Mirage – The Other Trickster Warframe

Medic 0 Comments ,

When it comes to trickery, it generally arrives in two forms – either the quiet, stealthy form that Loki embodies, or the “holy shit my eyes are burning” flashiness that Mirage personifies. Loki is stealthy, Mirage is completely in your face, blinding you with flashy effects, disco balls of death and duplicates of herself. There’s nothing too fancy about Mirage. Her first ability spawns up to copies of herself, confusing enemies and quadrupling your bullet output. Her second ability can stop traps and cameras, and also places a small, glittering mine that damages enemies. Her third ability buffs her damage… [Continue Reading]

The JackBox Party Pack 5 – Damn Insanity

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

Whenever sister and her boyfriend pop round, you can guarantee that brother will grab his laptop and dig out one of the Jackbox Party Packs. Quiplash, Drawful and Survive the Internet are all favourites in this household, but recently, brother announced that he had a new game: The Jackbox Party Pack 5. Of course, hilarity followed as we tried all the games in the pack. First off was You Don’t Know Jack. It’s your standard quiz game, with players winning money for correct answers and losing money for wrong ones. The 5th Party Pack’s version of You Don’t Know Jack… [Continue Reading]

Saryn is a very good-looking frame too.

Spores, Spores and More Spores – Slaying with Saryn

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

There are four base elements in Warframe and six combination elements. There are also Warframes that mainly use a single element. Fire, Cold and Electricity are covered by Ember, Frost and Volt. Toxin is… kinda covered by Saryn. But she’s way more toxic than just Toxin alone. She’s viral too. She’s… something else. Oh and she’s insanely powerful. But let’s start off with the pain in the ass it is to obtain Saryn. You see, she’s locked away behind the Kela De Thayme fight. Which is a good fight in of itself, but it requires you to fight on the… [Continue Reading]

Garuda and a MOA companion. Not a fan of either of them, to be honest.

Pretty, Bloody but not very useful – Garuda

Medic 0 Comments , ,

Garuda is the Warframe that was released alongside Fortuna, having been hyped as the “blood and gore” Warframe. But after I worked my ass off trying to get her… it turns out I don’t like Garuda. And it seems as though I’m the minority when it comes to that opinion. Right off the bat, Garuda is a bit of a problem. You see, she LOOKS like she is easy to obtain. Her blueprint is acquired after the Vox Solaris quest that introduces you to Fortuna and her component blueprints drop The drop rates on her Neuroptics, Chassis and Systems are… [Continue Reading]

Quest for a Wired, Nutty Ditto – Let’s Go, Meltan

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

To coincide with the release of the new Let’s Go: Pikachu and Eevee games on the Nintendo Switch, Pokemon Go received an update and a mini event. The update includes a quest that rewards you with a brand new Pokemon, exclusive to the Switch games and Pokemon Go – the weird thing known as Meltan. Meltan first appeared after the Chikorita community day, replacing all the Chikoritas and other Pokemon who were roaming around. I actually saw one before the event ended, sitting between a couple of Chikoritas, and assumed it was just a broken placeholder or something, especially considering… [Continue Reading]

On Tyranitar

Medic 0 Comments , ,

“Τί θα χρησιμοποιείτε για το raid?” (“What will you use for the raid?”) is a phrase I ask before most level 4 or 5 raids in Pokemon Go. I always ask my fellow players what Pokemon they will use to beat the shit out of some poor raid boss. The answer though is always the same. “Tyranitar.” “Τίποτε άλλο?” (“Anything else?”) “Μόνο Tyranitar.” Every time. Occasionally you will get the odd Mewtwo or Gengar, always with Shadow Ball. Sometimes one of the older players will have a Rayquaza or a Ho-Oh. Occasionally for a level 4 raid you’ll see the… [Continue Reading]

On Mewtwo

Medic 0 Comments , ,

While we’re on the subject of Pokemon, I think it’s worth having a quick chat about Mewtwo. Because Mewtwo is by far the best legendary Pokemon. By far. You ask someone to name a rare, legendary Pokemon, chances are, it’s Mewtwo. Heck, Mewtwo’s so badass that he was the first legendary Pokemon to get a Mega Evolution. For someone so old, Mewtwo still has a ton of pulling power. A lot of it has to do with the fact that pretty much everyone my age watched that first Pokemon movie. Sure, Mewtwo’s the bad guy, but he’s a smart Pokemon… [Continue Reading]

The Horrible Realization That Everything I Know is Wrong

Medic 0 Comments ,

I don’t know how I’ve managed this, but really, I’ve been throwing Pokeballs wrong the entire time I’ve been playing Pokemon Go. And basically I’ve been an idiot in general when it comes to this silly little mobile game. I’m not really sure where to start on this. I suppose it all begins with my sister introducing me to the game one day when she had a day off work and I met up with her in town. I installed the game while we had a drink in a local cafe and she showed me the basics of the game,… [Continue Reading]

On Deoxys and Ex Raids

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

My first Ex Raid may have been a total disaster for me, but I got over my anger and started playing Pokemon Go again. Quite obviously if you’re a regular reader, since I published an article about Pokemon Go’s Gengar event the other day, not to mention the fact that I managed to catch 108 Pokemon for the Spiritomb research. Since that Ex Raid, I’ve done two more and was going to be invited to do another but unfortunately I had work. Clearly something must have changed since I did that first raid, because Deoxys was much easier to catch… [Continue Reading]

Running Out of Standing

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

In Warframe, ‘standing’ is a currency. Not only does standing measure your rank within a syndicate, from anything from the bickering relay Syndicates to the unplayed Conclave to the secretive Quills and Nox Solaris, but it’s also a currency that you can use to buy things. It’s basically using reputation with a group as cash. Standing can be earned in a huge number of ways, depending on each Syndicate. The six normal Syndicates all have daily missions which reward more standing based on your rank, as well as medallions which can be traded in for standing later on, and you… [Continue Reading]
