GTA Online Stun Gun Guide: How to Get a Taser in GTA Online

Posted on December 29, 2022 by Tarun Sayal

In Grand Theft Auto Online, Stun Guns made a brief appearance in Ammu-Nation stores when Rockstar released the Contract DLC. However, the Taser was later removed from the stores, which is why obtaining the Stun Gun is still a mystery for many GTA Online players. If you’re also looking for a way to add this taser to your arsenal, then your search is now over. We’ve got you covered with our comprehensive GTA Online guide to buying the Taser.

How To Get a Taser (Stun Gun) – GTA Online

Unlike other GTA Online weapons, you can’t purchase the Taser right away from the Ammu Nation store. Instead, you must own Agency in partnership with Franklin with an Armory section installed in it. You can purchase Agencies from Dynasty 8 Executive, which you can access from the Internet browser on your smartphone.

In case you already own an Agency, the Armory upgrade will cost you $700,000. Fortunately, during our GTA Online playthrough, the upgrade was on sale, and we bought it for $432,000. We suggest waiting for an exclusive deal like this one if you’re running low on cash.

After fulfilling these prerequisites, go to the top floor of your Agency, where you’ll find a room filled with a wide variety of weapons and ammo, including GTA Online‘s Taser. There you’ll see a purchase menu in the top right corner of the screen. At this point, head to the Pistol menu and finally purchase Stun Gun for $326,250.

If you want to save a ton of cash, then we suggest heading to your friend’s or any random player’s Agency to buy the Stun Gun. This way, you can save around $2.4 million of GTA Online cash and spend it on other businesses to expand your reach.

In case you don’t have money to buy the Taser in GTA Online, then take a quick look at the Snowmen and Weazel Plaza shootout challenge guides to snag over $500,000 in less than an hour.

Marvel Snap Morag Guide: The Best Cards for Morag Decks

Posted on December 29, 2022 by Aun Haider

Marvel Snap releases yet another new location, Morag. Morag reads as the following: You can’t play your first card here each turn. As with the release of any new location, the location has a 40% increased chance of popping up in game over 48 hours. This location is unique, as location changing cards like Scarlet Witch and Storm are less effective due to the location’s limitations. Cards that add power into multiple locations or play out lots of cards are excellent into this location. Here are some of our suggestions to some powerful choices to play in Morag.

Mister Fantastic

Mister Fantastic has the Ongoing effect: Adjacent locations have +2 Power. This effect lets us add +2 power into Morag without needing to interact with Morag at all. Mister Fantastic is cheap for its cost, letting us play him at almost any stage in the game.

Doctor Doom – Best Marvel Snap Morag Deck Cards

Doctor Doom adds two 5 Power Doombots to other locations when revealed. He is an excellent round 6 play as he can add a substantial 5 Power to other locations including Morag. This can surprise your opponent who may not have committed any resources to Morag. This card is more effective when you do not have any cards in Morag already, as the opponent expects you to not compete for that location at all.

Vision and other Move Cards

Vision’s ability to move around freely makes him formidable when Morag shows up. We can simply move him into Morag, ignoring the location’s text and adding 7 power to that location. His ability to move also lets us contest other locations if the opponent already has a winning lead in Morag. He also has the flexibility to move into other locations where cards are hard to play, like Death’s Domain or Sanctum Sanctorum.

Other cards that enable movement, such as Heimdall or Iron Fist, lets us put cards into Morag without considering the location’s requirement. This lets us gain a winning lead in Morag and win a location that our opponent may not be able to compete in. Nightcrawler is another fantastic option as he only costs 1 power and can threaten to win Morag on his own.

Best Marvel Snap Morag Cards: M’Baku

M’baku is a fun Pool 4 option that can be unreliable. Still, he can be quite potent due to his effect. His card reads: If this is in your deck at the end of the game, it jumps to a random location. If you are able to fill up the other two locations, you can guarantee M’Baku jumping into Morag. This effect is particularly good with LockJaw, as we can put M’Baku into the deck if we find him in our hand. If we are unable to fill up the other locations, M’Baku may not jump to our location of choice.

Ultron

Ultron is another potential turn 6 play, much like Doctor Doom. He fills up other locations by summoning 1 Power drones. This lets us add a potential four power to Morag, disregarding any other synergies such as Blue Marvel or Patriot that can boost the drones’ power further.

Sera

Sera is one of the most powerful cards in Marvel Snap, and is excellent when Morag shows up as well. Her ongoing effects discounts cards by one energy, keeping in mind that card costs cannot be reduced to zero. Cards being cheaper lets us play more cards per turn, letting us play a card at another location before playing into Morag directly. It definitely helps that Sera is played in the best decks in the game already, making her quite an appealing choice.

Klaw – Best Marvel Snap Morag Cards

Klaw is another card that plays much like Mister Fantastic, letting us add power into another location. He adds 6 Power compared to Mister Fantastic’s 2 Power, being a much more powerful card to push power into Morag. However, he has the drawback of not adding power to Morag when it is on the left-Klaw only adds power to the right.

Wasp (Best Marvel Snap Morag Deck Cards)

The last card on this list is Wasp. Wasp simply adds one power to a location for no cost. This makes her a great setup card to play into Morag as you can play Wasp for free and follow up with your other cards to fill up Morag. Yellowjacket can fulfill a similar role, while contributing an extra point of power.

These are quite a few cards that are good in Morag, but doesn’t mean there aren’t more out there! Experiment with Marvel Snap’s expansive card pool and see what else lies out there, especially when you consider synergies and entire decks.

Pokemon Violet Cinderace Tera Raid Guide: Best Annihilape Build

Posted on December 28, 2022 by Alex Branagan

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s end-game Tera Raid battles are nothing to scoff at, requiring players to train up some serious contenders in their teams if they’d like to take on the likes of an Unrivaled Dragon Charizard. So we’ve put together a guide on how to take the best advantages in the Fighting Tera-type Cinderace event, centering around training up the Fighting and Ghost type Annihilape. This heavy hitter will take advantage of techniques that provide much-needed endurance throughout the fight, including Annihilape’s monstrous Defiant ability and a stacking of its signature move.

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: How to Evolve Primeape into Annihilape

Don’t have your hands on an Annihilape yet? No worries! The method is far from obvious, so here’s a quick rundown on how to evolve Primeape into Annihilape:

Catch a Primeape (Location – West Province (Area One) and (Area Three), near Medali)
Level Primeape to 35 and allow it to learn the move ‘Rage Fist’.
Use Rage Fist 20 times in battle.
Primeape will evolve upon the next level up into Annihilape.

That’s it! You’ll have yourself a brand spanking new Annihilape. Now, let’s get this bad boy sufficiently buff and ready for raids.

Best Tera Type, Ability, and Moveset for Annihilape

The best moveset for Annihilape for the Cinderace Tera Raid battle. — The ideal moveset and best ability – Defiant.

Let’s talk typing first: Annihilape is naturally a Fighting primary and Ghost secondary type, meaning its Tera Type will be Fighting only. We want a Ghost Tera typing for the Cinderace Tera Raid. To do that, head to Medali’s Treasure Eatery and speak to the staff member behind the counter, they’ll change the Tera type for 50 Ghost Tera Shards. Fighting moves are entirely ineffective against Ghost types, so this new Tera type is a major bonus.

The best Ability will be Defiant, so any stat-lowering moves Cinderace may have equipped will immediately jack Annihilape’s attack up. You can swap abilities using the Ability Patch item earned from 6-star raids.

As for moveset, go with this:

Rage Fist
Drain Punch
Bulk Up
Acrobatics

Bulk Up and Drain Punch will act to sustain Annihilape by keeping HP up in the fight while stacking buffs from Rage Fist. Acrobatics is there for an additional super effective move.

Cinderace Tera Raid Guide: Best Annihilape EVs, Nature, and Held Item

Chansey Supply is located in central Mesagoza

For EVs, you’ll want to pump HP and Attack with any remainder in Defense. You’ll need:

26 Protein
26 HP Up
1 Iron

If you don’t have the money to get instantly swole, you can farm fights using the Power Weight item for HP EVs and Power Bracer item for Attack EVs instead.

As for nature, we’re aiming for Adamant on Annihilape, increasing Attack and reducing unnecessary Special Attack. You can buy an Adamant Mint if needed from the same Chansey Supply where you’ll find your supplements.

To round it all off with a Held Item, we want a Sitrus Berry, a simple but effective heal to keep Annihilape’s HP up.

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Cinderace Tera Raid Guide: Counter Strategy

The time has come, and the battle is nigh. The 7-star Unrivaled Cinderace Tera Raid looms before you, a towering, infernal menace. It also just insulted your Annihilape’s anime-looking fringe. What are you gonna do about it?

In terms of counter strategy, here’s the general play-by-play:

Open with Bulk Up to get your Attack and Defense up.
Use Drain Punch next to recover HP and deal damage.
For turns 3~4: Use Acrobatics when the Sitrus Berry is consumed for Super Effective damage.
- If the berry hasn’t proc’d yet, just Drain Punch again.
Terastallize into Ghost type and use Rage Fist, which will be at maximum damage if you’ve been taking multiple hits from Cinderace already.

And that concludes our guide on the Best Annihilape Build for the 7-star Cinderace Tera Raid in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Good luck taking down this menace!

‘McPixel 3’ Plot Praised for Finally Exploring McPixel’s Irish Heritage

Posted on December 28, 2022 by Kevin Flynn

IRELAND — Game developer Sos Sosowski is being praised by Irish cultural groups around the world for the recent release of McPixel 3, a game which finally explores the Irish heritage of its title character.

“For years we have yearned for more explanation about the origins of McPixel’s family name and the history that comes with it,” said president of Ireland Michael D. Higgins. “This above all else was the main feedback the public expressed after playing the original McPixel, and finally after a decade of anticipation, we are overjoyed that McPixel is finally getting in touch with his Irish roots.”

Irish gamers say that the news has encouraged them to more firmly embrace their own heritage.

“I’ve never experienced this kind of representation in games before,” said Séan McLanahan, a gamer of Irish descent. “I mean, there’s Moira from Overwatch, Patrick McCreary from Grand Theft Auto IV, and Anna and Nina Williams from Tekken, but that’s pretty much it. None of those characters spoke to me the way that the hilarious McPixel does, so I’m glad to know that his name wasn’t just some silly stylistic choice but a real reflection that he comes from the same background that I do. I’ve never been prouder to be Irish!”

Fans of the series say that they expected this development would eventually happen due to hints placed throughout the series.

“It’s been really clear from the beginning that McPixel is Irish,” said Rory Keene, a frequent contributor to the McPixel subreddit. “I mean, the way he impulsively kicks people in the crotch and constantly pees on things should have been a dead giveaway. It’s nice that they finally added this to the official canon, but the fan canon has been ahead of the curve for years.”

At press time, an emotional Michael D. Higgins announced that McPixel would be granted honorary Irish citizenship in recognition of his cultural contributions to the country.

Hey guess what: this article is sponsored by Devolver Digital. It’s an ADVERTISEMENT for a VIDEO GAME. I hope you’re gasping, because I’m gasping right now. I can barely breath, I just gasped so hard. But McPixel 3…. it does look kinda cool, huh? I’m pissed off right now, as I’m sure we all are, but I’m still probably gonna check out McPixel 3 on Steam because it’s $8 right now. But I’m still mad.

Call of Duty Warzone 2 Best Weapons & Loadouts Tier List

Posted on December 28, 2022 by Tarun Sayal

Picking up the right weapon when you drop into the deadly areas of Warzone 2’s Al Mazrah can drastically increase your winning odds. However, with a dizzying array of over 40 primary weapons available in the game, it’s a time-consuming and daunting task to hand-pick the best Warzone 2 weapons.

Not only this, but pairing the Warzone 2 weapons with the right attachments is also essential to get the most out of these firearms. Since the game has a wide range of attachments, kitting out a mature combination is another major challenge for the players. With that said, we’ll highlight the best Warzone 2 weapons, along with their loadouts as per the current meta.

5. Fennec 45 (Best CoD Warzone 2 Weapons)

The Fennec 45 returns to Call of Duty: Warzone 2 after being featured in the game’s prequel. Fennec 45 is hailed as one of the best SMGs of the Call of Duty franchise which comes with a blinding fire rate and relatively low recoil. On top of that, Fennec 45 has an impressive TTK, which makes the weapon absolutely lethal at close range, especially when kitted out with the right attachments.

Equipping Fennec 45 on the secondary slot is a wise decision if your primary weapon is either a long-range assault rifle or sniper. However, most weapons need to be unlocked before they can be used in Warzone 2, and Fennec 45 is no exception. To unlock the Fennec 45 in Warzone 2, players must rank up to level 38. Once you get hold of the Fennec 45, pairing it with the right attachments is essential to get the most out of it.

Here’s the best Fennec 45 Loadout in Warzone 2 to save your precious time:

Muzzle: AVR-T90 Comp
Barrel: ZLR 16.5″ Ignition Barrel
Underbarrel: Agent Grip
Magazine: Fennec Mag 45
Optic: Cronen Mini Pro

This Fennec 45 loadout improves the weapon’s accuracy, recoil control, and handling, which is what you would expect from one of the best weapons in the game.

4. Lockwood 300

Inspired by Browning Citori 725, Lockwood 300 stands apart from the rest when compared to the other shotguns in the category. With the ability to blast through opponents, Lockwood 300 is your best bet for short-range battles. This break-action shotgun forfeits its ammo capacity for extended range and a tight pellet spread.

Lockwood 300’s best features are its excellence in close-range combat, substantial damage, output, and overall accuracy, making it the ideal weapon to equip in congested zones such as Observatory and Ahkdar Village.

Similar to our previous pick, i.e., Fennec 45, Lockwood 300 needs to be unlocked first before taking it on the Warzone 2’s Al Mazrah map. To unlock the Lockwood 300 Shotgun, you must level up your military rank to level 36. Once you get your hands on on this powerful weapon, the final step is to pair a perfect combination of attachments to outperform your opponents.

Here’s our recommendation for the Lockwood 300 loadout in Warzone 2:

Muzzle: XTEN V2.0 Choke
Barrel: Matuzek 812 Barrel
Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
Guard: Buck-Pro
Stock: Heist Stock Mod

Players are recommended to play aggressively and ambush their enemies to get the most out of this loadout. Also, this loadout improves the mid-range capabilities of the Lockwood 300, so don’t hesitate to use it in the open fields but within a certain limit.

3. M4 – Best Warzone 2 Weapons

The M4 is an iconic assault rifle that can be commonly found across almost every shooting game. The deadly AR is again a powerful gun in Warzone 2 thanks to its versatility and fast TTK. This reliable workhorse is a jack-of-all-trades that performs well in most combat scenarios, which is why it has secured a prime spot in our list of the best Warzone 2 weapons.

A great all-rounder, the M4 has the highest rate of fire among all the Warzone 2 ARs. On top of that, it is an incredibly powerful, accurate, and reliable assault rifle for those who love to play aggressively and boasts a run-and-gun playstyle. The prime advantages that M4 offers over other firearms are countless.

So let’s jump into our M4 loadout recommendation in order to make the weapon as strong as it can possibly be.

The best Warzone 2 M4 loadout attachments are:

Muzzle: XTEN Havoc 90
Barrel: Hightower 20″ Barrel
Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
Ammunition: 5.56 High Velocity
Optic: SZ Holotherm

This M4 loadout plays down recoil and maximizes ADS speed without considerably reducing the damage output. The best part is the weapon is unlocked by default in the game. Therefore, you can use it right away without leveling up your military rank.

2. Victus XMR

Any best Warzone 2 weapons list is incomplete without a sniper, especially when the FPS title has a long-range weapon like Victus XMR. The sniper fires the fastest rounds and has an impressive recoil thanks to its hard-hitting barrel. Victus XMR comes with .50 cal BMG ammunition, and its tungsten sabot-tipped bullets are fast and powerful but require precise shots over long distances.

The weapon is built over the Imperatorium platform, and its magazine can hold five bullets at a time without any attachments. The best part of the Victus XMR, though, is the ability to deal a whopping 275-damage headshot, making it a one-shot down weapon even if the enemy is equipped with the finest armor in the game.

Although the Victus XMR is one of the best Warzone 2 weapons, pairing it with the right attachments is still essential before giving it into the hands of a sharpshooter. With that said, here’s a look at the best Victus XMR loadout:

Muzzle: Bruen Counter-Ops
Barrel: Mack 8 33.5 Super
Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
Ammunition: .50 Cal High Velocity
Rear Grip: Bruen Q900 Grip

This loadout improves the bullet velocity and provides additional firing range to Victus XMR, making the sniper rifle a perfect choice for cracking skulls from a distance.

1. RPK

The extremely powerful LMG, RPK, secures the number-one spot on our best Warzone 2 weapons list. The RPK features a long, heavy barrel, high ammo capacity, and steel receiver, which can sustain full-auto fire without loss in accuracy. The weapon maintains an outstanding balance between damage, accuracy, and handling, which is why you can’t go wrong with this light machine gun.

However, the only way to get hold of RPK in Warzone 2 is by leveling up your military rank to level 41. Therefore, players must spend plenty of time grinding the battle royale or DMZ matches in the game to unlock RPK as quickly as possible.

Once you have RPK equipped as the primary weapon, make sure to get the following attachments installed to fully utilize its potential.

Muzzle: Lockshot KT85
Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
Magazine: 40 Round Mag
Rear Grip: Demo-X2 Grip
Optic: Cronen Mini Pro

This RPK loadout maximizes the overall range, accuracy, and recoil control of the LMG, making it a deadly weapon to pull out in the menacing zones of the Al Mazrah.

That wraps up our detailed guide on the five best weapons in Warzone 2. Before you leave, make sure to check out our guide to unlock the Nuke for an instant Warzone win.

Spy Kids Sent to Destabilize Central American Democracy In Way Over Their Heads

Posted on December 28, 2022 by Naomi Krause

UNDISCLOSED CENTRAL AMERICAN LOCATION — The real life Spy Kids, who inspired a popular series of films loosely based on their exploits, have found themselves way in over their heads after being sent on a mission to overthrow the democratically-elected leader of a Central American country.

“Hm, I really thought they were the ones for the job,” said Donnagon Giggles, an OSS technicians expert who has been involved with the controversial Spy Kids department since its inception. “While it’s true in the past they’ve handled more domestic situations, we felt their continued aptitude for any and all tasks they’ve been given was a sign that they were ready to take on more substantial work. A lot of people believe that spy work is cool gadgets and catchphrases, but it’s actually going into Central American countries and making sure that their leaders are the most agreeable to American corporations. And it’s entirely on us for thinking the Spy Kids were up for that challenge — we’re willing to admit that.”

The Spy Kids were reportedly dispatched to an unnamed Central American country several weeks ago with a mission objective of destabilizing the local currency to protect American interests. The trouble reportedly began almost immediately upon their arrival.

“This is Juni Cortez here, one half of the Spy Kids,” began the only dispatch received from the team thus far. “We were immediately made, detained, and forced to spill information about our operation in exchange for access to water and toilets. I’ve told them most of what I know, and yet, have managed to protect our country’s interests in the drug trade. If you find this message, please look for us in the darkest, coldest corner of this place you’ve sent me and my sister to. Tell my parents I love them.”

“And please,” continued the letter. “Let the Spy Kid program die with us. This has been, to say the least, shiitake mushrooms.”

As of press time, the latest exploits of the Spy Kids had been optioned for a feature, tentatively titled Spy Kids 5: Where Are The Spy Kids?

Gamer’s Child Looks Exactly Like Them But 50% Smaller

Posted on December 27, 2022 by Jon Ruggiero

LUNA PIER, Mich. — Local gamers Rick and Shelby Musgrave welcomed a new child into the world, a boy that looks identical to Rick but is half his size.

“I’ll be honest, we’ve had a pretty rough go of things dealing with this pregnancy the past few months, with my wife having to visit the doctor multiple times and me having to miss the new God of War release,” said Rick a few hours after his wife had given birth. “Things were so bad I was worried our kid was gonna come out looking like when you hit the randomize button in a character creator. Instead, I’m now happily the father of a beautiful baby boy that looks like the result of a machine or magic spell shrinking me somehow.”

When reached for comment, Shelby Musgrave expressed overwhelming joy at the birth of her child, even if he didn’t look exactly how she imagined.

“I’m just in awe looking at him,” said Shelby as she held her newborn in her arms. “He looks so much like Rick. Gosh, he has his same eyes, his nose, his stubble, his shark-tooth necklace and blue flannel shirt. I knew kids shared a resemblance with their parents, but I figured he’d wait a few years to gain a personality and facial features and a full head of hair. And I definitely didn’t expect him to come out fully clothed.”

The couple’s OBGYN Dr. Greg Hoffenauer explained that children like this have become common in recent years.

“Something we have yet to discover about the physiology of a gamer has led to these doppelganger-like births,” said Hoffenauer, who specializes in delivering miniature humans with the proportions of an adult. “If you saw the child walking down the street, you’d think it was a lazy recreation of an actual tiny human. Luckily, the child is perfectly healthy and has no other abnormal issues aside from the fact that it looks exactly like its father but smaller.”

At press time the couple was debating whether they’d spec their child exactly like Rick or try out a new build.

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.

The Witcher 3 Netflix Gear: How to Unlock Forgotten Wolven Gear

How to Unlock Witcher 3 Netflix Gear: Complete “In the Eternal Fire’s Shadow”

Before you can craft the Witcher 3’s Forgotten Wolven Gear, you’ll need to unlock the crafting diagrams by completing the newly added side quest “In the Eternal Fire’s Shadow.” The quest appears at the Devil’s Pit, a previously unused location in the game. It’s suggested that players start this quest at level 15. You’ll wind up venturing into an abandoned mine where you’ll encounter a Witcher named Reinald who is possessed. After defeating him, you’ll have to fight the entity that possessed him.

Once you’ve defeated the Miasimal entity, you’ll have a conversation with Reinald’s spirit. Regardless of the choices, you make during the conversation, you’ll walk away with the diagrams for the Forgotten Wolven Gear.
