RISK OF RAIN - Beatboxingcat

Hey! I recently got Risk of Rain as a gift from my friend ,but enough about me lets talk about the game. (this post is going to be a long one)


So maybe some of you are wondering what Risk of Rain is and maybe some of you already know what it is, but for the people who don't know what it is, i'll tell ya. Risk of Rain is a rogue type game where if you die you have to start all over again (So basically, don't die ;D). The game also has a Binding of Issac feel to it because of the items you can get/stack onto each other, but we will get into that later. *SIDE NOTE* the controls are very different than most games (no really they are....) so basically you move by the arrow keys instead of the WASD buttons, to jump you use the space button, and to use your abilities or skills you use the ZXCV buttons.

Also you may be wondering what the objective of the game is, well to put it simply you have to find a teleporter to the next level, but I would recommend to not do that because once you activate it, you have to fight a boss ( I learned that the hard way). What I personally recommend for you to do is to wait until your character gets to level 7-9 before setting out to find the teleporter and fighting the first boss. *SIDE NOTE* I am pretty sure that each bosses are randomly chosen for each level and by beating a boss you will unlock a different character. There are currently 12 characters in the game.

Now let us talk about how to get items and such. When you kill a creature or a enemy (whatever you want to call them) you get gold or coins, (again call it what ever you want to) by getting enough coins you can open chest's, summon creatures from statues (you get a reward by killing all the creatures that you summoned), and finding a shop where you can purchase items. One thing about the chests is that there are different types of chests and depending on which one you unlock you will get a certain rarity of a item (you can see the different types here). Now onto the stacking of a item, if you have more than one item they can stack onto each other and grant you a increase of the buff of the item that is currently being stacked. (example here)

One last thing is that as you progress through the levels the enemy's become tougher (obviously), but you also have a timer telling you how tough the enemy's in the level are. As the time of how long you spend in each level increases, the creatures start to become harder to kill, so basically you want to complete the level by not spending to much time, but also not completing the level so fast that you will be under leveled and be completely destroyed in the next level. (I also learned that the hard way)

Now this concludes all that "I" know of Risk of Rain. Here is the offical website and Here is the Steam store for Risk of Rain, if you have steam of course.

Mortal Kombat X Progress has been made -Dorwulf

Hey all, I have been playing a lot more Mortal Kombat X lately and have been streaming at random intervals! This is why I keep saying to follow my twitch. CLICK HERE TO FOLLOW MY TWITCH (skip ad button top right). I have been practicing my Scorpion and I have gotten adequate training in pulling off the BASIC COMBOS listed on the Moves list. Now it's time for the advanced chain combos that all the pros do.

The best way to learn is to "watch other pros" but they input commands so fast and you just can't keep up with the spectacle that is happening. The best way is to LOOK at the combos, meaning the button presses. Read the combos and go into practice and try to pull it off yourself.

Front Punch = 1
Back Punch = 2
Front Kick = 3
Back Kick = 4

Kombo 1. - F+2, F+2, (1 hit) Spear, J2, J4, Teleport, 2,1,4, Teleport.

Kombo 2. - J2, 1,2,3, Teleport, B+2, (Walk Slightly Forward) 2,1,4, EX Teleport, Run Cancel, 2, 1, Spear, B+3, 2, F+2

Scorpion has 3 different variations. Inferno, Hellfire, and Ninjutsu. In the pro community, Inferno is the best. Me personally, I'm never going to reach pro anyway, so I am going to stick to the Variation I like to play: Ninjutsu. It has many sword combos that are pretty easy to pull off, however, I may be going to try to practice inferno eventually.

After I get Scorpion down, the plan is to learn my second character. Any thoughts on who it should be? Let me know.

Here is an in depth tutorial video about MKX Combat. If you are interested in the game, I suggest watching this to understand the concept of the game.


Thanks guys for reading.

I'm Sorry..... - Beatboxingcat

A emotional, but yet true video Dorwulf sent me over the weekend. (I was having a good weekend until he showed me this video. Also I know this is nothing gaming related, but I thought I would want to share it with you guys)

Yu Gi Oh Best battle ever! -Popkinkajou5

Mortal Kombat X and its fun- Dorwulf

I have had a few weeks of Mortal Kombat X in my bloodstream now, so I believe I can talk about it without causing harm. This fighting game is the most fluid fighting game I have played. The fatalities are brutal and fun, and so far only was able to pull off one Brutality (oh well) but I'll be able to naturally pull them off eventually I hope. The story was pretty nice and I will be going through it again to see if I can beat it on a higher difficulty.

The Character I mostly play is Scorpion. Yes I know, everyone plays scorpion. But he is the first character I chose to practice with because I had a preorder skin for Scorpion, The Kold War skin.

I play the variant called "Ninjutsu". it is a stance where Scorpion uses twin swords with his regular combos. I typically use this version so that I have more combos I can pull off because I literally follow the combo guide on the Moves list.

I do not have my own combos created yet, I believe I am not even pro enough to even do that in the first place. Oh well. 

The game is a strong contender for game of the year so far. I mean, there is the Witcher 3 coming out, so who knows what'll happen right? Also Battlefront.

Are you tired of League of Legends?!?! -Popkinkajou5

Okay one thing first: I've never played League of Legends or Dota 2 because it's hard to learn. I'm a "fucking casual git gud fgt" guy that everyone points at. BUT I FOUND THE MOBA GAME FOR THE CASUAL ME!!! It's called STRIFE. Click Here. It's basically the casual man's MOBA where it's shared experience, easier last hits, no "denies" of minions, cute artstyle, etc. This video will explain it much better than me!

Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China 2.5D of freshness - Mepfistamor

Assassin's Creed is a series that has been seriously and thoroughly explored. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but unless the formula is changed it can get "same-y". Oh look I've played this before but now I get a boat. Holy cow I'm warping through time and space.... Memories. I'm here to tell you that they have finally added fresh flavors into the mix.

First let me start by saying Shadow Complex is one of my favorite XBLA games, and ranks highly among all games especially "Metroidvanias". Secondly allow me to say that Assassin's Creed 3 and it's Tyranny of King Washington DLC specifically are my favorite AC titles. As usual this blog and my statements are opinion and should be taken as thus. Also a grain of salt might be advised.

This new AC takes place in an era and location we have always needed but didn't know to ask for (Japan was highly in demand due to ninjas, as a nature fit). The first of 3 parts of AC:Chronicles takes place in China. Its artwork, music, sounds, characters, and items all stem from this core. Which is vital as the artwork is what allows you to immerse yourself in a side scrolling AC game.

2.5D is a seldom explored approach to creating a game. It forced you to think and look in depth which is extremely effective as this is one of the first AC games that I feel has a strong "puzzle solving" element. In previous AC games you had some freedom of approach. Kill target A but you can do this through pure undetected stealth, you could try and swash buckle your way through, or in later entries you could take a ranged or even hands off approach. Even though a side scroller would seem to limit you, it in fact makes you think harder to achieve massively distant routes. Do you want to brawl your way through all opposition? Would you prefer to assassinate all enemies but do so purely invisible, or would you wish to remain as a shadow and not once be seen by the opponents? This is possible and more thought through than finessed through. Timing and approach surpass finesse and reaction time.

We will have to see how the next 2 parts play out, covering Arabian locations and Russian locale. For now I recommend the 10 dollar cost for a fleshed out and stimulatiing Assassin's Creed experience.

GTA 5 PC CHEATCODES - Beatboxingcat

For all those people who play GTA 5 on the pc you may know that cheat codes are now available by pressing the "~" button (which brings up the console). Another thing is that these codes do not give you more money or make you have a higher rank, instead they give you things like slow motion, being able to be drunk, etc. All that aside this is great for screwing around with your friends or just playing by yourself. Now lets get into the codes >;D

Battlefront's Destruction system explained -Dorwulf

Click here to read Gamespot's Article!


DICE general manager Patrick Bach spoke--albeit briefly--about the destruction system for the developer's upcoming game Star Wars Battlefront. Bach said that, while destruction has been a hallmark of the developer's Battlefield games, Battlefront will be different.

He has stated:
"Star Wars, as an [intellectual property], is shaping what we're doing," he said. "So we won't do excessive destruction just because we can. It's more about 'what do you need and what you want' in a Battlefield game versus a Battlefront game."


I fear that Battlefront's similarities to Battlefield will be it's biggest downfall. DICE is working hard to get that image out but until we see some actual gameplay and people get hands on with the game, we will not be sure of the outcome.

I am thankful they addressed the destruction in the game though. I feel levolution would not work well on Battlefront. The iconic map isn't there to tear it asunder and I don't think blasters have that kind of power.

Once again, the amazing trailer that is Star Wars Battlefront!!!!!
