Tenno of Anarchy

July 26, 2018November 5, 2018 Medic 0 Comments clan, warframe

I’ve spoken a lot about my Warframe clan. The article about building and decorating featured things built in the Tenno of Anarchy dojo. A couple of articles have used screenshots of squad mates, and one of those were taken from the clan’s showcase, which randomly shows 4 members of the clan in their currently equipped frames. Tenno of Anarchy isn’t a big clan at all, but for some reason I’ve stuck around. I’ll start off by saying that normally I’m not a clan person. Prior to Warframe, the most clan-like things I’ve been a part of are SPUF, subSPUF and… [Continue Reading]

Sorry, I fucked up.

July 24, 2018 Medic 0 Comments oops

If you’re seeing this, sorry. I totally fucked up. Turns out I somehow tabbed off the main typing area here on WordPress, pressed tab a bunch more times trying to work out what I was doing, hit Enter and accidentally published an article I was writing. That article happened to be the 2000 post celebratory article. I mean, out of ALL the articles I could have accidentally published, it had to be that one. So I’ve had to go through all our social media and delete the articles. But I can’t go through and delete the article emails that you’ve… [Continue Reading]

Zephyr – A Canary in a Cage

July 24, 2018July 22, 2018 Medic 0 Comments birdy, warframe, zephyr

Zephyr sits at the bottom of my list of Warframes, looking at me longingly every time I scroll down to select Volt or Volt Prime. She squeaks and caws, thinking I might pick her, knowing full well that I want my electric space ninja more than anything else. But lately I’ve been expanding my horizons a little bit. Playing more than just Volt with a hint of Khora and Ivara. Volt’s my main Warframe. Ivara‘s for Spy missions, Plains of Eidolon things and the occasional Riven Challenge. Khora is my go-to lazy frame for when I just want a mission… [Continue Reading]

Mods for Almost Everything

July 23, 2018July 19, 2018 Medic 0 Comments mods, ramble, warframe

It’s amazing how many mods there in Warframe. Mods for your weapons, mods for your Sentinels, mods for your cats, dogs and infested monsters, mods for your Warframes themselves, mods for your Archwings and mods for your Archwing weapons. With the Sacrifice, we got the ability to mod Exalted Weapons, the weapons created from Warframe abilities (named after Excaliur’s Exalted Blade ability). There’s only three things that you can’t shove a mod into: your Space Kid, your Space Kid’s arm cannon and your ship. Chances are, at some point, you’ll be able to shove mods into them too. It actually… [Continue Reading]

An Inability to Explain Quests In A Logical Manner

July 21, 2018July 19, 2018 Medic 0 Comments justification, ramble, theory, warframe

I always try to justify things. Call it idiotic and dumb, but I like to think of in-world reasons as to why things are the way they are and why we can do things again and again and again. Like explaining how there can be two Medics on a team fighting against five Engineers. Or explaining how you are capable of killing Warframe bosses repeatedly. But this gets really hard to justify the deeper you go into a game. When I first started playing Warframe, I didn’t get that same old feeling I often do with video games, that I’m… [Continue Reading]

I Don’t Know What I’m Doing

July 20, 2018July 16, 2018 Medic 0 Comments fluke

I was in Larunda Relay the other day, when someone asked if someone could give them a hand. I wasn’t doing anything (had just dropped off a medallion to max out Perrin Sequence and get to rank 4) so I said I’d help. He wanted to measure how Coaction Drift worked with Aura mods. Coaction Drift claims to give 15% Aura Strength and 15% Aura Effectiveness. What that actually means, I still don’t really know. We spent 20 minutes messing around with Auras and Corrosive Projection and I don’t think the guy got the answers he was eventually looking for.… [Continue Reading]

Left 4 Dead – My First Game on Steam

July 19, 2018July 16, 2018 Medic 0 Comments l4d, l4d2, left 4 dead, nostalgia, ramble

I still vaguely remember buying Left 4 Dead. It was a long time ago. I was on holiday in the UK visiting my family. We were in the town where we used to live when I lived in the UK too, in the town centre, going through a gaming shop of some sort. I picked Left 4 Dead up for £15 and happily took it back to my grandma’s. I wouldn’t be able to replay until I returned home, a week or so later. That was also when I made my Steam account, which is now, what, 8 years old?… [Continue Reading]

Is that a ship coming to pick you up? A Tenno ship?

And We All Grind Together… Together…

July 17, 2018July 12, 2018 Medic 0 Comments fortuna, future update, grind, warframe

Someone for the love of all that is good and pure, please help me get this fucking song out of my head. Ever since the Tennocon reveal of Fortuna, I have had the song We All Life Together stuck in my head. On loop. And now I’m going to put it in your heads so you can all be stuck as well. Seriously though, as many parodies of the song have already suggested, there will be a LOT of grind in Fortuna. If anything, the Corpus have always been more grindy than the Grineer. They’re obsessed with loot and credits.… [Continue Reading]

Interaction Design and the User Experience

July 16, 2018July 12, 2018 Medic 0 Comments design, ramble, rant, ui, ux

Don’t mind me. Just summarizing what I’ve been learning lately. But I feel a LOT of this could be applied to gaming, so maybe it might interest you as well. Interaction design focuses on how people use and work with devices and other products, such as computers and smartphones, but also how they work with interfaces in general, such as that of smart watches and ATMs, anything with an interface. The context of interaction design is on users, activities and environments, with users focusing on physical, sensory and cognitive capabilities, while environments include not just location, but also the setting,… [Continue Reading]

Dakka and Twin Dakka

July 15, 2018July 11, 2018 Medic 0 Comments boolet, dakka, grakata, grineer, warframe

There’s no such thing as too much Dakka. You can never fire too many bullets. Overkill doesn’t exist. Everything must die in a hail of bullets and explosions. And what better weapon to do that with than the Grakata. Yes, the Grakata. The weird, ugly, Ork-like, Grineer-based automatic rifle, spraying bullets at your enemies. Sure there’s only a clip size of about 60, but that’s better than a lot of guns, and a speedy reload means you’ll be shooting again in no time. The heavy Bzzting and Dakkaing are enough to keep most enemies at bay, even if you haven’t… [Continue Reading]
