IGN

Just like any other gaming PC, gaming laptops are extremely complicated devices. When reviewing a gaming laptop, we need to look at it from every angle to make sure it is actually worth the often exorbitant prices they command. Here at IGN, we do primarily judge gaming laptops by how well they, well, play games, but we also want to know if they’re good laptops in general – whether it’s for doing work or just watching movies in your downtime.

That’s why after we run the system through a suite of benchmarks, we live with the device for a while – usually for around a week. After all, there are so many gaming laptops that absolutely kill it when it comes to benchmarks, but have uncomfortable keyboards, speakers that sound like they’re about to explode or have fans that immediately pull you out of any game you’re playing.

The Setup

Obviously, the first thing we do when getting a new gaming laptop is run it through the Windows 11 setup process. This is almost completely uniform among Windows gaming laptops, but once Microsoft’s process is over, there is room for a gaming laptop to show its flaws. Most laptop manufacturers these days include a suite of software that’s meant to make your life easier, but can seriously complicate the setup process with needless sign-in requests or ads for McAfee.

After everything is set up, we make sure the laptop is fully updated. First, we run Windows Update to make sure the operating system is up to date, then check any bespoke driver utilities provided by the manufacturer to make sure all drivers are current. Then, we check either the Nvidia App or AMD Adrenalin to make sure the GPU drivers are updated. After all updates are in place, we reboot the system to make sure everything is saved properly.

When the laptop is fully updated, it’s important to configure the laptop to make sure it lines up with other comparable devices. The biggest part of this is going into the power settings and setting the power profile to ‘Balanced’. For a lot of laptops this is all you really have to do, but there are some devices – like the Razer Blade 16 – which have their own power profiles in the manufacturer’s software. Because every laptop maker labels their power profiles a little differently, we need to use our best judgement to make sure that we’re not constraining the system with a silent profile or overclocking it with a “turbo” or “performance” mode – at least for comparative testing.

After all the benchmarks are recorded, reviewers are encouraged to test the system on any special performance modes.

There are a couple of things we need to do before running battery tests, too. First, we go into the power options and change when the display turns off and when the system goes to sleep to ‘never’. This is to make sure the battery actually drains down, rather than the system going to sleep randomly and ruining the result. We also set the screen brightness to 50%, the volume to 50% and disable Bluetooth. Then, if the laptop has RGB lighting of any kind, we turn it off for the battery test – those lights are pretty but everyone should have them turned off when using the laptop on battery power.

The Tests And Why We Run Them

When testing gaming laptops, we want to run them through a suite of games that cover a wide gamut of engines and graphics APIs that are relevant right now. The specific games tested might change over time, but in general we try to have a wide variety.

There are three tests we run in 3DMark – Speed Way, Steel Nomad and Night Raid. Speed Way tests DirectX 12 performance with ray tracing, while Steel Nomad tests the same engine, but without ray tracing. We also test Night Raid, which is a DirectX 12 test that’s a bit more lightweight, and geared towards non-gaming laptops. In general, 3DMark gives a good picture of the potential of the laptop, usually getting much better performance than actual games using the same API.

While we all love to play games, gaming laptops need to be, well, good laptops. We run the Procyon Office Productivity benchmark to measure how well the laptop handles office workloads. This benchmark cycles between Microsoft Office apps to measure how well it handles common productivity tasks. Most gaming laptops are way too fast for this to be any kind of challenge, but it does give a good picture of how the system works as a whole. Then, we run the Procyon battery test, which is essentially the same thing, only looped until the battery dies. It’s a varied enough workload that it gives a realistic picture of the battery life you can expect from your gaming laptop.

When it comes to the actual PC games, we advise our laptop reviewers to run each game benchmark at least twice. If the difference between those two runs is significant – i.e. more than 1-2 fps – the benchmark should be run a third time, with the reviewer figuring the average between them. That way we get a clearer picture of the actual performance you can expect from the gaming laptop.

The first gaming benchmark is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. This is an extremely popular online shooter, and while it isn’t the most demanding game in the world, it does give a glimpse into performance in fast-paced online games. Though, this game does tend to favor AMD GPUs, so that should be noted when comparing gaming laptops with GPUs from different manufacturers.

We run three different versions of the Cyberpunk 2077 benchmark. The first we run on the RT Ultra preset, with upscaling depending on the resolution of the benchmark. For instance, at 1440p, DLSS, FSR or XeSS will be set to ‘Balanced’, but at 1080p, upscaling should be set to ‘Quality’. This is generally our guidance with upscaling in all of the games we test. Then, we set the game to RT Overdrive, which introduces path tracing to the equation. We run it under those conditions once without frame generation and once with frame generation set to 2x. That gives us both a good idea how this demanding game runs normally, and how much benefit you’ll get from frame generation tech. We only run it at 2x Frame Gen, to keep results comparable between AMD and Nvidia GPUs.

Then there’s Metro Exodus. This is an older game at this point, but an interesting one. The game only supports DLSS, not FSR or XeSS, which means we test the game with no upscaling, just to keep it fair. The byproduct of this approach is that Metro Exodus gives a good representation of what ray tracing performance without upscaling looks like. As such, despite it being an older game, it is still extremely demanding at any resolution.

We run Red Dead Redemption 2, another aging game, because it supports Vulkan and is still demanding on modern hardware. That said, new GPUs are starting to run into bottlenecking issues, even at higher resolutions, so the test also helps us identify if that’s a potential issue.

When it comes to Total War: Warhammer 3, the game doesn’t support any upscaler or ray tracing, which makes it one of the rare PC games that’s purely rasterized these days. It’s also extremely CPU heavy, which will highlight when the CPU is too weak for the GPU.

Assassins Creed Shadows is another game that’s extremely CPU heavy, but it also supports ray tracing and upscaling, which paints an excellent picture of how the entire system contributes to gaming performance. This is another game that we run both with Frame Generation and without it.

Living With the Laptop

After all the benchmarking is done, we encourage our laptop reviewers to live with the system for at least a week. That means using it for work, playing games on it, watching movies and carrying it around while they commute. It’s one thing to put a laptop through a suite of tests and mathematically rank it somewhere, but sometimes a slower laptop is just more comfortable to use, and that means something.

Likewise, there are a lot of extremely fast gaming laptops out there that are so heavy that they’re a pain to move around, whether it’s because of dual charging bricks or just a huge chassis that allows for that extra performance. There are some laptop manufacturers that also shove their laptops so chock-full of bloatware that using the device becomes a major headache until you go in and uninstall all of it. This is becoming less common these days, but it definitely still happens, especially in more affordable laptops that are subsidized by software companies.

The featherweight title is on the line tonight with the UFC 314 fight happening live down in Miami. Former champion Alexander Volkanovski is looking to reclaim his title by defeating up-and-comer Diego Lopes. The most recent featherweight champion, Ilia Topuria, left the title wide open by deciding to move up to the lightweight division. Will Volkanovski be able to take back the crown after getting KO’d in round two the last time this title was on the line? Or will Lopes surprise us with a KO?

If you’re wondering when and where you can watch tonight’s main PPV event, we’ve gathered all of the details below. There’s also the prelim rounds starting earlier in the day that you can watch without purchasing the PPV package.

Where to Stream UFC 314 Live Online

After months of intense speculation, rumors, and leaks, Nintendo fully unveiled the Switch 2 with its own Direct. Not only did we receive trailers for new games like Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bonanza, and even Nintendo GameCube games exclusive to Switch 2 Online. But maybe more importantly we got a good look at the system itself and I’m happy to report that, from an accessibility perspective, the Switch 2 is undoubtedly an upgrade to its predecessor in almost every way.

Several months ago, I explored my accessibility predictions for Nintendo’s latest console. I wanted more robust accessibility offerings, better usage of Joy-Con controllers, and unique inclusive design practices. And to my surprise, Nintendo answered every wish while also giving extras. For this Access Designed, let’s examine the exciting and confirmed accessibility of the Switch 2

New Accessibility Settings

The Direct offered little in terms of tangible accessibility options, aside from fully customizable controls for each virtual GameCube game, respective of the system settings. Instead, Nintendo released an accessibility page detailing a bevy of returning and new features.

Fully customizable controls are back, with the feature performing exactly like the original Switch. Settings to adjust text size to three different variants also return but with the additional capability to also implement High Contrast and change general display colors. Even the Zoom functionality is making a comeback, a necessary inclusion for blind/low vision players. Yet, Nintendo’s biggest surprise comes in the form of a new “Screen Reader” setting.

Blind/low vision individuals often need settings like Text-to-Speech to help navigate menus and settings. While the option is only available for the HOME menu and system settings, this accessibility feature is a necessary tool, allowing disabled players to independently navigate the Switch 2. Options to choose different voices, read speeds, and volume levels accompany the Screen Reader feature. We still don’t know if individual games will support these tools or come equipped with their own accessibility offerings, but Nintendo’s acknowledgment of their disabled audience is a welcome sight, one that absolutely piques my interest regarding the future of accessibility at the company.

Innovative Design

While not within a specific menu, Nintendo did advertise a new inclusive tool that not only adds more depth to a beloved franchise, but also vastly improves the cognitive, physical, and blind/low vision accessibility. Within the renamed Nintendo Switch App, is Zelda Notes, a companion app for Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. With the Navigation option in the app, players can choose to locate shops, areas of interest, and even the elusive Korok’s all within the app’s GPS-like UI. The app, which comes with audio cues and voices, will direct players to the exact location of their selected object. While not perfect, as the app does not help with precise navigation or enemies, it helps blind/low vision individuals navigate the overworld while reducing the cognitive overload of having to travel across a vast world.

For cognitive, blind/low vision, and physically disabled players in particular, another feature in the app — the Autobuild Sharing tool — lets players share their custom Zonai tech creations. By scanning a QR code, disabled individuals can automatically build a Zonai machine if they have the corresponding materials. For me, especially, I immensely struggled with the control layout and required buttons to properly build Zonai machinery in Tears of the Kingdom. But thanks to this new tool, I only need to worry about gathering materials, and not the actual building process of Zonai contraptions. And all of this is done with Inclusive design, something I’ve regularly praised Nintendo for in the past.

Finally, disabled individuals can even share items with one another through Item Sharing, a feature identical to Autobuild Sharing. By scanning a QR code, I can immediately access items that my friends send me, reducing physical strain by no longer having to continuously scour the world for weapons and food. Does this make Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom fully accessible? Absolutely not. However, it’s an incredible step forward.

Wheelchair Sports

The biggest surprise for me was by far the announcement of Drag X Drive, a Rocket League-esque game that lets players control characters in manual wheelchairs on a basketball court. Not only is this surprising announcement a fantastic way to show proper disability representation, but it also highlights one of the Switch 2’s few new hardware changes – mouse control.

By flipping the Joy-Con on its side, players can move the controller across any surface, making the device behave similarly to a computer mouse. While we still don’t know how much force is required to move the cursor, – for comparison, my mouse on my ultrawide monitor has a DPI of 6400. But any new way to play will no doubt have accessibility benefits for an array of disabled players. It’s exciting to imagine just how Nintendo will utilize this new feature, but more importantly, it’s yet another tool for disabled individuals. Combine this with the multitude of controller types already available on the Switch and Switch 2, and Nintendo continues to innovate with controller usage.

As a Nintendo fan, I’m beyond excited for the Switch 2. While I’m admittedly hesitant to spend upwards of $450 for the system, my love of gaming began with Nintendo. And with each new system comes exciting accessibility additions that continue to demonstrate Nintendo’s commitment to accessibility and inclusive design. While we still don’t have a first party accessible device like the Xbox Adaptive Controller and PlayStation Access Controller, Nintendo is in its own way innovating with new ways to play for disabled individuals.Combine these innovations with the recent announcement of Nintendo joining other developers to create standardized accessibility tags, and I believe we’ll see Nintendo continue to elevate accessibility for the better.

Why Isn’t My GHOUL://RE Code Working?

If you find your GHOUL://RE codes aren’t working, it’s usually for one of two reasons. Firstly, lots of codes for Roblox experiences are case-sensitive, so you’ll need to make sure you’re putting it in correctly. The best way to do this, is just to copy it over directly from this article. Be mindful about including extra spaces accidentally, though!

Alternatively, it might just be the case that a code has expired and it’s time the rewards are no longer available. Whether a code has expired, or has just been pasted in incorrectly, it will say “this code does not exist.”

How to Get More GHOUL://RE Codes

We’re always on the lookout for more codes, so we’d recommend coming here each day to see if there’s more GHOUL://RE codes that have dropped. If you’d rather do the searching yourself, you can head over to the dedicted Discord Server for GHOUL://RE and browse for them there.

What is GHOUL://RE in Roblox?

GHOUL://RE is an open-world PVP experience based on the popular anime Tokyo Ghoul. You can choose to join either the CCG or the Ghoul factions, each with their own weapons and abilities. If you choose to join the CCG in this battle of survival, you’ll be taking down Ghouls, but if you choose to be one of them, you’ll play as a creature able to consume others. It’s not all fighting, though, as you’ll also need to complete missions, which you can pick up from the Mission Boards. Participate in events, open loot boxes, earn currency, and craft weapons to survive.

If there’s something Doctor Who is known for besides time travel hijinks, sonic screwdrivers, and regeneration, it’s having a massive catalog of memorable monsters. With a new season of Doctor Who upon us, we’re taking a look back at the Doctor’s rogues gallery to highlight the most vicious monsters our favorite Time Lord has run into.

Before we begin, a couple of notes: We’ve left off villains that we don’t think qualify as “monsters” in the traditional sense, so don’t expect to see the Master on here. Additionally, although some of these creatures date back to the classic show, every entry in this list has made at least one televised appearance since the 2005 revival. We just think the “modern” monsters tend to be more effective (and are more in our wheelhouse anyway). With that settled, let’s get into it. Here are our top 20 Doctor Who monsters.

20. Macra

As all PlayStation fans know, few things are as terrifying as a giant enemy crab. Doctor Who first introduced the alien race known as the Macra during the Second Doctor’s era. Initially large, intelligent crabs, they had an interstellar empire and were referred to by the Doctor as the “scourge of this galaxy.” Millions of years later, the Macra fell on hard times and devolved into mindless beasts that survived on noxious gases and ate whatever fell through the cracks of the planet-wide gridlocked motorway of New Earth. They aren’t the most prominent Doctor Who enemy, but would you want to meet one in a dark alley? I didn’t think so.

19. Clockwork Repair Droids

“The Girl in the Fireplace” is commonly considered one of the quintessential Steven Moffat-penned episodes, and as such features a set of memorable antagonists. Those would be the Clockwork Repair Droids, a group of robots with a penchant for 18th century French fashion and stealing organs from human beings. They want to snatch the brain of Jeanne Antoinette “Reinette” Poisson, also known as Madame de Pompadour, to repair the computer of their 51st century starship. The audacity of their plan contrasts well with the tender romance between the Tenth Doctor and Reinette, making them the perfect villains for this iconic episode.

18. Sontarans

The stocky, dome-headed race of cloned soldiers known as the Sontarans are one of the Doctor’s most recurring foes. Bred for nothing but endless warfare, Sontaran culture is centered purely on the honor of death in combat. But despite their militaristic nature, the Sontarans lose some points by rarely coming off all that threatening because of their goofy appearance and easily outwitted schemes. All that said, the Doctor considers them among the “finest soldiers in the galaxy,” so they are still worth a spot on this list. Plus, they gave us Strax, one of the funnier and more interesting of the many side characters the Doctor has encountered.

17. Vashta Nerada

Why is every species in the universe afraid of the dark? According to Doctor Who, it’s because of the Vashta Nerada, microscopic carnivores that are essentially piranhas living in shadows. These invisible terrors encountered the Tenth Doctor at the Library, a planet that the Vashta Nerada had rendered devoid of life. While the sight of their skeletal victims trapped in their spacesuits is definitely spooky, the Vashta Nerada suffer a bit from how they actually “work” not being as clear as it should. They basically kill whenever the script wants them to, but the Doctor having no plan for them beyond “run” certainly makes them a credible threat.

16. The Vespiform

In what other show could an episode be an Agatha Christie style murder mystery that actually includes Agatha Christie as a character, and also the murderer is an evil alien wasp in disguise? That’s exactly what Doctor Who gave us with “The Unicorn and the Wasp,” one of the most deliriously eccentric episodes of the Tenth Doctor’s tenure. The Vespiform, a giant wasp that can shapeshift into human form, plays the part of a serial murderer at a 1920s dinner party. We won’t spoil the identity of the creature (it’s a mystery, after all), but as one-off Doctor Who villains go, the Vespiform is one of the more memorable for its genre-bending mischief.

15. Ice Warriors

Another longtime foe dating back to the original show, the Ice Warriors are a race of armored reptilian humanoids native to Mars. Originally starting off as enemies of the Second Doctor who wanted to colonize Earth, the Ice Warriors eventually changed their tune and became an ally of the Third Doctor. They returned in the revival era in the episode “Cold War,” where the Eleventh Doctor found himself trapped on a Soviet submarine with a single villainous Ice Warrior who hunts down the crew one by one. They aren’t quite among the most iconic of Doctor Who monsters, but the Ice Warriors deserve credit for their versatility and longevity.

14. The Veil

“Heaven Sent” is widely considered one of the best Doctor Who episodes of all time, and for good reason. The Twelfth Doctor is trapped in a confession dial, where he spends 4.5 billion years trying to find a way to escape and undo the death of beloved companion Clara Oswald. All the while, he’s hunted by the Veil, a being with a burning touch that forces the Doctor to share his darkest secrets. The slow movement and omnipresent nature of the Veil makes it an unsettling presence, but the real star of the show is Peter Capaldi’s performance. Even so, the Veil earns a spot on this list for being a big part of such a great episode.

13. The Flood

A good Doctor Who monster can make the most innocuous things scary, and one of the best examples of that is what the show did to water with the Flood. A virus trapped in a Martian glacier, it infected the water of the first human colony on Mars, turning those who came in contact with it into horrific zombie-like creatures. Their cracked mouths and them constantly spilling water from their skin made the Flood’s victims into the stuff of nightmares. They’ve only had one televised appearance in the Tenth Doctor special “The Waters of Mars,” but pretty much everyone who’s seen it would say the Flood made one hell of a first impression.

12. The Silence

Steven Moffat introduced a long-running mythology arc at the beginning of Season 6 with the Silence, who were hyped up by the creators at the time as the scariest Doctor Who monster ever conceived. These suit and tie wearing aliens had the power to make people forget they existed whenever they weren’t being observed, making it difficult to fight back against the Silence’s machinations. What those machinations actually were and how convoluted their subplot became is why the Silence don’t make the top 10 here, but even then they’re still among the most conceptually interesting and unnerving antagonists in the Doctor’s storied history.

11. The Ood

The Ood are unique on this list because they are far more sympathetic than monstrous. A race of benign and easily manipulated creatures, the Ood were enslaved by humanity but insisted they were okay with it. However, their telepathic abilities led them to become pawns of another, more powerful villain (who we’ll get to later), turning them into red-eyed terrors ready to hunt down the Tenth Doctor and his allies. Thankfully, the Doctor escaped intact. The Doctor later returned alongside Donna Noble to help the Ood in “Planet of the Ood,” where the pair assisted the Ood Brain in freeing all Ood across the galaxy from their enslavement.

10. Autons

For most modern fans of the show, the Autons are the first Doctor Who monster they ever encountered. Resembling walking mannequins, they were animated by their master, the Nestene Consciousness, as plastic foot soldiers in its attempt to conquer Earth. The Autons started off as recurring enemies of the Third Doctor, who thwarted their schemes on two separate occasions. They returned again in “Rose,” the pilot episode of the 2005 revival, where the Ninth Doctor once again put down an invasion attempt. They would also factor into the two-part Season 5 finale, with companion Rory Williams being revived as an Auton.

9. The Foretold

The best one-off monster of the Twelfth Doctor’s tenure, the Foretold is the eponymous mummy in “Mummy on the Orient Express.” This eerie creature is only capable of being perceived by its intended target, who it kills after exactly 66 seconds, no matter how the victim tries to escape. Watching the Doctor and Clara Oswald try to figure out how to stop a monster they can’t see or hear as it picks off its prey makes for one of the most tense episodes of Capaldi’s era. Plus, when the Doctor finally does see it, him figuring out what the Foretold actually is and how to stop it during the time limit makes for one of the Doctor’s finest moments.

8. Sutekh

Most science fiction properties eventually introduce a god-like antagonist, and the Doctor finally received one with Sutekh. Originally an adversary of the Fourth Doctor, the evil Osiran was seemingly defeated in “The Pyramids of Mars,” only to come back decades later in the two-part finale of Season 14 as the leader of the Pantheon of Discord. Sutekh revealing himself to the Fifteenth Doctor and explaining how and why he’s survived turns him from a pretty good one-off foe into one of the Doctor’s all-time greatest enemies. Plus, the Doctor even refers to Sutekh as “the greatest monster I have ever fought,” so that’s got to count for something.

7. The Empty Child

Creepy children are a staple of horror media, and Doctor Who turned in one of the best examples with the Empty Child. Originally a boy named Jamie who died during a WWII air raid on London, he was revived via extraterrestrial means and plagued the streets as a gas mask-wearing menace who turned anyone he touched into zombies similar to him. He and all of his victims would chant “are you my mummy?” over and over again. Luckily, the Ninth Doctor and his companion Rose Tyler were able to figure out what caused the Empty Child’s condition and reverse it, making for one of the most triumphant endings to a Doctor Who episode.

6. The Time Beetle

Season 4 of the revival era, the last season starring the Tenth Doctor, features two of the best one-off monsters in the show’s history. First up is the Time Beetle from “Turn Left,” a sinister insect capable of latching itself to a victim’s back and altering their personal history by creating a parallel timeline. This happens to Donna Noble, who makes a crucial choice that prevents her from ever meeting the Doctor, resulting in the Doctor’s death and numerous cataclysms that he was supposed to prevent. After it’s stopped, the Doctor recognizes the beetle as being affiliated with the Trickster, a villain who should be familiar to viewers of The Sarah Jane Adventures.

5. The Midnight Entity

Our second Season 4-exclusive monster is the Midnight Entity, perhaps the most mysterious Doctor Who monster of all time. It’s never seen, named, or properly understood; it simply is. While on a tour of the diamond planet Midnight, an unseen presence breaks into the tour bus and possesses one of the passengers, repeating every word said to it with perfect accuracy. It eventually takes control of the Doctor, stealing his voice and nearly convincing his fellow passengers to jettison him from the vehicle. Although the Doctor does survive the altercation, it’s still one of the most haunting encounters with the unknown in the show’s history.

4. The Beast

The two-part episode “The Impossible Planet” and “The Satan Pit” is arguably a better space horror movie than most actual space horror movies. In this story, the Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler wind up trapped on Krop Tor, a planet somehow orbiting a black hole, where they come in contact with a being known as the Beast. This demonic monstrosity is implied to be the literal Devil, or at least the inspiration for such a creature in all the mythologies in the universe. Given how much he terrorizes the Doctor and his allies, both by controlling the Ood and possessing Toby, one of the poor souls stranded with them, we’d say he’s more than welcome to the title.

3. Cybermen

When it comes to recurring monsters, there’s only one that can claim to have battled the Doctor more often than the Cybermen. Originally a group of cyborgs created from the bodies of humans native to Earth’s twin planet Mondas, they also developed in a parallel timeline as part of a scheme by John Lumic, head of Cybus Industries. No matter their origin, the Cybermen seek to “upgrade” other humans into more Cybermen, whether the victims want to or not. They are scary not just for their relentlessness and lack of emotion, but because it seems that no matter what universe the Doctor visits, the Cybermen will always rise up eventually.

2. Weeping Angels

For the most terrifying Doctor Who monster of all time, there really can’t be any answer but the Weeping Angels. These fearsome killers look like statues to the uninitiated, but that’s because they’re quantum-locked while observed, meaning they only move when no one is looking at them. Turn your eyes away for a moment, even by blinking, and those statues will be a little bit closer. They kill by sending their victims back in time, meaning if they catch you, you’ll never see your loved ones again. If you somehow haven’t seen their debut episode “Blink,” sometimes cited as the best Doctor Who episode of the revival era, you’re seriously missing out.

1. Daleks

Did you really think number one would be anything else? Of course it’s the Daleks, the Doctor’s most iconic and enduring foes. Not only have they opposed the Doctor ever since the First Doctor’s second story, they are arguably just as responsible as the Doctor for popularizing the franchise. These fascist alien mutants encased in metal shells exist for only one purpose: to “exterminate!” They believe in Dalek supremacy above all else, and have sought universal conquest time and time again. Yet no matter how many times they battle their archnemesis, Doctor Who fans are always looking forward to the next clash between the Doctor and the Daleks. And that’s why they will always be the greatest Doctor Who monster of all time.

Why Isn’t My SpongeBob TD Code Working?

There are two main reasons why your code might not be working when you submit it. Some codes are for Roblox are case-sensitive, so you’ll want to make sure you’re copying it directly from this article and pasting it in. We test each and every one of the codes before adding them here, to make sure they’re working. Just be sure when you are copying them from here, that you’re not accidentally including any extra spaces. If one has snuck in there, just remove them and try the code again.

If you’re taking them directly from the article, and they’re still not working, the other possibility is they’re expired. When a code is expired, it will say this as soon as you hit redeem. But if the code has been entered incorrectly, it will say “invalid” instead.

What is SpongeBob Tower Defense in Roblox?

Roblox has its fair share of Tower Defense games, and even SpongeBob is included in the action. Whether you choose to initially recruit SpongeBob, Patrick, or Squidward, you’ll need to protect Bikini Bottom at all costs.

Just like other TD games, the aim is to position units carefully along a set route, where they’ll automatically attack and wipe out a constant stream of enemies. With careful strategy, you’ll complete a series of waves for each location, and prevent enemies from ever reaching your base. Unlock new units, pick your favorites to take into battle, and unleash them when the time is right.

Why Isn’t My Anime Card Clash Code Working?

We usually find that when codes aren’t working, it’s for one of two reasons. Most Roblox experiences have codes that are case-sensitive, so if you’re not putting the code in exactly as it’s written, you’ll find it won’t work. To make it easier for you to avoid this issue, we’d recommend copying the code directly from this article. We test each and every one before we add them, so just be sure you don’t copy an extra space before or after the code accidentally!

If your code still isn’t working, it might be that it’s expired. For reference, in Anime Card Clash, whenever you put in a code incorrectly, it says “Code not found!”.

In Anime Card Clash the goal is to build the best deck to battle against bosses and other players. You’ll start by rolling for cards to craft a unique deck, and we’d recommend taking some time to roll as many times as possible and creating your perfect pack before you jump over to story mode. When you’re ready to tackle story mode, you’ll engage in turn-based combat against a series of tough bosses. With each defeat, you’ll unlock new worlds, so you can put your deck to the ultimate test.

Why Isn’t My Attack on Titan Revolution Code Working?

If you find your AoT Revolution code isn’t working, it could be for a few reasons. Firstly, you’ll need to be Level 15+ before codes will work, so spend some time leveling up before attempting to use them.

If you’re Level 15+ and your code isn’t working, it’s either because there’s a typo in the code or it’s expired. If a code has run out, it will say “Expired” when you press enter. If there’s a typo, or the code is very old, it will say “Invalid.” If you don’t meet the level requirement to use the code, it will say “Error.”

To avoid typos, we’d recommend copying the code directly from this article. Then, paste it into the Codes bar on the Main Menu of the AoT Revolution screen. Just be sure to check that there’s no extra space at the beginning or the end of the code.
