A Little Look At Pokemon Spawns Near My Home

Pokemon Go Buddy Update with Giratina

I’ve been doing some… experimenting lately. I’ve actually been leaving my game open in Pokemon Go for long periods of time. Originally, I was just trying to hatch eggs. Using something called GPS Drift, your avatar in Pokemon Go will wander around, even if you don’t move. But this movement isn’t pointless. With enough patience, you can use it to hatch eggs! And, if you have really shoddy GPS, you can also get the 50km walking milestone. But as I had my game open, I noticed some things. Namely, how Pokemon spawn around me. I have one spawn at my… [Continue Reading]

I Wish My Pokemon Go Buddy Was Permanent

by
Medic and his Giratina

We’ve been able to have a buddy in Pokemon Go for a really long time. Your buddy adventures alongside you, collecting candies when you’ve walked specific distances. The new buddy system added last year however allows you to have your buddy out in the real world. They actually get to explore the map with you! However, like all good things, there’s a cost. You need to feed your Pokemon berries, to make them motivated. That totally sucks. I wish my Pokemon Go buddy was permanent! Or, at the very least, a toggle you can turn on and off. And frankly,… [Continue Reading]

I Don’t Like Saryn

by
Saryn and a Nidus Specter

I’ve never particularly liked Saryn, both as a frame to play as and a frame to play with. Saryn is probably the ultimate nuker, destroying rooms with ease. And because of her damage combinations, she does it better than anyone else. To the point that two Saryns are detrimental together, and things like Elite Sanctuary Onslaught become trivial. Saryn kills with ease. Before level 40 though, even a lowly modded Saryn can still nuke maps by pressing 4. Any time, as long as there’s some enemies around, Saryn can spread spores around and do massive Corrosive damage to enemies. With… [Continue Reading]

Use Whatever Colours You Want

by
An awesome Volt and an awesome Zenistar

I’ve sometimes spent hours trying to make myself a new colour scheme for one of my various Warframes. With so many colour palettes and cosmetic options, it’s hard to be decisive. But at the same time, it’s also sometimes tricky to make yourself unique. Some people will worry that they look cliche to edgy or whatever. My suggestion? Just do what you want. It’s not like anyone else will really notice. Wear the colours you want. I like the colour yellow, so I wear the colour yellow. As to why I like the colour yellow? I don’t know, I just… [Continue Reading]

What the Fuck is up with Warframe’s Lore? Too Many Puppets!

by
Infested Operator skin, infested sword skin, infested Volt Tennogen skin

Ugh, everyone in Warframe is a damn puppet. Almost literally everyone. Warframe’s lore is incredibly all over the place. However you look at it, it’s easy to miss some details. Most of the lore in Warframe is buried away, or hidden in little crevices. But no matter what, even if you are completely lost, you can assume that someone is a puppet to someone else. You are a puppet as soon as the game starts. In the very introduction to Warframe, the first thing you experience is Captain Vor sticking a device on you so he can control you. He… [Continue Reading]

If I Could Completely Rework the Pyro…

by
Pyro is basically a furry anyway.

I’ll be honest, I’m not the biggest fan of the Pyro. The reason why is simple: Pyro is a close range class in a game filled with mid-range characters. That and the fact that the flamethrower just feels off compared to almost all other weapons in the game. Everything else shoots bullets or projectiles. Everything else is pretty clear that it hit you or damaged you. Flamethrowers are not the same. You get stray bits of flame that hit you or don’t hit you. Pyro overall is a jumbled mess of things that needs yet another complete rework anyway. So… [Continue Reading]

A Random Ramble About Pizza

Pizza is great. Anyone who says they hate pizza is lying, or either allergic to gluten or lactose or something. Or maybe they just haven’t had a pizza they liked yet. Frankly, it’s a nice, filling meal that’s easy to make and enjoyed by most people. Regardless of age. I could be 80 and still want pizza. It’s just so damn versatile! A pizza for everyone. The most obvious cool thing about pizza is that you can have so many different toppings. Nearly anything works, from a variety of cheeses, to grilled vegetables, to a wide array of meats. There… [Continue Reading]

5 Reasons Why I Don’t Think We Should Have More Open Worlds in Warframe

by
The Plains of Eidolon in stormy weather

Last week’s Nightwave task included doing 5 different bounties in the Orb Vallis. At minimum, this meant doing the 5 bounties Eudico offers, although the Profit Taker heists also count. While the bounties aren’t particularly hard, they are… incredibly boring and simple. I somewhat mindlessly worked my way through the Nightwave task and then just moved on. Despite being a cool place to visit, I had little reason to stick around. And in all honesty, the same applies to the Plains of Eidolon. While these two areas are cool, I really don’t think we need any more. We’ll probably end… [Continue Reading]

On the Hunger Meter in Minecraft and Why I Hate it

by
Minecraft Melon World

For modern players, the Hunger Meter is a staple of Minecraft. You need to keep yourself full of food, and you regenerate health when your hunger meter is full. To accommodate for this, there are tons of food items to farm or craft. From pork chops and chicken to berries, bread and honey, all the way to cake and pumpkin stew, there’s food for everyone. But for a long time, there was no hunger meter in Minecraft. It wasn’t always there. Funnily enough, Hunger only became a thing when Minecraft was just about to come out of beta. In Minecraft… [Continue Reading]

5 Tiny Little Warframe Things I Forgot To Do

by
Nova on a K-Drive. Technically it's faster to use Nova's portals, but whatever.

When you’re looking around scrounging for the last few scraps of mastery, you tend to look quite deeply. This often leads to things you might have missed out on. Like the Dera Vandal. But there’s also a bunch of other things I’ve actually forgotten to do too! Here’s a few things that are worth checking to see if you have done. Finish grinding Vent Kids Standing I’m only like rank 2 with the Vent Kids. But honestly, getting standing for the Vent Kids kinda sucks. There’s only one reliable option, and that’s to do races. But unlike affinity for K-Drives… [Continue Reading]
