Marvel Snap Nick Fury Guide: 3 Great Nick Fury Decks

Posted on December 27, 2022 by Aun Haider

Marvel Snap has been brimming with new content ever since its release earlier this year. The flood of content continues through the holiday season with the Winterverse event. As part of the event, all players have the chance to unlock Nick Fury, whose card is signed off by the real Nick Fury himself, Samuel L. Jackson.

Nick Fury is a 7 power 5 cost card that reads the following: On Reveal: Add 3 random 6-Cost cards to your hand. His unique effect makes him quite a puzzle to deck build with, and very fun to play. As our holiday gift to you, enjoy these three unique Nick Fury decks that utilize him effectively.

It is important to note that given the nature of Marvel Snap’s card collection, all cards may not be available to you, so take advantage of your individual card pool and adapt according to what you have available.

Marvel Snap Nick Fury Decks: Nick’s Collection

Marvel Snap Nick Fury Creation Deck.

Name	Energy	Power	Ability
The Hood	1	-2	On Reveal: Add a demon to your hand
Agent 13	1	2	On Reveal: Add a random card to your hand
Quinjet	1	2	Ongoing: Cards that didn’t start in your deck cost 1 less.
The Collector	2	1	When a card enters your hand from anywhere (except your deck), +1 Power..
Sentinel	2	3	On Reveal: Add another Sentinel to your hand
Carnage	2	2	Destroy your other cards here. +2 Power for each destroyed.
Armor	2	3	Ongoing: Cards at this location can’t be destroyed
Agent Coulson	3	4	On Reveal: Add a random 4-cost and 5-cost card to your hand.
Moon Girl	4	4	On Reveal: Duplicate your hand
Devil Dinosaur	5	3	Ongoing: +2 Power for each card in your hand
Nick Fury	5	7	On Reveal: Add 3 6-cost cards to your hand
Hulk	6	12	No Ability

This deck utilizes the ever-strong card generation archetype to show Nick Fury’s raw power. The Collector and Devil Dino benefit from all the card generation our deck can provide via Agent 13, Agent Coulson, Sentinel and the inclusion of Nick Fury. Nick Fury adds a respectable +3 power to The Collector and +6 power to Devil Dino when played. He also generates a 6-cost card that can be played as a finisher if our Hulk is not drawn on time or if we need to be more flexible and unpredictable with our final plays. Quinjet is also a neat addition, discounting all our generated cards.

Nick’s Ramp

Name	Energy	Power	Ability
Sunspot	1	1	At the end of each turn, gain +1 Power for each unspent energy.
Psylocke	2	1	On Reveal: Next turn you get +1 energy
Electro	3	2	On Reveal: +1 Max Energy. Ongoing: You can only play 1 card a turn
Wave	3	3	On Reveal: Next turn, cards in both players’ hands cost 4.
Devil Dinosaur	5	3	Ongoing: +2 Power for each card in your hand
Leech	5	3	On Reveal: Remove all abilities from all cards in your opponent’s hand
Captain Marvel	5	6	At the end of the game, move to a location at the end of the game that wins you the game. (If possible)
Nick Fury	5	7	On Reveal: Add three random 6-cost cards to your hand.
Leader	6	4	On Reveal: Copy all the cards your opponent played this turn, but on your side.
Doctor Doom	6	5	On Reveal: Add a 5-power Doombot to each other location
Odin	6	8	On Reveal: Activate the On Reveal abilities of your other cards at this location
Hulk	6	12	No Ability

This deck takes advantage of the ramp package to gain excess energy to play our high cost cards before our opponent. This is achieved with the help of cards like Wave, Psylocke, Electro. This lets us play our various 6 cost cards or play Nick Fury early. This gives us even more potential plays depending on the state of the game and the cards we have in our hand. This deck can be quite tricky to play since you will regularly only be able to play a card a turn if you play Electro. Recognizing the correct play each turn becomes even more important, as you have less plays to make and less room for error.

Nick Fury Pool 1 Deck – Marvel Snap

Marvel Snap pool 1 Nick Fury deck.

Name	Energy	Power	Ability
Elektra	1	1	On Reveal: Destroy a random 1-cost card at this location
Korg	1	2	On Reveal: Shuffle a Rock into your opponent’s deck
Mantis	1	2	On Reveal: If your opponent played a card this turn, draw a card from their deck.
Cable	2	2	On Reveal: Put the bottom card of your opponent’s deck into your hand.
Scarlet Witch	2	3	On Reveal: Replace this location with a random new one.
Sentinel	2	3	On Reveal: Add another Sentinel to your hand
Cosmo	3	3	Ongoing: On Reveal abilities won’t happen at this location
White Queen	4	6	On Reveal: Draw a copy of the highest cost card in your opponent’s hand.
Moon Girl	4	4	On Reveal: Duplicate your hand
Devil Dinosaur	5	3	Ongoing: +2 Power for each card in your hand
Nick Fury	5	7	On Reveal: Add 3 6-cost cards to your hand
America Chavez	6	9	You always draw this card on turn 6, not before.

This is a pool 1 deck for people new for the game that have gotten their hands on Nick Fury early thanks to the Winterverse event. This deck takes advantage of all of the best cards in pool 1, including our friend Devil Dinosaur, Korg, and White Queen to take advantage of cards with powerful effects and high power. This lets us keep up with our opponent even if they have access to better cards from higher pools. Disruptive effects such as Elektra and Cosmo let us disrupt our opponent’s one cost plays and powerful On Reveal effects. Nick Fury is fundamental in providing a finisher to this deck when America Chavez does not provide enough power by herself. The ability to gain access to three high cost, high power cards lets you make plays your opponent won’t anticipate.

These are only a few possible Marvel Snap decks that include Nick Fury. His effect and inherent flexibility lets him be played in a variety of decks, so feel free to experiment and mess around with him. His unique play style makes every game different and a joy to play, especially when you get your hands on cards you do not have in your collection yet. Looking at you, Galactus!

EA Games Commemorates 200th Birthday of Founder Erwin Arthur Games

Posted on December 27, 2022 by Kevin Flynn

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — EA Games issued a public announcement today posthumously wishing their founder Erwin Arthur Games a happy 200th birthday.

“We’d like to wish a happy 200th birthday to the dearly beloved Erwin A. Games,” read a statement posted to the software giant’s social media pages this morning. “He was many things during his time: entrepreneur, businessman, failed huckster. But most importantly, he’s the reason we’re here and the reason we have committed to a business strategy of absolute dastardliness. When consumers and journalists ask how and why we’ve remained so consistently defiant of the public’s wishes, they’ve failed to realize it’s merely a dedication to the flawed vision of our drunken founder. Happy birthday, Erwin. We hope they’re keeping the Hamm’s cold up there. Or down there. Probably down there.

“While many focus on the corporation your humble company blossomed into and its subsequent negative reputation due to years of vile and incompetent corporate decision making, we here at EA continue to carry on the proud tradition of just fucking things up all the time and having enough money to land comfortably.

“Did Erwin falter when he was expelled from school for gating off the water fountain and selling access to it? No.

“Did he pack it in when his first ever business, the infamous ‘Pay me some money and I’ll punch you in the chest’ booth nearly bankrupted him? Of course not.

“He took these failures and he channeled them into a dummy corporation used to camouflage various shady transactions for nearly two full centuries before getting into the computer software business with games like One on One: Dr. J vs. Larry Bird, even though he had died in the qualifying rounds of an underground Russian Roulette tournament well before then. Nevertheless, his passion and vision resonate every day. I think he’d really appreciate just how infuriating we’ve done things around here in his absence.

“So once again, happy birthday, Erwin, you crazy fucking asshole. It’s not the same without you.”

In addition to the released statement, EA Games also honored the 200th birthday of its founder by raising all prices of its games by two dollars today.

CoD Modern Warfare 2 Best Weapons Tier List (January 2023)

Posted on December 26, 2022 by Samam Hasan

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 offers players a variety of weapons to dominate the game modes with. All of them have their strengths and weakness that make them distinct from each other. So, players will need to be smart about picking their weaponry as they can be the difference between winning or losing in the game. Understanding which weapons are great from the start, need to be improved, or to be avoided completely is vital to being successful in Modern Warfare 2. That’s why we’ve created a weapons tier list that classifies each of the weapons, excluding the launchers and the Riot Shield, in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

MW2 Weapons Tier List- Best Weapons in Modern Warfare 2

S-Tier Weapons (Best Modern Warfare 2 Weapons)

M4
Kastov-74u
Lachmann Sub
Fennec 45
M13B
FSS Hurricane
Lockwood MK2
SP X-80
TAQ-56

The S-Tier Weapons showcased here are amazing from the start and have great stats when starting out. These can be definitely improved through attachments and perks. But, even without them these perform at a very high level and are prime choices in all kinds of situations. For beginners to the game, these can be a good starting point as weapons like the M4 are available from the start.

A-Tier Weapons

Chimera
Kastov 762
Vaznev-9K
Basilisk
Vel-46
Signal 50
Expedite 12
Lockwood 300
RAAL MG
HCR 56
X13 Auto
Bas-P
RPK

These A-tier weapons are above average in terms of overall performance and usability, but still less useful than the S-tier weapons. But, using specific attachments will bring out the best in them and even possibly outmatch some of the S-tier weapons. Moreover, these are more lively and advantageous in certain situations.

B-Tier Weapons

M16
Sakin MG38
Lachmann 556
Lachmann 762
TAQ-M
MCPR-300
FTAC Recon
SA-B 50
Rapp H
LMS
EBR-14
Minibak
X12
Victus XMR
STB 556

These B-Tier weapons are generally less than average in terms of performance and usability. As such, they are fully dependent on attachments and perks to make them stand out. These are not recommended for inexperienced players who are not knowledgeable about the characteristics of weapons like recoil, mobility, or handling. These can, however, be useful as secondaries to the S and A-tier weapons.

C-Tier Weapons

556 Icarus
Bryson 800
Bryson 890
PDSW-528
Kastov 545
LM-S
MX9
SO-14
.50 GS
P890
LA-B 330
SP-R 208
TAQ-V

These C-Tier Weapons are not recommended at all to use if you’re a beginner. These are not powerful and even with attachments and perks, they don’t pose a massive threat in the game. They are outclassed in almost every sector by the higher-tier weapons. Though these C-tier weapons have certain strengths, the weaknesses mostly outweigh them.

Disney Dreamlight Valley Quest Guide: A Home for the Holidays

Posted on December 26, 2022 by Tarun Sayal

The Festive update for Disney Dreamlight Valley kicked off recently with a fair amount of new content for players to delve into. One of the notable additions of this update is the new festive-themed “A Home For The Holidays” quest. The primary objective of this seasonal challenge is to craft certain holiday-centric furnishings to decorate your home. Here’s how to complete the “A Home For The Holidays” quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Disney Dreamlight Valley – A Home For The Holidays Quest Walkthrough

In order to complete A Home For the Holidays quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley, you’ll have to craft and place five festive items in your house.

Here’s the list of the holiday-centric furnishings along with their recipes:

Classic Snowman: Snowball x10, Carrot x1, Fabric x2, Pebbles x3

Haughty Snowman: 10 Snowballs, 1 Crystal, 2 Fabric, 2 Garnet

Snow Lady: Snowball x10, Carrot x1, Fabric x2, Pebbles x3

Snow Kid: Snowball x8, Carrot x1, Fabric x2, Pebbles x3

Holiday Feast Chair: 5 Hardwood, 3 Fabric

Holiday Feast Plate and Cutlery: 5 Clay, 1 Gold Ingot, 1 Fabric

Kinara: 3 Softwood, 7 Soya

Menorah: 1 Gold Ingot, 9 Soya

Tree of Holiday Cheer: 15 Glass, 10 Fabric, 25 Sugarcane, 3 Topaz

Yule Goat: 50 Wheat, 2 Fabric

When you craft any five items from the above list, all you need to do is place them in your home. It doesn’t matter which items or in which order you place them. As long as you’re using festive-themed items, you’re good to go. However, it’s worth noting that you must place the furnishings inside your home, not in the Plaza.

After successfully placing five-holiday items, the “A Home For The Holidays” quest will be marked as completed, and you’ll receive Winter Carpet for your efforts.

After completing this challenge, you can have a look at our Disney Dreamlight Valley guide to get the Festive Wrapping Paper to continue celebrating the season of giving.

Need for Speed Unbound Fastest Car Guide: The Fastest Cars

Posted on December 26, 2022 by Samuel Moreno

Need for Speed Unbound may look different when compared to previous entries, but that doesn’t change the importance of its namesake. As necessary as it feels to learn how to customize and change the driving effects so you can express your personal style to other drivers, that’s no use if you’re stuck behind them. To beat your opponents, you’ll want to know the fastest cars in Need for Speed Unbound.

Choosing the fastest cars can seem a little daunting when there are over 140 different vehicles and a majority cannot even be purchased before progressing through an unspecified part of the story or completing certain challenges. It becomes more intimidating once you factor in how much performance can be elevated through upgrading and that the fastest in a tier isn’t necessarily the highest rated or priciest.

Most races can be beaten by whichever vehicle you like as long as you properly upgrade them, but it helps to know which fares the best right out of the dealership. This guide will go over all of the important information about the fastest base cars for each tier in Need for Speed Unbound, including how to unlock them as well as the stats and cost for both the base and a fully upgraded build.

Need for Speed Unbound Fastest Tier B Car: Porsche 911 Carrera S (1997)

Starting it all off is the Porsche 911 Carrera S (1997), the highest-rated Tier B car that’s also the most expensive. Highlights include the best top speed in the tier and decent acceleration. Neutral handling and traction make it more valuable as players can upgrade and tune it to experience different driving styles.

	Rating	Top Speed MPH	0-60 MPH Time	Handling Range	Cost
Base	(B) 156	168	5.2	Neutral	$94,000
Upgraded	(S+) 400+	233	2.8	60% Grip – 60% Drift	+663,500

	Purchase Unlock Requirement
Story Mode	Available during Week 1
Online Mode	Available from the beginning

Tier A: BMW M4 Convertible (2018)

If you were to browse through the list of vehicles early on in the story mode, you might be mistaken for believing that the BMW M3 Coupé (2010) is the fastest vehicle for this tier. That distinction actually belongs to its sportier sibling, the BMW M4 Convertible (2018). The highest rating, highest top speed, and strong acceleration make this one a winner.

	Rating	Top Speed MPH	0-60 MPH Time	Handling Range	Cost
Base	(A) 209	191	4.2	20% Drift	$112,500
Upgraded	(S+) 400	233	2.8	40% Grip – 80% Drift	+717,500

	Purchase Unlock Requirement
Story Mode	Win the first qualifier
Online Mode	Available from the beginning

Tier A+: Mercedes-AMG GT S Coupe (2019)

Things get tricky starting with Tier A+. Sitting at the very top in ratings is the Mercedes-AMG GT S Coupe (2019). Although it doesn’t have the best top speed or acceleration, it offers a great balance compared to similar cars.

	Rating	Top Speed MPH	0-60 MPH Time	Handling Range	Cost
Base	(A+) 268	193	3.6	Neutral	$151,500
Upgraded	(S+) 399	232	2.6	60% Grip – 60% Drift	+$747,500

	Purchase Unlock Requirement
Story Mode	Win the first qualifier
Online Mode	Finish 30 Tier A playlists with a Mercedes-AMG

Tier A+: Aston Martin DB11 (2017): Need for Speed Unbound Fastest Cars

If you’re just looking for the highest top speed in the tier, you’ll want the Aston Martin DB11 (2017). The acceleration is ever so slightly slower and it’ll cost you an additional four thousand dollars, but the extra speed can make a difference. It also begins the trend with many of the fastest cars leaning more towards grip handling.

	Rating	Top Speed MPH	0-60 MPH Time	Handling Range	Cost
Base	(A+) 262	200	3.7	20% Grip	$155,500
Upgraded	(S+) 400+	233	2.6	80% Grip – 40% Drift	+$622,500

	Purchase Unlock Requirement
Story Mode	Win the first qualifier
Online Mode	Finish 10 mixed-tier playlists

Tier S: Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 (2019)

We’ll start this tier at the very top as well, which is crowned by the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 (2019). The top speed is second to only one among the other Tier S cars and the acceleration is more than decent for the price.

	Rating	Top Speed MPH	0-60 MPH Time	Handling Range	Cost
Base	(S) 329	212	3.1	20% Grip	$204,000
Upgraded	(S+) 398	230	2.6	80% Grip – 40% Drift	$747,500

	Purchase Unlock Requirement
Story Mode	Win the second qualifier
Online Mode	Finish 20 Tier A+ playlists in a Chevrolet

Tier S: Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SV (2009)

Another example of a high rating not equating to the fastest is with the Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SV (2009). The top speed is a minor improvement, but it matches the acceleration from the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 (2019). Its steep price hike is offset by the lower rating, which allows some upgrades to be added while maintaining its Tier S status.

	Rating	Top Speed MPH	0-60 MPH Time	Handling Range	Cost
Base	(S) 305	213	3.1	40% Grip	$335,500
Upgraded	(S+) 400+	233	2.1	100% Grip – 20% Drift	+$361,500

	Purchase Unlock Requirement
Story Mode	Win the second qualifier
Online Mode	Finish 15 Tier S playlists in a Lamborghini

Need for Speed Unbound Fastest Cars Tier S+: Bugatti Chiron Sport (2019)

As insanely quick that Tier S+ cars are, the two fastest vehicles are in a league of their own with intimidating 400+ ratings. First is the Bugatti Chiron Sport (2019). Not only is it the most expensive vehicle to purchase, but it also boasts the highest top speed and the quickest 0-60 MPH time. At the time of writing, this is undeniably the cream of the crop.

	Rating	Top Speed MPH	0-60 MPH Time	Handling Range	Cost
Base	(S+) 400+	261	2.3	80% Grip	$3,665,000
Upgraded	(S+) 400+	262	2.2	100% Grip – 20% Grip	+$224,000

	Purchase Unlock Requirement
Story Mode	Available during Week 4
Online Mode	Finish 35 Tier S+ playlists

Fastest Need for Speed Unbound Car Tier S+: Koenigsegg Regera (2016)

Nothing proves that looks can be deceiving better than the Koenigsegg Regera (2016) though. At less than half the price, a lower top speed, and a noticeably slower 0-60 MPH time, there’s some explaining needed for why this is the fastest car in Need for Speed Unbound.

A game mechanic that helps is the 245 mph speed limit imposed on every vehicle, which equally caps these final two cars to the same top speed. Further pushing the Koenigsegg Regera (2016) over is its acceleration. Most vehicles’ acceleration can be understood from a quick glance at the 0-60 MPH time. What makes this car different is that it runs on one gear, allowing for an outstandingly efficient rise in speed.

	Rating	Top Speed MPH	0-60 MPH Time	Handling Range	Cost
Base	(S+) 400+	256	2.7	40% Grip	$1,500,000
Upgraded	(S+) 400+	256	2.4	100% Grip – 20% Drift	+$181,500

Lifelong Mario Kart Player Discovers Brake Mechanic

Posted on December 26, 2022 by Lance Hartzman

JERSEY CITY, N.J. — A gamer that’s been enjoying the Mario Kart series since its debut on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1992 recently discovered the game’s braking mechanic, sources have confirmed.

“Oh wow, no shit,” said Arnold Clancy, after discovering a third button aside from the gas and attack buttons while playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Switch. “You can really do some finesse moves in this game, I had no idea. I always thought the best strategy around a gnarly corner was to just fly into the damn wall and steer out from there. When I saw people gliding around I figured it was just NPC’s with an unfair advantage, but I’ll be damned, I think I can do that shit too!”

Friends of Clancy’s said they’ve suggested he try applying the brakes to the characters in the game for years, to no avail.

“I tried telling him back when we would play Double Dash in college,” said Sean Moore, a former roommate of Clancy’s. “And he would either say ‘No way,’ or accuse me of trying to sabotage him, or just something skeptic in general. I never even tried to explain the bunny-hop-into-powerslide move. Dude won’t even hit the brakes.”

Developers of the Mario Kart franchise insist that players really ought to consider using the brakes when they play.

“We always pride ourselves on creating wonderful games that open up worlds of possibilities and excitement for friends and family alike,” said Yusuke Shiraiwa, director of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. “But for the love of god, why wouldn’t you use the brake? It’s like driving a real vehicle, you’re going to want to slow down once in a while. I really don’t see what the confusion is over this.”

As of press time, Clancy got a blue shell at the right time and ended up placing in front of his friends before retiring as “all-time Mario Kart champion.”

Creatively Bankrupt Man Also Regular Bankrupt

Posted on December 26, 2022 by Naomi Krause

NEW YORK — A local fantasy writer has reported that he is all out of ideas as well as money, sources have confirmed.

“Well it’s finally happened, I don’t have a penny to my name, and what’s worse, I haven’t the slightest fucking idea what to do about it,” said insolvent fantasy writer Shawn Goodstreet, who’s been suffering from writer’s block as well his lines of credit being blocked. “I can handle not being able to pay my bills, hell, that’s half of what being an artist is all about. But now that I’m devoid of ideas, I don’t know what the hell I’m gonna do.”

“Stare at the fucking wall where the couch used to be, I guess,” he added.

Fans of Goodstreet’s claimed they could long tell he was losing inspiration.

“I loved his first book, The Crystalwood Chronicles,” said Tonya Marshall, a one-time fan of Goodstreet’s novels. “But everything after that has been uninspired to say the least. I even tried to support the guy’s Patreon, but after a while it was just depressing videos of him eating breakfast and talking about movies he liked and basketball games he had watched the night before. No thanks, man. Unsubscribed. Good luck out there.”

Artistic peers of the artist that’s broken in every way also confirmed that his current state was easily anticipated.
