aliens – The Daily SPUF

We’re Probably Not Alone

February 14, 2023February 3, 2023 Medic 0 Comments aliens, planets, random, stars

Youtube’s recommendations to me lately have been pretty scientific. I’ve been watching a lot about stars, planets and black holes on one end of the scale, and videos about quantum mechanics and subatomic particles on the other. Scattered in my recommendations though are the odd video about life outside our solar system. You know, aliens and stuff. Things that are mostly just speculation. Really, when you think about it, there are a lot of stars with a lot of planets orbiting them. Scientists have been finding a lot of Earth-like planets, although many have been a lot bigger than Earth.… [Continue Reading]

Aliens Aliens Aliens

Space is big. Very big. Big enough that, if you printed out all the memes in the universe out and laid them side by side, there’d still be a fuckton of space left over. Heck, in our solar system alone, like 90% of it is nothing but empty space, punctuated by the odd asteroid. My point is, space is mindbogglingly big. But because it’s so big, that means there’s aliens in it, right? There’s gotta be tons of aliens, all looking for intelligent life. Loads of aliens looking up to the sky, just like we do, wondering whether there is… [Continue Reading]

Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop – Guess who’s back

May 10, 2017September 20, 2017 Medicinal Warlock 0 Comments alien swarm, aliens, mod

I was lazily browsing through the Free To Play section on the Steam catalogues (yes I know I’m a cheapskate) when I found this: After double-checking to make sure that it isn’t the old Alien Swarm, I did some extra digging. Turns out, this actually started off as a ModDB entry. The team behind it submitted it onto Greenlight and it passed. And since it’s on Steam for some time I assume they have Valve’s blessing. Either way, the reviews seem positive, unlike the remakes and extension attempts for one of my favourite games. So I downloaded it and jumped… [Continue Reading]

Oh hey, Invasion is here.

Oh hey, Invasion is here. And it’s pretty much replaced the Halloween event, running until November 5th with the Invasion Pass. Basically this update is a gigantic community Gun Mettle Update, with the contributors doing all of the work and Valve still getting a good bit of the rewards. Same as before, do challenges in-game on official servers and get weapons, or get special rare crates that need keys to open. Of course this is all locked to people who buy the pass, which is $2-ish, depending on where you’re from. So no stuff for people who don’t want to… [Continue Reading]

UFOs spotted! The End is Nigh!

September 12, 2015 aabicus 0 Comments aliens, rumor, scream fortress, update

There are aliens in TF2! There had been hints of a possible Invasion update for some time now, but Valve has actually done a great job of keeping this one under wraps, perhaps having learned from the toxic effect all the End of the Line hype had caused. Indeed, if Kritzkast hadn’t deflected the June trailer leak by pretending it was merely a community model pack, we would have had 4 months of absolutely nothing for the hype to do but fester. Well played, Valve. But now that actual UFOs are appearing in the skyboxes of the most popular TF2… [Continue Reading]
