The informational website synonymous with early parenthood and 0-5 year old children, katherinerosman.com, has acquired mylifeoftravelsandadventures.com in a deal completed in October of this year.

The acquisition has seen the site expand rapidly into the home crafting and toddler activity category with tens of tutorials, and video guides published through the month of November.

The New MIDA Multi-Tool from Destiny 2: How to get the Exotic Scout Rifle https://masterherald.com/new-mida-multi-tool-destiny-2-get-exotic-scout-rifle/56528/ https://masterherald.com/new-mida-multi-tool-destiny-2-get-exotic-scout-rifle/56528/#respond Mon, 09 Oct 2017 07:08:14 +0000 https://masterherald.com/?p=56528 A popular Scout Rifle from the original Destiny returns a new Mida Multi-Tool.

A popular Scout Rifle from the original Destiny returns a new Mida Multi-Tool. Destiny 2 Mida Multi-Tool is almost the same as the original, it is an Exotic Scout Rifle with advantages that increases speed and keeps radar visible while aiming down sights.

But unlike from the first tool which was a purchase or a random drop, this time the player has to complete a quest or mission before they can unlock it. Many players would definitely dive into it and hopefully the effort and work will be worth it.

This quest also helps the gamers to reach the Destiny 2 max level cap because it scales with whatever level you are currently in. The longer you wait to play the quest, the higher level the weapon will become.

Unlocking the Mida Multi-Tool requires a number of specific steps. Here’s how:

First, you have to acquire the Mida Mini-Tool.  You have to finish the main campaign and reach level 20. Find the sniper, Devrim Kay in the European Dead Zone (EDZ) and fulfill all his tasks and quests then he will reward you with the Mida Mini-Tool which is a Legendary (purple) submachine gun.

Now, go to the Traveler and see the Gunsmith, Banshee-44. You have to complete a Sight, Shoot, Repeat quest. The objective is to take out 50 enemies with precision shoots using a scout rifle and then take out 25 groups of enemies without reloading. Note that the quest may be performed with any scout rifle and can be played during any other activity, so you can practice to play more before heading into the quest.

After you accomplish this task, you have to dismantle five Rare (blue) or Legendary (purple) scout rifles. If you can, stock up early and deposit it into your Vault so you can complete the step as fast and as easy as possible. This is called the Under the Hood quest.

Then go back to Banshee-44 to lead you to the next step which is called The Fall Will Kill You. Equip yourself with the Mida Mini-Tool or any submachine gun of your choice, and kill 50 enemies while airborne which means you must be in the air when then enemy you shoot upon dies. Same with the previous quests, this can also be played during other activities in the game.

Return to Banshee-44 and you can take hold of your new possession, the Mida Multi-Tool. It is precise and swift making it a valuable asset in regular plays and Crucible matches.

If you are more a visual and digital learner, here’s a video from Youtube published by Arekkz Gaming on How to Get a Mida Multi Tool Exotic Scout Rifle Gamplay and Perks.

Meanwhile, some active gamers and hardcore fans claim though that compared to the original game of Destiny, the Mida Multi-Tool in the sequel is the easiest exotic quest in the game and nothing that requires any real test of skill.  The only setback was during when you have to dismantle scout rifles as it may involve a lot time scouting for pieces.

I believe that Mida Multi-Tool despite of its current doubt from the hardcore fans is still the most practical and best weapons in the game. A player could always equip himself with different sets of exotic weapons if he’s not satisfied with the Mida Multi-Tool. What do you think?

Fire Emblem Warriors’ latest trailer has been unveiled by Nintendo at Gamescon 2017. The Fire Emblem Fates characters were Camilla, Leo, Hinoka and Takumi are introduced as new characters in the epic trailer.

In the trailer, it showcases about the two royal families, Nohr and Hoshido, who are in conflict with each other. They temporarily broke a truce to be united and forget about their enmities to defeat the Chaos Dragon who threatens the world.

Take a look on the trailer shown below.

 

 

Nintendo confirmed that the heads of the family, Xander and Ryoma, would appear in the Warriors.

Here are the new characters:

Camilla voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro is Nohr’s first princess. When she fights, she doesn’t let her guard down and is not afraid to show cruelty against her enemies.

Leo voiced by Mamoru Miyano  is Nohr’s second prince. He’s very scholarly and intelligent with fantastic magical tricks. He is an elite who can handle anything that goes his way smoothly.

Hinoka voiced by Kaori Nazuka is Hoshido’s first princess. She is a great warrior who is always truthful and fights by defeating the frontlines.

Takumi voiced by Yuki Kaji is Hoshido’s second prince. He wants others to see his power and acknowledge it. He is somewhat erratic because of his emotional ups and downs.  

There are also new game details in the game’s battle system. It allows you to “pair up” when your character goes near to an ally. This pair up forms the characters in front and backline characters who fight together. When this action happens, a “Dual Attack Gauge” appears. You can fill this gauge up to slice into the enemy’s guard and break into it.

You can also use “Dual Guard” when paired up. When this meter fills up, you can utilize it to completely squash the enemy. When both characters of a pair fill up their Musou Gauges, the “Duo Special Attack” becomes available. This allows them a cooperative special attack. Depending on the pair’s bond, you’ll hear a difference in their lines.

There are various reactions in the trailer as seen on the comments posted in YouTube. Some of them perceive as there is something wrong with Hinoka’s voice. It sounds shrill and a lot different than her deep voice, the fans say.

Koei Tecmo said that Fire Emblem Warriors will feature more playable characters than the first installment of any Warriors-style collaboration. Last month, Nintendo also released a trailer that features characters from Fire Emblem Awakening. Some of these characters were Frederick, Lissa and Lucina.

Furthermore, the game now allows a Lucina and Marth pair up which fans have been clamoring for. In addition, Europe is also getting a special limited edition. Europe’s special edition version of Fire Emblem Warriors’ includes art cards of the characters and a new soundtrack with three-disc to go with the game.

Fire Emblem Warriors will launch on Nintendo Switch and New Nintendo 3DS on September 28 in Japan and October 20 in Europe and in the US.

Nintendo’s Switch, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim due to be released probably in the fall of this year. It will be the first time for Skyrim to be properly playable in transit since Bethesda has revealed the game’s very own handheld. The portable console comes with motion controls and Amiibo support.

Amazon US was advertising the game stating it will be released on November 28 when in fact the actual release date hasn’t been announced yet. It was later changed to December 29. The probable date will hold up for a while until Bethesda announces an official release date. What we’re sure of is that it will definitely launch this year and not “beyond the Holiday”.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was the winner of more than 200 Game of the Year awards. The legendary game, according to Bethesda Studios, allows you to be anyone and do anything in an open-world adventure. Furthermore, as it will now be released on the Nintendo Switch, it allows you to play it anywhere, at home on your TV or on the go.

Take a look on the Nintendo’s Switch, Skyrim new trailer below,

The trailer was revealed during Bethesda’s press event. A Link amiibo was used to drop in a treasure chest. Seemingly contained within was link’s Master Sword, a Hylian shield. It also features exclusive Nintendo content, including special items and armors from games like Legend of Zelda. Now, you can dress up like Link from the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

A demonstration from E3 shows how you can swipe to swing your sword and hold up the other Joy Con to block it. At the same time, players could also use motion controls to air and fire arrows. It was also announced that Skyrim Nintendo Switch will include all the previously add-ons, Dawnguard, Hearthfire and Dragonborn.

Below is the official description of Skyrim Switch from Bethesda,

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for the Nintendo switch includes all-new gameplay features like motion controls for combat and lockpicking, outfits and gear from The Legend of Zelda. Take down enemies with the Master Swprd, protect yourself from Hylian Shield or look heroic in the Champion’s tunic. The Elders Scrolls V: Skyrim for the Nintendo Switch also includes all official add-ons: Dawnguard, Hearthfire and Dragonborn. Plus tap other compatible amiibo to gain additional loot including those from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild series, 30th Anniversary – The Legend of Zelda series, Super Smash Bros. series, and The Legend of Zelda series.

The storyline of the game revolves around The High King of Skyrim that has been murdered. There were alliances formed to claim the throne however amidst the conflict, a far more dangerous, ancient evil is awakened. Dragons have returned to Tamriel who were believed to be long lost to the passages of the Elder Scrolls. The future of Skyrim and the whole empire relies solely as they wait for the prophesized Dragonborn. The Dragonborn is believed to be a hero born with the power of The Voice, and the only one who can stand and maybe tame the dragons.

Are you excited enough to bring Skyrim around wherever you go? We can only wait until an official release date will be announced.

Since 2010, Red Dead Redemption had only been playable on PlayStation and Xbox consoles. A few years after, Rockstar Games will release its sequel and the group RPCS3 is trying to make change to make it playable through PC Emulation. Despite some efforts of emulation teams, it has been proven to be extremely tricky to emulate the game into the PC.

PC and next-gen console players have been requesting the developers to make it available on PC for a long time now. Thanks to the group called RPCS3. They are working to let the PC gamers experience the action-packed game Red Dead Redemption.

RPCS3 posted on their YouTube channel to preview the first time the game was played on the PC. It didn’t go smoothly of course because as it was only the first time. You can’t expect it to run flawlessly immediately. In the video, the demo still kind of needs an “upgrade” since it has a lot of bugs and the graphics are not in high quality because of low frame rates. Nevertheless, the preview is a big jump to PC Emulation.

Check out the video below to watch the preview:

The description of the video says, “Until just a few days ago, ‘Red Dead Redemption’ would only load up to the main menu and show a few frames before hanging. Some persistent users could quickly get in-game from there, but once again it would only show a few frames before hanging. With recent improvements to graphics emulation thanks to Jarves, the game can now continue to run without hanging and we can finally go ingame and control the character.”

Playing as John Marston, previously an outlaw, Red Dead Redemption is set in a fictional scene of the American West and in the borders of Mexico in 1911. It focuses on the American Frontier and its decline. In exchange for the safe return of Marston’s wife and children having been taken as hostages by the government, he needs to kill members of an old gang. It is pretty much like Wild Wild West with a lot of horseback riding, duels and gunfights.

So far, the game is more optimized to load on the Xbox One’s simulated 360. Playing offline is smooth and flawless with no severe bugs however the online portion of the game does not really run impressively and is essentially broken. NPCs like people in the towns, people riding horse and carriage along the roads and enemies in gang hideout don’t spawn that leads to bugs including XP glitching. Sometimes the players’ characters are invisible that doesn’t appear in the game but only on the minimap. And when they do appear in the game, being hit by a gun does not seem to decrease health. Connecting to servers or respawning seems to be almost three times slow.

The players are already calling out to Rockstar Games to fix the problem for the Xbox 360 version where the severe online bugs and glitches started in 2014.

This is only just the beginning as updates and upgrades may be in the future for the emulation. Players just need to be patient as there are promising signs that the game could be finally played on PC.

Get ready first time video game players out there who are fans of DC’s Injustice. New Downloadable Content (DLC) Pack is released for NetherRealm Studio fighting game, Injustice 2. Meet Starfire, a sexy new character unveiled during the Watchtower live stream event of the game last August 8.

The character would be suitable for first time and inexperienced players according to the developers in the live stream. Beginners can play with Starfire who has a smaller move set compared to others and her moves are described as more straightforward.

As the next Queen of Tamaran, Starfire fights to protect the planet she now calls her home. She is also known as Princess Koriand’r who has been exiled to earth being a victim of her fratricidal sister vengeful plot that destroyed their planet.

She has lighting blazing green eyes which is her power to absorb ultraviolet energy and unleash it as green outburst of fire. This is her style of fighting that influences her survival in the game. With her projectiles of green energy, she can also create weapons. In addition to her various basic jab and spin attacks, she could also float above the ground.

Watch a video of a rundown of Starfire’s moves:

The video showed off Starfire’s Shaders which are different costume sets that transform the character’s look, one of which looks like it basically transforms her into her sister Blackfire. The transformation includes the complete look of different hair and fire colors. Her sister was the reason for her exile on Earth and the capture of her planet. Along with the Injustice 2 cast, Starfire also has her own Tournament Shader in black and gold colors.

You may also notice that Starfire may seem faster than any other characters in the game and with her flying abilities it could be difficult to bring her down. Also noted on the video is that Starfire commented about Dick Grayson which implies that it is keeping in line with the modern stories that they were in a committed relationship. Based on this, she might be firmly on Batman’s side after Damien killed Nightwing.

For gamers who own Injustice 2’s Deluxe or Ultimate Editions, Starfire will be available to be purchased on her own and is also available in the Fighter Pack 1 along with Sub-Zero and Red Hood. A total of at least nine characters will be released as DLC for Injustice 2.

Injustice 2 has a character roster of nearly 40 heroes and villains summed up who were characters from the DC Universe. Famous characters are of course Superman, Batman and The Flash. It was just launched in USA on May 16.

NetherRealm’s Ed Boon teased the next fighter pack during its San Diego Comic Con live stream. “Of all the characters we’re going to reveal, we’ll have the biggest ‘wow’ for the last one we’re going to show”, he said. He also added that the announcement video is coming soon.

So, are you ready to explore Starfire’s powers yet?

Splatoon 2 was announced to be released this year on January by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. The game was officially released just last July 21. For the fans of the colorful, quirky and easy to love game, it comes with new weapons and maps! It is much more vibrant and exhilarating if you ask me.

The Splatoon game has been consistently exciting since it was introduced worldwide for the Nintendo Wii U last May 2015. It centers on human hybrids called Inklings that can transform into squid forms. Using ink guns, the players can hide or swim through colored ink sprayed surfaces.

Aside from ink guns, the players could also use different kinds of brush-based weapons or buckets. Its unique platform makes the game more appealing for the players and seemed to be always a blast to play.

Now it returns with Splatoon 2. It introduces us to new maps, weapons and a survival mode called Salmon Run. The classic Turf War is also back where the objective is to cover the most ground with as much paint as possible. A new in-depth story mode also comprises the game with new moves, techniques, bigger bosses and coming up with the right strategy to complete the objectives.

The game features several game modes including single player mode and 4-on-4 online multiplayer. While the multiplayer game is usually the most fun to play, the new single player mode in Splatoon 2 gives the player a fantastic introduction to weapons and creative platforms that they could use in the multiplayer mode.

A new map, Shifty Station, was unveiled by Nintendo for the second installment of the game. But this level will only appear during Splatfest events and won’t be included in the game’s usual stage rotation. It is presumed to debut with the game’s first Splatfest which is on the first weekend of August.

The awaited event will begin at 9PM PT on August 4 and will run for full 24 hours. The competition will revolve around choosing which condiment they prefer the most, mayo or ketchup?

Every time the players enter between Splatfests, they will be inking on a different version of the map since the layout of the map changes each time it appears in the game so it would be more challenging!

One of the new weapons announced by the developers is Splat Brella. Splat Brella is interestingly unique because it can be used in different ways. Brella is from “umbrella” because it acts like it.

Players can protect and shield themselves from the attacks of the opponents. Furthermore, the Splat Brella can also be used to launch attacks on their own. An extra perk of the new versatile weapon is that if you hold the trigger long enough, the umbrella part of it will fire forward and serve as am moving shield.

Also included in this new updates game, you get to meet a new pair of Octolings! Pearl and Marina are Splatoon’s 2 freshest new sounds. During Splatfests, the common square lights up and music booms through the streets starring the new octolings. The pair seemed goofy and ready to entertain the players.

splatoon 2Splatoon 2 is simple and maintains its entertaining quality to survive minor problems within the game. A stream of updates however is needed to keep the fans hooked for long. It is getting more appealing by the month and an absolute essential if you’re a video game player.

There is now a level editor for Super Mario 64! The release of Super Mario Maker for Wii U in 2015 stimulated a wave of fan-built editors. Super Mario Maker is exclusively 2D but the possibility of a 3D version level editor has now been leaked. Compared to the classic Zelda Maker (RIP) and Mega Man Maker, Super Mario 64 is a ROM hack and needs an emulator. It also uses the classic Nintendo 64 contoller which may become a problem for other gamers.

Super Mario 64 modder, Kaze Emanuar has created an intuitive level editor for the game. Although Nintendo hasn’t commented anything about releasing a 3D version level editor, but now it seems more likely since a ROM hack has been released through YouTube.

The hack is basically to choose scenes or environmental elements, station them wherever you want and then rump, jump and play. It also allows you to place any transformational items, change their size and dimensions and then test out the stages in the 3D world that you built. You can even save it as a file and then share it online! Now the world’s getting really smaller. It might not be as stylish and spotless but it actually looks impressive.

A video is shown below to present to you how it works. Instructions on how to utilize the hack is also posted in the description of the video in Youtube.

Super Mario 64 set the standards for the 3D platform design upon its release. Unlike previous Mario games, it offered many different tasks inside each level.

In the early 1980s, Nintendo was trying to break into an expanding market of the arcade games in North America. They developed a game called Radar Scope that barely sold at all. In need for something new to break through the American market, Nintendo’s President Hiroshi Yamauchi agreed to reprogram the useless Radar Scope cabinets by the insistence of his son-in-law Minoru Arakawa.

Gunpei Yokoi, creator of Game & Watch series, together with Shigeru Miyamoto, a graphic artist were tasked to do the job. Miyamoto, who was not a programmer, had never designed a game in his life thought of a story first before starting the gameplay. It was probably the first time in the history of video games that the story came first before the gameplay.

There, they created Donkey Kong, a gorilla kidnapping Lady and a “Jumpman” trying to save the lady in distress. The main character, “Jumpman” could move left and right, climb ladders and jump over obstacles from one platform to another.

It was a lot different from any other video games at that time. When the creators from Japan presented it in Seattle, it didn’t really catch on to them. But, the game was mixed with drive, passion and art, it became a huge success.The name Mario wasn’t in the game until a landlord of the headquarters’ warehouse demanded rent from the distributors. Guess the name of the landlord? Yup, Mario Segali.

Until this modern times, Miyamoto’s creation of the Super Mario Bros. platform have been the benchmark of almost all video games out there. Super Mario has so many versions and now modders and fans could create and hack their own levels.

Content in this product may not be appropriate for all ages, or may not be appropriate for viewing at work. Continue?

Once you come across this kind of warning, a thing or two enters your mind. It could be violent, harsh, cruel or savage. It is Dead by Daylight.

Dead by Daylight is a multiplayer (4 versus 1) thrilling video game where a player takes the role of an unforgiving and brutal Killer and the other four players as Survivors. Escaping the Killer, avoiding being caught and killed is the main object of the Survivors. Death is not an escape. It is the game’s ultimate theme.

A new chapter, titled HALLOWEEN will be released around in August 2017 and will surely make your Halloween more gruesome and frightening.

Dead by Daylight will introduce its gamers to Michael Myers. The name doesn’t sound that creepy, does it? But imagine someone whom you thought you know with a very normal name is a deadbeat killer inside. Or that next door neighbor who seemed so nice but turned out to be a ruthless obsessive killer?

Michael Myers is a familiar face who hides behind a mask. The only humanity left inside him is hidden behind it. He focuses only on one thing. That is killing. He practically enjoys seeing the eyes of his victims lifeless. There is one thing that can soothe him though – more killing. His power is called EVIL WITHIN. When he starts to obsess, it tags the Survivor that changes the chances of survival. Through his obsession he plans, schemes, stalks, and chases his prey.

Evil Within has two phases. In the first phase, the Killer (Michael Myers) has skills that can detect more closely and intensely but is still weak and slow. By tagging and staring obsessively at survivors, it progressively fills a gauge and when full, enters the second phase. In this phase, the Killer loses the increased detection skills but is faster and more powerful.

Three Perks come with the Killer, all revolving around his Obsession.

  • Save the Best for Last – the usual time to wait between the attacks is decreased as long as the obsession is alive
  • Dying Light – once an obsession is killed, it increases its healing and rescuing actions and a penalty for the other Survivors’ to their repair, healing and sabotage speed
  • Play with your Food – every time the Killer teases and taunts the obsession, he will get faster. When the obsession’s escaped, the Killer’s movement speed increases.

The protagonist in this chapter is the Laurie Strode, a part-time babysitter and a student. She lives a simple ordinary life in the suburbs but her strength and resilience are tested in a chase by the Killer.

Same with the Killer, Laurie Strode has some perks too.

  • Sole Survivor – each survivor killed rattles the Killer’s ability to read auras. But with each survivor killed, increases your chances to be the Killer’s obsession until you remain as sole survivor
  • Decisive Strike – can only be used once per match, you stab the killer with whatever is in your hand in the last attempt to escape. When grabbed, there’s a skill-check to automatically escape the Killer’s grasp and stun him

Halloween DLC

Included in the new chapter with the characters is a new map, The Haddonfield. It is a new arena that resembles a suburb with structural designs. It used to be a calm and serene place until Michael Myers. No more midnight strolls with your friends or dog. Instead there’s a new place that formed after eventful killings and destructions.

Firaxis Games announced in June that a new expansion, War of the Chosen, would be coming to XCOM 2 later this year.

It was first announced at this year’s PC Gaming Show at E3 2017 that the new content pack will launch on PC on August 29 via Steam.

According to the developer Firaxis, the expansion was the result of “wanting to build something massive” at the studio.

The main enemy in this installment will be The Chosen. They are a race of aliens that are determined to wipe out humanity. If you fail to kill them immediately then they will seek revenge on the players. This will make the game even more exciting for players.

War of the Chosen will also present new groups and factions. They will change the way how battles progress and how the players achieve victory.

XCOM designer, Jake Soloman, told Polygon that the DLC which will launch on August 24 will apparently boasts enough content to “form the basis of a sequel.” He further explained that while the quantity of content for the sequel will be present, it would also “require an entirely new narrative.”

According to PlayStation Lifestyle, the new features will include:

New Factions & Hero Classes – Three additional factions – the Reapers, Skirmishers and Templars – each with its own Hero class.

The Chosen – A deadly new enemy force that will kidnap, interrogate and kill XCOM’s soldiers. They can even invade the strategy layer and ravage XCOM’s global operations.

New Alien and Advent Threats – Adopt new tactics to counter a deadly new alien known as the Spectre, the explosive attacks of the ADVENT Purifier, and the psionically charged ADVENT Priest.

New Environments and Mission Objectives – Players can engage in wide-ranging tactical missions, from abandoned cities devastated by alien bioweapons during the original invasion, to underground tunnels and xenoformed wilderness regions.

Enhanced Strategy Layer – Manage relations with factions while countering enemy operations from the Avenger.

Greater Customization & Replayability – Soldiers cultivate bonds with compatible teammates for new abilities and perks, while the SITREP system dynamically adds new modifiers to the tactical layer to make sure every missions provides a unique challenge.

ARK Xcom2 DLCChallenge Mode – New regular community challenges that rank players on a global leaderboard.

War of the Chosen will be releasing on PS4, Xbox One and PC this summer on August 29.
