How to Create a Tilemap Spritesheet for Construct 2 & 3
When creating a game in Construct 2, where tiles are being used, such as a platformer, top-down shooter or RPG game, using a tilemap becomes extremely useful and is the best and easiest way to go about it. Without a tilemap, you would have to create an object instance of the tile, and then make multiple instances of that object by clicking and copying, or holding CTRL, then click and drag to copy. Placing the tiles this way can become very time intensive.

How to Make 'Fallout 4' a More Deadly and Interesting Experience
Fallout 4 came out three years ago and I for one am still playing. I have loved the franchise since I first laid hands on it with Fallout 2 on my old XP office computer back in 2001. The unique world has always been in my top 3 picks of fantasy universes, the mix of wasteland grime and new world technology and the ability to explore it all... An absolute winner. Of course no game can ever be perfect right off the shelf and oh boy does Fallout 4 have its issues, but I felt it was lacking in the several ways. Enter the Nexusmods community. Modding has changed the way I play games and Nexusmods has made it so much easier to completely overhaul the feel and gameplay of most if not all of Bethesda's intellectual properties.

Ways to Make an Interesting House in 'The Sims'
Oh, the Sims. A franchise that began in 2000 and has created years of creativity and imagination for people all over the globe. With its quirky characters and home design system, I have personally been able to live out my fantasies or create plain chaos for my sims. My sim can be poor or live in a mansion with 7 cats, be a superstar, or live a single, party lifestyle while attending university or traveling to the local club meeting supernatural creatures. Anything is possible. One of my favorite aspects however has been that I can design a home in any way that I would like. Motherlode and Rosebud always come in handy when you are desiring that marble hot tub and stereo system... if only real life were like the sims! haha. Within this post, I would like to share photos of some of my favorite home designs that I have created within my game as this game has allowed me to spark an interest in interior design and architecture {whether it is realistic or to the extreme).

PlayStation Network Hacked?! Here's How To Prevent Such A Thing Happening To You
Did the title get your attention? Good, because it should have. A hacker group has claimed responsibility for the PlayStation Network outage. The disruption lasted from 2–3 hours for some, a lot longer for others. A large number of network users also said their accounts had been hacked as a result, which seems like it wasn't just a distributed denial-of-service, but worse — an actual cyberattack.

Want to Save Big on 'Destiny 2', 'Star Wars Battlefront II', and 'Call of Duty: WWII'? Here's How.
The cost for a full video gaming experience isn't cheap. Many fans of franchises such as Destiny, Call of Duty, and even Star Wars Battlefront can tell you that their experiences won't be cheap when the sequels launch this year. Fans gearing up for the release of Destiny 2 can already tell you their past experience with 2014's Destiny was expensive, setting most fans back a solid $170 dollars before taxes.
