Skkra recommends… screen savers!
In the modern age, a lot of people have given up on screensavers. Well, not us. Every writer here at skkra.net has a screen saver. We display them proudly on our screens here at 17 Skkra Plaza. In fact, there isn’t a single person here in Skkra Towers who doesn’t use a screensaver. These things…

Skkra recommends… Red Alert!
Some friends were talking about Red Alert recently, and I felt like it was worth mentioning here. Red Alert was released in 1996, and was one of my favorite real time strategy games, rivaling the original StarCraft. There are only 2 factions instead of 3, but they both play extremely differently and are a blast…

Wor Wednesday #5: The Wizard
Well, the game is called Wizard of Wor. So lets talk about the final boss of a level that you may face: The Wizard. The Wizard can appear in any level after level 1, though it is insanely rare to see him in level 2, and fairly rare to see him in level 3. Starting…

Wor Wednesday #4: The Worluck
Well, another Wednesday, another Wor Wednesday! We’ll take a day off from enjoy amazing fight scenes to get back to what really matters in life: Wizard of Wor high scores. This week, lets discuss the first of the two “boss” enemies. Fist off, the Worluck. The Worluck does not make an appearance on the first…

Wor Wednesday #3: More early positioning
Last Wor Wednesday, I went over the basics of positioning for the early maps. Today, we’re going to go over the remaining early maps to discuss strategy. You’ll see commonality between these in how you want to secure a spot on the map, but we’ll go over strats for each of these. This is one…

Wor Wednesday #2: Position
We reviewed the basics of Wizard of Wor last Wednesday. This week, lets start exploring the early maps and go over positioning. There are two different map rotations in Wor: the early maps (levels 1-7) and the Worlord Dungeons (8+). There are probably about a dozen different early maps, and the ones you’ll play each…

Skkra recommends… Hearthstone Classic!
I absolutely loved Hearthstone for many years, and played it hardcore for a good half a decade. By the time I made my final Standard mode finish at Legend in December of 2019, however, I was about finished with the game. Randomness has always been a part of Hearthstone’s design, but I always felt that…

Wor Wednesdays #1: Basics
Here we go! Wor Wednesday #1. Lets begin by talking about absolute bare basics that are important to know about the game. Before we begin, I’m going to go under the assumption that you’ve played the game once before and thus understand the gameplay. It’s pretty straightforward: move around the board avoiding the monsters, and…

Skkra recommends… Maxroll!
Last week, I talked about how damn good Diablo 2 Resurrected is. This week, I wanted to give you a great companion website: https://maxroll.gg/d2/ Maxroll is, in my opinion, the best D2R resource on the internet. You can do absolutely everything here. There are guides for almost anything you want to know about, giving you…

Skkra recommends… Mortal Kombat 2011!
Mortal Kombat 2011, also known as MK9, is the greatest modern Mortal Kombat game. This game was a return to the classic 2D-style Mortal Kombat gameplay, and was made specifically to be a competitive fighting game. MK had had years of mediocre-at-best 3D games. Lackluster graphics, uninspired and often broken gameplay, and horrific balance were…
