The 2010s in Gaming – A Look Back

December 31, 2019December 31, 2019 aabicus 0 Comments Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Dota 2, gaming, industry, overwatch, planetside 2, playerunknown's battlegrounds, pokemon go, Team Fortress 2

Adios, old decade! Tomorrow is the first day of the new ’20s, a decade sure to be just as roaring as the one that used to be known as the ’20s’. I’ve often wondered just how long it takes for the old century to fall out of conversation and get replaced by the new one in abbreviated parlance. Guess we might be finding out somewhere around the 2050s, is my personal guess. But anyway! The ’10s were certainly a hell of a decade, especially for gaming. We were treated to some huge advancements in graphics, hardware, and processing capabilities. The… [Continue Reading]

The Problem with Eggs and Incubators in Pokemon Go

December 31, 2019December 27, 2019 Medic 0 Comments eggs, gambling, incubator, loot box, pokemon go

Hatching eggs seems to be a recurring thing in Pokemon, with almost all Pokemon in existence having been hatched from what are honestly pretty large eggs. This is the same for pretty much everything except from Legendaries, which just happen to spring into reality or are made in labs. Eggs are also a thing in Pokemon Go, despite the fact that there is no breeding or anything. In fact, abandoned eggs are just given as rewards for spinning Pokestops, which, if my theory about Pokemon Go critters being brain-dead clones from the real Pokemon dimension has anything to say about… [Continue Reading]

On Buying A New Laptop

December 30, 2019December 29, 2019 Medic 0 Comments ramble

Right now, I am waiting for things to download, to install or copy over from my external hard drive. I have, after months of struggling, finally decided to buy a new laptop. The final straw was a splash of diet cheap cola, which rendered my keyboard unusable, but only decided to do so about 20 minutes later in the middle of a game of Risk of Rain 2. Being someone who uses a keyboard a lot, this was a little bit of a pain in the ass, and since it’s the Christmas break, nowhere is really open to fix my… [Continue Reading]

Rambling at Pokemon That Are Good But Not The Best

December 29, 2019December 23, 2019 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, pokemon go

I’ve rambled before about how we often expect too much when it comes to the Pokemon we catch in Pokemon Go, that it doesn’t matter if they’re not perfect, if they’re lacking in a stat or if they’re not shiny. But I’ve never really looked at Pokemon in a species way. I mean, we’ve got all these different species of Pokemon all categorized into tier lists based on how good they are, and with more and more Pokemon being released, so may more are ignored or kicked off their thrones to make space for better Pokemon. For example, Groudon was… [Continue Reading]

Crappy Youtube Recommendations. I had to SCROLL A LOT to find a gaming video. Everything else recommended to me is crap. And yes, I covered up the names because I ain't giving them free exposure.

Horrible, Horrible Youtube Recommendations

December 28, 2019December 21, 2019 Medic 0 Comments ramble, rant, youtube

I think, after writing for this blog for like five years or something, you can somewhat get an idea of what things I like. At the very least, you can guess that I like video games, most notably things like Team Fortress 2, Warframe, Skyrim and Minecraft. I also like things like Risk of Rain, Borderlands and the Binding of Isaac. These games are all pretty large, popular games that have avid communities and thus create a huge amount of video content, a lot of which ends up on Youtube. But I’m willing to look into other games as well,… [Continue Reading]

Holy Resource Costs, Batman! – The Insane Upgrades and Resource Costs for Railjacks

December 27, 2019December 23, 2019 Medic 0 Comments empyrean, railjack, warframe

So you’ve been playing with your Railjack for a bit and the first two things you will notice are that the base ship has basically no health and that the starter guns are fucking awful once you’ve completed the first or second missions. That’s alright! Because there’s two great ways in which you can get better gear! The first way is simple. Get your clan to fund all the new Sigma MK gear in the clan dojo! You can get this gear in order, starting with crappy starter stuff, then MK1 versions of that stuff, then MK2, then finally MK3… [Continue Reading]

5 Payday Weapon Skins that are Pay-2-Win (In a Good Way!)

December 26, 2019December 31, 2019 aabicus 0 Comments dlc, payday, payday 2, steam, weapon skins

Payday 2 DLCs come with some great gun attachments that can drastically change your favorite weapons’ playstyles. Normally, you can’t equip these attachments unless you own its DLC, but some DLC mods are actually baked into certain weapon skins, and if you buy these skins on the Steam Community Market you can use those mods even if you don’t own their DLCs. In this video, I’m covering some cheap skins that base players should consider buying not for their looks, but for the gun mods they unlock. These are 5 SKINS WITH GAME-CHANGING DLC ATTACHMENTS and again, I paid a… [Continue Reading]

Merry Smissmas Everyone

December 25, 2019December 18, 2019 Medic 0 Comments merry christmas, merry smissmas, Team Fortress 2

It’s that time of year again. It’s Smissmas. “Medic, don’t you mean Christmas?” No, I mean Smissmas. It’s just like Christmas except it’s a silly version taken straight out of Team Fortress 2. Now, I haven’t played Team Fortress 2 properly in a long time. Due to being a Medic main and the average player not really understanding a Medic’s limitations, I kinda drifted away and started playing games where I didn’t need to worry about others keeping my character safe. The lack of decent Team Fortress 2 updates with anything actually in them put me off entirely, especially since… [Continue Reading]

The Adventures of Volt and Smaller Volt

December 24, 2019December 19, 2019 Medic 0 Comments silly, story, warframe

“Hey, space mum!” Volt rolled his neural sensors as he received another message from an Excalibur he had recently taken under his wing. Unlike the first Excalibur, who seemed to know what he was doing and just lacked the firepower, this Excalibur was filled with questions. Questions and annoying nicknames for Volt. “Please don’t call me that…” Volt sighed, before perking up. “How you doing?” “I’m doing great!” the fresh, young Tenno messaged back. “I just finished an exterminate mission and now I’m going to do a sabotage mission on Mercury!” “You need help?” Volt asked. “Uh, no, but I… [Continue Reading]

Things That Empyrean Really Needs

December 23, 2019December 19, 2019 Medic 0 Comments empyrean, qol, quality of life, railjack, suggestions, warframe

I’ve been playing quite a bit of Empyrean now. It’s an amazing experience that’s full of bugs and things blowing up, as well as lots of hectic running around. While the bugs will eventually be fixed or at least minimized and made less common, like the weird stuck-on-crewship bug, there are a lot of little QOL feature things that Empyrean needs in the meantime. We’ll get more missions soon, we’ll get Corpus, Infested and Sentient missions soon, but these suggestions are all little changes that would make Empyrean smoother. Ability to designate the role you want There’s really only four… [Continue Reading]
