The Easy Way of Leveling up Archwings – 3 Reasons why Salacia is the best Archwing mission.

September 20, 2021September 13, 2021 Medic 1 Comment affinity, affinity farm, archwing, warframe

Archwing is a very hit-or-miss game mode. While a lot of Archwing stuff has been tied up in other game modes, the solo Archwing experience is not particularly popular. With only a handful of nodes, there is often no real reason to play Archwings more than once. However, there is a LOT of Archwing gear that needs leveling up, and if you want plenty of mastery, then leveling Archwings up becomes a bit of a chore. You can’t reliably level up on Railjack missions, since your Railjack tends to suck up all the kills and mastery. The open worlds are… [Continue Reading]

Editor’s note: The article you are about to read was originally written in 2008 by my mum, an all-round amazing woman. Today would have been her birthday, so, instead of writing something myself, I am publishing this article in her memory. Mum was simply the best person ever, who inspired me to start writing myself. It’s an honour to be able to share some of her work with you. I hope you all enjoy this sliver of my mum’s brilliance and insanity.

Masks. You put them on at the beginning of a heist when you want to leave casing mode, and that’s about all there is to them, right? Wrong! It turns out there are actually three masks with a special ability, night-vision, which you can toggle by holding down the Weapon Fire Mode button, default “V” on PC. There is no downside to equipping these masks, you just get free night-vision no matter what build or loadout you have. Today, we’re covering 3 Masks with Night Vision in Payday 2. Starting with #1… 1. Batshit Crazy “Batshit Crazy” comes with a… [Continue Reading]

7 Tips for Leveling Up Your Buddy in Pokemon GO

September 17, 2021September 7, 2021 Medic 0 Comments advice, buddy, buddy system, pokemon go, tips

Pokemon GO’s buddy system is somewhat weird. Walking a buddy used to just be a way to earn candy. But now, your buddy can earn XL and Mega candt, show you Pokestops you haven’t spun before and gives you presents of varying value. At Best Buddy, your Pokemon gains an extra level, which can take a Pokemon to level 51 at most. However, the buddy system does take a lot of time, especially if you are looking to use a Legendary Pokemon. Thankfully though, I have some tips for you that can make leveling up a buddy easier. You don’t… [Continue Reading]

Sticky Jumper vs Machine

September 16, 2021September 15, 2021 aabicus 0 Comments demoman, mann vs machine, MvM, playstyle, sticky jumper, Team Fortress 2

Happy Jump Day! Every 16th of September, The Daily SPUF celebrates Jump Day to remember the poor Sticky Jumper who lost its 3rd-8th bombs on this fateful date in 2013. As I’ve mentioned in numerous articles before, the Sticky Jumper is one of my favorite weapons. I will forever defend it as a perfectly valid playstyle in TF2. But even I didn’t think that versatility was good enough to qualify for anything beyond meme status in Mann Vs Machine! But after seeing it listed as “Usable” in this thread and this comment I decided to give it a try. I… [Continue Reading]

Star Wars: Republic Commando, a 2021 Review

September 15, 2021September 13, 2021 aabicus 0 Comments first thoughts, republic commando, retrospective, review, shooter, star wars

Growing up, I loved Star Wars Battlefront II and its predecessor. It probably still ranks in my top 3 games of all time. But I’d actually never played Republic Commando until this year, despite knowing it was another iconic Star Wars shooter from the same era. Now that I’ve played it, I can 100% see what all the hype was about. The first thing you’ll notice while playing through is how modern the game feels. The controls are crisp, the sound design and lighting are immersive, and there’s a surprisingly-high emphasis on environmental storytelling. The campaigns are full of memorable… [Continue Reading]

3 Reasons Why You Should Be Playing Plague Star Right Now!

September 14, 2021September 13, 2021 Medic 0 Comments ghoulsaw, plague star, warframe

After what felt like an eternity, Plague Star is back in the Plains of Eidolon. This rather simple event involves not just Grineer but Infested too. Basically, the premise is that a meteor filled with Infested has crash-landed in the Plains of Eidolon, spreading their illness everywhere. The poor people in Cetus have no real way to protect against it, and thus hire the Tenno to help them. Luckily, the task isn’t too difficult. All you have to do is steal some Grinner toxins, stick them in a mixer then use a drone to dump said toxin onto the massive… [Continue Reading]

What the Hell is Going On With the Saints Row Reboot?

September 13, 2021September 4, 2021 Medic 0 Comments reboot, Saints Row

I like the Saints Row series. It’s fun, chaotic and much like a giant sandbox. But the Saints Row series really went off the deep end in Saints Row 4, literally destroying the whole damn planet. Somehow, Gat Out of Hell managed to follow that game, but frankly, we’re at a dead end for the series. With the planet and most of the supporting cast gone, there’s only one last avenue we can travel down. Saints Row is getting a reboot, with a brand new game, a reboot showing the start of the Saints. However, when we finally saw the… [Continue Reading]

Where Have All The Good Research Tasks Gone?

September 12, 2021September 3, 2021 Medic 0 Comments

Research tasks are integral to Pokemon GO. In exchange for a simple task, you are rewarded with useful items and Pokemon. At midnight, every day, every Pokestop gives a new research task when spun. However, some tasks are less useful than others. Since all the research tasks are limited to 3, you have to pick and choose somewhat carefully, or deleting some and keeping others. Not every task is equal. There are a lot of tasks available. While we do occasionally get new tasks, there’s always a collection of normal research tasks available all the time. These include basic tasks… [Continue Reading]

I Finally Figured Out Why I Do and Don’t Like Destiny 2

September 11, 2021September 2, 2021 Medic 0 Comments coop, destiny 2, hate, love, shooter

I have a massive love/hate relationship with Destiny 2. It’s a game that I have drifted to and from, right from the start. Okay, sure, I never played Destiny 1. But when the beta came out on PC, aabicus and I played it, doing the one available strike on Nesus. While it was, well, alright, Destiny 2 didn’t really stick to me. In fact, many of the previous articles I have written about Destiny 2 have been somewhat negative. In the mean time, I played other games. Warframe is the big name among them, and had just the right balance… [Continue Reading]
