The name can be very deceiving and I honestly don’t know how the creator chose this name, but nonetheless it is a alternate search engine to Google. They pride themselves on being privacy focused and never saving your search data. This means if you are worried about how Google is handling user data then switching to DuckDuckGo may be a suitable alternative. It has all of the features of Google, like being able to convert inches into centimeters, local weather report, and just being a calculator. The search results that you get from both search engines can be a bit different. It seems that DuckDuckGo takes your searches on more literal terms. This is not a bad thing and can even give you better results. DuckDuckGo also has a feature that is called a ‘bang’ search. Basically if you put an exclamation point and then a websites name, or the shorten version, then the search term DuckDuckGo will simply take you right to that website and perform the search. This means if you put in !w, shortcut for Wikipedia, and then the phrase search engines then it will take you straight to the Wikipedia page for search engines. They have most of the popular websites set up to use ‘bang’ search, even google. That is right if you switch to DuckDuckGo and still can’t find what you need you can easily just do !g and whatever you want to search for and it will automatically use Google to search. This means there is no real downside to switching to DuckDuckGo since you can easily get searches from Google if the ones DuckDuckGo provides are not to your liking. Although I have been using DuckDuckGo for my searching needs and there have been very few times where I needed to switch back to Google to find something.

Yu-Gi-Oh The Falsebound Kingdom (Walkthrough)
Here is another walkthrough that I created long ago. Hopefully it will help someone out there who is on a replay kick of old games.
Walkthrough of Yugi’s campaign
After starting Yugi’s campaign, you see a brief story about what happens. When you become trapped in the game, one of your marshals, Shimon, explains the rules to you. I suggest you do nothing to your teams since Yugi’s team is currently the strongest team you have.
Mission 1: War Campaign
For this mission, bring only Shimon as your other marshal. First send Yugi to Phedon, then Shimon to Ruthum. Make sure Yugi arrives at Phedon first and then wait until the Officer arrives at Phedon and defeat him with Yugi. After that send Yugi back to Jakhud if you want a roaming monster. If you get the roaming monster send him strait to Makhad and even if you do not then you still need to send him to Makhad. You will meet Silver Fang along the way and you have to defeat him if you want him to join your party. Finally defeat Etos and then Blackland Fire Dragon comes to your side.
Mission 2: Fury of the Empire
Before the next mission get rid of Kuriboh in Yugi’s team and replace him with Blackland Fire Dragon. The first thing you do in this mission is take over Watthu with Yugi. Then you can find the roaming monster in the forest. After that take over all the bases except Ashton for more gold and experience. Finally take over Ashton and Tristan will join you.
Mission 3: Strategy
You do not have to change your team for this mission. Since Dyethruo will explode at 9 p.m., send Yugi to the mountains directly north of Dyethruo. Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress will join you but you must use Yugi to get him. After getting Winged Dragon of the Fortress, send Yugi back to Yortsun. Prepare for the enemy attack, and after all the marshals are defeated, send Shimon to Phagttuon and Yugi to Dyethruo. After you do that send Yugi to Telenoes and defeat Granus.
Mission 4: Battle for Tsughut
You may want to bring Tristan on this mission. First send Yugi just out of Telenoes, then back in to make him the defending marshal. Wait for the marshals that are moving toward you and defeat them. After that send Shimon to Ithuvak and Bakura should appear. Wait awhile for Bakura to deactivate all the marshals’ defenses and be sure you move Shimon back to Telenoes before he gets to the base. After that send Yugi to take over Ithuvak, and then Ghuashyene. After that send Tristan to take over Rowerful, then Kthujan. Finally send Yugi to finish Kepulia at Tsughut.
Mission 5: Turbulent Waters
First send Yugi to Jokhan and when you get there, hold off and defeat the marshals that come toward you. After that send Tristan or Bakura to Van-Lova, then east to find Enchanting Mermaid. After that send Yugi to Tsughut, then to Thor-Mount, and you will meet Octoberser along the way. Finally send Yugi to take over Gigan-Syip and Mako will now join you.
Mission 6: Badlands
On this mission bring Yugi, Shimon, and any other marshals but make sure you have at least four marshals. The first thing you do is send Yugi to Tower-Pegasi and send Bakura to Tower-Sirius. When Yugi arrives at Tower-Pegasi, he will fight Summoned Skull and If you defeat Summoned Skull he will join you. Wait at Pegasi for the enemy marshals coming toward the base and defeat them. Now, send Yugi to Tower-Centauri. You may want to build a Healer at Pegasi to heal from all the battles. Along the way you fight a band of monsters. Defeat them, then take over Centauri. After that send Shimon to Tower-Deneb. When Shimon is almost there, send Yugi to Air Shrine. Finally defeat Darkness, and Dark Magician will join you.
Mission 7: Crucial Battle
Get rid of all of Yugi’s monsters and give them to Shimon. Put Summoned Skull, Dark Magician, and your next strongest monster on Yugi’s team. If the enemy has any cannons, have a weaker team set them off, then have a stronger team defeat the marshal. First send Yugi just outside of Chitthun to the west, then move him back in and defeat any marshals coming toward the base. After that take over Phostenn with Yugi. Then send Yugi to Nyuaghulla, Shimon to Phostenn, and send Bakura to Nua-Tua. Around now, Joey should appear and you should send him to Nyuaghulla following Yugi. After that send Yugi to Tet-Ran, Joey to Dyovann and Tristan to Nyuaghulla. Shimon will probably have to face some marshals now. After that send Yugi to Kardhyis and Mai should appear around now. Finally finish Haysheen with Yugi.
Mission 8: Refugees
You do not have to change your team for this mission. Scott is now in control of everything and that makes things really hard for you because marshals learn how to fuse. Send Tea north some and the marshals will collide. Now, send Tea north some more and then send Tea northwest and then go west. Now, use icon mode to bring Tea to Craw-Valley. Before Tea gets there, send Joey southeast to where the mountains bend and you will get Baby Dragon to join you without a fight. Also, send Yugi out of Craw-Valley, making sure not to block Tea’s path. When Tea arrives, send Yugi back into Craw-Valley and get ready to fight the marshals coming toward your base. Send Joey to Beyzon if you have time. After you defeat the marshals, send Yugi to Beyzon and defeat Rare Hunter in Vrauson. Alternately, move Joey to Craw-Valley, have all five marshals in Craw-Valley.

Make sure you bring Mai on this mission and do not change her team. First send Mai to Ce-Reizo and Shimon to the mountains directly west of Ce-Reizo. Defeat the marshals with Yugi and then send Mai south of the narrow desert path to where it begins to open up. Harpie Lady (Ocupete) will join you there.

Finally send Yugi to Telenoes and Shimon to Y-Su-Wak and defeat Strings.
Mission 15: Betrayed
Replace Summoned Skull in Yugi’s party with a Harpie Lady and make sure Harpie Lady is the leader. First send Yugi using icon mode to Jakhud immediately. Yami Bakura moves his troops out almost immediately so you will have to move fast because If you do not get there fast enough, you will lose. Now, at Jakhud, defeat Yami Bakura.

Dark Nite
He uses Obelisk The Tormentor which is a very strong god that is about to wipe the floor with you. You need to just keep attacking with Yugi’s team and you will eventually win or you could attack with two monsters and then Escape, as the gods always attack last.

Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Review
The review for this phone may be coming a late since it is 1 or 2 generations behind of what Sony has produced, but I have to write about the phone just because I like it so much. The Sony Xperia XZ1 compact is probably one of the only smart phones left that is below 5 inches, which for most people doesn’t matter, but for me that is one of the biggest selling points. Another big selling point is that you can now get the phone below $500. That’s not a bad price for a phone that has the specs of a flagship phone. This means that you get all the power of a flagship phone for under $500 and in a compact size. The phone has 4GB of Ram with a snapdragon 835 processor which gives this phone plenty of power to do whatever you need. It also has one of the best battery life’s that I have ever had with a smartphone. I can go all day using the phone and by the time I am done it has around 60% battery life left. It also has a stamina mode and a super stamina mode. The second mode goes a little overboard on shutting down almost all functionality of the phone but it does the job and conserves battery life considerably. The phone also has the Android 8.0 on it and can also be upgraded to Android 9.0 if you want the newest functionality. However do remember that with the newest OS means that this phone can’t be rooted so don’t try to do it and definitely don’t unlock the bootloader. This will cause a lot of the phones functionality to stop working and there is no way to go back. The phone has a very nice display even though it is only 720p. The phone also has a slot for expandable memory although it can no longer be used to store apps on. You can still store all the photos and videos you want on the expandable memory. The phone come with 32GB of storage which is decent although about 40% – 50% is used already with the OS and the pre-installed apps. The main set of apps that come pre-installed are the whole suit of Google apps and Amazon apps. Most of the pre-installed apps can only be disabled and not completely deleted. Other then that this phone is a great option to consider if you are looking at getting a new phone.

Lynx: A text based browser
I have recently stumbled upon this text based web browser and it is really nice for when you just want to read a lot of text conveniently on a screen. It also keeps you from using youtube and other similar services. This will also prevent you from seeing so many adds on the internet and pop up adds are a thing of the past. Not only that you can easily customize a terminal to look how you like and the font that you want. So this makes reading in a terminal very enticing. So if you don’t like how the browser is displaying your content then it may be time to try out a text based browser. You can get Lynx from their website.
If you have used this text based editor then leave a comment below to tell everyone how you like it.
Dolphin on Mac
Dolphin is a Gamecube emulator that you can use to play any old game from the Gamecube. This can bring back really great memories of playing classic games like “Phantasy Star Online Episodes 1 & 2”. It even lets you play multiplayer on those games across the internet. So you can easily connect with old friends and play like you used to do when everyone was little. There are also ways to get true online gaming for some games, if they still have a server going or you make your own server for the game. It is extremely simple to set up the program and start playing the game right away. You can find any old Gamecube game online to download. You can download Dolphin at their website.
If you are interested in emulators then you may want to know about OpenEMU for macs.
OpenEmu for Mac
OpenEmu is an emulator for the Mac that will allow you to play ROMs for any old game system that you want. This means that you can easily go back in time to any old game that you could possibly want to play. OpenEmu is really nice because you can have all of the old games you used to play in one place instead of having multiple emulators to play different ones. It also has easy functionality to save the state on any game or to put in cheat codes. This is because it is just a tab at the bottom of the screen that is easily accessed. It also makes it easy to load games into the emulator and even keeps track of the games. Reliving the experience of any old game is now easy to do on any Mac computer.
If you are a fan of the old Playstation game “Yu-Gi-Oh Forbidden Memories” then go download the game and use my article, Yu-Gi-Oh ForbiddenMemories Walkthrough, in order to beat the game one last time.
Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Stealth Mechanical Keyboard
This is the keyboard that I have been using recently for work. I would say that this is a nice keyboard that is true to its name. The stealth part of this keyboard is very accurate and the keys make no noise. This may not be what you want if you like that click noise, but in a work environment no one should have an issue with you using this keyboard. The one thing that I do not like about the keyboard is that all the settings for the lighting effects are in Razers own program that you have to download and not just programmed into the keyboard directly. Also the lighting effect that is default is the breathing effect, which I am not a big fan of this lighting effect. The keyboard itself seems sturdy enough and the keys feel really nice. It does have a usb port and a headphone port on the keyboard itself, which comes in handy sometimes. Although, I am the type that likes more click noise and pressure on the keys. Overall this is a nice mechanical keyboard.
You can get the Razer Stealth Keyboard on Amazon.
The New Broly Movie
This is a different kind of post then most of the ones on the blog. That is because I have always been a fan of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z. It was incredible when I found out that they are making a new movie that
will showcase one of the characters everyone liked: THE LEGENDARY SUPER SAIYAN, BROLY. I think most people really liked the character of Broly, but didn’t like his motivation or back story. This means the new movie has a change to right these wrongs and make this character truly a legend. It will also give a lot more backstory on the Saiyan race, specifically with Goku and Vegeta’s family. The other thing about the movie is that it will not take long before the movie is available in America, since it is supposed to come out in January 16th of 2019. If you are a fan of Dragon Ball then this is a movie that you can not miss.
Don’t forget to re-watch the classic Broly movies. You can get the complete set of all the Broly movies with: Dragon Ball Z: Broly Triple Feature (Broly/Broly Second Coming/Bio-Broly) on Amazon.
(1/30/2019) Review: I finally got to see the movie and overall I liked the movie. I like how Broly has a better back story then in the old movie. He also is not a psychopath in this one, but actually a Saiyan with a pure heart. I am not a huge fan of when the animation changes drastically from one moment to the next. I may just be a little biased but I think sticking to the old animation style would suit them better. There were a few moments though of the faces looking really weird, and I don’t know if that was on purpose but it definitely wasn’t for me. The pace of the movie was good I think. I wish they would have tacked on an extra 10 to 15 minutes in order to explore planet vegeta or Bardock a little more at the beginning of the movie. Other than those few things the movie was great and I can’t wait for the new episodes to come out. Now we have Broly cannon, which means another full-blooded Saiyan that has enough power to be relevant to future stories. I hope they do not waste the opportunity that they have made for themselves on involving Broly in the new series.
Yu-Gi-Oh ForbiddenMemories Walkthrough
This blog post is sort of out of theme for the rest of the site and that is because this is from an old website. It is the best gaming tutorial I have made so far so I would like to put it on this blog so it will still be out there for people to use.
Walkthrough Part 1
The Beginning
This walk-through is
about the game Yu-Gi-Oh Forbidden Memories. It is a simple game to beat but requires a lot of time. Once you create your account get past the cut scene listen to Simon one time and then run away from Simon. After that return to the palace and he will want to duel you. After the duel with Simon you need to go to the card shop and check your cards in the deck. If you don’t have a Raigeki and a monster with 1400 attack, restart the game to try to get a Raigeki and a monster with 1400 attack.When you get a deck that has those cards you are ready to get started. When you are talking to Simon listen to him once and then run away. After that return to the palace and he will want to duel you.

I am creating this blog mainly to help beginners into the field get a better understanding of what they are getting into and some tips that will help them in the beginning of their journey. Thanks for joining me!
