A Justice League Movie Review

December 3, 2017November 29, 2017 Medic 0 Comments avengers, dc, film, justice league, marvel, movie, review

So I saw Justice League the other day with my brother and sister. On a Tuesday, where the prices were cheaper. €7 a head. Was the movie worth it? Probably not. Then again, most movies aren’t really worth seeing in the cinema, in my opinion. Still, a review is in order, while it is all fresh in my head. A quick summary before we go into spoiler territory: Justice League was alright but it was too slow, there wasn’t really enough action and too much sappy cheese. Good enough for an average viewer, probably not great for a real DC… [Continue Reading]

On Enjoying Various Kinds of Music

December 2, 2017November 29, 2017 Medic 0 Comments k-pop, music, skully

It’s hard to describe music that I like. On one hand, I’m the old sort of sap who will happily listen to Crowded House for hours and hours on end. On the other hand, I’ll also happily listen to Disturbed for hours and hours on end. I also enjoy somewhat mainstream music like Queens of the Stone Age and Radiohead, both of whom have featured in reviews here on the Daily SPUF. Heck, I also saw Radiohead live, on the day that “2 + 2 = 5” was recorded live for the Com Lag EP.Seriously. If you have Com Lag… [Continue Reading]

On Hunting Eidolons

December 1, 2017November 28, 2017 Medic 0 Comments plains of eidolon, warframe

Really, shouldn’t the plural of Eidolon be Eidola? And aren’t they Teralysts that we’re killing? Who knows? Not me. But I THINK I know a few things about hunting those giant, whiny bastards. I also know a few things about leaving them the heck alone. Just a note, to be able to effectively kill Eidolons, you MUST have completed the War Within. You can’t do this without those pesky space spoilers. So basically, hunting Eidolons is a massive pain in the ass and only really doable solo if you have an extreme amount of patients and can juggle multiple things… [Continue Reading]

I don't have a picture of a bandwagon so have a truck of some sort.

On Missing the Bandwagon

November 30, 2017December 1, 2017 Medic 0 Comments ramble

I’ve never been someone to immediately jump onto the next big thing, riding the hype train and all of that. I didn’t even do that when the Plains of Eidolon came out. Mostly because I had to download a huge update and my painfully slow internet connection was being a bitch. Normally, there’s an excuse involved on why I’m not doing popular things. I’m busy with work. Or I’m just late to the party. Or I just don’t care. Normally, it’s just that I’m busy or distracted by something else. When Plains of Eidolon and Jungle Inferno both hit, I… [Continue Reading]

Why the fuck was Dr Nefarious in the Ratchet and Clank 1 remake anyway?

The Difference Between Ratchet and Clank on PS2 and PS3+

November 29, 2017November 28, 2017 Medic 0 Comments ps2, ps3, ramble, rant, ratchet and clank

So this video popped up on my recommended Youtube feed. A Ratchet and Clank video by TheGamingBritShow. I actually used to play tons of Ratchet and Clank on my old Playstation 2 and I’ve completed (with a little help) the first game, Up Your Arsenal and Ratchet: Gladiator, which was called Ratchet: Deadlocked in the US. I never played the later games because I never had a Playstation 3 or 4, but it turns out there are five next-gen Ratchet and Clank games – three ‘Future’ games, a short game set in its own time and a remake of Ratchet… [Continue Reading]

On Digging Holes and Trenches

November 25, 2017November 21, 2017 Medic 0 Comments digging, efficiency, minecraft, safety, tip

I’m pretty sure I’m in the minority when I say that I’d rather dig a trench than go spelunking in Minecraft. The whole point of Minecraft is going into deep caves, exploring, discovering dungeons and strongholds, fighting off monsters and finding diamonds. Then most likely going round in circles as you wander through caverns and try to remember which way the exit is. Me though? I’m not into that. It’s mainly two things. Firstly, skeletons are bastards. Every other mob in the game is fine, but I hate skeletons and their dumb sounds and their stupid aim. The only good… [Continue Reading]

Kinda ironic that this emblem was adopted by the US Tea Party movement, the sort of people who are voting to repeal net neutrality...

Help Stop Retards in the US Government from Repealing Net Neutrality!

November 24, 2017November 22, 2017 Medic 0 Comments hypocrisy, net neutrality, state rights

Hey look, those dickbags in the US government are trying to repeal something that the majority of the population wants to keep! Net Neutrality might not be as vital to one’s continued existence as healthcare is, but it’s still important. The Oatmeal has a really nice thing explaining Net Neutrality and I suggest you go read that. Go on, it’s not that long. The sad thing is, that’s from 2014. We’re in 2017 now. TechCrunch wrote a nice article discussing the more technical arguments against Net Neutrality and why they’re not so great. We’ve already had a Defend Net Neutrality… [Continue Reading]

A Nostalgic Ramble – GaiaOnline

November 20, 2017November 17, 2017 Medic 0 Comments economy, forum, ramble

I like to think that I discovered the internet in 2007. This was the year that I had my own personal computer with an internet connection and was finally free of parental surveillance. The first thing I did was lurk across a bunch of sites, before joining BZPower under the name Phovos the Raptor. That was the start of my online life. I browsed a lot of sites. I discovered SPUF in 2009 but didn’t join until 2010, when I started playing Team Fortress 2 properly. I discovered a lot of places back then and didn’t join until later. One… [Continue Reading]

A Jack of all Trades on the Plains

November 19, 2017November 17, 2017 Medic 0 Comments plains of eidolon, volt, warframe

“Bloody hell Medic stop with the Warframe content!” some of you may beg. No. I like Warframe. And some of our Warframe content is the most viewed stuff on the site. Plus, I feel I might have some useful tips for those who are newer to the game. “But you’re going to talk about Volt again, aren’t you?” Yes, actually. Because there’s so much stuff going on in the Plains of Eidolon that you need someone who can do a bit of everything. And Volt might not be the best at everything, but he’s bloody good at a lot of… [Continue Reading]

Random Tips for Plague Star – the new Operation

November 18, 2017April 5, 2018 Medic 0 Comments operation, tips, update, warframe

Fancy a chance at getting the new Hunter series of set mods, that work on companions? Fancy a chance to get the Snipetron? How about the Ether Daggers which you probably sold after doing that New Strange quest then realised that you needed them for mastery rank? Fancy walking across the entirety of the Plains in order for the same rewards to be repeated over and over? If any of those appeal to you, then the new Operation: Plague Star is for you! So a massive infested meteor has crashed in the Plains of Eidolon and now it’s spitting infested… [Continue Reading]
