Batman Knightfall: Part 1 Knightfall

Image
Knightfall Blu-Ray WARNING: This article assumes you already know the sequence of this story arc. If you are not familiar with Knightfall then there will be spoilers! Batman: Knightfall (Knightquest & Knightsend) was one of the largest, most extensive crossover story arcs in Batman history, spanning nearly 2 years from 1993-1994. Knightfall follows Bane's wearing down of Batman and Azrael's takeover of the mantle. Knightquest follows Azrael's crusade against crime as the new Batman as well as Bruce Wayne's road to recovery. Knightsend closes things off with Azrael becoming controlled and warped by the System and Bruce Wayne retakes the mantle. Batman #497 The animated movie(s) compiles the highlights of all of these issues along with tidbits of the prologues from Batman: Vengeance of Bane and Batman: Sword of Azrael . The first part covers mostly the prologues + Knightfall comics with some changes that accelerate the storyline for a movie format. Visuals I've ...

DCUO: Episode 54 Gallery

Well, Episode 54: Wrath of the Worldkillers is having a rough launch. The starter mission seems super tedious even without the constant disconnects. The daily and weekly routines look to be less than optimal at the moment. We've had good and bad episodes, but one thing that improves or maintains is the graphics/art. So here are some early screenshots of the new episode to look at while you disconnected! Alyssa & Supergirl vs Diasporans - These new adds look like recolored white Martians, which in turn look a little bit like Mewtwo!   Supergirl, Reign & Alyssa in the starter mission Opposite shot of the Mewtwos - They doo look a little weird because the body animates like any humanoid character, but the tail doesn't move. Joining up with Voivode and Raven - This is the first time we're seeing Voivode with her new dark powers. HOL Bot Form Change - This is probably the worst part of the starter mission because it runs a little bit longer than it should. The loadout i...

DCUO: New Episode Prep

Image
  Episode 54: Wrath of the Worldkillers Here are a few things you can do just before a new episode launches to a get a jump on things when the servers come back up: Exobytes for Origin Augments Moves these stacks over to your main characters or shared bank so that you can max out before you enter the new episode missions. You should have had plenty of salvage from from the life of the previous episode to max out several if not all of your alts. I personally like to keep my elite affinity. Except for a few parts, I don't even swap my armor until I have enough to buy the next full elite set. So I'm salvaging nearly all drops from the start of a new episode. Pristine Exobyte Stacks Perfected Exobytes You should get 4 of these with a Legendary Membership through the life of an episode. It's better to save them than to use them as you get them. This type of exobyte is unique because you can allocate them to either the Origin Augments OR the Episode specific ones. The reason for ...

DCUO: Argo Exploration

Image
  This is a visual walkthrough of the Shadow over Argo exploration feats in one take. There are 5 monuments to visit along with the random placement of the Rock of Eternity pet.  The five monuments are in the center and 4 corners of the map, but they are varying heights and can be hard to find as other buildings block them. They are large blocks with an empty sphere shape in the middle. You must go inside the sphere of each to get credit. The pet Rock of Eternity is along the way and not nearly as hidden as other episodes. Good luck!

DCUO Skill Point Goals

Image
Skill points (SP) in DC Universe Online unlock weapon combos, movement abilities, and critical stat bonuses. You earn 1 skill point for every 100 feat points collected through in-game achievements, styles, and collections. One skill point is awarded for every 100 feat points earned. You can earn feats by completing missions and tasks, collecting items and sets, fighting in a certain way and repeating things that have a counter. Each feat gives a different amount of points: 1 Star = 10 Feat Points 2 Star = 25 Feat Points 3 Star = 50 Feat Points 4 Star = 100 Feat Points DC Universe Online is now 15+ years old and as the game's content grows, so do the skill points available to earn. How many you need will always have varying opinions and there is no hard requirement that locks you of of any part of the game. But there are some numbers that can be used as good guidelines to strive for. This article will center mostly on a new account starting from level 1... NOT an existing account ...

Budget Gaming PC Gem

The Lenovo ThinkStation P320 is typically a corporate small form factor desktop PC from ~2017. This particular model that I got off of the Amazon used market has the following specs: Intel Core i7-7700T (7th Generation), 4 cores 2.9 Ghz clock speed 16 GB RAM 512 GB SSD NVidia Quadro P600, 2 GB VRAM Windows 11 Pro OEM (~$100 of the value) It is currently listed at $300. I got it during a short weekend dip for $258.  DCUO or Equivalent Game The spec that stands out to gamers here is that it has a dedicated NVidia graphics card. Systems like this typically do not! With DCUO being a 2011 game, the specs for this system, despite being 9 years old are overkill. It can run DCUO at full screen and all of the max settings. At 16 GB, the RAM is a little low and that is probably the factory default. It can be configured for 32 GM and 64 GM if needed. DCUO is currently about 53 GB and growing with each episode, so a 512 GB SSD is much more than needed.  Small Form Factor With a 7x7" footp...
