Main Causes of VR Simulation Sickness and Ways to Avoid It
VR has become popular among gamers since it was first introduced because it gives them a more immersive playing experience, and there is a plethora of choices from which they can choose. While it’s not in everyone’s price range, VR can make you feel as if you’re in the game itself. As a lifelong gamer, the idea is exciting, but the hefty price tag is enough to bring me back to my senses. I would also need to have a beast of a PC to run it.

What Is an Achievement Hunter and How to Become One
An achievement hunter is a person on Xbox who hunts for something called achievements. Achievements are in every Xbox game that comes out. Every time a game is released the achievement list for the game is always released first so that Xbox achievement hunters can know what they're up against before the game is released, kind of like giving a gamer a small look at what the game is gonna be like before it is released to the public. If you were to go to a website, for example, TrueAchievements.com, they will display a list of all of the latest achievement lists revealed. People are then able to see if the game is going to be easy to complete or if it is going to take some time to complete and grind some of the achievements, for example, lego games. Lego games are the main games that are known for taking their time to grind achievements, because of the grinding you have to do to in order to collect studs in the games.

Oh, Guardians of the Galaxy, how I love you. From the best Vin Diesel role of all time - I think a huge key here was covering him up with a CGI tree suit and only giving him three words to say - to the rocking soundtrack I have on repeat, it’s a seriously underrated movie that you can watch again and again. Not surprisingly, there are a lot of cosplayers out there who’ve made it their job to flawlessly recreate the characters. From Gamora to Groot, here are some of the best Guardians of the Galaxy cosplays from around the web. Try these on for your next con or save an especially challenging one for Halloween next year.

Adding Height In Cosplay
Height. It’s one of those things you can’t really do much about in cosplay, isn’t it? You can turn into a purple alien, a lizard person, or a cyborg through the use of makeup, you can get your werewolf or elf on with prosthetics, and you can drive people up the wall with your Waluigi vocal imitation, but you can’t get from 5'6 to 5'11 without throwing on a pair of six-inch heels and going as the stripper version of your character.
