100% Not A Newbie Anymore…

by
Volt and the Storm Above

Ever since I started playing Warframe, I’d write silly Warframe fan fictions, many of which would get posted here on the Daily SPUF should we ever be short of articles. They’d feature a young, newbie Volt and his friend, a more experienced Frost, as they wandered around the Warframe universe, generally avoiding the whole Operators Controlling Them thing. The Volt was clearly based on me, and various other characters were based on other people too. I hadn’t written one in a while. Then when I went to write one the other day, I realised I’m not actually that newbie Volt… [Continue Reading]

Angry Excalibur

by
Shiny Angry Excalibur.

By far, the Sacrifice is an amazing quest to get a new Warframe. Unlike quests like Octavia’s Anthem or the Glast Gambit, the Sacrifice hows you everything that went into making a Warframe and Warframes in general. And like older frames of the past, it rewards you with a fully built Warframe at the end. Exceeeeeept it’s never that simple. Normally newly built Warframes don’t force you out of their bodies, try to kill you and run away. Normally Warframes don’t seem to have any true sapience at all. But Excalibur Umbra? He’s still alive. And he’s very, very angry.… [Continue Reading]

The Confused Crazy Cat Lady Frame

by
Khora and her Kavat

Khora was the first Warframe released in 2018, when she was originally teased for release back in 2017, scheduled to be released alongside a Damage 2.5/3.0 update that altered how Impact, Puncture and Slash damage worked. The damage update was completely scrapped, leaving Khora very confused as what she was supposed to do and what her theme was. So we ended up with this strange, confused Khora that came with the Beasts of the Sanctuary update. Khora is the second Warframe to have her blueprint locked away in a “C Rotation reward” alongside another Warframe component, alongside Ivara, and is… [Continue Reading]

Solo – A Late Movie Review

by
This has nothing to do with the movie, I just wanted a Star Wars picture that was free to use for this article.

I’d been meaning to see Solo: A Star Wars Story on release, or at least a week after with my brother Terroxy. Somehow my Star Wars-hating sister Nommy saw it first, and it MUST have been a good movie because she enjoyed it. “It’s not a Star Wars movie!” Nommy protests. Yeah no, you like a Star Wars movie. Don’t lie to us. But me and Terroxy saw it late, the 7:45pm showing on Saturday 16th of June. And we had the WHOLE SCREEN to ourselves. Literally just the two of us in the cinema. That was cool. So yeah,… [Continue Reading]

The Sacrifice – Um… That was… Uh…

by
A tree and a sword.

So I played the Sacrifice. It wasn’t very long. I think I finished it in about 45 minutes? Not long at all. At the end of it I was all rather… uh… I don’t know. I wasn’t sure how to feel. I think deflated but not surprised is the best description. I expected more. I really did. Before we start, don’t worry, this is mostly spoiler free. I won’t go into details about what happened or anything like that. Normally me and fellow clan members can’t agree on much. But we all seemed to agree on the same thing –… [Continue Reading]

What Makes A Good Achievement?

by
Demoman beheads 3 people and gets an achievement

According to Steam, the only game I have 100% completion on is Skyrim, the normal version. The only two achievements I actively hunted were the maxing out of the Werewolf and Vampire skill trees, because I never liked the Vampire and Vampire Lord forms and the Werewolf form only lasted as long as you kept on killing people. And only a handful of other achievements made me directly do various actions, like making sure I got every single Daedric artifact on one character. But that’s only because there are certain Daedric items *cough* the Skeleton Key *cough* that don’t count… [Continue Reading]

A Brain Full of Game Stuff

by
Off to do a capture mission!

Some people have memories like sponges, they absorb everything. Some people have memories like buckets with holes in the bottom, so they forget everything. My memory is like a DIY water filter, filtering whatever passes through it, the water coming out the bottom pure and only the nasty, useless shit remaining. Simply put, I remember useless stuff but not important stuff. My brain is FULL of video game shit but I’m bad at remembering useful stuff. But video game stuff varies a lot. At my highest point, when SPUF was going full steam and I was a super awesome Medic… [Continue Reading]

The Sacrifice is Here..

by
The Sacrifice is here

“I HAVE MADE SACRIFICES, TENNO!” Vay Hek shouts at you whenever you visit Oro on Earth, in the Vay Hek Assassination mission. “ARE YOU READY FOR A SACRIFICE?” That line has basically echoed through the Warframe community ever since the Sacrifice was teased last Tennocon. The next Tennocon starts in July, they promised the Sacrifice would be out by then and now it’s out. Update 23 is here, downloading as I speak. A whole 2GB worth of stuff. Somewhat close in size to the Plains of Eidolon, even though it’s apparently just a quest and a bunch of cosmetics and… [Continue Reading]

Driver San Francisco is FUCKING INSANE

by
A familiar vehicle.

Driver San Francisco is a fucking insane game. Fucking insane. Beyond words. I’ll start with the fact that I played the original Driver game. And the original Driver game was fucking good. I had it on the Playstation back when I was 8 and mum had to do the first level, because the first level was the hardest one in the game – you had to complete a series of tests in a small car park – three fuck ups and you had to start from the very beginning. It was by far the hardest mission in the game because… [Continue Reading]

The Learning Process to Killing a Teralyst Solo

by
A Gantalyst

On Friday 18th May 2018 at around 11pm, I managed to kill a Teralyst on my own with no squad mates. I’d attempted this a few times, only to be met with failure, or find I don’t have the right equipment. A much more experienced player might find it amusing how overly proud I was with my single Eidolon kill and might find it disheartening that I didn’t even attempt to try killing the other two Eidolons, but this is a boss fight made for four people, involving end-game gear and things like that – you basically have to do… [Continue Reading]
