Warframe Bullet Jump Guide – How to Get Around Quickly

The New Twilight Zone Premiere Is Hard to Watch (Sometimes in a Good Way)
The Twilight Zone is back, under the leadership of Get Out and Us writer–director Jordan Peele. The series’ premiere episode actually takes us back to the showrunner’s comedy roots — which isn’t to say “The Comedian” is a very funny episode. If anything, it’s downright hard to watch. Real-world comic Kumail Nanjiani plays…

Dragon Rot Cure Guide: How to Receive Unseen Aid in Sekiro
Dragon Rot is tricky stuff. The nasty affliction can severely impact your progress in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. That’s because it lowers your Unseen Aid (the chance that you won’t lose gold and XP when you die). Dragon Rot is also incredibly scary, at first, since you have no idea…

D’Vorah Guide: Mortal Kombat 11 Character Strengths, Weaknesses, Tips
Mortal Kombat 11 is… Well, it’s gross. Fatalities have never looked this silly or absolutely disgusting. And basically no other character in the history of the series is as absolutely sickening as D’Vorah.

Sekiro Boss Guide: Tips on How to Beat Lady Butterfly
Sekiro doesn’t actually feature as many full-on boss battles as other From Software games. Unlike Dark Souls and Bloodborne, it uses these moments to punctuate major story beats, while the world itself is littered with deadly mini-bosses. But that just makes each “real” battle all the more iconic. And few…

Sekiro Boss Guide: Tips on How to Beat Juzou the Drunkard
Many of the most stressful battles in Sekiro aren’t actually boss fights. They’re more like mini-bosses with their own special set of rules.
