Rest in Peace, Skyrim Saves

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

It turns out, after my hard drive died, there were only three major casualties. OpenBroadcastSystem doesn’t want to work on my computer but I’ll probably fix that. I forgot to copy over my Screenshots folder, but since I have a lot of my screenshots uploaded and a lot of my screenshots are copied to my Random folder (dunno why it is called that), it doesn’t matter that they’re all gone now. But the biggest victim for all of this is Skyrim. Skyrim is actually a horrible thing when it comes to mods. It’s not enough to download a mod and… [Continue Reading]

Why I Play Soldier

Medic 0 Comments

ROCKETS! Okay that’s not the only reason. There’s a small collection of reasons why I play Soldier in my spare time, when I’m named Medic but can’t be bothered to play my own name sake. Recently though, there are actually too many Medics around for me to be able to do so, probably because they are so good at scoring points and recently got some nice buffs. I may be a one trick pony, but I do actually dabble in other classes. Soldier is my go-to secondary class though. But yes, rockets are a big reason why. They’re both skillful… [Continue Reading]

Panda Express announces new dish

aabicus 0 Comments , , , , ,

Panda Express pulled out the works on this new reveal, probably the first time I’ve seen a fast food chain livestream and hype up an addition to their menu. As a diehard Pandaholic (not a real word), I was up and watching as they rolled out the red carpet in their first ever store to announce the new flavor, their first ever Facebook livestream. Then I rushed down to my local Panda Express and gave the new food a try for myself! My opinion? It’s not as flavorful as the orange chicken, and it has a bit of an aftertaste,… [Continue Reading]

Hats aren’t scary any more…

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

The other day, TMNWG mentioned an idea for an article, about how hats and strange weapons can intimidate people. Of course, a strange weapon like a Hale’s Own Sniper Rifle is pretty impressive and slightly intimidating if the person using it is genuinely skilled (rather than some idiot farming it in achievement_idle_noglass) but hats… I don’t know, I really don’t think they’re as intimidating as they should be. Hats used to be advertised as the be all and end all of TF2. You were a loser, poor and Irish, if you didn’t have something on your bonce. Hats have always… [Continue Reading]

Why the Back Scatter may be best Scout weapon

Tryhard 0 Comments , , ,

Something has intrigued me. Simple put no one on the Daily SPUF has written a single article on The Back Scatter and the only time it is mentioned at all is as a passing reference in the article Stop saying I’m a good medic! Of course one may be inclined to say that “the Daily SPUF hasn’t posted content about many things” and “what makes the Back Scatter so special”. I will tell you what makes the Back Scatter so special and article-worthy. The Back Scatter sucks… like really sucks and The Daily SPUF has a penchant for writing about sucky things,… [Continue Reading]

World of Tanks

majer63 0 Comments , ,

World of Tanks is a MMO game developed by Wargaming, and as the name implies, is a game about tanks. The game seemingly takes place during WW2, but you will find tanks that were never developed, and even see post war tanks in the later stages of the game. With tanks in tiers 1-10, and a range of different tank types and nations to choose from, there is a tank for everyone. When you first join the game, you will have access to multiple tier 1 tanks from nations such as Germany, the UK, France, Japan, USA, and the Soviet… [Continue Reading]

Why Is Symmetra in Support? – Overwatch

aabicus 0 Comments , ,

Update June 26 2018: This article is outdated due to today’s update While the TF2 community has come to accept that the official class role system has almost no basis in reality, Overwatch rolled out a very well-defined classification system that mostly makes sense. Tanky characters are tanks, healing characters are in support, ranged DPS are in offense, and area denial are in Defense. Except So many people can’t fathom why Symmetra is in Support. She’s the only support character who doesn’t heal, and her turrets are very obvious area denial. She seems like a slam dunk for the Defense category, and… [Continue Reading]

Warframe – Another Look

Medic 0 Comments , ,

So my current game of the moment is Warframe, the free to play space ninja game. I was playing it when my hard drive started to die, and now I have it installed on my External (good ol’ Phovidrive), I can play it occasionally in the evenings on other people’s computers. Despite actually being a very pretty game, it runs amazingly well even on potato laptops. TF2 has been working alright too, and I finally got Left 4 Dead 2 and Saints Row: the Third to work, but nothing works as well as Warframe currently. Last time I mentioned Warframe, I said… [Continue Reading]

Fate Grand Order – The Waifu Simulator

majer63 0 Comments ,

If you’re looking for a game you can play for a few minutes a day, then maybe Fate/Grand Order is the game for you. Fate/Grand Order is a Japanese mobage (mobile game) that uses characters from the Fate franchise. Starting off, this game is only available in Japanese. Although it contains some English here and there, you can’t depend on this to guide you. Because of this, you need to memorize the menus and buttons and what they do to do anything in this game. This isn’t too hard, as you don’t need to worry about a good portion of… [Continue Reading]

Your first TF2 games

Medic 1 Comment , ,

I was going through my unfinished articles. I hate all of them. But one of them is a gigantic, unfinished guide on everything you need to know about being a newbie to TF2. One day, I do plan on finishing that (when Competitive Matchmaking leaves beta, I guess), but for now, I’ll work on it occasionally. But for now, let’s think about those first few games of yours. The ideal first few games would be quite simple. You play the tutorial for Soldier, you play the second part with the bots, then maybe you play a training game with easy… [Continue Reading]
