Streaming Netflix is one thing, but having to both stream the game and relay your gamepad input requires speeds that simply weren’t available just a few short years ago. Today, however, most households can easily (and successfully) game through the cloud. Cloud gaming might be the future, but there are plenty of factors to consider before signing up for one or more of these services. For one, you’ll need to ensure you have a reliable connection wherever you plan to game....

There are plenty of villains in video gaming that share many similarities with the Grinch, even physical ones. In this article, we want to remember the five grinchiest characters in video games. We are excluding The Grinch from this list (he has his own video game), because it would be, you know, kind of cheating. Wario Wario is the real anti-Mario, not Bowser. He is everything Mario is not: selfish, evil, narcissistic, and even fatter....

Perhaps naturally, most of Terraria’s coolest-looking weapons have to be obtained in hardmode. Several of the new endgame weapons brought about by the 1.2 and 1.3 patches have some really cool effects and if you’re not a boss farming machine, you may miss them entirely. Below are some of the coolest weapons you can find in Terraria 1.3. Your and my definitions of “cool” may be different, but I think we can all agree these are some definite improvements over the more dull weapon designs and effects seen pre-1....

The beauty of technology isn’t just doing more stuff–it’s doing stuff quickly. Whether you want to call a specific contact with one tap, keep your phone unlocked when you’re at home or work, launch the camera in a flash to quickly capture the perfect moment, or search for an app while in a rush, here are some of the best shortcuts built into Android that you’re probably not using....

If you were a person of culture (like me of course) that character was Gimli. In fact, after sitting down and thinking about it for a moment, a lot of my favorite characters have one thing in common. Axes! In Dark Souls 2, axes sit somewhere in between swords and hammers as far as speed, damage, and range goes. So whether you want to cosplay a bloodletting lumberjack, or just like wooden sticks with sharp edges, let’s find out which one is the best to hack and slash your way to the top....

While each game has their own cars this is one that really stands out. Especially since San Andreas was one of the biggest games when it hit the PS2 back in 2004. There are so many cars to go through and this is definitely a tough pick given so many shapes, sizes, and snazzy paint jobs. But here’s my list of the best cars you can steal playing GTA: San Andreas....

Pelican Town is a charming little village with lots to offer in terms of aesthetic- often being quoted as ‘cottagecore’, however this’s not quite right. Say it with me: not all rural settings are automatically cottagecore. It’s farmcore, buddy. That said, cottagecore is popular for a reason. And with the Internet, there’s plenty of mods to tip that rural scale to the cottagey sides of things. Without further ado, here’s a bunch of mods to cutesy up your game!...

And apparently that question blew people’s minds with that level of innovative genius. Halberds are basically longer versions of other weapons, often sacrificing speed for a bigger reach and power. And that remains true in Dark Souls 2 as well. They also suffer from the same “Sweetspot” curse as the reapers, meaning that if you don’t hit your target with the blade part of the weapon, you’ll do reduced damage (though the penalty isn’t as harsh), so keep that in mind....

If you know where you’re looking, however, there are plenty of great options. The easiest way to find a good iPhone SE case is to stick with long-standing manufacturers such as ZAGG, Spigen, and OtterBox. These companies have been producing high-quality cases for years, and you can be certain that their lineup of iPhone SE cases is built to the same standards. You’ll also want to consider how much protection you need for your new iPhone....

Coverage One of the first things to look for in a mesh router is coverage, as you’re likely upgrading because your single router can’t send Wi-Fi throughout your home. Every manufacturer mentions a range that its mesh router can cover. While this range represents a best-case scenario and likely won’t have quite that far of a reach, it can give you a decent idea about what to expect. If you’re unsure about the coverage, you can always start with a two-pack mesh networking kit and add more nodes if needed....

I was afraid that schoolmates, peers, and strangers alike would ridicule my face for being covered by two pieces of harnessed glass connected by a thin frame. After getting glasses, I realized that not only did no one make fun of me, but glasses look great. Sunglasses and glasses sans sun have both form and function. Now after many years of glasses-loving, I’ve taken it upon myself to bring this style of spectacles into my favorite pixelated world, with a whole bunch of customized character skins....

Thankfully, PC gaming is much more controller-friendly these days. Now you can plug any modern controller into your computer via USB and it will likely work instantly. With so many options available though, which controller is right for you? There are a few factors to consider when thinking about buying a PC controller. First and foremost, what are you planning to play? Some games just aren’t suited to a mouse and keyboard....

Your level of experience with photography lighting is another factor to consider. If you’re just starting out, avoid dropping thousands on a massive kit—you’d be better served to buy something simpler while you learn the basics. You can always upgrade later, and too much gear can be so overwhelming you never end up using it to its fullest potential. Whether you shoot stills, video, or both are also important. Strobes will work great for still photography, but you’ll need a continuous light if you’re looking to shoot video....

Swords boast some of the most versatile weapon skills in the game, which makes sense, given how popular they are. While there are always different situations to consider that might make even lower-numbered weapon skills in this list take a lead, there’s a relative power ratio that often means the higher ranked ones are just more likely to be used in battle. 5. Sanguine Blade Sanguine blade is one of the very few weapon skills in the game that’s capable of draining HP, making it fantastic for a quick way to instantly restore HP while take some from your enemy....
