On Summer Slam 2018 and Wrestling Entertainment

Yes this is a random screenshot of a wrestling arena done in Garry's Mod.

Why the fuck did I stay up until 6:15am to watch a fricking Pay Per View wrestling show? Probably because my brother asked nicely, and he said this one would be fun. This one being Summer Slam 2018, with a bunch of pretty standard fights and a lot of belts and rivalries that needed sorting out. I didn’t actually pay for it, mind you. There’s a €10 a month subscription to the WWE network and it lets you watch pretty much any wrestling match from the WWE ever. Frankly, that’s a pretty good deal if you like wrestling as much… [Continue Reading]

A Deserted AI, Trapped Forever in Space

Volt holding Pherliac pods as Infested attacl

Just as I started writing this article, I realised that I hadn’t really covered the Sacrifice in any meaningful way. I did a spoiler-free review when I completed the quest and I wrote about the Warframe you get from it. I also wrote about the vile treatment of Ordis during that quest. But I didn’t write about the quest itself. It was okay, but Ordis’s treatment in that quest makes me sad. Which reminded me of another unfortunate Cephalon. And that brings me nicely to the ancient quest known as the Jordas Precept. On the scale of good and bad… [Continue Reading]

The Anti-Roller

"G'Day, madame! How can I assist you?" Limbo

Rolling is good in Warframe. It’s amazing. Rolling makes you a smaller target. Rolling makes you take less damage. Rolling enables you to reposition and change your direction in an instant. Rolling is a key part of being able to traverse maps quickly and efficiently. The only negative thing about rolling is the fact that it cancels reload animations, but rolling with some weapons at the end of the reload can shave a few seconds off. Basically, rolling is great. Unless you’re playing Limbo. You see, Limbo doesn’t roll. When Limbo does his equivalent of a roll, he enters the… [Continue Reading]

“Ya Wanna See Mah Pokemans?” Part 2 – Some More Pokemon GO

Phovos and Volt, the Jolteon buddy

So I’ve been playing Pokemon GO for about a week now. To the point that I better understand how everything works. And I actually have some good Pokemon now. I’ve completed various things, am on part 3 of 8 when it comes to the Mew quest and am now level 20. It turns out, come level 20, that is when the real grind starts. Up until now, it’s all been rather easy. I’ve actually been leveling up all over the place. Things definitely felt slower around levels 17-19, but from about level 6 to level 10, it all happened so… [Continue Reading]

On Acolytes and How Wrong They Are

I went and bought the noggles for these folks since you can't spawn them in Captura and trying to get a good shot of one in a mission is a pain in the ass. Yes, I spent 165 Platinum on some noggles.

The Acolytes have just fled again, after a week of, er, ‘terrorizing’ poor, needy Tenno. The appearance of the Acolytes always beings excitement, fear and anticipation to many Tenno for a variety of reasons, but really, the whole thing just makes no sense. Alright, firstly, the only real reason people like the Acolytes is because they drop super rare mods that only one is available elsewhere. Blood Rush is available in the A Rotation of rewards in Lua Spy missions. Everything else is locked behind a bunch of mini-bosses that only come once every six months. The drop rates aren’t… [Continue Reading]

2000th Article Contest Winners

Jua's picture of aabicus on a horse

I’m a pretty shitty salesman. I suck at advertising. You can tell, just by looking at how many entries we got in the 2000th Article Contest. Like, 5. It’s my fault, I didn’t really do much advertising. Couldn’t really due to being ill and depressed and having work and stuff to do. So we ended up only getting a handful of entries, which wasn’t helped due to my Reddit posts all being downvoted to heck. It’s almost as if people don’t like any sort of advertising what so ever, even if there are prizes involved. I specifically made this a… [Continue Reading]

Ten More Really Fucking Annoying Warfame Enemies

"ROCKETS. NOTHING BUT ROCKETS. DIE TENNO SKOOM!"

There’s lots of enemies in Warframe but some of them are really fucking annoying. While things like Nullifiers, as mentioned in the previous article of annoying Warframe enemies, are less annoying now, that doesn’t mean that there’s still a bunch of bastards all waiting to ruin your day. Rattels These little yellow bastards come from nigh invisible blue spawning pads, dropped by Corpus Snipers. You’ll be sitting there happily doing a defense mission when you suddenly see your shields trickling away, only to find that there’s a Rattel zapping you with electricity. “Reinforced” Glass The Corpus aren’t known for their… [Continue Reading]

Fallout 4, Beauty and Grace with Radiation

This explosion should have killed us all.

“I got you a game!” Brother says as he throws a plastic bag at me. “Noooo!” I scream as I stare at my overflowing Steam library, filled with unplayed games. “It’s Fallout 4 though! Game of the Year version! Only cost €15!” Brother counters, thrusting the game into my hands. “You like Fallout, right?” Actually, I don’t really like Fallout. It’s a cool world but it’s too slow and too close to real life. I’ve always been way more of a fantasy person, never been a fan of post-apocalyptic scenarios in radiation-filled landscapes. But Fallout 4 was a gift and… [Continue Reading]

Misfit Eidolon Hunt

The Plains of Eidolon

“We’re going on an Eidolon hunt!” Frost exclaimed as he rummaged through his arsenal, looking for weapons to take with him. “We’re gonna murder some monsters!” “No, we’re going to capture one monster…” Volt sighed. “Maybe.” “Mate, I haven’t really done this before, just been carried by others!” Frost exclaimed. “I mean, I have a tier 2 Amp for my real self from being carried but I kinda… just did nothing while they killed the Teralyst. Are we going to kill all three?” Volt sighed again. “I just told you. We’re going to capture the Teralyst and see how we… [Continue Reading]

The Problems With Sanctuary Onslaught

Sanctuary Onslaught, the starting room

Sanctuary Onslaught is one of the best ways to level things up. There’s generally a lot of enemies around and they increase in level pretty quickly, meaning your weapons level up pretty fast. It’s a silly, mindless game mode. But it’s also a fucking infuriating game mode at times for various reasons. The first reason is actually reasonably simple. If you’ve already got one or two nuking characters playing, then you’re a dead weight to the team. There’s not enough killing to go around, especially when you’ve got a Saryn turning everyone into toxic mists and filling the room full… [Continue Reading]
