Glassmaker’s Conclusion isn’t That Satisfactory

Medic 0 Comments , , , , ,

The last part of Glassmaker is finally out, and, well, it’s all over, I guess. We get to finally confront Nihil and kick his ass. Except, well, we don’t. After doing yet another dumb clue scene, we can fight our final boss. Of course, we have to spend ages scanning a room for clues first. And then we have to do a jumping puzzle based on those clues. Then you can fight the boss. Yet again, being a Tenno in a Warframe doesn’t matter. The fight against Nihil is simple. You dodge the crystals he shoots from his head, pick… [Continue Reading]

The Weird Dead State that is Destiny 2’s In-game Communication

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

Like all modern games, Destiny 2 has an in-game chat function and in-game voice chat. The default settings are push-to-talk, but voice is enabled from the start, as is the chat feature. It’s just a feature that’s always there. After all, parts of Destiny 2 require communication and timing to complete. It’s not just mindless shooting. You need a chat feature, right? In a normal game, of course! In most games, even if you can’t use voice chat, some people will use text chat. If you have a hub area, some people may chat in it. To be fair, most… [Continue Reading]

Is There A Use to Mega Pokemon?

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

The other day, I saw my first practical use of someone using a Mega Pokemon in a raid. During a raid against Giratina, someone used a Mega Houndoom. Sadly, I was using Dragon types at the time, and because there were 15 people in the raid, it didn’t really do much. But the thought was nice, and Mega Houndoom is cool. However, just how worthwhile was that Mega Evolution? Let’s have a look. Step 1: obtaining your Mega Evolution To Mega Evolve your Houndoom for the first time, you need 200 candy. You get a maximum of 90 candy per… [Continue Reading]

A Random Drifloon Research Event

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

I’ve clearly not been paying much attention to Pokemon Go, because we have yet another community research event! This event, slap-bang in the middle of the Halloween event, is all about Drifloon! Drifloon is a cute little Pokemon that kidnaps kids if they mistake it for a real balloon. It also has the most adorable yellow and blue shiny ever, so I’m surprised that I nearly forgot about this event! Amazingly, I actually managed to get a shiny super early on. But since this research event also gives you lots of other cool rewards, it was still worth doing all… [Continue Reading]

Binding Crouch to M4/5 – The Best Thing I Ever Did in Warframe

Medic 2 Comments ,

In Warframe, you bullet jump a lot. And I mean a lot. In fact, you bullet jump so much that a daily Nightwave task is to bullet jump 150 times. That Nightwave task can be done in about 3-4 missions. Or, if you’re doing missions on Jupiter, even less. But bullet jumping can be awkward. While jumping normally is done with space, a bullet jump requires crouching and then jumping. There’s a lot of busy finger work when it comes to bullet jumping. It’s easy to get tired fingers. After all, whether you have crouch bound to Shift, Ctrl or… [Continue Reading]

Don’t Forget To Give Head Pats to Your Designers

Medic 0 Comments ,

Hi, I am Medic, and, despite the username, I am a graphic designer. That means I design graphics as part of my job. Now, graphic design isn’t the only thing I do. I am supposedly a multi-talented individual. Capable of doing lots of other things, like web design and writing as well. But graphic design is the skill I picked up the earliest. I had a copy of Corel Draw on my crappy computer when I was 11 and it all went downhill from there. Design is harder than it looks. At first glance, design seems to fall into two… [Continue Reading]

Literally Three Hours Doing A Raid

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

For the first time in ages, I had enough people around to have a party of six, including Spectre, our resident person who really really knows his Destiny 2 stuff. Spectre is the sort of person who will cheese a strike and nuke the boss with ease, leaving everyone else in the dust. And that poor bugger willingly decided to lead all five newbies through not one but two raids. I think we all underestimated how long that would take. Basically, it was hell. Okay, the first raid wasn’t so bad. Leviathan, Eater of Worlds isn’t that complicated. It just… [Continue Reading]

The Archaic Beauty That Is Windows Live Movie Maker

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

Aabicus has written an article about free tools for making videos and stuff like that. He’s a professional video editor these days. In fact, that’s aabicus’s main job now, editing and putting together videos. It’s a tough job that requires a lot of work and a lot of patience. Me on the other hand, I’m not a video editor. I’m actually not very good at video editing at all. In fact, I’m particularly stifled because I’ve never really had the… specs to do video editing. But the keen eye might notice that there ARE videos by me on the SPUF… [Continue Reading]

When A Minecraft Server Turns into a Gambling Server

Medic 0 Comments ,

I like to play a bit of Pixelmon. Pixelmon is a mod for Minecraft that basically combines Minecraft and Pokemon. The best experience to do this is on a multiplayer server. There are lots out there, but I play on one in particular. Unfortunately, this server just seems to be turning into a place to gamble. To the point that, well, I really wouldn’t recommend playing on the RC-Gamers Pixelmon servers at all. Now, I understand that servers need to make money, but… I’m going to get this out of the way first. Yes, servers need donations to keep on… [Continue Reading]

Even with Deimos, the Infested are Still Boring

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

The Heart of Deimos is the first Infested open world area. You venture through an icky, gooey, biting landscape. A place where everything wants to eat you. The Cambion Drift is an awful place. But, deep down, it’s not a completely infested hellhole. There’s Orokin architecture buried underneath. This place isn’t all Infested, it’s an amalgam of both Infested and Orokin. And the more interesting stuff is definitely the Orokin. The fact is, the Infested aren’t that… interesting. That probably seems a little mean at first. The Infested can’t help the fact that they’re the generic alien-like enemy. I suppose… [Continue Reading]
