The 50 Best Spy Movies of All Time

by

When it comes to categorizing spy movies, it’s often challenging due to their diverse range, which spans from films about world domination by evil masterminds to realistic tales of undercover agents exchanging secrets. (Interestingly enough, even Westerns have a clear setting in the Old West, but the genre can be just as confusing when you consider exceptions like non-Western Westerns!). To include a variety of spy films that represent the genre’s full scope, Vulture decided on a broad definition for this list of top spy movies. If the movie includes espionage as a significant aspect, then it qualifies as a spy film for our purposes.

Skull and Bones: Can You Reset Your Progress After Getting Bored?

by

In the comments, it’s clear many players resonate deeply with UNKOWN_ERROR–0001’s sentiments. User sbeowulf remarked, “You do reach Kingpin way too quickly IMO,” highlighting how the fast progression can lead to a sense of untapped potential being left behind. It’s like reaching the top of the pirating world only to discover the treasure map didn’t lead to more adventures, but rather a quick trip back to the tavern for a pint of grog. This sentiment reflects a broader frustration many gamers have: when you breeze through levels faster than a ship on a calm sea, the excitement of discovery and challenge can dwindle. Many players expressed that the game could benefit from additional stories or tiers of progression to keep things engaging, rather than just relying on repetitive quests that have been completed multiple times.

In fact, some players have shared stories about receiving aid from others in their lobbies even during critical situations. The message is clear: you don’t need to sail alone like a lone shark; even a single player can find assistance if they just ask.

Torpedo Questions in Skull and Bones: Understanding Arming Distance and Gameplay Tips

by

In the world of Skull and Bones, the term ‘arming distance’ is frequently used when discussing torpedoes. Essentially, this is the minimum distance a torpedo needs to travel before it detonates with maximum force upon hitting an enemy ship. If fired too closely, a torpedo functions more like a firecracker than a potent naval warfare weapon. Generally, experts such as Only-Mammoth39 suggest that arming distance is approximately 100 meters. If a torpedo strikes its target within this ‘danger zone’, it will inflict around two-thirds less damage than one that has traveled the ideal distance for a powerful explosion. In other words, maintaining a safe distance is crucial – stay calm and collected, as mariners would say.
