Since this is the second incident I am aware of, I guess it's time to make a damn post about it. Just a warning this post isn't a particularly nice one.

Sometimes it's nice to just turn your brain off and write a tutorial/guide thing. Actually, I am not sure what this classifies as. It has a couple of tutorials (one full length and two minis) plus some recommendations and tips. I don't know. Anyway, hopefully it is helpful to someone, especially those of you who requested the various things below the cut!

Without further ado...
