Sci-fi games you should try on PS4

If you’re a science fiction fan who happens to own a PS4 or maybe even received a PlayStation gift card, you should know that you have a wide multitude of options when it comes to games that you could play. If you like dreaming about the future of the human race or its place in the universe, imagining space travel and even interstellar wars or contemplating the apocalyptic threats the contemporary civilization is facing – these following games will keep you amused and run your imagination wild! Well-written sci-fi stories, amazing visuals and addicting gameplay are exactly what these sci-fi titles offer!

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

It always feels nice for a PS4 owner to receive a PlayStation gift card and visit the PSN store with excitement about what you’re going to purchase. If you happen to do that right now, you’ll notice that on the very first page you’ll immediately be greeted by Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order advertisement, and no wonder! This is the newest Star Wars game which was developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts.

What would a sci-fi game list look like without a Star Wars title, right? Fallen Order takes place between episodes III and IV of the movies, filling the gap between the Prequel and Original trilogies. You play as a persecuted Jedi padawan Cal Kestis, one of the few Force users who survived the Order 66 massacre.

PlayStation gift card will come in handy if you plan to get the game, as it was, of course, released on multiple platforms including the PS4. It’s worth getting the game, as it offers dynamic lightsaber combat mechanics, non-linear story progression as you fly between semi-open world planets in a private spaceship and one of the best stories written for a Star Wars game, which also includes the appearance of certain cameos from the films!

Titanfall 2

The next PS4 sci-fi game featuring interstellar wars also comes from Respawn Entertainment and EA. Titanfall 2 is an FPS that has a strong multiplayer focus, so having a PlayStation gift card boosting your PSN account is a good idea if you consider purchasing some of the online mode microtransactions.

However, unlike its predecessor, Titanfall 2 features a well-written, critically acclaimed single-player campaign with relatable characters, a great sense of humor and a good dose of military science fiction.

Just like in the pre-match cutscenes of the previous game, Titanfall 2 focuses on the interstellar conflict between two technologically advanced human factions: Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation (IMC) and the Frontier Militia to which the protagonist of the story belongs to. Throughout the campaign, you’ll be accompanied by a sentient mecha partner designated BT-7274 that you’ll also get to control!

Death Stranding

It’s wise to consider boosting your PSN account with a PlayStation gift card as some of the hottest sci-fi games like Death Stranding are available only on PS4 while the gamers on other platforms (such as PC) will get to wait a bit longer. The latest title coming from the famous video game designer Hideo Kojima will not reach the PC players before the summer of 2020, so PS4 owners are quite lucky to try it a lot earlier.

This ambiguous post-apocalyptic drama had a mixed reception from the critics but don’t be discouraged – this was the intention of Hideo Kojima as he chose to build the game upon an unconventional gameplay design and premises. For example – multiplayer mode, strangely enough, doesn’t require a PS Plus subscription (so you can use your PlayStation gift card for something else). How is this so?

The single-player campaign is set in the USA after an apocalyptic event known as Death Stranding. Most people live in underground settlements, so the player will traverse a post-apocalyptic landscape as a currier trying to reconnect the fragments of human civilization. Be prepared to face lots of strange things on your travels, including challenging terrain which you will traverse with the help of tools left in your world by other players!

The Outer Worlds

Any PlayStation gift card receivers should rejoice, as a Mass Effect level space opera RPG inspired by the sci-fi TV show Firefly is also available on PlayStation 4! The game was developed by Obsidian Entertainment, a studio behind such notable RPG titles as Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords and Fallout: New Vegas.

The game will truly feel like a strange mix (in a good way) between Mass Effect, Fallout: New Vegas, Firefly and Star Wars. To be more specific, this game should be called space western as the player will traverse the galaxy that can be considered a sci-fi equivalent of Wild West.

Boost your PSN account with a PlayStation gift card and engage in a non-linear story formed by player’s choices, interact with the crew of your spaceship – The Unreliable – and shape your character in a sci-fi gaming title created by people who truly know what they’re doing.

Horizon: Zero Dawn

The most fitting way to conclude a list of sci-fi video games for PS4 has to be the platform exclusive Horizon: Zero Dawn. This third-person action-adventure game featuring a female lead named Aloy, an open world as well as RPG elements was developed by the creators of the Killzone series – the Guerrilla Games studios.

All Killzone games were sci-fi FPS titles exclusive to the PS4 console. These games serve as a pretty good reason to get a PlayStation gift card as well, however, the latest title of Guerilla Games – Horizon: Zero Dawn – without a doubt steals the show as a definitive sci-fi epic.

At the very brief first glance it might look as if the game is set in prehistoric times, but this impression soon disappears. Even though the setting is tribalistic, the game takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where humanity was reduced to the level of society resembling the stone age. Despite that, the game centers around the abundance of robotic wildlife and features futuristic weaponry (for example, a science-fiction equivalent of a bow). It’s a great game for those who love good stories and amazing sci-fi visuals.

Best gift if you own a PlayStation console!

PlayStation gift card is something always worth considering if you’re interested in the mentioned games or PS4 gaming in general. Even though the titles from the list are a must for any sci-fi fan, they still make up only a tiny fraction of everything that’s available on the PlayStation Network. Therefore, a PSN gift card is a great way to increase the value of your account or provide it to your friend as a gift, especially when you don’t have any specific gift ideas. Get a PlayStation gift card on Eneba store and provide your loved ones with the means to choose the next PlayStation gaming adventure all by themselves!

Sweet 16 Gift Ideas

Do you have a teenager that will soon be turning 16 years old? That sweet 16 milestone birthday is a big one, filled with pride, joy, and excitement at all your child has accomplished so far. With that said, it’s not unusual to throw a big party, or celebrate the day in an extra special way. As a parent, it’s likely that you want to commemorate the big day with a gift that is extra special, holds meaning, and is above and beyond the typical birthday gift. But what should you get your teen? Not to worry, as we’ve gone ahead and put together a list of a few fabulous sweet 16 gift ideas.

Jewelry

Jewelry can make for the ideal gift because it’s not something they will use up and then get rid of, rather it can act as a keepsake that they hold on to the rest of their life. Whether it be a lovely pendant for their necklace, a set of stunning earrings, a special ring, or even a watch, you can’t go wrong with jewelry.

A Laptop or Chromebook

Another fabulous gift idea that every teenager can use is a laptop or Chromebook. Nowadays it’s becoming more and more a necessity for their school studies to not only have a computer at home, but carry one at school. This can be a great start to their college years even, as long as you invest in a high-quality model.

Concert or Event Tickets

If there is a big-name concert or event coming up that you know they have an interest in, a set of tickets for them and their best friend to enjoy would be ideal. They will always remember being gifted those tickets as their 16th birthday gift, making it extra special.

A High-Tech Camera

For those with a teenager who is artsy, a bit creative, and enjoys all things photography related, a high-tech camera complete with all the latest features would send them over the moon. If you’re looking for something that is a bit more beginner-friendly and ideal for active teens, then a GoPro camera would be the better route.

A New Car

Of course, the ultimate sweet 16 gift has to be a brand-new car. Outside of this being an incredible moment they would remember the rest of their life, there are practical reasons behind the car. By gifting them with their own vehicle, it can make everyone’s life easier in terms of appointments, school, work, and so forth. If you’re usually the one driving your teen from point A to point B, that will no longer be necessary when they have their own wheels. It’s also giving them a chance to gain valuable driving experience.

In terms of the best cars for teens, Carmax has a fabulous blog that discusses the ideal cars for new teen drivers highlighting all the important things to consider, as well as some useful buying tips.

Fabulous Gift Ideas for that Special Teenager

No matter which of the gifts you pick off this list, one thing is for sure and that is that it will be a very special sweet 16.

Which Impersonators are the Best to Have at Your Party?

Ever wish your favorite movie stars and celebrities would show up at your next party? You can have them as the featured entertainment at your next party. Your guests absolutely won’t believe their eyes, or how much fun they’re having! Below is a list of which impersonators are the best to have at your party.

Elvis

For most audiences, a perfect imitation isn’t the goal. Having a good time is the goal. A great Elvis impersonator brings a special sauce of his own to the act. He adds a little drawl and flair that’s designed to entertain and amuse, not win a look-alike contest.

Prince

A great Prince impersonator can do the whole shebang – walk, talk, act, and look just like Prince. When in costume, (s)he is entirely in character. People love meeting celebrities like Prince, and having a “celebrity” show up to your party can easily be the highlight of the evening, not to mention getting lots of social media posts!

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson is one of the greatest pop musicians of all time. There are Michael Jackson impersonators that convince people they’re watching Michael live. Hire a professional MJ impersonator, and your guests will walk away feeling like they’ve really met the superstar.

Simon Cowell

Simon Cowell impersonator is ideal for cocktail parties. Simon will create visual entertainment as well and one on one engagement with your guests, ensuring all in attendance have a great time. A great Simon Cowell impersonator will make blunt and controversial comments and include insults and wisecracks about contestants and their singing abilities.

Cher

A top-notch Cher impersonator will have your party cheering, dancing and begging for more. A lot of people will never meet the real Cher, or even get to see her perform. An impersonator helps keep her popular. “Cher” is known for her distinctive contralto singing voice and for having worked in numerous areas of entertainment, as well as adopting a variety of styles and appearances. Some Cher impersonators will include live singing of Cher’s greatest hits and complete costume and wig changes, audience involvement, custom humor and lots of Fun!

It’s (almost) like having the real Cher at your event.

Joan Rivers

A Joan Rivers look-alike looks and sounds like the real deal. Riffing on celebrities, politics, and current events and gives the ladies and the men the lowdown on love, marriage, money, and how to make the most of all three! Joan Rivers look-alike can interview your guests & leave your guests in stitches!

4 Tips For Making Your Marriage Last

Although most people get married with the intention of making it last forever, very rarely do marriages stand the test of time. Many couples tend to lose the spark they once had within the first decade, and in some cases, even within the first year.

So, what are the ingredients that make a successful marriage that lasts forever? The truth is that even the best relationships require a considerable amount of work. When you see a happy couple that has been together for decades and decades, they didn’t get there by accident.

Marriage requires constant consideration, attention, and hard work. However, if you genuinely love someone, then working on your relationship shouldn’t really feel like work.

If you’re interested in finding out how the relationships that have stood the test of time have managed to make it happen, then look no further than these tips.

Intimacy

Intimacy doesn’t mean just having a sexual relationship with your spouse. Intimacy means physical closeness, emotional, and intellectual. In a marriage, real intimacy involves being vulnerable, open, and willing to give yourself to someone completely.

However, sex is an important part of intimacy. Sexual satisfaction is a necessary instinct that needs to be fulfilled in marriage to stand the test of time. An absence of intimacy will often result in growing apart as a couple and in some cases, turning to other places to fulfill the lack of intimacy.

Compromise

Relationships are not just about giving or taking; they are a balance of both. If this give and take in your relationship isn’t balanced, it’s easy to start to feel resentful, angry, and spiteful.

The truth is that love isn’t enough to make a relationship last. It’s being willing to bend what you want in order to make your partner happy, and vice versa. However, be careful not to bend too much, or you could lose your sense of self.

Communication

Relationships will start to die in the absence of communication. It’s critical to keep the discussion going. Honest and open communication is the only way to make sure that everyone’s needs are being met.

When you communicate with your partner, it should be calm yet direct. Respect is critical if you hope to get your point across.

Patience

Some couples put up a fight about every little thing which can get downright exhausting. Don’t sweat the small stuff, and choose your battles carefully. Do you really want to fight about every little thing that comes up throughout the day?

Be willing to shut your mouth and let things go once in a while. Save your battles for matters which are truly important. Otherwise, you’ll burn out after a short time.

Professional Indemnity in the UK: The Basic Things You Need to Know

What is Professional Indemnity Insurance?

If you are a professional who provides professional services in the UK, you are open to potential lawsuits against you regarding the services you provide. Someone can claim that you provided inadequate services, design or advice, and the result was that thy received financial losses.

This type of lawsuit can be devastating to a professional person or organisation. Top insurers recognise this threat and offer professional indemnity insurance as a defence for professionals against such lawsuits. PI insurance will cover legal costs and expenses incurred defending you, and any damages that are awarded.

Are You a Candidate For Professional Indemnity Insurance?

Many professional regulatory bodies require that the professionals in their industry have professional indemnity insurance because of the risks. However, if it is not a requirement in your industry, the risks of not having it can far outweigh any costs you pay to get it. In terms of guidelines for the types of businesses that most need it:

  • You are an engineer, architect, designer who provides drawings or designs to clients.
  • You want to protect yourself against any mistakes or allegations of unprofessionalism of the types described here, that might arise in your working relationship with clients.
  • You give professional advice to clients such as business, financial or management consultants.
  • You provide professional services where there is the expectation of a specific outcome. Such as teachers, fitness trainers, or yoga instructors.
  • You are a consultant, freelancer, contractor or another self-employed professional, and you deal directly with clients. In this instance, you are exposed. Some clients will insist that you get PI Insurance as a protection measure for them, so there is recourse in the event you cause damage.

What Does Professional Indemnity Insurance Cover?

PI Insurance covers a range of issues that might occur in your daily business activities. These include:

  • Infringement – You might be accused of infringing on a copyright or trademark.
  • Breaching Confidentiality – Professionals are often held to high standards of confidentiality. If you or someone working for you disseminates confidential information of any employer, you can be sued.
  • Error – many professionals provide data to their clients. If you send out information that is inaccurate and your client relies on this data to make an important decision, and as a result, is damaged financially, you can be sued.
  • Negligence – such as client work you’ve carried out that hasn’t met the specified requirements, causing them to lose money or suffer an injury.

How Much Cover Do You Need?

This can be difficult to determine. However, you should weigh the costs you would need to defend yourself against a suit. Your insurer can assist in what amount would likely be sufficient. Take their professional advice to make sure that you are covered properly.

Professional Indemnity Insurance is a very important product for those who provide professional services. Operating without it puts you needlessly in harm’s way. Take steps now to protect yourself and your livelihood. You can’t control the unexpected, but you can be prepared with the right insurance cover.

Tips On How Best To Use Coupon Codes

If you are interested in saving money then coupon codes are exactly what you need. They give you the ability to freely shop while saving a couple of bucks in the process. You cannot however use just any coupon. There are certain things you need to consider when deciding on whether or not to use a coupon code. Certain coupon codes offer small discounts that are merely significant to the whole price. Other tips include;

1. COMPARE DEALS

When looking for discount codes for example from CoupoNinjas, you’ll find that the site has several different offers with different values. It is important that you compare all deals and find the one with the most value, that is, the one with the greatest discount. Don’t just look at the discount price, you also need to look at the discount’s worth. Getting a 50% discount on a product that’s worth $5 isn’t really worth it if you’re still going to pay the shipping fee. Compare all the deals offered on the table and pick the one that’s most convenient.

2. UNDERSTAND THE TERMS

Before you use a coupon code during checkout, you need to understand the terms of that coupon. There are certain discounts only offered once you reach a targeted amount. Others are only offered on certain products.

You need to first do the math and decide on whether the coupon code will save you money when you use it under its terms. Do not compromise if your pockets are going to get a big dent afterwards. There are also coupon codes that can be used more than once and that offer a very big save.

Remember, every coupon code has its own terms. Make an effort to learn and understand its terms before applying the coupon code.

3. CONFIRM STACKING

Most stores only give one offer at a time. Meaning only one promo code can be used at a time per customer. Others on the other hand offer promo codes that can be used in bulk.

It is also not a surprise to find stores that do not offer promo codes for gift cards which can cause quite a hassle when you get to checkout. Others allow discounts on gift cards which is a major save.

It is important that you have all the details on stacking before you decide on using a coupon code.

4. IDENTIFY YOUR PRICE POINTS

If you buy an item on a regular basis then it is very easy for you to identify your price points.

There is the average price which is the amount you normally purchase an item for. This is what you need to know, that way, when an item is on sale, you will be able to identify whether it is a good deal or not.

There is also the deal price which is the price you want to pay after a coupon has been applied. Remember that it has to be a valuable discount. With this in mind, you can use coupons to purchase this item in as many numbers as necessary till the next time you stock up.

The stock-up price is when a coupon results in the lowest price ever possible. At this point, buy as many items as possible. Go broke if need be. Chances are that item will never have such a discount again.

5. AVOID BRAND LOYALTY

Most people are loyal to products from a certain brand. They enforce this loyalty even when it comes to using coupon codes. The brand does not really matter when it comes to saving. A good deal is a good deal. You need to recognize that.

Unless you’ve actually used products from a certain brand that didn’t meet your satisfaction, there is no need to consider the brand.

Most top brands normally have discount offers that are a rip off. That means you save close to nothing and may end up even spending more than you had budgeted for.

Utilizing the above tips and suggestions will improve your couponing skills and in turn save you lots of money.
