How to Build Tyler Durden in the 'Pathfinder' RPG
There are all kinds of rumors about Tyler Durden. They say no one knows what he looks like, because he's always having plastic surgery to change his face. Some people say he was born in a mental institution, and that he only sleeps a few hours a night. Some call him a madman, while others think he's a genius. The father of Fight Club, and the visionary behind Project Mayhem has many mouths, and seems to be everywhere at once.

How to Get Started Painting Miniatures for Tabletop RPGs
One of the things that is hard to miss at any Dungeons and Dragons game is the miniatures (sometimes called a "mini"). They play an important role in most styles of gameplay. If you have read “How to Get Started Playing Dungeons and Dragons,” I alluded to miniatures as "miniature figurines used to mark one's place on the map or battle grid." There is a variety of prepainted miniatures available for purchase or capable painters willing to paint one of your choice. Many players view buying and painting their first mini as a milestone in the hobby. Finding the perfect miniature for their character and painting it themselves is a source of great pride and the figurine itself becomes a memento of those good times with your friends.

'The Letter' Collector’s Edition
I’ve written quite a lot about this Horror Visual Novel since I started playing it last year. The year has gone so fast within a blink of an eye and The Letter will have celebrated its first birthday. The Letter is set in the fictional British City of Luxbourne and where a Letter and a terrifying ghost (affectionately nicknamed Cuddles by the fandom and devs) causes havoc. It stands out from a lot of visual novels with full English voice acting, animated CGIs and QTEs.

Gamer Sexism. Top Story - July 2018.
Gender stereotyping and sexism, particularly in gaming, are two common problems throughout the gaming community. Most females within the gaming community have experienced such animosity when playing video games online. Consequently, there is major controversy over whether video games have a gender problem. I argue that video games do have a gender problem. Therefore, gamers, male and female, and non-gamers need to become aware and educated about the issues of harassment and sexism in online gaming. To address these issues, I will provide examples from my own gamer experience and those of other female gamers, as well as that of a game enthusiast. I will also provide statistics revealing the increase of online female gamers and the benefits of a male gamer.

Just What Makes 'Mortal Kombat' so Special?
Back in 1992, Mortal Kombat hit the scene so hard it straight up decapitated it and ensured that Kombat with a K would be remembered forever. That's not to say the series is without some serious missteps, but unlike Sonic the Hedgehog, there's no question as to why Mortal Kombat has endured to this day. As co-creator, John Tobias, once said, “It'll be around 50 years from now.” Tobias might not be attached to the property any more, but he's still right. If you'll stay and read a moment, I'd like to outline just what makes this bloody game so bloody special.

'Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning'
Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning is a horror game based off of a school. In this game, your teacher, Baldi, has you answer problems by collecting seven notebooks. Every notebook has three problems. The last problem is one that is unsolvable. You cannot answer this question right, therefore causing Baldi to chase you around the school smacking a ruler. The more problems you get wrong, the faster he gets. As well as him being a threat to you winning the game, there are other characters such as "Playtime" or "The Principal of the Thing." Playtime will go around the school, wanting to play with you. If she catches you, you will have to jump rope, forcing you to be stuck in place. The only way to escape this is to find the scissors and cut the rope. The Principal of the Thing goes around the school and once he catches you, sends you to detention. The more often he sends you to detention, the more time in there increases. This helps Baldi end your game. If you do get all seven notebooks, everything will turn a red shade and Baldi will yell at you to get out. You'd have to collect the lock and escape through the yellow door. There are other things you should know about like BSoda or an Energy Flavored Zesty bar. These items help you win the game a lot easier. Using BSoda will help you push Baldi away. When you use it, it will emit a purple blob that will shoot at Baldi and push him away. This definitely makes it a lot easier for you to collect notebooks. The Energy Flavored Zesty Bar refills your stamina and lets you go around without losing any energy. Baldi can also track you do if you ever do escape from him and he cant find you. He will go around the school looking for you, and if you open a door he can track you from that too. There are also items helpful in the game like WD-NoSquee. This items prevents Baldi from hearing a door open or close and can be used four times. This item is found in the janitors closet. There are plenty of items that are helpful to the game, but I am not going to talk about them. There are a couple of characters who have no description, such as Friend. This character is only mentioned in the How To Play. This character is unseen, and apparently needs the protagonist (you) to collect all seven notebooks. Another character with no description is Filename2. This character is said to be corrupted. He can be found in Baldi's office after you complete the secret ending or he can be heard in the normal end screen. Filename2 tells you to delete the game; by doing this he breaks the fourth wall. There is a poster in one of the halls saying, "No fourth wall breaking." There are also modes in the game, such as endless mode. This mode, as it says, goes on forever. In this mode there is a high score system that tells how many notebooks the player has collected. There are more characters, such as "Gotta Sweep," who is the janitor. This character is a giant realistic broom, which actually has better graphics than most other characters in the game. This character can be helpful or harmful as he can push you toward characters such as Playtime, Baldi, or Principal of the Thing, but he is helpful when he pushes you away from those characters. While doing these actions he repeatedly yells, "GOTTA SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP!" And that's all you need to know about Baldi's Basics in Education in Learning!!!
