A Four-Legged Saryn

March 11, 2021March 5, 2021 Medic 0 Comments companion, infested, kavat, vulpaphyla, warframe

Lately, I’ve been bringing a new companion to missions. The good little boy/girl happily follows me around as I blow things up. And, despite all the carnage around me, it rarely dies and instantly revives itself. I’m of course talking about Vulaphylas. You know, the hideous fox-like cat-like companions from Deimos. But one particular breed of Vulpaphyla does way more work than the others. Let’s talk about our friend the Panzer Vulpaphyla. Panzer Vulpaphyla are the uncommon breed of mutated Kavat out on Deimos. But when it comes to usage, they are by far the most common. This is mostly… [Continue Reading]

A Moment of Silence for Doom’s Assault Rifle

March 10, 2021January 10, 2022 aabicus 0 Comments alpha, assault, doom, mourning, rifle

Team Fortress 2 isn’t the only game that gave assault rifles the boot. The original Doom has one of the most iconic FPS rosters in history, but is surprisingly lacking the most famous generalist weapon of all time. Yet did you know it wasn’t always that way? Today I wanted to spend an article discussing the sordid history of the unluckiest weapon in the world’s most famous shooter. The Early Alpha Doom‘s assault rifle was there from the beginning, the very first and only weapon available in the early alphas released to the public (once the Wolfenstein 3D sprites were… [Continue Reading]

5 Basically Nude Warframes Who Look Like People In Latex Suits

March 9, 2021March 3, 2021 Medic 0 Comments latex, nude, skin, warframe

There are a large number of different body types in Warframe. From the lithe Octavia to the chunky Grendel, there’s something for everyone. But some Warframes are much more… nude than others. They are not much more than human-shaped suits with fancy helmets. And, with the right colors, these frames can look awfully sexy. To the point that they’re basically just people in latex suits. Shall we have a look at some of these… more scandalous frames? Of course we will! Wisp Honestly, Wisp is more “completely nude barbie doll” than “sexy person in latex suit”. Her whole body is… [Continue Reading]

Quake: Does it Hold Up?

March 8, 2021February 7, 2022 aabicus 0 Comments early review, first impressions, first thoughts, quake

In keeping with the spirit that inspired me to play the original Doom and Doom II to fill the pre-Team Fortress Classic hole in my repertoire, I would be remiss to not also try id Software’s other magnum opus. Their followup game that nevertheless managed to redefine the shooter genre again and take the gaming industry by storm. I don’t know how they managed to do it twice, but the original Quake is a fantastic experience. If you haven’t played it, you really need to go see what all the fuss was about. Now I must confess that I didn’t… [Continue Reading]

Talonflame and some Fletchlings. Completely missed out the middle evolution, but no one cares about it.

Fletchling Community Day

March 7, 2021March 6, 2021 Medic 0 Comments community day, fletchling, pokemon go, pvp, talonflame

What’s that? A community day? Already? These seem to come more and more quickly, I swear. March’s 2021 Community Day is actually kinda special. Why? Because it’s the first March Community Day since 2019, as 2020’s March Community Day was skipped. And, to celebrate, we’re getting Fletchling, the tiny, fiery sparrow thing! A Pokemon that evolves into a fan favourite, Talonflame. New shiny! Yes, we’re actually getting a brand new shiny. And one that ISN’T a Kanto Pokemon! Fletchling can now be shiny, and if you evolved it during the Community Day event, Talonflame would learn the fast move Incinerate.… [Continue Reading]

Sending and Receiving Gifts is Such A Pain

March 6, 2021February 28, 2021 Medic 0 Comments gifts, pokemon go

I’m going to be blunt here. I’ve always been bad at receiving gifts. While I can make and send pretty nice presents, my ability to receive a gift is kinda crap. And, for some reason, this trait has followed me into Pokemon GO. A place where gifts are a pretty large part of the game. But, for some reason, even for normal people, receiving gifts in Pokemon GO is a massive pain. And so is sending gifts. So. Much. Tapping. Sending and receiving gifts takes ages. Just like everything else in Pokemon GO, you need to tap through various animations.… [Continue Reading]

7 Things I Miss From Just Cause 2

March 5, 2021March 5, 2021 aabicus 0 Comments comparison, criticism, just cause 2

Just Cause 2 is definitely one of my favorite games of all time, at least in the top 3. It’s the perfect mix of mobility, environmental destruction, and cheesy B-grade voice-acting. It makes you feel like you’re starring in a very explosive action movie. I have hundreds of hours in the single-player and multiplayer modes combined. I keep finding myself coming back despite having less and less available to do in my save file. So finally, during the last Steam Winter sale, I finally bought the complete Just Cause 3 collection for only $4 so I could see where the… [Continue Reading]

I Really, Really Want a Break From Kanto Pokemon

March 4, 2021February 25, 2021 Medic 0 Comments event, kanto, pokemon go

I was kinda hoping that, with the Kanto Celebration ending, we’d get a bit of a break from Kanto Pokemon. There’s 151 of them, making it one of the bigger regions with the most Pokemon. Out of the Pokedexes in Pokemon GO, only Unova beats out Kanto, with 156 Pokemon. That being said, there’s at least 300 Pokemon in other regions, and none of them get a look in. It’s… getting silly. Despite this event ending, we’re still getting Kanto Pokemon. Having a look at the upcoming March events, there’s STILL a heavy lean on Kanto Pokemon. Sure, we are… [Continue Reading]

How Cheap is an Oxium Osprey to Make?

March 3, 2021February 26, 2021 Medic 0 Comments corpus, oxium, warframe

The Oxium Osprey is a curious little robot. Most Corpus robotics will simply shoot at invading Tenno. However, the Oxium Osprey has a different choice of combat. While it does have a small laser turret, Oxium Ospreys stop using them as soon as they take damage to their shields. Once damaged, an Oxium Osprey will charge at you and then explode, killing itself in the process. If you kill the Oxium Osprey before it explodes, you can take its Oxium for yourself. If it self-destructs manually, the Oxium disappears. What is Oxium though? Oxium is a lighter-than-air alloy. It’s a… [Continue Reading]

In Defense of Octavia Prime’s ‘Plain’ Look

March 2, 2021February 24, 2021 Medic 0 Comments octavia, octavia prime, warframe

We’re reaching the point where the fancier frames are getting Primed now. Octavia is one of those fancy frames. She’s brightly coloured, dances around and has a cool gimmick. Compared to earlier frames, Octavia has a lot going for her. However, it seems that a lot of people think her Prime isn’t very fancy. In fact, I’ve seen quite a few people complain that Octavia Prime is very plain, unlike previous Primes. While Octavia Prime certainly doesn’t need some random yellow Volt to defend her, I still kinda want to talk about this. Octavia Prime is fancy enough. I mean,… [Continue Reading]
