Home Recording Studio Setup: via LANDR Blog

Your home studio is your music creation hub. It’s the place where your inspiration and workflow meet and your tracks take shape.

Advances in technology and consumer electronics have made recording at home more accessible than ever before. 

The idea of making quality music cheaply at home and mixing it yourself used to be unthinkable. But today’s home studio recording equipment can sound fantastic. 

More and more musicians are choosing to record and produce at home, in their bedroom or garage rather than rent time at expensive studios—and you can too.

Computer

DAW

Audio Interface

Headphones

Studio Monitors

MIDI Controller

Microphone

Samples

Cables

First steps: home recording studio equipment essentials

A home studio is a collection of equipment for recording or producing music at home.

A basic home studio is made up of several pieces of equipment that function together to let you produce music.

Any home studio setup will need this recording equipment:

Laptop or Desktop Computer

DAW software

Audio interface

Headphones

Studio Monitors

Microphones

Samples

Cables

In this guide I’ll go through each in detail and lay out some good options producers of all skill levels.

Use the menu bar on the left to navigate between the sections of this guide.

1. Music Computer: Digital music production center

The majority of today’s music production takes place in the digital domain. To record digitally, you’ll need a computer.

But here’s the good news– Modern computers have plenty of processing power for audio tasks. You won’t need to buy a special, souped-up machine to start your home studio.

A laptop or desktop with decent specs has enough processing muscle to get you started. 

PC or Mac used to be a hot debate in the pro audio community, but in recent years the difference between the two platforms has diminished. 

Use whatever type you’re most comfortable with.

But if you already know you’re going to be putting your music production computer through its paces with lots of demanding plugins, here are the computer specs that matter most.

Processor speed

CPU processor speed is still one of the most significant factors when it comes to processing power for audio.

Look for more cores and faster clock speeds for a better overall processor.

Hard Drive

Running an SSD (solid state drive) as your system boot drive is one of the best upgrades you can make for your PC in general.

But it also helps for music production. Using an SSD makes your computer more responsive and quicker to start up.

You’ll see the benefits if your DAW and other music applications are installed on the extra fast SSD.

Adequate RAM

You may think you need to max out your computer’s RAM to get the best performance in your DAW.

This isn’t always true. 8 GB of RAM will handle basic audio tasks just fine.

But if you’re planning to run multiple instances of heavy multi-GB sample libraries at low buffer sizes, you may want to expand.

2. DAW: Studio recording software

DAW stands for Digital Audio Workstation. It’s the main computer program you use to record, edit, mix and arrange your music.

If your home setup was a traditional recording studio, your DAW would be the tape machine.

But modern DAWs can do so much more than that. DAWs allow you to record and edit MIDI as well as audio.

MIDI is the language that digital instruments like synthesizers and drum machines use to communicate with each other. It’s also how you input musical information to virtual instruments inside your DAW.

Choosing a DAW is a big decision, so we put together a guide to help you choose between the best options.

3. Audio Interface: Play and record audio with your computer

The next main item in your home studio is your audio interface.

Every sound that comes in or out of your DAW has to pass through your interface to get where it’s going.

An audio interface is the piece of gear that converts analog signals from your microphones or instrument to digital input you can record in your DAW.

But it also converts the digital signals in your DAW back into to audio you can hear with the your speakers or headphones.

That’s just as important. Hearing your tracks in full quality is essential for making informed mix decisions.

That’s what makes  your audio interface such an essential part of your home studio.

We put together the ultimate list of the 52 best audio interfaces and a detailed guide to picking the right one so you can find your perfect audio interface.

4. Headphones: Hear your tracks properly

Next you’ll need some way to listen to the tracks you’re laying down in your DAW. 

You might prefer to use studio monitors for the majority of studio listening, but headphones are an essential tool in any home studio.

Your headphones will always be important for tasks like tracking and mix referencing.

And despite what many pro engineers say, it’s completely possible to mix music well on headphones.

If you’re working with a limited budget, starting off with a good pair of headphones is a good solution until you can afford a set of monitors.

5. Studio Monitors: Mix better with the right speakers

Headphones are important for any home studio, but mixing on them exclusively can be fatiguing during long sessions.

Most engineers do the majority of their work using near-field monitors.

Studio monitors are specially engineered speakers designed to sound clean, clear, flat and neutral.

Unlike consumer audio speakers, these listening tools are not designed to flatter the music or make it sound more pleasant.

In fact it’s almost the opposite.

Studio monitors reveal every flaw in a sound so you can address it in the mix. That extra detail is the insight you need to make your tracks sound great

Still, all studio monitors sound different and choosing the right ones is a highly personal decision.

Check out our guide to the best studio monitors to find your perfect pair.

6. MIDI Controller: Play virtual instruments in your DAW

MIDI stands for Musical Interface Digital Interface. It’s the language your digital music tools use to communicate with each other.

MIDI carries the information that tells synthesizers and virtual instruments which notes to play, when to play them and other types of musical gestures.

You can write MIDI manually using the mouse, but most producers find it easier to play the notes using a MIDI controller.

A MIDI controller is a hardware device used to input MIDI. MIDI controllers can have keys, pads, knobs, sliders or a combination of input types.

Most home studios include a MIDI controller. If you need help choosing one, check out our guide to the 50 best MIDI controllers available

7. Plugins: Use audio effects in your DAW

Plugins are the software sound tools you use in your DAW for, mixing, synthesis, effects, sampling and more.

Most DAWs come with a capable set of built-in plugins that are more than enough to create a professional sounding track.

But third-party plugins are how you expand your sonic palette and make your sound your own.

Maybe you want to assemble the perfect virtual instrument rig with your synth plugins.

Or maybe you’re an effects junkie always on the hunt for a new reverb plugin.

Whatever your niche, plugins can be incredibly inspiring.

They’re a huge part of what makes producing music so exciting.

8. Microphones: Record your vocals and more

Unless you’re making music exclusively with VSTs or samples, you’ll need to capture your sounds with a microphone to bring them into your DAW.

There’s an enormous number of microphones out there—and not all of them are well-suited to every task.

We put together a special guide for choosing a microphone based on which source you’ll be recording.

But if you just want to get an idea of what’s out there, check out our list of the 30 best microphones.

When it comes to microphones, we know there’s one source that’s on everyone’s mind: vocals.

There’s no easy to way to recommend the perfect mic for every singer, but matching your mic to your singing style is a good way to start.

 9. Samples: Sounds to use in your music

Samples are the perfect way to start with music. 

A well-rounded sample library is a helpful home studio staple.

The raw material for samples can be found anywhere there’s audio. But be careful.

Using copyrighted material in your songs can result in getting rejected by digital distribution services or worse—being sued for copyright infringement.

The best way to work with samples is to get access to a library of pre-cleared samples that are ready to use in your music right way.

There are many different audio cables types but they all have a purpose in studio context.

Your audio interface, microphones, instruments and monitor speakers may all need a different type of cable to connect properly.

Four Beautiful Details About Player Unknown's Battlegrounds Mobile

PUBG Mobile (as the game is officially understood) is unlike the PC and console versions right off the bat in that it's free which it includes a new method to make cosmetic rewards. You still make BP from playing matches, and you still utilize those points to open randomized loot dog crates, now you also make Vitality and EXP points. Vitality climbs up as you total special day-to-day missions, like playing a particular variety of matches or killing a specific variety of individuals. At various thresholds, you open a free loot cage. EXP is earned the same way, and it opens long-term account features, such as unique avatar icons, and goes toward increasing your account level. PUBG presently lacks any kind of monetization, so you can't buy BP with real money, but this need to alter in the future as the game becomes more extensively readily available around the world. Aside from everyday objectives and events that hand out points, there's likewise a seasonal ranking system, with seven skill tiers and unique cosmetic benefits for making progress before a season is out. Seasons last about 2 months. Customizable controls The touch-screen controls work surprisingly well for a game as complex as PUBG. Using the default configuration, you move with a virtual control stick, utilizing your other thumb on the right half of the screen to manage your goal. You fire, aim down sights, crouch, go prone and access your knapsack with virtual buttons on the best side of the screen. Once you're comfortable with the design, you'll discover you have access to all of the very same actions as on the PC version, consisting of leaning and free-looking.

You can personalize the design of the virtual buttons completely by moving them around and altering their size and openness. You can even save numerous design presets. The default design is extremely user-friendly, so I discovered it didn't need much tweaking. Utilizing auto pickup A really cool concept that Player Unknown's Battlegrounds Corp. ought to think about for every version of the game is the mobile variation's auto-pick-up function, which smartly gathers weapons, ammo, attachments and healing products as you walk over them. It'll pick up ammunition just for guns you're using, and it'll auto-equip attachments. MORE: 100+ Great iOS Games for iPhones and iPads This system even auto-swaps lower-tier body armor, knapsacks and helmets for higher-tier ones that you run near. All of this automation assists minimize how much you need to by hand arrange your stock, and if you do not like this process, you can totally disable it. Visual feedback To make up for the reality that most gamers do not use headsets, PUBG Mobile provides you a lot more visual details that would be conveyed through noise in the PC and console versions. A hit marker on the center of your screen shows the direction you have actually been shot from, something famously excluded from the original variation to force gamers to count on sound queues. The minimap will also show a bullet icon in the basic location of neighboring shooting from other gamers, making it a lot easier to find other gamers. You still require to keep an ear out for footsteps, so you need to utilize a good set of earbuds. You will come across AI bots According to Kotaku and The Brink, PUBG uses bots for brand-new players based upon their EXP level and will start gradually filling out the 100-person match with more actual gamers as you acquire levels. This implies your very first trip is rather likely to be successful. I put 4th with a whopping eight kills in my very first match, and I chalked it up to the video game having plenty of unskilled players. Turns out, it may have been the presence of witless AI bots offering me a self-confidence boost. The specific information of how many bots the game uses isn't clear at present. When you first delve into PUBG mobile you will get to produce your character, it's not the inmost character creation system we have actually ever seen, but the real customisation comes through cosmetic clothing opens even more down the road. So there is no reason to spend too much time on this. After developing a character you will pick your experience level with shooters and battle royale video games. This setting will determine if you play with bots for your first couple of matches, or with real human beings, so select carefully, although a couple of heat up matches with bots is a strong concept for newcomers. To actually delve into your first game you will wish to hit the big "START" button in the leading left of the primary lobby screen. However, by tapping package below that you can select which kind of match you wish to play, squads, duos or solo and first person or 3rd individual. As soon as you have actually hit level 5 you can likewise pick which of the two currently readily available maps, Erangle or Miramar, you want to play, and at level 10 you can select to play in some of the game modes such as War or a Quick Match which is restricted to eight minutes. When you hit start button you'll be thrown into a match and from thereon out its fight royale as you know it. Drop from the airplane, find some loot, kill some fools and remain in the circle till you either satisfy an early end, or go out with a chicken dinner. While Fortnite is the exact same game on mobile as it is on PC and console, the exact same can not be said for PUBG. PUBG Mobile is its own thing, and there is no way to rollover development from the PC and console variations to the mobile version. This is mostly because there is many distinctions between the variations. The most obvious is the vastly different content readily available. Just two of the three maps PC players have are readily available on the mobile variation, with Sanhok no place to be seen as of yet. The same can be stated with a variety of weapons, and there are a couple of extremely small differences on the maps. Then there are the extremely various cosmetics. With PUBG Mobile being complimentary to play their main income source is cosmetic products, so as you might anticipate there's a lot more in the mobile than in the PC and Xbox variations. A few of the mobile only cosmetics are in fact quite cool, and we would love to see them make their way to the other platforms at some time. We already have guides for all three PUBG maps, which are accurately replicated on PUBG mobile. For the a lot of part if you are excellent on PC or console then you ought to have the ability to equate that success into PUBG Mobile, as it's successfully the exact same video game. However, with that being said there are a couple of things you ought to know when playing. On PC and console leaning becomes second nature. Having the ability to stick your go out but keep the rest of your body securely behind cover makes it a lot more difficult to hit you, and is a core mechanic. However on mobile it can be harder to use this technique as you'll have to move your thumbs away from moving and aiming to do so. This does make it a little more difficult to utilize well, but with some practise you can master this and stop putting your whole body at danger. Oh, and make sure the buttons are really activated in the settings menu. Having fun with noise is constantly going to be more suitable, as it will allow you to hear what is going on in your area, however if that isn't possible then there is another way to exercise where those shots are originating from. The direction of any shots in your instructions, or those near you, will be shown on the small map. You can then spin to that position and dump a spray of bullets at whoever thought they had actually captured you off guard. + One of the ways that PUBG Mobile runs smoothly on lower end gadgets is to only render the grass and foliage close to the player, so that implies if you believe you are being a sneaky snake in the lawn, you actually just look like a muppet crawling through a field to anybody with a 4x or better scope. Always adhere to hard cover if possible. Crawling through the turf only actually works in the really late video game circles.

Sure, some individuals might say auto-aim is for noobs, however when it assists this much there truly is no reason to turn it off, unless you wish to go pro. The auto-aim on PUBG Mobile is insane good at times, and you should presume that all your foes will be utilizing it too. Make sure to keep this on, and you will barely ever miss a shot once again. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds-- or PUBG as it's known by fans-- is finally readily available on mobile. The PC, Xbox One, and now Android and iOS blockbuster may have lost some ground to Impressive Games' Fortnite in the 'terrific battle royale war', but Bluehole's sandbox kill-fest rules supreme on Android sitting on top of the Play Store with over 10 million downloads. For those new to the video game, the very first thing you must understand is that Player Unknown's Battlegrounds Mobile is everything about enduring up until the bitter end in a 100-person free-for-all or as a group by any ways required. Yet whether you're the kind of gamer that likes to grab the very best weapons you can find and go all guns blazing, or you go with a more stealthy technique, there are some gameplay basics that apply to everyone that gets in the battlefield. In this guide, you'll find some important tips and techniques that will put you ahead of the pack in PUBG mobile and assist you bag those sweet, sweet chicken dinners. A game of PUBG can last as long as half an hour or, if things go terribly wrong, it can all be over in a few seconds. One proven method of exiting early is by misjudging your preliminary landing spot. As a general general rule, you wish to aim for the very best loot spots in the video game's Erangel map (the desert map, Miramar, will introduce in a future update) while also avoiding as many other gamers as possible. There are some particular locations that regularly spawn the very best weapons and armor such as the military base, power plant, or the numerous significant towns, however bare in mind that other skilled players will be heading there too. Editor's Choose 15 best Android video games of 2018! As soon as you have actually jumped out of the freight airplane, keep an eye out for swarms of other players heading to a single location and prevent those locations like the pester. Similarly, do not simply aimlessly drift as soon as you're in freefall-- pinpoint a safe adequate area, preferably with structures so you can grab some loot, and push forward to speed your way there. Buildings will show up as white blocks on the small map, so ensure you're heading in the ideal instructions. If you can't see one you can always open your parachute early and coast over to a decent landing zone. Simply know that every second you spend in the sky is a second your opponents will be using to scoop up loot. Let me re-emphasize this one last time-- if you pass away in PUBG Mobile you are dead. In solo play, there are no 2nd chances, and in teams you'll be putting your team's possibilities of success at risk if you keep getting downed early. When you struck the floor, your first top priority is preparing so you do not get clipped in any initial skirmishes. You'll find essential loot scattered around in buildings and supply cage drops. The latter include the most desired weapons like the insanely effective AWM sniper rifle however remember you will not be the only one hoping to get the spoils.

The most essential loot in the early stages is a half-decent weapons, ammo, and some reasonable armor, as well as a knapsack upgrade (as much as level 3) so you have space for better equipment as you start checking out. Any gun is better than your fists or even the legendary PUBG frying pan, so grab any close-by firearms before engaging an opponent. Armor is likewise important so you can take more hits in a firefight. Like the knapsack, head and body armor is graded from level 1 to 3, however level 3 armor is fairly rare. Go for level 2 armor prior to picking a scrap, or level 1 at a bare minimum. Health items are also a priority. First aid kits are more suitable, but plasters, pain relievers, and so on will all help in a pinch. Thrown items like grenades will end up being more important in the future as an offending or distraction tool once the gamer count has actually reduced, but don't be afraid to toss an explosive surprise if you come across an unsuspecting group early on. This is the ultimate rookie error and it'll get you eliminated more than anything else in PUBG Mobile. Deciding when to conceal and when to attack is a difficult balancing act, however you ought to never ever open fire unless you know your weapon has a possibility of striking the target. While understanding when you remain in range will take some practice for complete newcomers, if you have any experience with PvP shooters you'll currently have a reasonable understanding of the essentials. Shotguns (particularly the amazing S12K) and SMGs are useful for up-close burst damage, attack rifles and handguns are good for mid-range fights, and sniper rifles are perfect for long distance pot shots. If you're shooting at a distant opponent with, state, the otherwise fairly strong Tommy Gun, all you're doing is distributing your position which is a fatal error. Attachments can extend the range of some weapons-- assault rifles with scopes can in some cases be better than sniper rifles-- however some weapons are just beneficial in specific circumstances. Shotguns, for example, are a fantastic tool for clearing out a building however are practically ineffective exposed fields. Where possible, try to keep complementary weapons on hand and don't carry 2 weapons that fulfill the very same function. It'll take a fair couple of games to find out the design of particular locations of the PUBG Mobilemap, let alone the entire thing. While you're getting utilized to the landscape, make sure you're taking note of the small map and keeping an eye on the diminishing backyard. In PUBG, the just safe location lies within "The Circle". This circle will begin to shrink at choose times throughout the match and if you find yourself beyond it for too long, you'll ultimately die. The damage you take in this energized blue field will increase as the circle diminishes. Early on you'll be great for a few minutes, while in the very final stage you will not last more than 10 seconds. Each new circle will reveal on your map as a white summary, so if you view your map you'll constantly know where to go next. There's no requirement to rush in the early stages, however towards completion you'll need to get moving to prevent death while also attempting to stay away from other gamers who will be doing the same thing. You ought to constantly be attempting to stay in cover where possible, but if you do require to move, move quickly and with purpose.

The tiny map likewise has one last trick up its sleeve that you absolutely require to watch out for-- a fire sign. If you hear shooting in your vicinity, have a fast glance at the map and it'll show precisely where it's originating from. Required to get somewhere quick? Then you require a vehicle, my friend. Cars are littered all around Erangel however you'll discover them most frequently near the larger cities and on the main roads. Unfortunately, while there are plenty of cars to go around, there's also up to 99 other players potentially aiming to get behind the wheel too, so be sure it's safe prior to approaching. The motorbike and buggy are both excellent for zipping to the next backyard but will leave you relatively exposed. Larger lorries like the jeep will be slower but are terrific for bring around four players with a nice amount of security. PUBG Mobile's touchscreen controls can be a bit fiddly at the very best of times, so you can picture how tough it is to provide a lethal blow to a challenger when they're driving straight at you. The downside, nevertheless, is the amount of attention you'll draw thanks to those loud engines. PUBG video games generally end with a tiny group of fighters lying around on the flooring hoping another person pops their direct initially. That person generally gets domed instantly, by the way, so ensure it isn't you. Going completely prone in PUBG is an important maneuver, a lot so that it has its own dedicated button. It's also a double-edged sword, nevertheless, as while you'll get a good recoil and accuracy increase and normally be a little bit more concealed, mobility is almost non-existent. If someone techniques you from behind while you're on your chest, you're nearly absolutely going to wind up dead-- especially if you're browsing a scope at the same time. Keep an eye on your mini map and the environments before striking the flooring, and don't be afraid to flank your challengers when they're lying down. When out in the open, making the most of rocks and the sides of buildings for cover can be a much more secure alternative. What PUBG doesn't inform you is that you can really peek around the side of cover without exposing your squishy limbs, but to do that you'll have to take a fast journey to the Settings > Standard menu. Merely toggle Peek & Fire to "Enable" and you'll be able to peer around corners. Simply understand that you're far from invulnerable when doing this, as your head will lean with you, however you'll be a much smaller sized target.

How to Shop Online Like a Security Pro

‘Tis the season when even those who know a thing or two about Internet scams tend to let down their guard in the face of an eye-popping discount or the stress of last-minute holiday shopping. So here’s a quick refresher course on how to make it through the next few weeks without getting snookered online.

Adopting a shopping strategy of simply buying from the online merchant with the lowest advertised prices can be a bit like playing Russian Roulette with your wallet, for the simple reason that there are tons of completely fake e-commerce sites out there looking to separate the unwary from their credit card details.

Even people who shop mainly at big-name online stores can get scammed if they’re not wary of too-good-to-be-true offers. For example, KrebsOnSecurity got taken for hundreds of dollars just last year after trying to buy a pricey Sonos speaker from an established Amazon merchant who was selling it new and unboxed at huge discount.

I later received an email from the seller, who said his Amazon account had been hacked and abused by scammers to create fake sales. Amazon ultimately refunded the money, but if this happens to you around the holidays it could derail plans to get all your shopping done before the expected gift-giving day arrives.

Here are some other safety and security tips to keep in mind when shopping online:

-WHEN IN DOUBT, CHECK ‘EM OUT: If you don’t know much about the online merchant that has the item you wish to buy, take a few minutes to investigate its reputation. After all, it’s not uncommon for bargain basement phantom Web sites to materialize during the holiday season, and then vanish forever not long afterward.

If you’re buying from an online store that is brand new, the risk that you will get scammed increases significantly.  How do you know the lifespan of a site selling that must-have gadget at the lowest price? One easy way to get a quick idea is to run a basic WHOIS search on the site’s domain name. The more recent the site’s “created” date, the more likely it is a phantom store.

-USE A CREDIT CARD: It’s nearly impossible for consumers to tell how secure a main street or online merchant is, and safety seals or attestations that something is “hacker safe” are a guarantee of nothing. In my experience, such sites are just as likely to be compromised as e-commerce sites without these dubious security seals.

No, it’s best just to shop as if they’re all compromised. With that in mind, if you have the choice between using a credit or debit card, shop with your credit card.

Sure, the card associations and your bank are quick to point out that you’re not liable for fraudulent charges that you report in a timely manner, whether it’s debit or a credit card. But this assurance may ring hollow if you wake up one morning to find your checking accounts emptied by card thieves after shopping at a breached merchant with a debit card.

Who pays for the fees levied against you by different merchants when your checks bounce? You do. Does the bank reimburse you when your credit score takes a ding because your mortgage or car payment was late? Don’t hold your breath.

-PADLOCK, SCHMADLOCK: For years, consumers have been told to look for the padlock when shopping online. Maybe this was once sound advice. But to my mind, the “look for the lock” mantra has created a false sense of security for many Internet users, and has contributed to a dangerous and widespread misunderstanding about what the lock icon is really meant to convey.

To be clear, you absolutely should run away from any e-commerce site that does not include the padlock (i.e., its Web address does not begin with “https://”).  But the presence of a padlock icon next to the Web site name in your browser’s address bar does not mean the site is legitimate. Nor is it any sort of testimonial that the site has been security-hardened against intrusion from hackers.

The https:// part of the address merely signifies that the data being transmitted back and forth between your browser and the site is encrypted and can’t be read by third parties. Even so, anti-phishing company PhishLabs found in a survey last year that more than 80% of respondents believed the green lock indicated that a website was either legitimate and/or safe.

Now that anyone can get SSL certificates for free, phishers and other scammers that ply their trade via fake Web sites are starting to up their game. In December 2017, PhishLabs estimated that a quarter of all phishing Web sites were outfitting their scam pages with SSL certificates to make them appear more trustworthy. That percentage has almost certainly increased a year later.

-CHCEK THE SHIPPING

Often times, items that are advertised at steeper discounts than other online stores make up for it by charging way more than normal for shipping and handling.

Be careful what you agree to: Check to make sure you know how long the item will take to be shipped, and that you understand the store’s return policies. Also, keep an eye out for hidden surcharges, and be wary of blithely clicking “ok” during the checkout process.

-DON’T TAKE THE BAIT

Be on guard against phishing and malware schemes that take advantage of shopper distraction and frenzy during the holidays. In years past we’ve seen both leverage emails crafted to look like they were sent from a name-brand store claiming that there was a problem with your order or some component of the shipping process.

One perennial phishing and malware scam that seems to kick into high gear around the holidays is spam that purports to have been sent by the U.S. Postal Service, FedEx, UPS or some other shipping service, warning of a wayward package.

When in doubt about such a message, visit the e-commerce or shipping site directly, and avoid clicking on links or attachments in email — particularly missives that warn of some dire consequences unless you act quickly. Phishers and malware purveyors typically seize upon some kind of emergency to create a false alarm that often causes recipients to temporarily let their guard down.

-SCOUR YOUR STATEMENTS

Some credit card companies offer cardholders that ability to use “virtual credit cards” — apps that generate a unique, ephemeral credit card number that is good for just one purchase or for a short period of time. The idea being that if fraudsters compromise the virtual card number, your bank doesn’t have to issue you a new card and you won’t have the headache that comes with entering new card details at all of the sites where you’ve set up automatic monthly payments.

These virtual cards are nice in theory, but I’ve never been a big fan. Probably because in many cases they require users to have risky add-ons installed and enabled — like Java or Flash Player. But, hey, if this works for you, great.

Most importantly, keep a close eye on your monthly statements. If I were a fraudster, I’d most definitely wait until the holidays to cram through a bunch of unauthorized charges on stolen cards, so that the bogus purchases would get buried amid a flurry of other legitimate transactions. That’s why it’s key to closely review your credit card bill and to quickly dispute any charges you didn’t authorize.

-BUDDY UP

If you’re planning to spend time with friends and family this holiday season, consider giving the gift of your time and helping out with a security checkup. This might involve making sure that new or old PC has up-to-date security software and the requisite software patches, or locking down their wireless router by enabling security features and disabling risky ones.

If you’re visiting parents or older relatives, consider helping them plant their flags at various online sites and services if they haven’t already done so, such as at the Social Security Administration, the U.S. Postal Service, or their wireless phone provider and/or Internet Service Provider (ISP).

You’d definitely make it off of Santa’s naughty list if you helped your loved ones take stock of which online accounts could benefit from more robust multi-factor authentication — and perhaps even guiding them away from SMS/text messages for multifactor toward more secure app- or key-based options, where available. You might even take a minute to explain the perils of re-using passwords across multiple sites, and see if they’re interested in using a password manager.

While you’re at it, ask your friends and family if they’ve frozen their credit files at the major consumer credit bureaus. If not, talk with them about what this entails and how it can help ward off identity theft. If they’re game, you might even consider helping them set it up and ensuring that freeze PINs are securely stored so the information is easily available when and if their credit files ever need to be thawed.

Hey /r/StardewValley! Given the influx of new players here, I thought I'd share a list of the tips & tricks I've discovered myself or gathered over time to help players both old & new. This sub's been great for inspiration, & I wanted to give back to you guys. This is a collection of stuff that even experienced players can play dozens of hours without ever discovering. It's not a guide on how-to basics (e.g. watch TV); that's beyond the scope of this list. For that, I recommend checking out the FAQ & Wiki.If you're looking for a way to take full screenshots of your farm (& any other area), check out my guide here. Also, check out this site by /u/kihashi for a great way to track bundles (sub), and this site for fish.Last Updated: 1 September 2017. Total number of tips so far: 128!Added/revised in latest update: Mining & Adventuring #10, The Valley, Shops & Gifts #38 & 39, Player, House & Skills #22.Check back from time to time to see what's new!This list is spoiler-free. They're marked & can be safely ignored, with enough visible for you to decide if you want to see it. However, things widely discussed here (such as Junimos) are unmarked.I'm on PC, so I've written these tips from that perspective. Please account for minor differences (such as controls) for your platform.For unique tips I've read here, I've done my best to credit you! Forgive me if I've missed you, & please let me know. I'll link your original post.I try to ensure that the list's always accurate & up to date, with multiple sources or testing myself. This post is now archived but I continue to maintain it - if you have any input, you won't be able to comment, but please PM me! I'll mark an edit next to my tip & credit you.I love feedback! If this helped you, please link back to it when you share so that others may read it too. Thanks!Farm & BuildingsPlace scarecrows, sprinklers or lights on flooring/paths to prevent the hoe from digging them up.Left-click to drop a sellable item you're holding into the shipping box directly without opening the inventory.Retrieve the last shipped item from the box by right-clicking on the shipping box & clicking on the shipped item.With upgraded tools, hold down the button to increase the area of effect. This seems obvious, but a surprising number of people miss it (e.g. watering cans not only have better capacity, but water more tiles & in different patterns if held down). Bonus: tool sparkle colour corresponds to the upgrade level.The pickaxe can undo tilled soil.All tiles above tilled dirt that uncovered an item (always clay except winter) will also contain that item. Video. (Patched, thanks /u/greymeta).Shake trees for seeds. Edit: during the last 2 weeks of fall, maple trees drop hazelnuts instead of maple seeds (thanks /u/rabidcow).If you don't get giant crops on harvest day, leave mature crops unharvested for a few days (ensure continued watering) & they'll form. The number of days needed varies; personal experience has been 4-12 days for fusion.You can plant fruit trees inside the greenhouse, both in the plot & on the floor outside the plot border. Planting behaviour differs slightly normal; you can plant trees in tilled & untilled soil here (unlike only untilled on farmland). The most efficient is my layout. You can plant more trees along the bottom edge, I chose not to as they obscure the view of the plot.There's a 0.5% chance that you can get ancient seeds from the seed maker instead of the same variety as the input crop. Blueberries & cranberries are great choices for farming ancient seeds.It's faster & easier to hold right-click while harvesting crops rather than clicking individually on every tile. Hold seed bags to replant the tiles simultaneously, saving time.Junimos can phase through trellis crops to harvest, so you can plant them without gaps. Remember they don't harvest when it's raining.The star quality of crops that you put into machines such as kegs has no effect on the end-product quality. To maximise profits, process the lowest star goods & sell the leftover higher star goods (unless you can afford to wait & process everything). However, note that cheese in casks is an exception. Cheese ages from base quality to silver (3d), to gold (4d), to iridium (7d). Putting in cheese that already has a star quality begins its processing at that stage, cutting down the days taken to reach the next higher quality, giving you quicker turnaround/profit. Therefore, star quality does have an impact on the end product here.You can place torches on fences, the floor, & behind objects/furniture.You can make oil from sunflower seeds, sunflowers, & corn in the oil maker (corn's usually overlooked).You can make wider fence gates by having a different kind of fence on either side of the gate. For instance, (HW) = hardwood fence, (W) = wood fence, & (G) = gate. Normally, you'd make (HW)(HW)(G)(HW)(HW). Instead, make (HW)(W)(G)(W)(HW). The stumps to which the gate is attached must be a different material than the main fence (it doesn't matter which), so another example: (W)(HW)(G)(HW)(W). Screenshot. This makes it easier for a horse to go through. Source. Edit: it doesn't necessarily need to be fences, as long as you disconnect the gate's stumps. The rest is cosmetic: other path blocking items (such as tub o' flowers) also work (thanks /u/greymeta).Self-sustaining grass feeders can regenerate grass to keep fields green & animals fed. Grass spreads on its own (including from under fences), provided it isn't eaten first. Animals will only eat grass they can stand on; a feeder's a patch that we prevent them from eating. Lay down grass starters & put fences on top of it (suggested: 2x2, but any config's okay). After a few days, you get new grass around it that animals eat, while the grass underneath remains unharmed, making new grass around it. Screenshots w/ spread. Source. Guide w/ math. Edit: lightning rods work too (thanks /u/Raichu7).To get flower honey, it doesn't matter if there are flowers around a bee house when the honey starts forming. They only need to be there when you collect it. Similarly, if you harvest a flower around a bee house that had flower honey ready for collection, it will become wild honey. Bonus: to get just "honey" (not wild honey), use the pickaxe on a bee house that's ready for collection to pick both up. This unlabelled honey doesn't serve any different purpose & sells for the same amount as wild honey. Just a little quirk.Use "indicator kegs" outside barns/sheds to signal when the kegs inside are ready for collection. Load all the kegs inside with fruit & load one outside (e.g. next to the door) just after. You don't need to go inside the barn to check whether the wine's ready - once you see the indicator keg's ready, the rest are too. Edit: currently, a known issue (as of 1.11) causes indoor & outdoor keg timers to go out of sync during festival days. Time elapsed when you come back to your farm (after the event) is only applied to the indicator, making them finish processing faster, yielding a false positive. Source (thanks /u/GlassDeviant).If you're not carrying an axe/bomb, don't get boxed inside fencing/trellis crops. You won't be able to chop your way out. You'll have to sit there until you pass out. That is your life now.Underrated side effect of the botanist perk: all foraged items use less inventory space (the same quality will stack). Very useful when collecting truffles.Farming in winter is not only possible, but potentially lucrative.You can axe away unwanted bushes in the forest farm, but note they won't grow back.Remember that Sandy sells unique seeds that you can't buy anywhere else.Plant grass starters on the 28th for batshit growth the next day. It's a good way to keep animals happy in a small space (thanks /u/owlrecluse). Remember that grass dies in winter, so cut everything by fall 28 into hay; new grass will spawn in spring (thanks /u/aznanywayz).A pickaxe isn't strictly necessary to pick up an object that usually needs it. Click on it repeatedly with an empty hand, & it will eventually pop up for collection (thanks /u/owlrecluse). Edit: I tested it with sprinklers, kegs, oil makers, seed makers, recycling machines & cheese presses (gates too, thanks /u/MuphynManOG).You don't need to remove broken fences before mending them. Just place a replacement on top of it even if the tile is red (thanks /u/AlfLives).In the forest farm, tall grass can be planted on short grass, but will not spread there (thanks /u/EndlessArgument).Remember that you can process coconuts & cacti in machines (e.g. preserves jar) (thanks /u/blasek0). Buying coconuts from Sandy just to process them isn't worth it (math here), but if you have idle jars, throw in coconuts you find in (spoiler, unlockable area:) the desert for profit (thanks /u/Psylisa).Fences decay over time unless you get the golden clock. Instead of making traditional fences you have to fix, you can make indestructible, functional fences by using objects such as preserves jars instead. See my farm for an example. Others include tub o' flowers, lightning rods, kegs, etc.Giant crops can survive indefinitely through the seasons (they don't die out like normal crops if they're not in season). If you just want some giants for aesthetics, don't harvest them & they'll live on even through winter. Example.As of 1.07, lightning is more likely to strike trees & crops, but lightning rods have a very good chance of intercepting them if they aren't already processing a battery (thanks /u/Avarice0107).If you like having Junimos hang around your farm, fence in a harvestable crop/flower in the vicinity (single tile will do). Junimos will come out to harvest it, but the fence will prevent them from reaching it. This way, you can have them about all the time, not just on harvest days.Follow-up to #33: Junimo huts have a toggle harvest button. If you don't want Junimos to harvest but still like them hanging around, you can stop them by toggling it off. You still need ripe crops to lure them out (or else they stay in), but you can toggle it on/off midday, so you can have them harvest most crops & then just stay out until you want (thanks /u/some_internet_rando). Update: use this to grow giant crops in range of the Junimo huts. Junimos don't harvest giants if they're already there, but this lets you leave ripe crops on the field for some time to fuse (see #8).To save time tilling the field for planting in a new season, leave crops planted that will die out on next season's day 1. You can then quickly clear away the dry plants with a scythe & be ready to plant new ones, so that you have more time to do other things on that day. Useful in the transition from winter to spring where you can use cheap winter seeds that you don't mind losing.If you blow up your Statue of Perfection with a bomb it is destroyed & does not drop as an item. However, you can just get another one by interacting with the shrine again. Source (thanks /u/reverendsteveii).If you want to redesign your farm, the quickest way is to have Robin/Wizard move your buildings & use bombs to clear the rest. Note that explosives are destructive on certain items, so if you want to reuse something, remove it manually. For e.g. if you use the pickaxe to remove 1 tile stone fencing, you'll get 1 unit of stone fencing intact to reuse elsewhere. Bombing it turns it into 1 stone (2 units stone = 1 tile stone fencing, so you get back half the ingredients).Debris around the farm (e.g. wood) can spread, destroying placeable objects/crops when it does. Pathways prevent debris from spreading onto (& across) them. If you have a valuable crop such as starfruit or a rarecrow (some of them are irreplaceable) ensure you protect them by placing the scarecrow on a path & have paths around the crops (thanks /u/ghoulavenger). Source.If you're lacking farm space to tap trees or need lots of resin to make kegs, use empty spaces outside the farm to plant trees there. See The Valley, Shops & Gifts #27 on how to plant trees outside the farm. Example.You can use a crystalarium trick to change any gem/mineral into another. Video & source.If you are dissatisfied with your choice of farm cave & want to change it, you can use the What FarmCave mod or edit your save file. Neither choice is the end of the world. They're not moneymakers; they just give you a nudge towards completing a relevant community center bundle.The forest farm has a hidden passage that connects the two grassy areas on the left.You can put hats on the alien rarecrow!FishingHold bait while harvesting from crab pots to prevent accidentally picking them up & reload them in one go.Cast the fishing line at bubbles in the water for quicker bites.Fishing's not limited to water (you can fish in lava/swamps).You can pause time while fishing by clicking the on-screen journal button (not shortcut key). Fishing continues with the journal open. Once you hear a bite, close the journal to start reeling in the fish. This allows you to catch nearly 4x the fish in the same time, & hit a high fishing level early on. Edit: you need to have a quest in the journal for the button to show up; complete any quest & not collect the reward to keep it there (thanks /u/greymeta).It's possible to reach reach unreachable fishing spots like this by casting your line at an angle. Press the WASD keys once you start casting & it will move the hook slightly in that direction (thanks /u/teibbes). Screenshots (thanks /u/Kairuni).Animals & RanchSilos can be reloaded not just by cutting grass, but manually from outside & from within a coop/barn. Hold hay & right-click the silo/indoor dispenser to add it to the silo. This allows you to have less silos on your farm. Put a chest down nearby to hold multiple stacks of hay (much larger capacity than a silo) & just reload it when it gets low. Full tip here.Hold a piece of hay while petting animals to prevent the mood dialog from coming up & pet all quickly.You can place machines (e.g. mayo) inside barns/coops.If an animal is blocking your path inside or sleeping in an inconvenient spot, exit the barn/coop & come back to randomise their positions. Also works with pets in your house.The hitbox for cows is centered on the bottom of their sprite (makes sense: udders). It's fairly large, but does not cover the top of their sprite. To milk them, aim low, below their hooves. There's no specific order between animals, so if there's one you want to hit, aim away from overlaps (thanks /u/rabidcow). On PC, get the Better Ranching mod to make this a lot better.Hold a tool that doesn't have a right-click action (such as the scythe or copper pan) while picking up eggs to prevent the dialog asking you to eat it from coming up (thanks /u/KwinAlexander).You can use symbols when you name your animals. Use the = key to get a star in the name & + for a smiley face (not sure about the console equivalent).Further to #4, if a really stubborn animal is in your way, you can move them by clicking on their change/barn coop button & cancelling it out. When the screen closes, they will be in a different location (thanks /u/aznanywayz).As of 1.2.x, you can now choose the colour of the animal you buy from Marnie, mentioned on the "choose a new for your " screen. If you don't get the one you want, cancel & re-roll until you do. Source. Relevant Shane's 8-heart event spoiler: this also applies to blue chickens, so you no longer need to depend on the 25% RNG which converts a regular chicken into a blue one.Mining & AdventuringA floor in the mines containing tons of mushrooms (see video) spawns on a regular, predictable basis. It's very useful for money, completing bundles, & cooking.You can reset mine levels by re-entering the mine. I farmed iridium fairly quickly by repeatedly reloading skull cavern level 1.Get the slime charmer ring faster by killing big slimes in the skull cavern (they split into many tiny slimes, each count as 1 kill).You can till soil in the mines to find artifacts, cave carrots, clay, & geodes.You can tell the difference between regular rocks & rock crabs in the mines by glancing at their shadow. No shadow = it's a crab. (note: may not work any more). Bonus: hitting a rock crab with a pick will wake it up & it will attack you, but hitting it with a weapon does not (you get the PING & a 0 damage indicator. A bomb or explosive slingshot ammo will shatter the shell, & it'll run away from you instead. Using the pickaxe from above hits them down, so they don't come at you & do damage right away (thanks /u/Caillielf). You can use the pickaxe to pop the shell too, though it takes a few swings (thanks /u/Isalan).You can use eggs as slingshot ammo. Hide behind the bushes & egg people (you know you want to). Edit: you can also load it with ore for combat, & explosive ammo makes a decent combat/mining tool (thanks /u/pimhazeveld).Holding C will allow you to spam weapon swings faster than you can manually click. This can make weapons such as daggers much more effective in combat. Also works with any swing-able tool (e.g. scythe).You can eat something while a bomb explodes to deny the damage & stop time for a bit (if you time it right). It still causes damage & knocks mobs back (thanks /u/Joey0312).You can till dirt at mines, get items, un-till it using the pickaxe, & repeat to get more items (random each time, may include artifacts). Source (thanks /u/Alkaizen). Note: this tip's for educational purposes only; even though this is possible, it's not the most efficient way to mine for artifacts. It's much easier to go to floor 15/55/95 (the layout is the same every 40th floor), till the dirt right by the elevator, leave, & come back. The dirt resets every time you go to the floor. This is much less of a drain on energy & time & is the recommended method (thanks /u/Zolge).You can pick up coal from minecarts.The Valley, Shops & GiftsYou can buy ice cream in non-summer seasons even when no one's manning the stand! Park your horse behind the counter & instead of getting the message that says no one's working there, you can now buy as much as cream as you like, whenever you like. From your horse. This is one of my favourite tips because it's just so random. Source.You can plant fruit trees outside the farm. (Patched, thanks /u/OldManInternetz). If you planted some before the patch, those will remain.When a villager's heart meter is full, it will no longer decay over time even if you never talk to them.Buy items from shops in multiples of 5 by holding Shift while right-clicking. Edit: on console, hold ▢/X (thanks /u/wohlstand).You can put chests & machines almost anywhere in town (chests at the mine entrance/people's houses, kegs in the tunnel, furnaces/kegs at the quarry, worm bins outside Willy's etc.). Remember to store them away from NPC paths (they trample & destroy anything in their way).Villagers appreciate the star quality of gifts if they are liked/loved.Due to the internal re-use of some item IDs, you can use certain wallpapers as stand-ins for some items in the game, including the prismatic shard (e.g. giving Haley a specific wallpaper is equivalent to giving her a coconut). If you have a catalogue, you have an unlimited free supply of some neat items & gifts. See video. Note: video contains an animal & quest spoiler! Edit: patched for PS4. You can still get the galaxy sword, but can no longer gift the wallpaper (thanks /u/Chenjiringu).You can forage in the trash bins around town for some decent loot. If someone (except Linus) is within 7 tiles when you do it, they'll disapprove & lose some friendship points (line of sight doesn't matter, forage freely).Clint's ore quests can't be instantly completed with ore you already held or took out of a chest in a stack straight away. Put the stack in a chest & take it out one by one for it to count (video) Edit: dropping the exact amount & picking it back up works too - if you drop & pick up more than what's required at once, it won't register (source). You'll hear a "ding" (journal says "Talk to Clint."). It doesn't matter what you do with the ore now. You don't need to hold it while talking to him or even have it in your inventory (don't risk gifting it to him & making him depressed). Source (thanks /u/justintnelson, /u/grand_cheesemonger, /u/FutureCode, /u/diakked, & /u/Raichu7).When you hear a whistle & get a notification saying "a train is passing through Stardew Valley", head up ASAP to the tracks & catch it go by. You might get lucky as it drops some resources. In winter, the train carries presents (just cosmetic but cute).If you want cash instantly, you can sell directly to Willy & Pierre instead of waiting for the shipping box overnight. Useful in early game if you want money for same-day planted seeds. Edit: you can also sell mine loot, weapons, & shoes at the Adventurer's Guild (thanks /u/Caillielf & /u/Lykanth), wood/stone to Robin, & ores/minerals/bars to Clint (thanks /u/Fiametta37).Birthday gifts can be given to a villager at any time, regardless of whether you've already given a villager their 2 gifts for the week. Useful to boost friendship quickly, especially for the spring dance.You can give everyone a bouquet & see all their heart events without penalties before choosing one to give a pendant to.Remember that the travelling cart comes on Fridays & Sundays & can be very useful in completing community center bundles (especially for off-season goods).You can access the lower portion of the (mild spoiler, unlockable area after upgrading axe:) secret forest for some more hardwood. If you ever wondered why the wiki claimed you could get 12, this is why.Make Pam reach the bus stop faster by blocking her path when she's on the way there. She'll run past you. You can also plant a tree in her path to block her to make it more permanent (see #27).At the Stardew Valley fair, always bet on green at the wheel. Here's the math from decompiled code.You can complete the crab pot bundle without ever building a crab pot. Cockles can be foraged at the beach & crabs drop from the rock crabs in the mines.Once a bachelor or bachelorette is at 8 hearts, you can repeatedly give them more bouquets to quickly raise their hearts to ten in the same day. You don't have to wait another potential 2 weeks to see their 10 heart event. It takes approximately 20 bouquets (thanks /u/Cocowife).When trying to complete a community center bundle, check how many blank squares it has. Some bundles show a large list of items needed, but you only need as many items as there are empty squares; you often don't need everything (thanks /u/bagelpizzaman).You don't need to go to the community center (& each room separately) to check on bundle progress. See it at any time by clicking on the bundles button (thanks /u/Trayoos).If you plan to process geodes & upgrade tools on the same day, process the geodes first as Clint will work on your tool only until it's done (thanks /u/Lemerney2).Unlockable area spoiler: if you can't enter the casino, zoom all the way out to be able to interact with the bouncer & the vendor (thanks /u/moonlawliet).Unlockable area spoiler: you can buy deluxe speed-gro at the Oasis on Thursdays for cheaper than at Pierre's (thanks /u/FutureCode & /u/eyemahdin).During fairs & events, always remember to check for interactions everywhere. For e.g. the fall fair has a top area that is easily overlooked, near the water fountain. If you ever wondered why Gus, Elliot, Maru, George, & Evelyn were, that's where they went. You can click the grill to get burgers there!1.1 building spoiler: you can bring your horse with you when you use a warp obelisk, so you're not stuck with having to walk. Park your horse right in front of the obelisk. Dismount (be careful where you click, otherwise you'll warp without your horse). Start walking into it until it shakes & you phase into it, so you occupy the same space as the horse. Click the area that covers both the horse & the obelisk, & as you warp, you will jump on to it. As long as your cursor covers both the obelisk & the horse, you'll be transported with it. Source.You can plant non-fruit trees outside the farm. Pick a spot, use the hoe to dig there, & plant your maple seed/acorn/pine cone there (thanks /u/gridbuster).Unlockable area spoiler: pay back the cost of the 500 g bus ticket to Calico desert easily by foraging. Even the lowest quality coconut goes for 100 g, so pick up a few coconuts/cacti along your way to the skull cavern (better still process those in preserves jars/kegs), & you can make back the money without much effort, besides any good loot you'll pick up in the skull cavern as well.To rearrange the museum exhibit, you'll need to have something to donate (to access that screen). If you give your last item to complete the collection & have nothing left to donate, you'll get stuck with that layout, so make sure you set up everything beforehand. PC players can get around this by using the museum rearranger mod which allows you to change the layout at any time.Unlockable area spoiler: Calico spin at the Casino is the best/only way to make the Qi coins you need to buy everything, & it follows a pattern which can be exploited. Video tutorial (thanks /u/KippDynamite). Illustrated tutorial (thanks /u/Joey0312).1.1 quest spoiler: in the witch quest, you have to get past the goblin henchman by giving him void mayonnaise, which is easily obtained by fishing in the swamp right there. The first item you'll catch is void mayo. If you put a chest there & stash it, you can fish another one, stash it & repeat ad infinitum (you get it about 25% of the time). Source (thanks /u/Myrandall & /u/Nuderval).Remember that you can regenerate health & energy at the spa by standing still in the pool. While you're there, you can enter the opposite gender's locker room, even though it says you're not allowed in. At the pool, push up at the stairs continuously while spamming the button to dismiss the notification & you'll get through (thanks /u/Skinn_Bones). Source.On the 28th of any season, go to the bush in the little alcove north of the swings/slide in town & click on it at exactly 12:00 pm to get a secret gift! Furniture item: Junimo plush..Standing at the edge of the map & swinging your tool will allow you to creep forward & escape the map, to do some cool things. Video & source.The map-escape trick in #34 can also be exploited to get infinite health & energy at the spa. Video & source.You can force the quality of spring onions to be gold only (especially helpful in early game). Fill up your backpack completely, with a gold quality spring onion in 1 slot (no other type of spring onion in your pack). When you click on a spring onion to pick it up, it will spawn as one of the 3 or 4 qualities. Since different qualities occupy different slots, any time a non-gold quality is spawned, it won't let you pick it up since there's no space. Keep clicking until a gold is spawned, whereupon it will be added to the stack in your pack. The quality also affects how much people like them as gifts. Video & source.Don't waste resources making chests for community center quest items. You can lock them into the slot as you get them (note multiples need the exact number). That way you don't have to keep track of what you have (thanks /u/lolcrunchy).You can get Mayor Lewis' shorts without befriending Marnie (thanks /u/Ryandw2).Unlockable area spoiler: buy Qi coins easily by holding right-click on the coin machine & spamming Y on the keyboard (thanks /u/deadline_wooshing_by).Player, House & SkillsStay up past 2 am by clicking on the on-screen journal icon (not shortcut key, as with Fishing #4) once you see the pass-out animation begin. You get a short time to get to bed safely before the animation is triggered again (this is repeatable). You still get an energy penalty the next day, but it's better than losing money early in the game.If a pet/villager is blocking your path, keep walking into them. They vibrate at first, & after a moment, allow you to phase through.Cooking ingredients are pulled from both your inventory & the fridge. I used to put cooked food in the fridge before I realised this. Edit: inventory items are pulled before the fridge (thanks /u/Pellantana).Don't store your legendary fish in the fridge. You might make legendary sashimi by accident. It tastes of regret, & a reloaded day.Sashimi recipe + crab pots = easy energy. If you have fish that isn't very valuable, make it more profitable by turning it into sashimi. Useful if you have a lot of crab pots.Foods that give you speed buffs stack with coffee, & the horse. Wiki.You can place objects on top of & under furniture, even furniture on furniture (e.g. artifacts & decorations on tables, torches underneath tables, & chairs on top of tables). Place a torch behind the Tree of the Winter Star to give it a nice glow.Rotate furniture with right-click before placing it.You can hide chests behind bookcases & under tables. Place the chest in the same spot & you can make functional furniture while saving space in the house. To move a hidden chest, pick up the furniture first to get to it. Source.You can place paths inside the house.Turn on "always show tool hit location" in settings to better see where tools will hit.Controller players: do you often find actions taking place outside the spot you're facing? Are you watering a random tile behind/around you instead of the one in front? This happens because your cursor location interferes with where you're facing. The quickest correction is to hit Y/equivalent to bring up your menu/backpack & dismiss it again. This resets your tool hit to the spot you're facing. I made a gif to demo this.If you randomly/accidentally click things, you might use a tool which costs energy even if it doesn't accomplish anything. Equip a weapon or the scythe instead, which costs nothing to swing.Hover the cursor over the energy & health bars to see the exact numbers of how much you have & use.If you lose your scythe (e.g. after passing out in the mines), & can't find it anywhere, you will likely find it in the fridge.You can change the pitch of flute & drum blocks by right-clicking them. Here's a creative example!When selecting items from the inventory/chest, you can Shift-click a stack to halve it. Useful if you want to redistribute resources, split stacks, or to get to a certain number quickly (e.g. if you want ~300 wood, halve a 400 stack, drop it in your inventory, & halve the source again for another 100) (thanks /u/Ihateleeks).Some objects, such as campfires, can be placed both inside & outside the house/sheds.As of 1.2.x, you can use the Del key to trash items in your inventory. You no longer need to drag them into the trash can. Just select the item & press Del.As of 1.2.x, you can use LB/RB (Xbox controller, tested on PC) to scroll through your three inventory rows, so you have a full new hotbar accessible with the controller without needing to open up the inventory screen (thanks /u/fearofthesky). Source. If you are on PC, Rotate Toolbar does the same for KB/M.Just as you can use Shift to buy items in batches of 5, you can hold Shift while clicking on an item to craft it in batches of 5 instead of 1. Useful for items you usually want to craft a lot of at once, such as fencing (thanks /u/spambreakfast).Remember to have free space in your inventory while picking up presents in the mail from your neighbours. If you don't (or otherwise ESC the screen before collecting it) you'll lose the mail (thanks /u/pikaababe). via /r/StardewValley

Likewise, there's one imperative class you won't see beneath: applications for tuning in to or making music. Music is unfathomably critical—so imperative, truth be told, that we're giving it its own particular separate component one week from now. Try not to stress, music significant others, you won't be deserted.

Similarly as with our first element in the arrangement, we're concentrating on iPhones, Android telephones, and Windows Phone 8 telephones.

Comic books and realistic books

You can't generally jog down to your nearby comic book shop to get your most loved titles, and fortunately, there are applications for that.

As opposed to simply basically showing each page on the screen, you can swipe from board to board. A few funnies even component settings and representation that quicken, which is a slick touch on a generally extremely static medium. The application exploits the A5 or A6 CPU in iOS gadgets or the Snapdragon SOC in Android gadgets and its zooming and movement impacts are smooth and consistent.

[Video Game Deep Cuts is a weekly newsletter from curator/video game industry veteran Simon Carless, rounding up the best longread & standout articles & videos about games, every weekend. This week's highlights include the magic of The Void, John Romero on the TEd tool, Hyper Light Drifter's charm, & much more.

We're here! GDC 2017 kicks off first thing on Monday here in San Francisco, and whoa, there's still lots to do, so I'll keep it brief. Oh, one useful thing - ex Game Developer magazine EIC (& excellent indie dev!) Brandon Sheffield made a super helpful post about all the cool stuff you can see with an Expo Pass at GDC this year - and if you have a bigger pass, you can see all the listed things too!

Whether at GDC or not, have fun this week, and I'll be back next weekend with an all-GDC Video Game Deep Cuts.

-------------------

Why Ever Stop Playing Video Games? (Frank Guan / New York Magazine) "Like so many others, I played video games, often to excess, and had done so eagerly since childhood, to the point where the games we played became, necessarily, reflections of our being. To the uninitiated, the figures are nothing if not staggering: 155 million Americans play video games, more than the number who voted in November’s presidential election."

All work and no play (Simon Parkin / Eurogamer) "Few video game protagonists keep to strict working hours, and how could they? When there's a war to win, a world to save, a lover's heart to ensnare and all the other grand and arduous problems that a game designer asks us to solve, it would be practically irresponsible to clock off a five for a pint of lager, a packet of crisps and a prestige TV box set."

The Dark Souls of News Journalism (Mega64 / YouTube) "If you don't understand this video, you really need to practice and get better at it. [SIMON'S NOTE: This is the Dark Souls of videos that mention Dark Souls.]"

The Video Game Industry Is Afraid of Unions (Emmanuel Maiberg / Motherboard / Vice) "On November 17 of last year, 450 members of the SAG-AFTRA union picketed developer Insomniac Games in Burbank, California. Some of the faces marching up and down the street with signs in hand were familiar, like Clancy Brown, who played Sgt. Zim in the movie Starship Troopers, but who, on that day, stood up for his rights as a voice actor in popular video games like Call of Duty, God of War, and many others."

"Make it Biblical:" How Vagrant Story Changed Game Localization (John Learned / USGamer) "Released that May in North America, Vagrant Story was a significant step forward for English localization... I recently had the opportunity to interview localization editor Richard Amtower and famous translator Alexander O. Smith over email on their breakthrough early work in the field and to reflect on the rise of localization as a craft that truly mattered."

It's time for cyberpunk games to remember how to be punk (Jody Macgregor / PC Gamer) "While most of the games in the genre that followed [Neuromancer & Syndicate] explored spaces somewhere in between those two extremes, there's been a tendency for them to focus on the high-tech and not the low-life. They get the cyber, but not the punk."

The Magic of the First Legend of Zelda (Mark Brown / Game Maker's Toolkit / YouTube) "The next Zelda game, Breath of the Wild, is said to be inspired by the very first game in the series. Let's revisit that seminal game, to see how Nintendo made such an intoxicating adventure."

How fantastical Atari box art taught the world what makes video games special (Nick Wanserski / AV Club) "Atari 2600 box art is well loved and rightly revered. Some of that can be chalked up to nostalgia for a system that was released in the first years of the Carter administration, but there’s no shortage of collectors who appreciate the amount of thought and technical accomplishment that went into crafting the identity of an emerging entertainment form."

What It Takes To Run A Fighting Game Tournament (Suriel Vazquez / Game Informer) "Without people like Rick Thiher, eSports tournaments would be chaos. Major events require hundreds of man-hours, months of planning, and the ability to manage dozens of moving parts deftly. Thiher runs Combo Breaker, one of the largest tournaments for fighting games throughout the year, and as attendees and players tell it, it’s a well oiled machine."

Virtual Reality’s Potential for Magic Gets Real (Brooks Barnes / New York Times) "In an ordinary office complex here, past stacked cartons of Mountain Dew and a throng of hoodie-wearing employees, sits a prototype for an attraction that Hollywood thinks will become the next entertainment craze — an offering that could mint money for its developers, throw a lifeline to struggling shopping malls and, at long last, jump-start sales of virtual reality gear."

World of Warcraft's gold rush has upended Blizzard’s economy (Daniel Friedman / Polygon) "There has been an economic panic in World of Warcraft. On Feb. 6, Blizzard changed the rules, allowing players to exchange WoW Tokens for Battle.net balance. That means that gold you earn or buy in World of Warcraft can now be used in any Blizzard property."

We tried IMAX VR, and it left us excited as hell (and weak in the knees) (Ryan Waniata / Digital Trends) "Suddenly, I’m propelled around a spiraling chute hundreds of feet above an arctic landscape before diving into a glittering river, through frosted ice caves... This isn’t Disney’s latest Star Tours ride, and it’s not exactly an arcade game, either. It’s part of an all-new take on VR from cinema magnate IMAX (that’s right, IMAX) called The IMAX VR Experience Centre."

Hyper Light Drifter: The Best Game Ever (Cool Ghosts / YouTube) "[SIMON'S NOTE: Another wonderfully deep analysis - as a YouTube commenter notes: 'So we get a "spoilers" warning but not a "this next bit will make you reflect back on your past, wasted opportunities, reflect on your future, inevitable demise and then cry inside" warning? Yeah cheers, Matt ;)'.]

The three reasons YouTubers keep imploding, from a YouTuber (Michael Sawyer / Polygon) "Allow me to extrapolate on a meme those kids today are using: “Dude, you had one job. And it looked like a really easy one.” Let’s Players, streamers or content creators, whatever you like, get to play video games and make jokes while doing so. It seems like a dream gig, so why even risk these sort of gaffes?"

Q&A With Eugene Jarvis: Cruis’n Blast And The Modern Arcade Industry (Arcade Heroes) "The last time we talked with Eugene Jarvis, CEO of Raw Thrills, it was about Jurassic Park. Fast forward to today and his company is busier than ever, pumping out Space Invaders Frenzy, The Walking Dead, Cruis’n Blast along with some other titles in development."

Meet The Woman Raising Japan’s Next Generation Of Street Fighter Champions (Cecilia D'Anastasio / Kotaku) "When I called Street Fighter pro Yuko “Chocoblanka” Momochi at 11 a.m. Japan time, her husband, the legendary Street Fighter champion Yusuke Momochi, was asleep. The husband-wife team, both Street Fighter players, had recently launched a school to train promising Japanese competitors."

Classic Tools Retrospective: John Romero talks about creating TEd, the tile editor that shipped over 30 games (David Lightbown / Gamasutra) "In recent years, retrospectives of classic games have been well received at GDC, but there have been very few stories about classic game tools... For the first article of this series, I have the great pleasure of speaking with John Romero about TEd, the tile editor that he created at id Software, which went on to ship 33 games."

VA-11 Hall-A is Not About Bartending, it's About Your Life (Jake Juliett / Field Notes For Play / YouTube) "Thusly, I enjoy VA-11 Hall-A for the thing it is - a story about living well in modern society. I also mention the woeful lack of analysis about the story."

Playing With Toys While People are Dying (Paul Kilduff-Taylor / Medium) "The work of video game developers distracts the world from problems which desperately need solutions. The culture this feeds is fundamentally depraved, the financial outcomes are random and, ultimately, nothing of worth is produced."

Rod Humble and Erica Gangsei in Conversation (Erica Gangsei / SFMOMA) "In this interview, Erica Gangsei, SFMOMA’s head of interpretive media and creator of the PlaySFMOMA initiative, talks with Humble about his personal and professional projects, and his aspirations for games and gaming."

Todd Howard Discusses Open World Multiplayer, Juggling Seven Projects, And His Hall Of Fame Induction (Matt Bertz / Game Informer) "On the eve of his induction into the AIAS Hall of Fame, we sat down with Howard to discuss his legacy, his plans for the future, and his noble crusade to get EA Sports to resurrect the NCAA Football franchise."

The future of Final Fantasy 15 (Jeremy Parish / Polygon) "That forward-looking attitude continues to guide Tabata's vision for Final Fantasy 15, as the company considers a new model for the franchise: Life for a single-playing story-based game beyond its initial release."

How To Look Dead

If you lay down and press Y really fast you will appear not to move to other players. On your screen you’ll be constantly switching weapons but to enemies you’ll just be laying still and most of the time they will walk right past you. Then you can come up and knife them or shoot them or whatever. It works best when you are somewhat hidden so you’re not just in the middle of the map. It also works best with cold-blooded pro so your name doesn’t show up.

Rank Up Fast

To rank up fast turn on two remotes then go to multiplayer and then go to game mode then click on sabotage, after that go to game rules put all the bomb stuff low as it will go. Then press start. Then do the bomb. Then keep on doin the same math over and over and you’ll be ranked up in no time.

The End Of The End?

In the museum pick up any guns you like. Go to the front of the room. At the front of the desk you will see a red alarm. It says don’t push. If you push it everybody in the room will try to kill you. If you survive and kill everyone go to the other room and do the same thing. You can do this as much as you like. Good luck! You are going to need it.

Best Guns For Maps

Believe it or not there is such thing as a bad class if you’re on a bad map to use it! Here is a list of what type of class to use in every single map!

Maps:Afghan - Assault Rifle/Grenade LauncherDerail - SniperEstate - Assault Rifle/Light Machine GunFavela - Assault Rifle/Submachine gunHighrise - SniperInvasion - Riot Shield, yes, riot shield! Karachi - Heavy Machine Gun/Light Machine GunQuarry - Assault Rifle/Submachine gunRundown - Heavymachine gun/Assault RifleRust - Submachine gun/KnifingScrapyard - Submachine gun/KnifingSkidrow - Assault Rifle/Grenade LauncherSubbase - Light Machine gun/SnipingTerminal - Assault Rifle/ Submachine GunUnderpass - Sniping/KnifingWasteland - Assault Rifle/Light Machine Gun/Grenade Launcher

Remember, this is just my recommendation, you can use whatever you feel like. But with these maps, believe it or not, certain classes can be way to your advantage! Hope this helps!

Unlimited Ammo (Without Hacking)

To get unlimited ammo, you have to be at least level 45 because that’s when you unlock 1 Man Army. Create a class with any gun and 1 Man Army. Whenever you run outta ammo, switch classes to the same one you currently have. Your ammo should be full again. When you run out, repeat the process. If you can’t do it a second time, it’s good to have 2 of the same class, but that probably won’t happen.

Intel Locations (part 2)

The Juggernaut

A juggernaut is a soldier with A LOT of armor. It has a metal helmet on and is thickly covered with 85% bullet proof armor. A juggernaut will be holding an M240 with a sight attachment. Shoot him in the head. Best Weapons For Killing One: M240, Barrett 50cal, RPG-7. Hope this helps! Enjoy!

My Favorite Classe

This is one of my many masterpieces. This class includes:

primary weapon: RPDprimary weapon attachment: ACOG scopesecondary weapon: spas 12secondary weapon attachment: gripequipent: semtexspecial grenade: stun/flash (which ever you prefere. I prefer flash)perk one: slight of handperk two: stopping powerperk three: steady aimdeath streak: pain killersname: assult RPD

This is the class I like and use the most. I hope its as useful to you as it was to me.

Easy Steady Aim Pro

First what you have to do it use any sub-machine gun until you unlock the akimbo attachment. Then chose the Steady Aim Perk then just use the akimbo sub-machine gun. Soon you will have the Steady Aim Pro unlocked which is great if you are trying to be a sniper, the pro version of Steady Aim is a longer breath hold duration.

Beast Killstreak Rewards Setup

A good killstreak reward setup, I think is probably the Predator Missle, Precision Airstrike, and Harrier Airstrike. I like it because it’s 5, 6, 7. Or with Hardline, 4, 5, 6. One after another. Oh, don’t do the nuke, unless you are really good. Otherwise you’re just wasting a slot. I only do low ones because they’re easy to get. Then, if you die, get the kills easily again and get the killstreaks. I don’t use the Care Package because there’s a good chance it’ll hold a UAV or Counter or even an EMP which I don’t like or care about. Time to kill guys then kill more guys to victory.

Unboxing Prestige Edition

How To Dive

Technically, it’s not diving, but it seems like it. It is a great way to get away from an enemy when theirs blood all over the screen, or get away from a grenade. First, sprint in forward, then, jump while sprinting. When you’re about to hit the ground, hold down the crouch button and when you are hitting the ground, you will go straight down on your stomach to army crawl.

Juggernaut Crotch Pad

In the museum level at the end of the game, kill the juggernaut and look at his crotch pad, it will say “getcha sum :)”.

Good Way To Get Across Map

In highrise when you go under the helicopter go right toward the edge and you should see one of those window washer things you stand on. Drop on it and follow the ledge, sprint to the second window washer double tap “A” and you should should jump in it, look up and double tap “A” again and you’ll be on the other side.

Knifing Skills

Get a riot sheild and whatever gun you want along with a knife and when you and a friend are playing swithch to your gun lay on the ground and when he comes up to shoot you/knife you through a kniife right in is throught (dramatic effect) good luck.

Highrise Hide Out

When you are playing highrise, right when you respawn if you are in th right building when you walk out were the office desks are, turn to the left (or)right you will see a ladder inside the building climb up it, jump on to the hanging platform and yuo can either stay there or kepp walking and there will be a nother platform accros from it jump on it then lie down you will get lots of kills GOOD LUCK!

Long Live The Campers

The best way that I found to camp was find a spot that isn’t to open (so you wont get flanked) and can see where your enemy is coming from. Use claymores to cover any places that the enemy can get in from. If the claymore doesn’t kill them the sound of it should warn you. The class that you should use is and assault rifle, light machine gun, and snipers (only if you’re really good with one). You must attache a heartbeat sensor. The secondary weapon is your choice. The perks should be scavenger, stopping power and commando. The equipment you should use is claymore, stun gernades. My personal choice is scar-h or ak47 w/heartbeat sensor.

Great Camping Spot On Rundown (lots Of Kills)

This is an awesome place to camp I have gottan an EMP in this spot so enjoy it. First if you spawn on the side with the long building that is linked together you go straight from where you spawned and turn to the right there should be a pile of sandbags with a turret behind them. Climb on the boxes and jump to the wall beside the boxes and then jump over the sandbags. Good Luck.

Out Of Spec. Ops Mission

First you pick up the mp5k from the weapons box. Then, take out all 6 men, including the 2 ghillies. From there, there should be 2 cars on top of each other jump onto them and then jump onto the stack of broken cars. From there, jump onto the metal crate, then onto the yellow car, then onto the blue car. Jump outside of the bushes and you’re out of the map. You can explore the buildings and go into them. These buildings are from the COD 4 mission “ALL GHILLIED UP”.

Drunk Russian

On the level that you have to help the BTR by lazering enemies, at the end you will have to go to a house with an airplane crashed into it. As you go in do not go up the stairs, instead turn right and you will see a Russian solder raiding the fridge. When you get close he will turn around all dizzy. NOTE: he only stay’s dizzy for a few seconds then he start’s shooting at you.

Better Fire Rate For Shotguns

NOTE:to do this, you must have the “slight of hand” perk activated, only works with akimbo Model 1887 (maybe regular, haven’t tried it), and Spas 12 (maybe others, only tried those). This hint is good for close range firefights. For a Spas 12, instead of pumping the gun, reload and it will go faster. It takes a little more work, but the gun will allow you to shoot the next bullet faster, then repeat the process. For the Model akimbo, press X (reload) before you twirl the guns on your fingers. With “slight of hand”, reloading will be faster than pumping or twirling. All you need to remember is before you pump the shotgun (s), press X. If you follow those steps, you’ll be blowin’ multiple brains out in no time.

Easy Museum

When you start the level, pick any gun you want because this glitch will work with anything. DO NOT hit the red button. Once you get your gun, start killing all the characters but one (it doesn’t matter which one). When you only have one character left, hit the red button and kill him. He will be the only one that will come at you because you killed the others.

Best Custom Class For Search & Destroy

Primary-ACR SilencedSecondary-M93 Raffica SilencedPrimary Grenade-ClaymoreSecondary Grenade-Concussion Perk 1-Slight of HandPerk 2-Cold BloodedPerk 3-NinjaDeath Streak-Martydom

This class has helped me out alot and I hope it helps you out to!

These are challenges you can earn with any assault rifle. I will use the M4A1 as an example in the guide where the words “asault rifle” should be, although you can earn these challenges with any assault rifle. *Unlocked after prestiging.

Easy Multikill On Wasteland

This is a trick my friend taught me. You need any assault rifle with the grenade launcher attatchment and you need the perk “danger close” on. If you happen to play Domination on Wasteland, choose that class. If you play as Task Force 141, switch to the grenade launcher and line the bottom of the aimer with both objective A, and the power lines hanging above. Shoot the grenade launcher and if there are people there, you should get a multikill. I use it a lot and it works great.

Museum Hiding Place

In the room that you spawn in, at the end of the hallway you should see Gen. Shepherd and Capt. Price in a boat. Pick any two weapons that you like, and head over to the room with the juggernaut in it. Press the button, then run as fast as you can back into the other room. Go all the way to the other side of the room where Price is, go to the back of boat he is in, make sure you are standing in the water, and go prone. You should be able to see through the glass and shoot through it while the people are coming after you. However, they can see you and will try to shoot at you but they can’t shoot through the glass so you will not get hurt. Do not let them get close though because they will shoot over the glass. I hope this works for you.

Noob Tube Weapons

For all you noobs out there (excluding me) the Noob tube weapons and attachments are Scar-H, rifle-mounted grenade launcher, or model 1887 w/ akimbo or fmj.

Thumper On Hornet’s Nest

On the mission “The Hornet’s Nest”, once you get to the intersection before you can see the market, go into the building that is made of red brick, on the bottom floor, in the corner behing the lunch counter, you should find a Thumper grenade launcher. It is the only one I’ve ever found in the game.

A Ghille

A ghille is basiclly a sniper with a good camoflouge. They use grass suits and hide in bushes and in the grass. A ghille is sometimes hard to spot. Be careful.

Help On Rust

On Rust if you go in the little tower in the middle there will be a ladder, climb up the ladder and you have a good sniping spot. You should be aware to put a claymore in the spot where you came up and don’t get shot!

Estate Ceiling

This glitch is simple. Go inside the Estate building. Go upstairs and go ontop of the couch. Run and jump onto the shelf. From there jump up towards the wall. You should be on a ledge. Now that’s the glitch. One time I did the glitch and I got 7 suprise kills. Enjoy!

Easy Nuke On Wasteland

What you will need is a weapon with good firepower and can go long range, (i would prefer putting on a acog) and a Good secondary weapon to get you out of tough situations.

My weapons: Scar-H w/Acog M93 Raffica Akimbo

Preferred Killstreaks for this: Harrier Strike, Pavelow, Tactical Nuke 😉

What you will need to do is run into one of the houses on the left side of the map that are right next to each other and peek around and eliminate anyone in the fields that are running up, and then just camp around the houses until you get a harrier. When you do that put the harrier in the middle by the bunker since EVERYONE goes there. Then once you get your pavelow (because I know you will) Call it and wait. Find a AWESOME hiding spot. Because when I called my harrier I got 13 kills with it, then the pavelow got me 7. So you will most likely get a Nuke. Call it in, Get them Sweet Points. And Do It Again ;).

Hiding Place For Estate

Go in the big house in the middle of the map, go under the staircase, then go all the way to that corner and crouch. You aim between the steps on the staircase and people will walk by you carelessly on your left. ( Best way to come in is from the back where the green house is).

How To Noscope

To noscope its actually pretty easy – all you have to do is put your enemy in the middle of those little four lines then fire it has more accuarcy the closer you get it works best while playing hq.

Faster Quick Scope

Pick a sniper rifle, (perfered intervention or barrett 50 calibur)before you start your match go to your options and go to sensivtivety. Put on high. ( I think if your online you could make a custom sensivtivety which could be very high)Your perks should be sieght of hand pro, stopping power pro, and steady aim pro. Secendary dosent matter (perfed g18 or rafica)throwing knife for gernade and smoke bomb for special gernade. Now get ready to start quick scoping some people.

Quick Scope

When you have any type of sniper rifle, if your clous to somone quickly tap the zoom in button and the fire button right after you press the zoom in button and thats how you quick scope some.

An Easy Way Tto Complete MW2 On Veteran Difficulty

Take your time when going through the game; on veteran this game can become very annoying, but its worth it to get those achievements. At some points in the game there is close quarters fighting and at those points taking your time is when its most important. Don’t let enemies surround you either, sure the allied AI will take some enemies out but they still are stupid let them help you take a target down; use their idiocracy to get out of cover at the worst times to get shot to your advantage. When an allied AI gets out of cover all the enemies shoot at them, thats when YOU take your shots. Also the only way to survive and through is to move up from cover to cover, but be careful where you try to go allies will try to take up some spots so to take use of the best spots play the game on a lower difficulty to analyze the playing area.

Easy Perfectionish Challenge

In order to complete this challenge you need to empty a full sniper rifle clip into your enemies without missing. An easy way to do this is to use the Intervention. It has a small clup making this challenge easier to complete. Just time your shots carefully and you will have this challenge completed in no time and earn yourself some extra experience and a new title.

How To Be A Good Player Online!

1 . If in trouble camp a little bit.

2. Pick good guns-ACR, Scar-H, AK47, or the UMP45 are recommended.

3. Use good snipers-Intervention, or a Barret 50 Caliber.

4. Pick good game modes if you like getting lots of kills I would choose-Domination, or Ground War.

5. If you want lots of points you should play-Demolition, or Head Quarters.

How To Get On Top Of The Sign On Highrise

First, climb that ladder that leads to the top of the little elevator building next to where the bomb is in Search and Destroy. Once you get on top, turn around and you’ll see the sign. Run and jump onto the bars that hold the sign up on the left. Once there, climb on top of the sign.

Another Beast Class

Another class I thought would be good to use is the ACR with the holographic sight and FMJ. For a secondary have the M9 with FMJ and tactical knife. Perks are Bling PRO, Stopping Power regular or PRO, Commando PRO.

How To Get The Fastest Time In Overwatch

First when you start off on the ground are some guns get rid of your assault riffle pick the smallest gun you see It will make you run faster make sure you run with your pistol out. When you get to the edge where the timer starts sprint and count to 5 fast then jump and before you hit the ground make sure you hit the sprint button again keep doing that the whole entire mission make sure you have someone in the ac130 that won’t shoot you and don’t shoot anyone because it will slow you down.

Good Battle Plan On Terminal

This works best in Search and Destroy, so do Search and Destroy. If you get Terminal, be happy. If you are defenders (I think), you start in the back of the map, break the huge panel of glass to the right, go up the escalator, and kill any resistance by Burger Town. Go down the area to the left. Make sure you do all of the steps as fast as you can. You should see some guys around by the red desk and by the thing that leads to the plane. Kill them. They are waiting for people to come outta the plane. I got a headshot on a dude snipin’ by the back desk, because he wasn’t EXPECTING YOU. Then two more kills. One by the desk and one in the plane tube thing. That’s 2, 050 XP in 12 seconds. (The extra 50 because 1 was a longshot).

Contigency With Ease

When Your On the “Perfect Ledge” With captain price right after the predator drone is available use the AMG missile to destroy the BTR before it can get a shot off. Now the predator drone will be available the whole time no need to wait for another one. Use the AMGs to weaken the force near you. Proceed till you see a line of enemy coming between narrow path. Kill them! Dont Go Any Further from there you will see the forces on the other side of that path. Use the AMGs to destroy all them don’t proceed till there is no red square on the predators Camera. Therefore they wont see you so it wont alert them. Now the only people left is the people in side the buildings. There is no time to get to the sub take as long as you want.

Best Way To Get A NUKE

A good way to get a nuke is to have this killstreak setup:

*Harrier Airstrike*Chopper Gunner or AC130*Tactical Nuke

First, a good place to be to do this is in Rundown because it has a lot of small buildings and places to hide in. Try to get to Rundown, and find a small building. Stay in the building and wait for dudes to walk by so you can kill them. Use a Scar-H, some shotgun, and any grenades. Perks are Scavenger so you don’t run outta ammo, Stopping Power, and Commando. Once you get the Harrier, use it, and the bombs will get 1 or 2 kills. Then, you should have around 9 kills. The harrier will get you 5 to 9 or 10 kills. Now you have about 19 kills. Once you get the Chopper Gunner (if you need it), use it. Then, you will probably have a NUKE.

Getting The Nuke Easier

When you get to a map you should get to a building by b until you get your harrier or attack helicopter. When you get that you should move to another place until you get your chopper gunner, AC130, or pave low. Then you should get kills with that up to your Tatical Nuke then you will be Ending the game with a BANG! Weapons to use:

ACR:Silenced

Scar:Silenced

Or Other Weapons

Perks to use:

Scavenger

Stopping power

Any you want I prefer: Ninja

Beast Class Part 5

Take a riot shield and a throwing knife because when a dude’s shooting you, they’ll have to reload. When he reloads, chuck the knife into his throat. (I said throat to add dramatic effect. ) Probably take a machine pistol because that’s kinda like a machine gun. Also, take stuns or smokes, and you can chuck stuns really fast.

Tip In Domination On Highrise

When playing, the place underground is the best because everyone is on the top and some guys try to go underground and you will kill them ( this is when your defending ).

Tip For A Sniper

The tip is mainly for Search and Destroy modes and it is if you have, say a Barret 50 and a Model 1887. When you’re the last one alive, it’s good to pick up and exchange your shotgun, pistol, or so on for a AMG, SMG, or LMG because a pisol ain’t gonna do ya any good against 6 other guys. I hate it when snipers are the last ones alive because chances are, they will die because they don’t have a good close range weapon. So, if you’re a sniper and love sniper rifles, use a machine gun instead of a pistol. Time for snipers to use a machine gun to victory.

Beast Class Setup Part 4

Another beast class setup I think, is if you’re a sniper, use the EBR, the last one you unlock at level 56. Use that because it is good at close range, too. You can shoot it really fast and the the gun doesn’t move and fly around like the Barret 50 cal which shoots stupidly fast. About 1-3 shots and you got a kill. Enough about the EBR. Secondary should be the M93 Raffica because it is like an M16. 3 round bursts. Depending on where you shoot the dude, about 1 burst will do it. Take a tactical insertion so if you find an awesome place, you can go there again. Also take some stuns. Time to snipe your way to victory. (Any perks will work).

Shortcut On Terminal

The shortcut on Terminal map in multiplayer is where you walk down that walkway next to the long row of glass. Break the glass then jump onto the ground next to that building that stairs takes you to. To get on top of the building, you usually have to climb that ladder where the terrorist massacrehappened. Just jump on the box on the far right of the platform you are on and look up. Press A/X (Xbox and PS3) twice and you will be on the building.

Easy Way To Get Good Kill Death Ratio And Level Up On Xbox Live

First get on a team deathmatch on the afghan map, use a class with a good machine gun, go to the mountain of boulders, go onto the side that you can see a path, go behind the rocks on the path and lie down, move out to where you can see the path not the rocks, and when you see people run down the path shoot them a couple times and just wait for more to come and U will get killstreak rewards to kill more of your enemies and lead Ur team to victory!

Easy Way To Get A Record Time On Sniper Fi On Spec Ops And Three Stars On It

To get the three stars on sniper fi and get record time you need to have at least two players ( I don’t know how many people you can have to play on it). To get the record time get the heartbeat sensor machine gun, let your teammate who’s the most violent and who is like a pyro or a crazy person A.K.A a nut get the predator missiles and the claymores, have him/her plant two right in front of the ramp (spacing them a couple feet) and all the way up it and one or two right in front of the ladder, stay behind the boxes on the sides, and don’t waist your sniper ammo ( I forgot to say don’t get rid of your snipers) , and if you can’t find the last couple guys don’t spray your machine gun bullets trying to hit them, just wait for your predator and blow them up, and before you just go and blow everything up warn your teammates so you don’t blow them up, and never be standing, always be crouching ( unless it’s the end of the wave or running to get ammo or to get your teammate (s) but don’t stay up) and always stay on top unless planting the claymores or getting more from down at the back were you can get a shotgun or an AK ( I don’t recommend getting them though and always be vigilant, that means always pay attention to Ur surroundings and Ur enemies position and movement and actions, and the only time you can waist ammo is at the end of your wave and that’s shooting a tanker so it will blow up during the upcoming wave to get some more kills and be careful about the guys on the roof of the building right in front of yous and the guys right in front of your building that are behind the storage crates and instead of shooting them with your sniper, use your machine gun when they’re at close range and never be close to the edge where it is open, and a good place to hide there is on top of the left side crates. To get up there you have to go on the railing in front and to the side of them and jump on top of them and lay down, they are to stupid that it takes them thousands of shots on you to actually hit you a couple times. This applies to veteran to but you probably shouldn’t go on the boxes on veteran. ( and please remember, DO NOT S T A N D U P! ).

Beast Class Part 3

In Beast Class Part 1, I said to have the ACR with the silencer and red dot. I found out that you should have this.

ACR: FMJ, silenced

M10 shot gun: any attachment (s)

The Perks you need are Bling or Bling Pro, the one that makes the bullets are more powerful (first one in the second perks)and Commando Pro.

The ACR isn’t a powerful gun, but with FMJ and the other perk I can’t remember that makes the weapon more powerful, the ACR is a realy great gun. Incredible accuracy, now has good power, great range, great fire rate, and good mobility. Get ready to ACR people to victory.

Beast Class Part 2

A good primary weapon to have is a Scar-H with red dot and the undermounted shotgun. A secondary you should have is the M9 with FMJ and tacticle knife because if you run out of ammo with the Scar, which happens fast, you can have a backup weapon. Also, you will have a shotgun, pistol, and machine gun. The Scar-H is very powerful and very accurate. The M9 shoots fast and is accurate. Carry claymores and stun grenades. The claymore will blow up the enemy and is good for protecting bombs. The stun grenades can stun the enemy so you can easily kill ’em. Surprising, right. Use Bling Pro, Hardline, and Commando Pro. Time to kill your way to victory.

Beast Class Part 1

A good class to have is for a primary, is an ACR with silencer and red dot sight or holographic. The ACR is extremely accurate and is pretty long range even with a silencer. Also, an M1 shotgun with red dot because it has a good fire rate and beastly powerfulness. Carry a semtex just in case you encounter a dude with a riot shield a so you can easily stick ’em. You should also have a smoke grenade so you can run past open areas without the baddies seein’ you. Perks you need are Bling or Bling Pro. If you haven’t unlocked 2 attachments for the ACR, you Slight of Hand Pro. Then use Hardline, so it’s easier to get killstreaks, and Commando Pro. Get ready to use this class to murder the bad guys. Happy killin’ cheaters and kill your way to victory.

Great Place To Put A Sentry Gun On Terminal

A great place to put as sentry gun on Terminal is in that space in the back of plane where the bombs are. (Blow the bombs up first). It’ll be hard to knife it before it wedges 100 bullets per second into the enemy’s flesh. That sentry gun will kill the enemy to your victory.

How To Level Up Fast With This Class.

A good way to level up fast on Xbox Live is to do search and destroy because when you kill a guy, you get 500 XP. When you get a headshot, you get 1000 XP. For planting or defusing bombs, you get 1000 XP. I recommend having an M16A4 because that’s a good long range weapon, and a machine pistol or akimbo Model or Rangers. Those are clode range. Perks you should have are Bling Pro, Hardline, and Commando Pro. But, you need to be a beast player, because when you die, you don’t come back till’ the next round, and you might end up being alone against 6 other players. Here’s to sum up.

Kill: 500Headshot:1000Assist:200Distraction:400Bomb Plant: 1000Bomb Defuse:1000M16A4Shotgun-akimbo or machine pistolBling proHardlineCommando pro

There you go and search then destroy your way to victory.

Good Class 1

M1A1 w/agog scope spaz 12 w/silencer marathon pro hardline pro sit rep pro final stand.

Creepy Russian

On the mission “the Gulag” at the end when you find Price you’ll have to run through the collapsing building. At the part when the tunnel collapses and you have to turn around keep going strait and he will show up, he is hurt and he will not shoot, but he’s still creepy.

Another Beast Sniping Spot On Highrise

When you start out in the game, depending what side you are on, when walk out the walkway leading to the office, you will see a yellow ladder. Usually you can’t climb those kinds of ladders, but here you can. Climb the ladder, and in front of you above the front desk, is a little sealing platform. When you get to the top jump on to the platform, crouch or crawl, and snipe your way to victory.

Skidrow Xbox Live Hiding Spot

When you’re at the forklift room the two forklifts that are put together but have a gap in between, crouch and walk into them and stand up look over the seat and shoot and if you think someone has caught on crouch down and look towards the building right across.

Hiding Places

On Xbox Live hide along hedges or in the grass by laying down. Hide behind cars, boxes, and any object that covers you and the enemy will go right by. Just put the cross hairs on him.

Handguns

The best handguns to use is the usp. 45 and the magnum because “the usp has more shots and its range is really good and the magnum has good damage and range and both weapons is good with the tactical knife”.

Great Class Part 2

Another great class I figured out is to use the Scar-H w/grenade launcher and acog scope and the akimbo models w/fmj because you can kill enemies from a distance with the grenade launcher and from close range with the models. The best perks to use with this class is bling pro, lightweight pro, and scrambler pro. Another thing I figured out with the models is that from mid range, 7 out of 10 times you shoot you will kill your foe because the models have a 8 bullet spread.

Easy Colonel Sanderson Achievement

In the mission Hornets Nest in Act 3 near the end of the level you might see six cages of chickens near a wall. All you have to do is throw a grenade at it aim at another cage with a chicken and after the grenade explodes shoot the chicken you are aiming at. You might get the achievement, if not, try again.

Great Class Setup Part1

A great class I figured out was in any map you should use a rod or m240 and a magnum. These are the two strongest classes I think would help eliminate enemy playersRpd w/magnum bling, hardline, scramblerM240 w/desert eagle marathon, featherweight, scrambler.

Hiding Hints

Hide in a building of some sort really good 9 out of 10 times someone will come then come out there will probably be another guy coming so take him out run in the direction the other guy went to 5 out of 10 times he will be close so be careful shoot the guy and keep on doing that after you get tired of doing that shoot a guy in the head if there is a guy following him you will get an achievement the hint may very on any mode.

Model 1887

In Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 in the mission takedownwhen you go throw the red house were you have to fine Rojasthe front door a guy will try and hit you with his gun and he has the model 1887 shotgun.

Museum Steal

When you beat the whole game go to the museum mission, and you will have a handgun. Go to any of the museum exhibits and just shoot any person (don’t worry they wont shoot back) and take there gun. You can use that gun against them (hit the red button at the desk but the exhibits will come alive and with the weapon you took).

Museum Button

When you beat the whole game, go to the museum. When you just start the mission go straight ahead to the desk. There will be a round red thing. Go too it. It will say do not press. Hold x down and then everyone that was a statue will now start killing you. The only way to survive is too go into another exhibit or try killing. I tried killing them and survived! Hope you can too!

A Juggernaut

A juggernaut is an enemy that has a lot of armor and a medal white head, you will encounter him on the mission The Enemy of my Enemy, usually after you jump of the plane and slide off the mountain, the juggernaut is really difficult to kill if you are not using high caliber weapons and a much easier way is to throw grenades at him. Oh you should also try head shots.

How To Get Two Attachments On A Gun

To get two attachments you need to level up to level 21, then go to create a class and choose Bling under perk 1. It will pop up with attachments for your primary gun (or if bling is upgraded both primary and secondary). All you need to do then is choose your two attachments.

Museum Mission

After completing the game it’s time to have some real fun. Go to the single player missions and select the “Museum” mission. After you check out the layout, grab 2 weapons and make sure to top off the ammunition from the crates around you. You will see some rooms (3 in total), outside the rooms are desks by the entrance with red bells on them marked “Don’t Press” (which of course your going to press. Lol) DON’T shoot anyone before pressing the button! Of the 3 rooms only 2 will see action. Once you press the red bell button every imaginable game character will come out to attack you. Choose a difficulty level and action will be seen one room at a time. Keep killing the enemy until you hear a sound, that will mark the end of the current wave of action. You must complete 2 waves of kills (approx 30 people each) to complete this level.

WA2000 Easter Egg

With the regular scope on the WA2000, look on the little cap on the side of the scoop when not looking through it and the AFK Accolade sign (the Green, Sick Looking smiley face) will be on the cap.

Glitches

Grandma Glitch

First go to underpass then go to the bridge then go to the left you will see a house make sure you have a pistol shoot the door once in the top left corner of the door, then twice in the top right corner, then three times in th bottom left side, then in the bottom right hand corner shoot it four times, finally shoot it a whole bunch in the middle, then a grandma will come out say something go back inside and come back out with a machine and kills you! Anywhere you go she still kills you (This won’t work online)ENJOY! Please comment.

ColdBlooded Pro Glitch

First make a class with a LMG or light machine gun then put on scavenger or extended mags. When you see a helicopter or pave low come into the game, DO NOT I repeat DO NOT shoot it with a one hit kill bazooka – shoot it down with your LMG. It will start to spin in flames, and after it starts spinning shoot it with as many bullets as you can. Every bullet than you put into it counts as a different helicopter: Enjoy!

Museum Glitch

You have to beat the game in order to get the museum, but once you do go to the very last room and at the end you will see a bunch of people one of them is in a big suit so go next to the and they should start moving and the guy in the bigh suit punches they guy next to him, so when they all freeze throw a grenade at the guy who got beat up (but you have to actually hit him with it like go up to him and hit him with it), once you do that he should fly up in the air all wild. Have fun.

Glitch On The Mission Whiskey Hotel

First, you have to be on Act 3. Go to the mission whiskey hotel. Then when you’re a quarter through the mission there’s three guys that wont see you. Sgt. Foley or Cpl. Dun will say do not fire on enemy personnel. Right when they say it, you kill all three of them. Then, go straight ahead and there will be some other enemies. You kill them before your teammates get to you. Then keep going straight ahead and forget your team for about the whole mission. Then kill all of the bad guys you see. Finally, this will allow you to glitch on the mission whiskey hotel. (Glitch means like you can go 1,000 meters in the air).

Ghost Museum Glitch

When you unlock the museum, go into the first exhibit room and go over to where Ghost and Captain McTavish are in the favela. Kill everyone but Ghost. Stand next to the red barrel and he should talk through the radio for about 3 minutes. Then, if you’re standing on the right side of the barrel, he should point in your direction.

Sgt. Foley Museum Glitch

To unlock the museum you have to complete the campaign on any difficulty. When you start the mission, go into the first room you see. Turn to the left and go to the next exhibit and kill everyone but Sgt. Foley. Stand there and watch him for a few seconds and then he should walk out of the exhibit, look at you, and he looks like he’s talking to you but the noise isnt coming through. After he is done talking, he should turn around and try to walk through the wall for some reason. I think its kind of funny and I hope you do too.

Highrise Glitch 1

To go out of radar and map surveillance go to the side of the building with all of the cranes, then you will see a small building with two elevators, go to the left side of the little building where you will see a ladder, climb up it, you will see a plat form right to your left, jump on to it then walk up to the crane and jump onto it, then go all the way to the left and jump on either one of the railings, finally walk up the thin railing going diagonally up and stand on the square in the middle of the crane now nobody can detect you.

A Glitch For Whiskey Hotel

When you go into the West Wing the hallway beyond that there is a glass door right before you go into the presidents speech area, you break all the glass that’s breakable. You then crouch down and you can pass right through the door. The next thing with the glitch is the tall hedge before the fire on the pillar. Then the barbed wire, and that’s as far as you can go.

Spec Ops Glitch On Terminal

The mission starts downstairs and will work on any difficulty. Take out all the starting bad guys on the ground floor and the ones that run to you from upstairs. As you go up the escalator stay on the outside rail NOT the middle of the stairs, jump over the rail at the top. Surprise! NO bad guys at all! Resupply yourself with ammo and claymores if needed. As you get to the other side where the down escalators are then the buy guys come back in force. This takes out 10-15 bad guys and makes the mission easier. Enjoy!

The following blog post, unless otherwise noted, was written by a member of Gamasutra’s community. The thoughts and opinions expressed are those of the writer and not Gamasutra or its parent company.

[Video Game Deep Cuts is a weekly newsletter from curator/video game industry veteran Simon Carless, rounding up the best longread & standout articles & videos about games, every weekend. This week's highlights include the magic of The Void, John Romero on the TEd tool, Hyper Light Drifter's charm, & much more.

We're here! GDC 2017 kicks off first thing on Monday here in San Francisco, and whoa, there's still lots to do, so I'll keep it brief. Oh, one useful thing - ex Game Developer magazine EIC (& excellent indie dev!) Brandon Sheffield made a super helpful post about all the cool stuff you can see with an Expo Pass at GDC this year - and if you have a bigger pass, you can see all the listed things too!

Whether at GDC or not, have fun this week, and I'll be back next weekend with an all-GDC Video Game Deep Cuts.

- Simon, curator.]

-------------------

Why Ever Stop Playing Video Games? (Frank Guan / New York Magazine) "Like so many others, I played video games, often to excess, and had done so eagerly since childhood, to the point where the games we played became, necessarily, reflections of our being. To the uninitiated, the figures are nothing if not staggering: 155 million Americans play video games, more than the number who voted in November’s presidential election."

All work and no play (Simon Parkin / Eurogamer) "Few video game protagonists keep to strict working hours, and how could they? When there's a war to win, a world to save, a lover's heart to ensnare and all the other grand and arduous problems that a game designer asks us to solve, it would be practically irresponsible to clock off a five for a pint of lager, a packet of crisps and a prestige TV box set."

The Dark Souls of News Journalism (Mega64 / YouTube) "If you don't understand this video, you really need to practice and get better at it. [SIMON'S NOTE: This is the Dark Souls of videos that mention Dark Souls.]"

The Video Game Industry Is Afraid of Unions (Emmanuel Maiberg / Motherboard / Vice) "On November 17 of last year, 450 members of the SAG-AFTRA union picketed developer Insomniac Games in Burbank, California. Some of the faces marching up and down the street with signs in hand were familiar, like Clancy Brown, who played Sgt. Zim in the movie Starship Troopers, but who, on that day, stood up for his rights as a voice actor in popular video games like Call of Duty, God of War, and many others."

"Make it Biblical:" How Vagrant Story Changed Game Localization (John Learned / USGamer) "Released that May in North America, Vagrant Story was a significant step forward for English localization... I recently had the opportunity to interview localization editor Richard Amtower and famous translator Alexander O. Smith over email on their breakthrough early work in the field and to reflect on the rise of localization as a craft that truly mattered."

It's time for cyberpunk games to remember how to be punk (Jody Macgregor / PC Gamer) "While most of the games in the genre that followed [Neuromancer & Syndicate] explored spaces somewhere in between those two extremes, there's been a tendency for them to focus on the high-tech and not the low-life. They get the cyber, but not the punk."

The Magic of the First Legend of Zelda (Mark Brown / Game Maker's Toolkit / YouTube) "The next Zelda game, Breath of the Wild, is said to be inspired by the very first game in the series. Let's revisit that seminal game, to see how Nintendo made such an intoxicating adventure."

How fantastical Atari box art taught the world what makes video games special (Nick Wanserski / AV Club) "Atari 2600 box art is well loved and rightly revered. Some of that can be chalked up to nostalgia for a system that was released in the first years of the Carter administration, but there’s no shortage of collectors who appreciate the amount of thought and technical accomplishment that went into crafting the identity of an emerging entertainment form."

What It Takes To Run A Fighting Game Tournament (Suriel Vazquez / Game Informer) "Without people like Rick Thiher, eSports tournaments would be chaos. Major events require hundreds of man-hours, months of planning, and the ability to manage dozens of moving parts deftly. Thiher runs Combo Breaker, one of the largest tournaments for fighting games throughout the year, and as attendees and players tell it, it’s a well oiled machine."

Virtual Reality’s Potential for Magic Gets Real (Brooks Barnes / New York Times) "In an ordinary office complex here, past stacked cartons of Mountain Dew and a throng of hoodie-wearing employees, sits a prototype for an attraction that Hollywood thinks will become the next entertainment craze — an offering that could mint money for its developers, throw a lifeline to struggling shopping malls and, at long last, jump-start sales of virtual reality gear."

World of Warcraft's gold rush has upended Blizzard’s economy (Daniel Friedman / Polygon) "There has been an economic panic in World of Warcraft. On Feb. 6, Blizzard changed the rules, allowing players to exchange WoW Tokens for Battle.net balance. That means that gold you earn or buy in World of Warcraft can now be used in any Blizzard property."

We tried IMAX VR, and it left us excited as hell (and weak in the knees) (Ryan Waniata / Digital Trends) "Suddenly, I’m propelled around a spiraling chute hundreds of feet above an arctic landscape before diving into a glittering river, through frosted ice caves... This isn’t Disney’s latest Star Tours ride, and it’s not exactly an arcade game, either. It’s part of an all-new take on VR from cinema magnate IMAX (that’s right, IMAX) called The IMAX VR Experience Centre."

Hyper Light Drifter: The Best Game Ever (Cool Ghosts / YouTube) "[SIMON'S NOTE: Another wonderfully deep analysis - as a YouTube commenter notes: 'So we get a "spoilers" warning but not a "this next bit will make you reflect back on your past, wasted opportunities, reflect on your future, inevitable demise and then cry inside" warning? Yeah cheers, Matt ;)'.]

The three reasons YouTubers keep imploding, from a YouTuber (Michael Sawyer / Polygon) "Allow me to extrapolate on a meme those kids today are using: “Dude, you had one job. And it looked like a really easy one.” Let’s Players, streamers or content creators, whatever you like, get to play video games and make jokes while doing so. It seems like a dream gig, so why even risk these sort of gaffes?"

Q&A With Eugene Jarvis: Cruis’n Blast And The Modern Arcade Industry (Arcade Heroes) "The last time we talked with Eugene Jarvis, CEO of Raw Thrills, it was about Jurassic Park. Fast forward to today and his company is busier than ever, pumping out Space Invaders Frenzy, The Walking Dead, Cruis’n Blast along with some other titles in development."

Meet The Woman Raising Japan’s Next Generation Of Street Fighter Champions (Cecilia D'Anastasio / Kotaku) "When I called Street Fighter pro Yuko “Chocoblanka” Momochi at 11 a.m. Japan time, her husband, the legendary Street Fighter champion Yusuke Momochi, was asleep. The husband-wife team, both Street Fighter players, had recently launched a school to train promising Japanese competitors."

Classic Tools Retrospective: John Romero talks about creating TEd, the tile editor that shipped over 30 games (David Lightbown / Gamasutra) "In recent years, retrospectives of classic games have been well received at GDC, but there have been very few stories about classic game tools... For the first article of this series, I have the great pleasure of speaking with John Romero about TEd, the tile editor that he created at id Software, which went on to ship 33 games."

VA-11 Hall-A is Not About Bartending, it's About Your Life (Jake Juliett / Field Notes For Play / YouTube) "Thusly, I enjoy VA-11 Hall-A for the thing it is - a story about living well in modern society. I also mention the woeful lack of analysis about the story."

Playing With Toys While People are Dying (Paul Kilduff-Taylor / Medium) "The work of video game developers distracts the world from problems which desperately need solutions. The culture this feeds is fundamentally depraved, the financial outcomes are random and, ultimately, nothing of worth is produced."

Rod Humble and Erica Gangsei in Conversation (Erica Gangsei / SFMOMA) "In this interview, Erica Gangsei, SFMOMA’s head of interpretive media and creator of the PlaySFMOMA initiative, talks with Humble about his personal and professional projects, and his aspirations for games and gaming."

Todd Howard Discusses Open World Multiplayer, Juggling Seven Projects, And His Hall Of Fame Induction (Matt Bertz / Game Informer) "On the eve of his induction into the AIAS Hall of Fame, we sat down with Howard to discuss his legacy, his plans for the future, and his noble crusade to get EA Sports to resurrect the NCAA Football franchise."

The future of Final Fantasy 15 (Jeremy Parish / Polygon) "That forward-looking attitude continues to guide Tabata's vision for Final Fantasy 15, as the company considers a new model for the franchise: Life for a single-playing story-based game beyond its initial release."
