The Heirloom Collection is Straight Up Bad

During Tennocon, we were shown two new skins, one for Frost and one for Mag. These skins were really nice and came with a new type of accessory, a halo. However, we soon found out that these skins were cash only, and were filled with other items to pad out the price. The community wasn’t too happy. Now, we’ve had expensive items before. Prime Access, instant access to new Primed Warframes and weapons, is incredibly expensive. And if you wanted the Primed Accessories to go with your new Warframes, you’d have to buy the full Prime Access, which could easily… [Continue Reading]

The Final Piece of Pirate Fashion

When I first started playing Sea of Thieves, I didn’t have much when it came to clothing. I also had basically no gold, so there wasn’t much I could buy anyway. However, after a few hours of playing, I did unlock some clothing from the season pass though, and I put together what I thought was a pretty simple outfit. Apparently, this outfit was really cool, according to other people, and I quite liked it as well, since it matched together quite nicely. At the next outpost, I bought a couple of pairs of boots and a hat to go… [Continue Reading]

On Twitch Drops

While I’m not really a fan of watching streamers on Twitch, I do like Twitch Drops. The concept is stupidly simple. All you have to do is make people watch a stream for a certain amount of time and they get a nice, shiny reward. The usefulness of the reward is always a bit uncertain, but it’s free, so people will take it. There are two games I play on the regular that do Twitch Drops, Sea of Thieves and Warframe. But while they both have Twitch Drops, they do so in quite different ways. Sea of Thieves Twitch Drops… [Continue Reading]

Thoughts on Soulframe from Tennocon 2023

Tennocon has been and gone, but we got to see a lot of stuff. One of the cooler things was the intro into Tennolive, the big content reveal, and it started off with Soulframe, the other game Digital Extremes is making. After a long wait, people didn’t seem that happy to have a massive Soulframe trailer before their Warframe stuff, but it was interesting to see. Soulframe looks like a sort of Elden-ring-y sort of thing, with combat similar to that of the Drifter in Duviri. You’re mostly restricted to melee, although it does look like you can get a… [Continue Reading]

Back on the Zariman Ten Zero

While grinding out Nightwave, I’ve had to go to the Zariman and do some missions there. Every so often there’s a Nightwave task to do “x Void Y Missions”, and none of them are particularly fun. But off I go, off to the Zariman in order to get 4500 standing for Nora. Honestly, I don’t like any of the Zariman stuff. I find it all annoying. Lore-wise, the Zariman is huge. This is the ship that got stuck in the Void, where all the adults became crazy monsters and the kids had to kill their own families. It’s where the… [Continue Reading]

The Second Legend of Monkey Island Tall Tale

On September 1st (or rather August 31st for my friends), the second Tall Tale of Monkey Island, the Quest for Guybrush, came out. It’s a tall tale set on Melee Island, the same place as the first Tall Tale. This Tall Tale had us looking for a way to save Guybrush Threepwood from the strange day dream that he is trapped in. As we sail through the sea of the damned, we get a message from Lechuck, who says that he’s basically already won and wants to take over the Sea of Thieves. But we have a plan to stop… [Continue Reading]

Galarian Birds and Master Balls

One of my favourite things in Pokemon GO is free things. In this case, I am talking about the Daily Incense. Upon using the Daily Incense, for 15 minutes, you get one spawn a minute, assuming you are moving. The spawns are generally similar to whatever Pokemon are currently spawning, so if there’s an event, you get event spawns, if there’s no event, it’s just normal stuff. However, there are three incredibly rare prizes to be won. When your Daily Incense is on, there is a chance for one of the three Galarian Birds to spawn. The Galarian Birds are… [Continue Reading]

Charmander Classic Community Day

Classic Community Days always bring back a Pokemon from the past who previously had a Community Day. In the case of Charmander, it actually already had two community days. The first one gave its evolution Charizard Blast Burn, the standard starter Pokemon fire charge move. The second gave Charizard the fast move Dragon Breath. Both are good moves in their own ways. Charmander’s Classic Community Day was the chance to get both moves at once. Are these moves any good though? Blast Burn certainly is. Charizard is pretty good in raids. Not the best (especially with the likes of Reshiram,… [Continue Reading]

On my experiences with SFM

Recently I got a request for the files of one of my SFM works that I used as a banner art for an old TF2 article. Unfortunately my laptop broke days before the request, so I lost all my SFM files and high-res renders of my old works. That surprisingly left me feeling a bit sad and empty, despite me not even remembering their existence for literal years. I can’t turn back time or have my old laptop magically fix itself though, so instead of crying over spilt milk I am simply going to talk about how good it used… [Continue Reading]

Theories on Warframe 1999

Seeing the Warframe 1999 trailer at Tennocon still blows my mind. I’ve found myself watching the whole reveal of Whispers in the Walls and Warframe 1999 multiple times now, and damn it, it makes me really hyped up. I’m way more hyped up for these two than I was for both the New War and the Duviri Paradox. Okay, granted, those two updates were good, but they took a long time to actually come out, and they didn’t really match what we saw in the original trailers. While Whispers in the Walls is still rather mindblowing, I want to focus… [Continue Reading]
