<\/p>\nIt’s that time of year again where most people in the northern hemisphere start to feel the cold quite a bit. Winter rolls in, the snows hit and you pray to some sort of higher being that your boiler doesn’t pack in. So we thought\u00a0it would be a great idea to look at what video games suggest are the best ways to keep warm and survive this winter.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If In Doubt Find A Random Camp Fire – Rise Of The Tomb Raider<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Even in the deadliest of cold climates, Lara Croft manages to find un-attended campfires just lying around the place. Whether they are imbedded in a snowy mountain side or just left in the middle of a rain storm, these magical campfires manage to keep themselves fully a light at all times. So if you are caught short in a snow storm we suggest walking in a random direction until you see one. It’ll also give you a good chance to make adjustments to your bow and arrow if you have one handy.<\/p>\n Finding Thermal Energy\u00a0Stashed In Boxes And Crates – Lost Planet<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Lost Planet is probably one of the best games to give you some handy tips to survive the winds of winter. If we have learnt anything from this game, it’s that Thermal Energy (T-ENG) canisters can be found pretty much anywhere! Whether it is a random box or crate you come across on the way to the shops or indeed some barrels that are lying about outside your local pub, you are bound to find some T-ENG just lying around. \u00a0True, T-ENG maybe native to certain alien planets but you never know, you may come across some in a random skip somewhere.<\/p>\n Shout Your Way Through Poor Visibility – Skyrim<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n When the wintery weather really picks up, poor visibility is going to be inevitable.\u00a0Mist and fog can be a particular\u00a0annoyance when it comes to navigating your way through harsh weather.\u00a0According to the ‘Throat Of The World’ quest in Skyrim getting rid of the mist and fog in you immediate vicinity is as simple as shouting at it. Who says screaming into the wind is next to useless? Here’s a little tip for you, if you shout the words Lok, Vah and Koor in quick succession you will be able to clear the fog around you for a full 60 seconds. Just make sure you keep shouting though, as mist and fog have a nasty habit of creeping back in again.<\/p>\n Thick Winter Coats Can Double Up As Body Armour – SSX\/Any Snow Boarding Game Ever<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Remember when your parents aways used to remind you to put a coat on before you went outside to play in the snow? Well naturally you would think this advice was primarily to protect you from the cold. According to any extreme winter sports game out there however, a think winter\u00a0coat can double up as pretty sturdy body armour. For example, every time your character in SSX or Cool Boarders would miss a trick and fall face first down the side of a mountain or indeed an icy crevasse, they would just get up, brush themselves off and carry on their merry way. So if one thing is clear, a good winter wardrobe is what everyone out there should invest in.<\/p>\n![\"lostplanet_harshwinter\"](\"http:\/\/wordpress.prod.gmgfarm.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/lostplanet_harshwinter.jpg\")
