How to use all Invocation Perks in Dead by Daylight

Invocation Perks are a special type of Perk added toDead by Daylightwith theAll Things Wicked Chapter. This makes sense because the Survivor that entered the fog with this Chapter is Sable Ward, a close friend of the game’s only other witch, Mikaela Reid. However, Ward’s Invocation Perks work quite differently from anything that’s come before and deserve a proper explainer before they’re thrown into a Trial. All ofDead by Daylight’s Invocation Perks can be considered blood magic or monkey paw abilities....

It’s been nearly a week and no one has cleared Final Fantasy XIV’s new raid tier

It’s a doozy Last week the Unending Coil of Bahamut (Ultimate/Super Savage) was released inFinal Fantasy XIV. The idea, as per the developers, is to provide hardcore players something to do until the next major raid tier drops (4.2) — and I think they’ve succeeded in that goal. While most content at large in any given game is cleared within one or two days by the upper crust, no one in the world has cleared the Unending Coil yet....

We’re leaving January behind in a somewhat subdued fashion, but there’s certain to be something that will catch your eye. Skulls of the Shogunhas caught my eye this week, though lamentably it’s only dropping on platforms I have no access to. Maybe it’s time for me to upgrade to Windows 8?...

Nintendo crushes Bowsette as canon dreams, clarifies that only Toadette can use the Super Crown

‘Sorry Luigi’ I can just imagine the look on Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime’s face as fans and games writers everywhere ask him what he thinks of the Bowsette phenomenon. A faceless rep offered up a “no comment” repose, probably for the best, and now thanks to an official item description on Nintendo’s website, it’s officially addressed in a backhanded kind of way. As most people know “Bowsette” is created when Bowser puts on the Super Crown, transforming him into a princess....

Phil Spencer keeps shuttin’ down idiots

Calmly and politely, of course Head of Xbox Phil Spencer is a man who is always on his PR A-game. He is the pure embodiment of PR, possibly not even human. I could probably be convinced that Microsoft created him in a lab while in pursuit of the perfect creature who never misspeaks. That’s Phil. As such, Phil (we’re on a first-name basis) seemingly gets free rein on Twitter because no one is worried that he’ll say the wrong thing....
