Fortnite Big Bang Event

What a ridiculous letdown. Especially after all the build-up. Last season's end with Fracture was lame but at least there was things to DO and some story stuff happened. Let's start with the build-up. As is standard, there was a special event at a specific time, in this case 1p, my time, CST (all times CST). I logged in a half hour early, which was the suggested lead time from Epic, and was greeted with a queue wait, of 90 minutes. I let it go, thinking maybe it would jump ahead faster, but nope. 1 pm came and went. Eventually,…

Sky: CotL – Without a Cape aka “Hard Mode”

I have been setting up a couple of secondary accounts on Sly, to send Hearts to myself, because you need a zillion hearts and there isn't any reliable way to accumulate them with any speed. Even having alts, it's slow as heck. With the Steam version of the game, this is a lot easier to do, especially since I have several machines capable of running the game. Ideally, I might automate this task, but for now, I am fine with doing it manually. I probably won't do it consistently either since sending hearts takes 3 candles, which are easy to…

Fortnite Desperately Needs More Preset Slots

There are currently 100 slots available. Given the sheer number of items available there really needs to be a larger limit. Each battle pass has 7-8 new skins added, each with different styles and colors, which can drastically change the skin enough that it's basically two skins. One could easily want several pre sets for the same skin. This doesn't even get into buying skins from the shop. I like to change skins a lot and I have a lot of pretty alright set-ups. I really wish I could have more though. It's easy enough to change skins, but then…

Sky: CotL Guide Part 7 – The Eye of Eden

The Entire series can be found on this page. The end of everything lies in the Eye of Eden. I'm going to throw out plenty of spoilers in this page, and I recommend doing Eden blind the first time through. It wraps up everything in a nice, somewhat unexpected way that works better not knowing. I will give some spoiler free advice first though. Eden resets once a week. You can make as many Eden runs as you want, but the final bit only works once a week, and resets I believe on Sunday or Monday. Bring a stock of…

Sky: CotL Guide Part 6 – The Vault of Knowledge

The Entire series can be found on this page. The Vault is the final zone before reaching Eden and the end. It's arguably the most important "lore" zone, less so from the lore it's telling, and more the lore it represents, as a library of memories. It's also sort of a gateway between the world and Eden. It's actually a very simple zone, but also extremely tedious to navigate through. There are almost no real threats in this zone either. Unlike the previous zone, there is no social area at the start. Or at least, no way to go and…
