Article 5 - Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege

Image result for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege Logo

Complete mission Article 5 - 50

Article 5 is the 11th Situation which can be played in the single player campaign. Article 5 is different as it sets you up in a multiplayer lobby with 4 other players for the special mission. So right off the bat, you are at a huge disadvantage; firstly most players will want to play it as a single player mission, which is really stupid and selfish. Secondly, 95% of the time no one else will want to use a mic, so your team's cooperation will be at an all time low. Thirdly, some times you'll spend ages even waiting for players to join in the lobby, and once the lobby starts, for the players not to friendly fire or quit. Fourthly, if* you go down, the likelihood of being revived is really low because online players are assholes and think they can take on the rest of the mission alone, spoilers, they can't. Last Point, and this is the most important point, there is a thick, yellow, biohazard haze continuously through the map which makes it really hard to see. If you are using Glaz, you'll be able to see enemies through haze with your Flip Scope. Also the enemies can see you through the haze no matter what, which it unfair.

*when

Anyways, once you are able to get a good team together, you will be tasked by disarming 2 bombs, it is 1 in 5 chance you'll spawn with the defuser, if not, it is best to stick close to the player with the defuser as they are the most important member of the team. As a team, you should slowly move through the building to locate both bombs. I recommend locating both bombs first before attempting to disarm any of them. Once the player with the defuser begins to defuse the bomb, the 60 second timer will begin to count down, bunker down and defend the room to the best of your ability, don't try going Rambo and attempting to shoot everyone in the same clip, crouch down and get a good look across the room towards the oncoming doors, looking for where enemies will begin to pour in from. Once the first bomb has been defuse, kill the last of the oncoming enemies before moving to the second bomb. The same amount of enemies will spawn for the second bomb. Again, be sensible camp down and wait for the oncoming enemies. Once the second bomb has been defuse, the finish will end. If someone goes down while defusing the bomb, make them hold their wounds to stop blood lost and reviving them at the end of the 60 second wave of enemies, otherwise you risk injuring or killing another member of the team.

My preferred team for Article 5:
Glaz
Montagne
Blitz
Fuze
Ash

I like this team as Montagne, Blitz & Fuze are able to protect the team well with their shields; while Glaz is able to spot enemies through the haze with his Flip Scope and Ash is good are causing damage. There is no point using Thatcher as his Poisonous Gas Remote Bombs are useless with the poisonous haze, also all enemies are in biohazard suits so they are immune to the poisonous gas. If you can help it, one of the Shield Wielders takes the Defuser. Have someone keeping an eye out for enemies who decide to sneak up from behind the group. Remember to use the calls; "Flash out", "Moving up", "2 Enemies in the room", etc... Most importantly, remain calm throughout the mission, there is no point going nuts and attempting to one-man rush the house university of enemies, take it nice and slowly.

Once you complete Article 5, you will get Article 5 Weapon Skins and Article 5 Operator Skins.

Article 5 is a reference to The Human Rights Act of 1998; which is about everyone having the right to liberty and security, unless their comment an act of criminal activity and have been lawfully arrested.

Incredibles II (Cinema)
The Incredibles 2.jpg

The Nintendo NES Classic a miniature version of the original console powerhouse, the Nintendo Entertainment System. It comes with 30 Games pre-installed, which have all been digital upgrades to HD making them all look brilliant, the controller is ever so slightly smaller, with a tiny foot of cable, which is a little annoying. The games included are; Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, The Legend of Zelda, The Legend of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link Kirby's Adventure, Donkey Kong, PAC-MAN, Metroid, Mega Man 2, Final Fantasy, Castlevania, Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, Ninja Gaiden, Punch-Out!!, Gallaga, Balloon Fight, Ghosts'N Goblins, Ice Climber, Excitebike, Kid Icarus, Dr. Mario, Donkey Kong Jr, Double Bobble, Gradius, Tecmo Bowl, Super C, Startropic, Double Dragon II: The Revenge.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 follows the multiple stories of; the Guardians of the Galaxy against Kang the Conqueror and Ravonna, Avengers against the Winter Guard, Attuma & the Sinister Six. But it's not just the Marvel Universe you know and love, there are hundreds of characters from various Universes, including the characters; Spider-Man 2099, Planet Hulk & Captain Avalon.

Assassin's Creed Rogue is set in British America, following Shay Patrick Cormac a new assassin of the Colonial Brotherhood. He sets out to get revenge for the Haitian People after Port-au-Prince is struck by an earthquake caused by Assassins attempting to collect a Piece of Eden. He ends up going rogue, and joins the Templars as he is betrayed by his friends and the Creed. He later finds himself in New York City and meets Colonel George Monro. It plays just after AC IV: Black Flag, as it's set around the time of the America Revolution and you get to sail around the oceans like a pirate.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege is another installment to the Tom Clancy series, it's a Multiplayer 6v6 Tactical First-Person-Shooter. You play as the Operators who have been tasked with taking down the White Masks Terrorist Group who plan 7 different Situations; Hostage, Bomb, Secure Area, Tactical Realism, Terrorist Hunt, Situation & Outbreak. In Hostage you are retrieving the hostage, Bomb you are refuse the bomb and Secure Area says what it does on the tin. Terrorist Hunt & Tactical Realism are pretty much the same, but Tactical Realism has no HUD and less ammo. Situation Mode is a 6v6 Death Match and Outbreak sets you against a biohazard treat with zombie like mutated soldiers.

LEGO Marvel Thanos Brick Head is one of four Avengers: Infinity War Brick Heads, I bought Thanos as I have loved Marvel for years before Phase 1, and I remember reading a comic book with Thanos as the main big bad boss. And I just thought that the character development was pretty amazing, either way, Thanos is just one of my favourite villains of all time.

Incredibles II picks up right where the first one film finished, battling the Underminer. After the battle, the Incredibles and Frozone are approached by Winston Deavor, a multimillionaire who owns a telecommunication company, who wants to bring Superheroes back into the light, making them legal again. He plans to charge the public's perception of Superheroes, using Elastigirl. Which forces Mr. Incredible to become a stay at home dad who has to do the most valuable super power, being a good parent.

Image result for Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Logo

Elite Four Champion: Cynthia - Various

Cynthia has 6 Pokemon; Spiritomb, Roserade, Lucario, Gastrodon, Milotic & Garchomp.

Spiritomb
Level: 61
Types: Ghost/Dark
Ability: Pressure
Attacks: Embargo, Silver Wind, Dark Pulse & Psychic
Weakness: N/A
Strategy: With no weakness, you are better off just hitting it with the most powerful attack you have got on a Pokemon which isn't super effective weakness to any of Spiritomb's Moves.

Roserade
Level: 60
Types: Grass/Poison
Ability: Natural Cure
Attacks: Energy Ball, Sludge Bomb, Shadow Ball & Extrasensory
Weakness: Psychic, Fire, Ice & Flying
Strategy: Flying, Ice and Fire Types are you best bet, Roserade is really quick and its moves can counter really well.

Lucario
Level: 63
Types: Fighting/Steel
Ability: Steadfast
Attacks: Aura Sphere, Dragon Pulse, Psychic & Earthquake
Weakness: Fighting, Ground & Fire
Strategy: Ground Types are probably your best bet, especially with something that has Earthquake.

Gastrodon
Level: 60
Types: Water/Ground
Ability: Sticky Hold
Attacks: Muddy Water, Sludge Bomb, Stone Edge & Earthquake
Weakness: Grass
Strategy: If you have a Grass/Ground or Grass/Poison you'll be fine as you'll be immune to Sludge Bomb. A pure Grass Type will struggle as Sludge Bomb will be super effective. If not hit hard with Physical Attacks.

Milotic
Level: 63
Types: Water
Ability: Marvel Scale
Attacks: Aqua Ring, Mirror Coat, Ice Beam & Surf
Weakness: Grass & Electric
Strategy: Milotic will realistically use Aqua Ring on it's first turn to regain small amounts of Health back. Mirror Coat will deal the damage you did back to Milotic, so it would be wise to either hit lots but little or knock it out in one or two attacks.

Garchomp
Level: 66
Types: Dragon/Ground
Ability: Sand Veil
Attacks: Dragon Rush, Brick Break, Earthquake & Giga Impact
Weakness: Ice & Dragon
Strategy: If you have Ice Beam or Dragon Pulse/Dragon Claw you are set, this will be an easy fight. If not, you are in for a world of hurt, hit hard with Sweepers or Bulky Tanks on your team to try and deal a lot of damage or try and soak up the attacks given.

Once you defeat Cynthia, you gt to put your team into the Sinnoh Hall of Fame.

Drift Springs & Dampers - Forza Motorsport 7

Image result for Forza 7 logo

The August Update to Forza Motorsport 7 brought a special treat for the drifters; new Drift Springs & Dampers in the Upgrade Shop & Steering Angle in the Tune Setup Menu.

Firstly, the Drift Springs & Dampers work the same as the Race Springs & Dampers in that they can be lowered to the same height and adjusted in the same way for softness and hardness.

Secondly, increasing the Steering Angle will allow the vehicle to turn the steering wheels further, this helps for controlling drifts. In fact, when using the Drift Springs & Dampers in a race, you can see the noticeable difference of how far your steering can turn. The Steering Angle can be increased from 40 Degrees to a massive 60 Degrees of steering. With the new Drift Springs & Dampers included in Forza Motorsport 7, drifting is going to get bigger and wilder from here on out. Happy Drifting.

How to catch Azelf, Uxie & Mesprit - Pokemon Diamond and Pearl

Image result for Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Logo

Once you  have caught Diagla or Palkia. The Three Lake Guardians will return to their Lake Caves, which allows you the opportunity to catch them.

I recommend buying a bunch of Ultra Balls to help catch the Legendary Lake Guardian Pokemon.

Azelf is in the Lake Valor Cavern, Uxie is in the Lake Acuity Cavern & Mesprit is in the Lake Verity Cavern. As soon as you walk up to Mesprit it will disappear, becoming a Roaming Pokemon. A Roaming Pokemon will teleport from route to route randomly. The best of catch it is to spray a repel, have a Pokemon which is under Level 50, but higher than the wild Pokemon, then run around in the grass, then run into a building or change route. Doing this multiple times until you find the Roaming Pokemon. When you encounter the Roaming Pokemon, you have the chance to do one move or use one item, you are better off throwing a Master Ball or using a move like Mean Look which stops it from running away. You can use the Marking Map Poketch App to see which route is in Mesprit.

Azelf is the Lake Guardian of Willpower. It is a Psychic Type. It is weak to Dark, Ghost & Bug. It has 4 Moves; Confusion, Uproar, Future Sight & Nasty Plot.

Uxie is the Lake Guardian of Knowledge. It is a Psychic Type. It is weak to Dark, Ghost & Bug. It has 4 Moves; Confusion, Yawn, Future Sight & Amnesia.

Mesprit is the Lake Guardian of Emotion. It is a Psychic Type. It is weak to Dark, Ghost & Bug. It has 4 Moves; Confusion, Lucky Chant, Future Sight & Charm.

Mission Impossible: Fallout (Cinema)
Image result for mission impossible fallout poster

Nintendo GameBoy Advance SP is the first "fold-able" portable gaming device Nintendo brought out, it is able to run GameBoy, GameBoy Color & GameBoy Advance games all in colour. Instead of using batteries like the previous GameBoys, it uses a charger like a DS. I gold the tribal edition, all the difference is that you get some black tribal markings on the console, just like the dick head at the bar who is bragging about being to Macora on a "Lad's Holiday" where he got the tattoo done when he was drunk.

Crash Bandicoot is a classic staple in gaming history, it was the bad-ass rival to Super Mario, Spyro and Sonic the Hedgehog. Crash Bandicoot finds himself washed up on a shore of a strange island which he remembers being experimented on by Dr. Neo Cortex; so it is goal to find Dr. Cortex and see what's what. With the N.Sane Trilogy coming out a little while ago, I thought it would be fun to go back and play the original game on the original console.

Pokemon Diamond is one of the two entries first installments into the 4th Generation of Pokemon Games. The game hasn't really changed it's iconic format; you go through the Sinnoh Region, defeating the 8 Gym Leaders and the Elite Four, as well as stopping Team Galactic from summoning Legendary Pokemon to control the world. This is kinda special to me, because Pokemon Platinum was not the first Pokemon game I owned, but it is the first I completed, so I thought it would be nice to go back and complete Pokemon Diamond.

Hot Wheels and Go Pro have collaborated to create the Hot Wheels Go Pro Zoom In. It is specially designed to hold a Go Pro Session Hero 6 & Hero 5 so you can create and record Hot Wheels Track Videos. I'm not into making Hot Wheels Track Videos, but I thought it would be cool to have one as a collector's item.

Mission Impossible: Fallout follows the continuing story of the Impossible Mission Force (IMF), they mission, once partner up with CIA Agent "August Walker", to regain three plutonium cores which were lost by Agent Ethan Hunt in a trade gone wrong. Ethan and August are sent to Paris to gain information about Syndicate terrorist group known as The Apostles, as well as the location of the three plutonium cores, and the location of Solomon Lane & John Lark - leaders of Syndicate and the Apostles. Ethan befriends the White Widow, who agrees to help them get the plutonium cores back; which Ethan partly agrees to and ends up ditching the White Widow's Men so that he can get Solomon Lane and the plutonium cores himself. I thought the film was excellent and the stunts performed by Tom Cruise himself were amazing. I really enjoyed this film and one of the best action films this year. Solid 10/10.

Thank you & Happy Collecting
