A Review of Suicide Squad That Isn’t Really a Review

September 10, 2021September 1, 2021 Medic 0 Comments dc, movie, review

The other week, I went to see Suicide Squad with some family. I’ve always been a fan of super hero movies, and people were saying that this one was good. At the very least, it couldn’t have been much worse than the previous Suicide Squad, right? Well, yes, it was better. But something about Suicide Squad bothered me. Before I get to that, let’s just cover the basics. SOME SPOILERS AHEAD, YOU ARE BEING WARNED NOW. IF YOU DON’T WANT THE MOVIE TO BE SPOILED, THEN LEAVE NOW. And preferably go watch the movie. Because it was legitimately a lot… [Continue Reading]

My Weird Way of Naming Pokemon in Pokemon GO

September 9, 2021August 31, 2021 Medic 0 Comments houndour, naming, pokemon, pokemon go, random

Whenever I browse my Friends List, looking to send gifts, I always tend to note what their Pokemon Buddies are called. After all, pretty much everyone in Pokemon GO has a buddy. What’s interesting though is when you can see their companion’s names. Many people have slightly different ways of naming their Pokemon. Some people just leave their buddy unnamed, but I like seeing people walking their Hundos and Shinies. It’s pretty obvious when someone is walking a 100% IVs Pokemon too. Either they have 100% in the Pokemon’s name, or a 15/15/15. Occasionally, you’ll also see the odd 14… [Continue Reading]

Railjack Endless Missions Are Boring

September 8, 2021August 30, 2021 Medic 0 Comments corpus, empyrean, endless, railjack, rant, warframe

When it comes to Railjack Endless Missions, the whole idea is actually pretty new. Corpus Proxima missions were only added this year. However, with new nodes being added, like Corpus Survival, the Corpus Proxima areas just aren’t that fun. And, somehow, they also manage to make endless missions like Survival boring too. Your ship is just a taxi. In Railjack endless missions like Defense and Survival, your ship doesn’t matter at all. Sure, there’s probably some sort of side objective that needs doing, like blowing up a ship or something. But afterwards, you just park your ship near the Corpus… [Continue Reading]

Perennial – A Free Bite-Sized Horror Game Worth Playing

September 7, 2021October 14, 2021 aabicus 0 Comments free, horror, perennial, recommendation, short, survival

I was originally going to include Perennial in my previous article about short, free, low-poly horror games, but I quickly found I had a lot more to say about this one. Perennial is a free game on itch.io you could go download right now. It was made as part of the Haunted PS1 2018 game jam by a single developer within a month. The player character has returned to their childhood park to spend a nostalgic night under the stars. However, when darkness falls they find a mysterious creature stalking them through the familiar woods. The gameplay consists of navigating the… [Continue Reading]

Building for Volt’s Electric Shield

September 6, 2021August 28, 2021 Medic 0 Comments build, volt, volt prime, warframe

Long-time readers may have noticed that I have a… thing for Volt. My bright yellow electric space ninja has a lot of mileage on it. In Warframe, Volt and Volt Prime make up about 40% of total usage. The next closest Warframes after Volt Prime (30%) and Volt (10%) are Khora and Ivara, with about 15% between them. During this time, I have written a LOT about both Volt and his builds. I have both a general-usage build and a 1-forma build for Sanctuary Onslaught. Both of these builds surround playing with specific parts of Volt’s kit. The general usage… [Continue Reading]

Denial

September 5, 2021August 28, 2021 Medicinal Warlock 0 Comments Genshin Impact

Yoimiya is the newest limited 5-star banner character to be added into Genshin Impact at the point of writing. And she has problems. A lot of problems. So many problems in fact that there is a whole list of them compiled in a single Reddit post with videos demonstrating said problems. To summarize the list, these are her main issues (if you are interested, please read the actual Reddit post, /u/PartyConfetti gives a really thorough breakdown on Yoimiya’s issues, and I cannot do that post justice here): Genshin’s auto-targetting for bow users have always been unreliable, but Yoimiya is the… [Continue Reading]

Back 4 Blood Beta Review

September 4, 2021August 28, 2021 aabicus 0 Comments back 4 blood, beta, early review, first impressions, first thoughts, Left 4 Dead 2, open beta, review, spuf of legend, zombies

I was lucky enough to get to play the Back 4 Blood beta thanks to my friend AngelOfWeir gifting me a pass! I will admit going in that I had some serious reservations about what I’d seen. After over 1800 hours in the Left 4 Dead, Payday, and Killing Floor franchises, I was seeing some massive issues in the early streams. So I was very happy to play the beta and see that all of the issues I was concerned about got fixed. Here are some reasons I’m definitely gonna buy the game when it comes out: 1. The zombies… [Continue Reading]

A Medic Appreciation Post

September 3, 2021August 27, 2021 Medic 0 Comments healing, medic, overwatch, Team Fortress 2

It’s been ages since I last played Team Fortress 2. Lately, I haven’t had the appetite to play a PvP shooter game. Between the randomness, the crits and the bots, Team Fortress 2 is kinda unfriendly these days. But there’s still always something that just amazes me about Team Fortress 2, even if I no longer play it. Today, we are going to appreciate the Medic from Team Fortress 2. A character that I literally named myself after. One of the best healers, ever. Years back, a League of Legends developer complained that making health numbers go up was boring.… [Continue Reading]

Walking a Buddy for Fun

September 2, 2021August 26, 2021 Medic 0 Comments buddy, buddy system, fun, pokemon go

Every time I start getting close to reaching Best Buddies, I go through the same old predicament. Once my current Pokemon buddy reaches Best Buddies, what do I walk in its place? There are so many Pokemon to choose from, and some will resonate more than others. Now, I’ve written in the past about what Pokemon you should buddy with. But that little guide really doesn’t help to narrow down the list that much. After all, there are so many Pokemon that we get attached to, ones that are useful and ones that are cool. But I feel like I’m… [Continue Reading]

I Can’t Wait for Crossplay in Warframe

September 1, 2021August 25, 2021 Medic 0 Comments crossplay, mobile, tennocon 2021, warframe

I play a lot of Warframe. According to Steam, I have over 4000 hours in Warframe, way ahead of any other game I play. The only two games that get anywhere close to Warframe are Team Fortress 2 at 1700 hours, and an unknown about of time in Minecraft. However, I’ve only ever played Warframe on PC, since I don’t own any consoles myself. So, when Digital Extremes announced Crossplay for Warframe, I was actually very surprised. We’ve all wanted Crossplay for years. At the time of writing, we actually don’t know that much about what Warframe’s Crossplay will entail.… [Continue Reading]
