Kane's Main Quote in C&C 3 Kane's Wrath

My brothers, the departed, are surely looking down on me in contempt. After millenia, their ultimate vision of my fate has been realised. I have been rendered impotent, a sham, a failure, my very existance a mockery of all that I know to be right and true. Once a prophet, the messiah for this world, now imprisoned. As I lie here, trapped in these tubes, in this twisted, ruined shell of a body, the Brotherhood of Nod has been torn asunder by the infighting and heresy of those who presume to speak in my stead. Is it any wonder my followers have scattered to the four winds? I think not. So, has it come to this, that all that I fought for, all that I have sacrificed, is as dust? This cannot be ... ... I must heal, I must survive, I must claw myself up from this pit ... ... and then, truly, shall this pitiful world - and my dear departed brothers - know my wrath.

Command and Conquer 3 Guide to Support Powers (Work in Progress)

What's up guys, I hope you like Command and Conquer 3 Kane's Wrath, because I'll be working on a list of all of the support powers for each faction! This blog will provide detailed information of the cost, uses, and requirements for every support power found in the game. I will start with nod.


Decoy Army-
Cost: $500
Requirements: Operations Center
Recharge: Fast
Effect/Notes- This support power creates fake units that look exactly like the regular one, except that they are much easier to kill and do no real damage. Useful for drawing your opponent's fire when there is lots of heat on your offensive force. Note that the fake units can be distinguished from real ones when there are stealth-detecting units or structures around.

Mine Drop-
Cost: $1500 
Requirements: Operations Center 
Recharge: Medium 
Effect/Notes- Mine drop is a useful support power that calls in a fast nod covert aircraft to drop a large field of stealthed mines at the target area. This can be used on the retreat by placing it at your enemies chokepoint, where they are likely to pursue and take heavy losses in return. On defense, it can be handy for causing significant damage to marauding ground forces in key chokepoints. This support power is, however, expensive for it's place on the tech tree, and as such must be used in moderation. Stealth-detecting units can destroy the mines quite easily. This power cannot be used in shroud.

Radar Jamming Missile-
Cost: 750(Tiberium Wars), 300(Kane's Wrath)
Requirements: Operations Center
Recharge: Fast
Effect/Notes- Invaluable in setting up ambushes, this scrambler missile shuts down all enemy radars for a short amount of time. This is important, because your opponent will not be able to see you coming on his mini-map, even if he has scouts in the field. This way, you can use Stealth Tanks or other fast units to stage quick assaults on their base. Even better, if your opponent has multiple bases and you attack one, he will be panicking, desperately trying to find the base that is under attack. A very good support power for the money spent.

Is it Safe to Play Games Online?

Hey guys, I have a question for you today. Do you think that it is safe to play games online with unknown people? I have never played online before, and am wondering if it is safe to do so under any circumstances. I read a statistic that about 99.5% of gamers are just playing the game, and that means that out of 1000 people, 1 is out for more than the game. So I was just wondering what you guys think. Let me know if you have an answer!

Which Platform for Command and Conquer 3 Kane's Wrath is the best?

Hey guys, I have some information for you on Command and Conquer Kane's Wrath. This blog is going to be about whether you should get this game on PC or xbox 360. I say this because I got an xbox about a month ago, and got Kane's Wrath on it last night(the reason being the problem I had with it on the PC in my last post). Here is some info on which one you should get: Downloads- For some reason, if you were planning to buy the download version of this game, it requires that you have C&C3 Tiberium wars to play. If you choose to get it on disc format, neither the PC nor the xbox requires that you have the base game to play. This is probably purely because EA sees discs as a thing of the past, and I am not opposed to that, as I have a windows 8 built in laptop that cannot play discs. PC Advantages: The PC version of this game has a mode called global conquest, where you build bases and strike forces and try to conquer the world. This mode is a lot of fun. I remember when it worked on my laptop, it was really fun. Those days are gone now. :( You can also play multiplayer and skirmish with 2-8 players, which is superior to the xbox, which only has the option to play with 2-4 players. Xbox 360 Advantages: On the xbox, the game has a single player game mode built in to it called kane's challenge. This is kind of like special ops in the modern warfares for example. There are 80(I don't know if you can get more on the xbox store as DLC)different challenges that can be played as any of the 9 factions, which if you try to beat all of them, should take you 40-50 hours with all factions, and you can also change the level of difficulty! This is a feature comparable to global conquest, although not quite as fun that will be very satisfying to complete. I hope this blog was helpful to you. Let me know if you would like to know more on the topic.

What would you like for the next minecraft update?

Hey guys, I was wondering what you would want Mojang to add in the next minecraft update! I know 1.7.2 just came out for PC with stained glass and carpets and such, but I really want them to add some sort of a block that can store power from furnaces and daylight sensors and use it whenever you need it, like storing solar power during the day and using it to power redstone lamps. I know there are mods and things like that for this, but for security reasons, I do not download these from untrusted sites. That only leaves the updates, which only come out like once a month. So, what do you guys think?

"You must have command and conquer 3 tiberium wars installed to play kanes wrath

Hey guys, unfortunately I have a problem with command and conquer 3 kanes wrath. If you have been having this problem and know how to fix it, definitely be sure to let me know in the comments. So heres what happened: I bought the command and conquer ultimate collection on origin and downloaded command and conquer 3 tiberium wars and kanes wrath, and when I started it up, it worked perfectly fine, and it did about the first 10-15 times I launched it. Then, one day, I tried to open kanes wrath in origin, and an alert came up saying: "you must have command and conquer 3 tiberium wars installed to play kanes wrath". But I already DID install tiberium wars. I have no idea what has happened to it, but after looking at other posts about this same issue, I was able to determine that kanes wrath was unable to detect that tiberium wars was even on my computer. So does anybody have a fix for this? If you do, *PLEASE* let me know, because I really wanna play global conquest!!! :(

PS: The screenshot is what it looks like when I try to start up the game.

Which is better: 3ds or PS Vita? (not a review)

Hey guys! This time, I have another forum-like topic for you: which would you buy- a ps vita or nintendo 3ds? Well, I was wondering which one to put on my Christmas list, and thought that maybe you guys could help!

First of all, I am kind of leaning towards the 3ds, because it has really fun mario and pokemon games that can be played on it, as well as being able to play ds games as they are still in that chip like thing. I've also heard that some of the games that are on it do really well at integrating the 3d function of the device into them, and this is also ultimately what my friends have, so if I ripped open a present containing one of these, I could hook up with two of my friends at church with mariokart 7. That would be really fun.

Next, I have seen youtube videos promoting that you can hook up a ps vita to a ps3 and download a game that has previously been downloaded from the PSN and actually play it on your vita! This would definitely be the primary reason why the vita is still such a viable option in my view. Also, it has a 5 megapixel rear facing camera for taking pictures (this resolution is startling for a dedicated gaming device, it is as much as my galaxy tab 3 8.0's rear facing camera's resolution!), which makes for another cool pro for this one. I think it is also much faster when connecting to wi-fi than the 3ds. Another major factor with this device is it has twin joysticks, which allow for much better first-person shooter games, like resistance: burning skies, killzone: mercenary, and black ops 2 declassified (even though it got really crappy reviews on IGN, something like 2.5). It also has an OLED screen and an intuitive touch display.

So what do you guys think? I would prefer to get opinions from those of you that have tried or own both devices, and love to hear what you guys think in my blog. See ya later. ;P

All about SimCity 2013: should you get it?

Hey guys! Today I have another video game topic for you. Do you like SimCity 2013? if so, what are its biggest pros and cons and should I get it?

From youtube videos and blogs, I have been able to determine that there are many things wrong with the game currently, including bugs, utterly small city sizes, weird zone development, and high price for what you get, and crappy servers that almost never let you in, along with the extremely irritating thing that EA has done, perhaps the most annoying. It is the fact that you ALWAYS HAVE TO BE ONLINE TO PLAY. This really stinks, because I am often on camping trips and such, where I have been offline most of the time, so SimCity 4 on my laptop has proven its worth. I'm sure most of you are wondering: why does EA require you to be online all the time with this game? Well, the answer is simple and is for the same reason that they have done many other things that irritated lots of fans of the games they publish: They want you to always be online so you will buy something like an item pack from their store to progress with the game. I'm not kidding, if you have origin (EA's somewhat trashy DRM service, like steam), all you have to do for the proof is search (simcity) in the store and find that the packs with ferris wheels and such cost about $10 EACH. Sadly, this is very true. EA is very greedy, along with having sh***y customer service, in case there is something wrong with your game, do not expect EA to help.

I really hope that this game gets patches to fix bugs, bigger maps, an offline mode, and a lowered price. These are simply the four things that need to be executed for this game in order to make it worth buying or at least putting it on my list for Christmas.

So to conclude this blog, I just wanted to ask you guys whether you like the game or not and for what reasons, and if you know of anything EA or Maxis will do in the future to improve this game (I read on the video game news that Maxis is looking into an offline mode for SimCity 2013). Bye, and if you have anything to say, don't be afraid to tell me what you think!

Which will you buy: xbox one or ps4?

Hi again! This time, I have a topic for you that seems to be big right now: are you going to buy a ps4 or xbox one? We were thinking about buying a ps4 because it can play ps3 games, unlike the one, which you have to pay microsoft a fee so that you can play xbox 360 games on it. The xbox one will also receive halo 5 when it comes out (no fair).


Both of these next-gen consoles are going to receive new games like COD: Ghosts (it is going to be released on ps3 and xbox 360 as well, but it doesn't run nearly as well), Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, and Battlefield 4. Both of these consoles have roughly the same games except for the series that are exclusive to the console (halo for xbox, ratchet and clank and killzone for ps2/3/4).

Both of these consoles are compatible with a new motion sensor camera, which can be used for hand gestures on the xbox one, at least according to microsoft. They also both have in common a PC-like build, which states that consoles will never be as powerful as PCs because of the fact that they cannot do documents and internet searching as well as a PC can. One major decision factor for you is that the ps4 is only going to be about $400, while the xbox one will be about $500. Another is that the xbox one comes with the motion sensor camera, while the ps4 does not. Also, as everyone already knows, the controllers are very different from each other, so stick to whatever you are used to (ps4 for me, I have never owned an xbox of any kind).

So which one will you buy? If you want, you could let me know by posting in the comments! See ya! #xboxone #ps4 If you found this topic interesting, please re-share on google plus or blogger! Thanks a lot ;)

Are you going to buy Battlefield 4?

Hey guys! I was thinking about buying Battlefield 4 when it comes out, and I wondered if you would be interested to share what you think/whether you're going to buy it too! I'm really not sure at this point, because EA has released some pretty bad titles like Command and conquer 4 Tiberian Twilight, Mass Effect 3, Simcity 2013, and you could possibly count crysis 3.

I just wonder if this game is going to be as good as the ones before it, and if it is worth the money. I heard it's gonna have some awesome new vehicles and weapons, and a new frostbite 3 engine that runs at 60 frames per second on ps4 and xbox one. It sure sounds pretty sweet.

So, you don't have to share your opinion before it comes out, because when it does, I would love to hear from one of you out there if I should put it on my list for christmas and if it has as good gameplay as any of the call of duties.
Bye for now ;)

Do you think that Crysis 1 and Warhead should have offline MP against bots?

Hey guys! I bought Crysis and Crysis warhead 2 days ago, so today I am going to take a forum-like approach and ask you guys if you think there should be a seperate game mode for crysis 1 and warhead in which you can play offline with bots like black ops combat training. I definitely think that there should be because I have had a bad experience with playing with other players online because I stick out as a "noob" compared to everyone else.

I think that a LOT more first-person shooters and not just strategy games should get bots to play with so you can get familiar with the guns and such before heading online to duke it out on a server. Don't get me wrong, I really like strategy games like Command and conquer and Starcraft 2, but I'm just saying that it just doesn't seem fair that the majority of those games get bots and shooter games like this don't.

Be sure to post what you think on the topic (it is the reason behind why I am typing this in the first place). Happy gaming!

Magic Items in Diablo 3

Hey guys! I have something new for you today! Yesterday I got Diablo 3 on my ps3 and it's AWESOME! This blog will be about magic items you can find in D3. Magic items can include belts, axes, swords, chestplates, helmets, bows, and so on. The magic item will have a special attribute, like higher intelligence, higher dexterity, higher chance of finding other magic items, higher strength, etc. The magic items are randomly generated, so you never know what effect they will have, adding to this game's replay value. Note that higher strength/teleporter/ghost/boss enemies have a radically higher chance to drop magical items. Note that if you find a magic item that you cannot use as the class you currently have equipped (ex. You are a barbarian class and find a magic short/long/crossbow), you should ABSOLUTELY sell it to a merchant in town, as magic items are worth 10-30 times more than non magic items. 

How to identify magic items

Magic pickups have their names spelled out in blue letters. When you find them, do pick them up, because if you have two or more of a non bow magic weapon, you can put one in each hand, essentially giving you the advantages and special attributes of both.

I hope you guys enjoyed this blog and if there's anything else you want to know about this topic, feel free to post in the comments! Bye for now :)

Enfield gun in Black Ops

Hey guys! Today I'll be talking about the Enfield assault rifle from Black ops multiplayer! This gun is useful in all kinds of situations, having a more mobile feel to it than any other assault rifles in the game. It is easy to get headshots with this gun, especially with the red dot/reflex sight. Here is all the information you need to use the enfield to its maximum potential.

-Because this gun is unlocked so early in your MP/Combat training career, you can use it to great effect against dumb bots or ignorant players. It is one of the best guns for simply scoring easy headshots at medium to long range.

-Don't be fooled by the (ridiculously) low damage bar on this guns stats. It is actually quite deadly to any player/AI, and aiming is faster than any other assault rifle (in my opinion), which makes it a popular choice among the AI at regular or higher difficulty. You could think of this as the more versatile, slightly lower damage successor to the HK21.

I hope you guys enjoyed this blog and if you have any questions or comments, feel free to ask.

Napalm Strike in Black Ops

Hey guys! Today the subject is the Napalm Strike scorestreak in Black Ops Multiplayer! This devestating scorestreak unleashes fiery napalm across an entire battlefield, which will incinerate any players that come into contact with it for about 20 seconds, regardless of which team called it in. Here I will tell you some tips on how to obtain and use this killstreak to your advantage.

-This kill streak requires 5 kills without dying (four with the hardline perk), and can easily be obtained if you remain at a fixed location, where a suppressed Sniper/LMG/AR works best. It is most effective when targeted on long, wide corridors/streets that are highly trafficked areas.

-It is possible to kill yourself by accident with this streak, and your allies as well if they don't get undercover quickly. The napalm is extremely potent, frying enemies instantly on contact.

I hope you enjoyed this blog and if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

How to Make Money in SimCity 4

Hey guys! Today the subject is how to make money in Simcity 4, a realistic city game which brings hours and hours of entertainment. I will show you a few points on both maximizing profit, and minimizing expenses.

Maximizing Profit:

-A common mistake a lot of players make is that they raise taxes too high to make a surplus. I think this is, ironically, the WORST thing you can do to make some cash, as high taxes will not attract new
residents, industry, or (less importantly), commercial zones for the time being. Instead, build lots of medium density Industrial zones and medium density residential because medium density residential can support apartment blocks for several hundred poor residents. This will increase revenue very quickly.

-Make sure to water your buildings, but only use cheap water towers because they only cost $50 a
month to run. irrigating buildings will significantly increase density of buildings, leading to more people, and thus more money.

-If you're going to make a civic building like a school or hospital, make sure that you have a surplus at least as big as the amount that it costs every month to run. For example, if I wanted to make a school, which costs $400 every month, I would make sure my profit was at least $400 more than my expenses so I would not be losing money.

-To make towering hi-rises, zone a high density residential area and make sure there's low garbage, low pollution, low commute time (the time it takes to get to work from the structure), and high academic, hospital, police, and fire grades. These skyscrapers can hold thousands of residents each.

Minimizing Expenses:

-If you are still a small city with schools and hospitals, consider reducing the budget so the amount of teachers to students or doctors to patients will become more realistic. This will also reduce the money spent.

-Don't build landfills or any other structures to deal with garbage, you'll have to pay for the sanitation dept. (the garbage trucks/people who work to process garbage), which costs around $2000 a month for even a reasonably sized landfill, which is money that could be used to greater effect for health, education, or police or fire.

I hope you enjoyed this blog and if you have any questions or comments, post them below. SimCity 4 rocks! :)

Galil gun in Black Ops

Hey guys, what's up and I recently got call of duty black ops 1 for PC, so today I"ll be blogging about the galil assault rifle in multiplayer. This weapon is a well rounded all-purpose weapon, best suited for taking out enemies from a distance. Despite the galil's clear iron sights, it is still preferred by most players to use reflex sight or other optical attachments.

The galil has a moderately long reload time, so it is advised to get behind cover while reloading. The weapon fulfills its task as an all purpose weapon even better when equipped with the masterkey underbelly attachment, as this weapon allows for better CQC engagements, although when mounted with masterkey, flamethrower, or grenade launcher attachments you cannot have any others on the gun with them.

When creating a class, note that this gun is comparable in power to most of the higher assault rifles, so if you have black ops on the pc like me, then don't work up a sweat unlocking them, they're pretty much no better than this gun.

I hope you liked this blog and if you have any comments, be sure to post them!

Carrier from Starcraft 2

Hey guys , whats up and today the subject will be the mighty Protoss Carrier from Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm. This unit does not attack directly, but instead sends out lethal waves of interceptor drones to attack the enemy continuously. With the interceptor's low damage per shot and fast attacks it is advised to stay away from units with heavy armor like the Battlecruiser and Tempest, which also deals bonus damage to massive air units.

The Carrier is great in small numbers to support a ground army, usually consisting of zealots, stalkers, and/or sentries. The interceptors can be doing solid damage, while taking hits for your ground army and targeting potentially dangerous units like Thors, Colossi, or Ultralisks. If you can afford it, I cannot overstate how important it is to keep "train interceptor" on autocast. This way, whenever an interceptor gets destroyed in battle, it will automatically receive a replacement in 8 seconds. Interceptors cost 25 minerals each to deploy. The carrier can deploy interceptors from beyond the range of fixed defenses, making it a siege ranged unit in a sense. The carrier is quite expensive to deploy at 350 minerals, 250 gas, and 6 supply, taking 120 seconds to build, twice as long as a void ray.

The carrier is most effective against light units of any type, like mutalisks, hydralisks, phoenixes, stalkers, and marines. However, it is easily obliterated by capital ships or other units with high bonus armored damage. The carrier also requires a fleet beacon to be built from the stargate, and it can also pick up the "graviton catapult" upgrade, which makes carriers deploy interceptors about 3x faster.

I hope you guys liked this blog. Let me know if you use the Carrier extensively in battles, I'm sure I could give you some pointers!

How to Farm Wheat in Minecraft

Have you ever wanted a better way to fight off hunger than go around killing animals all day in minecraft? Well, I will tell you how to make a simple but effective wheat farm that will eliminate hunger easily.

You will need:

1. Hoe

2. 8 water buckets

3. wheat seeds

1. Dig out an 8 block long, 1 block wide trench and fill it with water (make sure that the water is not flowing, as the plants cannot soak it up easily).

2. hoe the ground on all of the blocks touching the water (including the corner blocks) and plant seeds in them (seeds are found by destroying grass growing on grass blocks).

3.  Dig out an 8 (or longer) block long, 1 block wide trench like before next to one of the long sides of the existing farm.

4. Hoe the ground around that trench too and plant seeds in it as well.

5. Hopefully the hoed land has turned dark brown. If it has, then seeds will grow in it much better, about 4x as fast as non dark brown (if seeds are more than 4 blocks away from water of some kind, they will not be able to grow at all on PC).

6. The seeds do not have to be wheat. You could also plant melon seeds or pumpkin seeds in case you needed those too.

7. When your farm is done, it should look somewhat like the picture.


I hope this blog was helpful and if you have any comments or questions, be sure to tell me, I'm sure I can answer them ;)

Semtex Grenade in Black Ops 2

Hey guys, what's up and I have a blog today with an awesome Black Ops 2 topic: the Semtex grenade, a lethal grenade that sticks to anything it touches: vehicles, walls, floors, ceilings, or even other players! This sticky grenade is really fun to use and is very powerful, killing any player that gets the Semtex grenade stuck to them, even when they have Flak Jacket. Here are some interesting things about the grenade and what you can use it for:

-The Semtex works extremely well as a one hit kill as long as it sticks to the enemy player you are targeting. It can also be used to good effect against ground based scorestreaks like the AGR. Just don't expect to be able to land the semtex grenade on an enemy if you are in a CQC (close quarters combat) area if your opponent is already using submachine guns or pistols, you'll get mowed down before you have a chance to kill the other player.

- It can also be used effectively to keep pursuers off your tail by throwing semtex on the inside of a wall where it can be used as a short lived "proximity mine". If you throw it at the correct time, it will blow the player up and you will be successful in the skirmish.

-Another thing it is used to great effect for is getting fairly close to an enemy player, throwing a semtex at them, and then running away. This is very effective for sticking an enemy with semtex and having him blow up all of his teammates, being very satisfying to watch.

-The semtex grenade is also available in zombies mode on the map "town". It can be used effectively for killing large packs of the undead, or damaging them heavily in the later rounds.

I hope you guys liked this blog and if you have anything to say, don't be afraid to tell me, and with that, have fun experimenting with this lethal!

StarCraft 2 Viking

Hi guys! This blog is going to focus on the Terran Viking from StarCraft 2, a unit that can transform between fighter (air) mode and assault (ground) mode. Note that Vikings can only attack units in the same form as them in their current state (An air Viking can only hit air units, while a ground Viking can only hit ground). I will tell you how to use Vikings efficiently in battle. 

-A good thing to do with Vikings is take advantage of their transforming ability to avoid ground or air only units. A good strategy when facing zerg is when you destroy a zerg structure do the "Viking hop" a maneuver that involves being on the ground, shooting a structure until it dies, and then lifting into the air to avoid the vicious broodlings spawned from the structure. Another use for this is when there are air only units or structures like missile turrets or spore crawlers posted, you can fly in, land and destroy the turrets to make way for a drop ship land in hostile territory.

-Vikings are useful for destroying unguarded expansions too far away from your opponent's army for them to retaliate. This will slow your opponent's economic development and therefore making it easier to destroy their army.

-Absolutely make use of the Viking's bonus damage against armored units, especially capital ships like battlecruisers. They can also kite battlecruisers because of their significantly higher speed and longer range (kiting is shooting at the unit, moving back, and shooting again until the unit is destroyed). Kiting is necessary for this unit for it is very fragile in direct combat.

I hope you enjoyed this blog and learned about Vikings and If you have any comments or questions, be sure to let me know.

How to get Coordinates in Minecraft

Hi guys! Today I will show you how to get coordinates active on minecraft! Coordinates are useful for knowing where certain objects are on a map and knowing what biome you're in and how high or low you are  underground! To get the coordinates up, you have to press F3 on your computer (if that doesn't work try using FN-F3). With coordinates you can find the coordinates of your house and use the coordinates to find it  again if you are lost.

When posting seeds it is important to list the coordinates of all the main attractions (dung
eons, pyramids, etc.) so your viewers know where to look for the cool things in the seed. When you are underground, your coordinates menu will tell you what biome you're in so when you dig up to the surface you know approximately what to expect.

As you can see in the picture, the coordinates tell you where you are in x (length) coords, y (height) coords, and z (width) coords. It also tells you which direction you are facing, which biome you're in (which I've mentioned before) and other info about your location. (Y coordinates tell you how many blocks you are above bedrock, so the perfect place to look for diamonds is between 12 and 16 y).

I hope you guys learned something from this blog and found it helpful. Let me know if you have any ideas for what I should blog on in Minecraft next.

Pyramidvillage in Minecraft

Hey guys! Today on minecraft I've got an amazing seed that has a pyramidvillage! Not sure what that is? Well, it's a desert NPC village with a pyramid in it! The village does have a blacksmith, so you can loot it's chest and then take the treasures from the pyramid for a quick start on resources.

A sight like this is pretty rare, and because of the neighboring forest you can get a quick start on wood.


Even though the village is close to your spawnpoint, you can still get lost, so the coordinates for the NPC village are X-37, Z-117 (if you don't know how to use coordinates, you should read my previous blog). You spawn in the swamp, but the desert can be seen from spawn, so head over and the village will be there.

I hope you enjoy this seed. Let me know if you found any other cool things on the seed, and stay tuned for more MC seeds to come!

Death Machine And War Machine Scorestreaks In Black Ops 2

Hey guys! Today I will be talking about the War Machine and Death Machine scorestreaks in Black Ops 2! These guns can be a serious warning for other players to find cover or somewhere to hide once one of these nasty guns is deployed. Here is what they are, how to use them, and their strengths:

The War Machine is a drum loaded grenade launcher that fires lethal grenades at foes that always deal instant kills and inflict massive damage on hostile ground based scorestreaks. This is very useful for clearing out tightly packed groups of enemies and bouncing off of walls and buildings to hit enemies under cover from behind. However, to compensate for this extreme power, the War Machine only has 12 grenades, and cannot effectively get a one shot kill on an enemy with flak jacket. They cost 900 scorestreak points to deploy.

The Death Machine, on the other hand, is a very powerful minigun capable of clearing out tightly grouped packs of enemies in seconds, and it has 200 shots, much more than the War Machine. It has a fire rate of about 10 bullets per second, so be careful how you spend your ammo. When handling this weapon, on the PS3 press L1 to start spinning the minigun's barrel. this increases accuracy and greatly reduces the delay before firing, but won't be good to use in close quarters combat. When your opponent hears "be advised, hostile death machine spinning up", they will have to get inside or risk getting ripped to shreds by this weapon's high damage and rate of fire. They are quite cheap at only 850 points to deploy, and have a 5-10% chance of being in a care package.

I hope you guys liked this blog and if you have ideas for future blogs or questions, don't be afraid to tell me, I'm sure I can answer them ;)

MK48 Gun in Black Ops 2

Hey guys, Today the subject of this blog is the MK48 gun in Black Ops 2 Multiplayer. This gun is highly effective at medium to long range engagements, and because of its slow but powerful bullets, it can easily take down enemies in most situations. Here are some things you should know about this gun:

Most effective: In medium to long range engagements, where weapons like pistols and submachine guns are too short ranged to bring their fire to bear, with the sniper rifles taking too long to line up a shot, the MK48 LMG remains dominant. However, care must be taken in tight and narrow hallways with many corners, as pistols, submachine guns, and shotguns can easily take you out before you have a chance to use your scope of choice to hammer the opposition. The MK48 is classified as a light machine gun that works well with almost every scope in the game.

Attachments: Already being effective against enemy scorestreaks, the gun becomes even more effective in this already strong point with the FMJ (full metal jacket) attachment, which also gives it increased penetration against items like combat shields. For a scope, I reccomend the Hybrid Optic sight, which lets you switch between reflex and ACOG sights by pressing the main joystick. The hybrid scope gives this weapon effectiveness even in short range engagements with the reflex sight, which is an area where it was previously weak. As always, any gun is good with the extended clip attachment.

Good when partnered with: MP7, R870MCS, B23R, or S12  for close range combat (to get primary weapons as your secondary weapon, equip the "primary gunfighter" wildcard).

I hope you guys enjoyed this blog and if you have any guns you would like to know about, let me know, I'm sure I can blog about them!

Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm Widow Mine

Hey guys! Today I will tell you all about the widow mine, one of the new and extremely powerful units in Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm. This nasty bugger can burrow underground and launch lethal sentinel missiles at enemy units that walk within 5 range of it! The widow mine deals 125 damage to it's primary target, not to mention splash damage of 40 to nearby units, with an additional +35 damage against protoss shields.

The widow mine is cheap at 75 minerals and 25 gas, and because it is a basic unit, it can be produced from a factory with a reactor. Another dangerous aspect of the mine is that it can make a nasty siege unit that unlike the siege tank, can fire at air or ground units. Take the following advantages and disadvantages to widow mines into consideration:

Pros:
-Widow mines are cheap to build, costing only 75 minerals and 25 gas.

-Widow mines do splash damage to air or ground units.

-They may force your opponent to invest heavily in seperate detector production to successfully defuse your mines.

-They can be used in front of bunkers to block the approach of short ranged units like zealots, zerglings, mutalisks, marines, and hydralisks, all of which are vulnerable to area of effect damage.

-With the protoss Immortal's hardened shield it can reduce any attack's damage to 10 if it is above 10. However, the widow mine's attack is unique in that it ignores the immortal's hardened shield, enabling the immortal to be dismantled with heavy weaponry.

Cons:
-The widow mine, with it's extreme power and splash damage, also deals devestating friendly fire to your units. stay aware that units like broodlings could potentially direct friendly fire on your own army.

-Widow mines take VERY long to arm again after firing, so if your opponent was smart they could bait your widow mines out with units like marines, zealots, or zerglings and then use detectors with their army to destroy the mines before they re-arm.

-When detectors are present, the widow mine can be safely destroyed by longer ranged units, notably the siege tank or tempest, both of which have an attack range about three times as long as the mine.

-Getting more in depth with friendly fire, if you are using widow mines to fend off raids with mutalisks, void rays, or banshees, you should know that you can splash your own SCV's with the missiles.

I hope you guys liked this blog and if you find any more cool things to use this unit for, be sure to tell me about it!
