Equestria is a Horrible Place

March 7, 2017March 27, 2017 Medic 0 Comments dictatorship, evil, random, rant

Like many of my articles, this one was inspired by a conversation I once had with aabicus. Now, we’ve mentioned this before, but aabicus has his fingers in many, many different pies, one of them being the MMO called Legends of Equestria, and we’ve even had an announcement for it here. Of course, being a My Little Pony thing, aabicus needs to get his head into all of that, create himself a pony for play-testing and have a decent understanding of its history and lore so he can write quests for it. For a franchise designed to sell toys to… [Continue Reading]

The best way to do this is to use Trinity. *shudder*

The Pacifism Defect

March 6, 2017March 27, 2017 Medic 0 Comments clan, event, flamethrower, ignis, rescue mission, warframe

So right now, the first ever Clan-based event is going on. Which is nowhere near as big a deal as it sounds. Events are somewhat common, you’ll see them from time to time, generally over weekends and the like, involving 3 missions that need to be completed to get a prize of some sort. Most of the time, it’s variations on a theme, like Darvo running away from debt collectors, or teasing new main-game content via events like Rathuum and the Index Preview. The Pacifism Defect isn’t much different. It features a new game mode, Evacuation (not to be confused… [Continue Reading]

One Last Look at the War Within

March 4, 2017March 27, 2017 Medic 0 Comments loki, space kid, the war within, war within, warframe

“Why the fuck would I want to do that?” Those were the fateful words of my brother as he helped me complete the War Within. Those words summed up everything I felt about this quest. That phrase was also repeated several times throughout the quest as well. The War Within is supposed to be about your Tenno space kid growing up and becoming more mature. Well, that’s the underlying plot. Really, the plot drags you kicking and screaming into that, due yo your space kid’s actions, when it should be looking at whatever the hell Teshin was doing, finding the… [Continue Reading]

Coming Soon – A Week of Love and Hate 3 – Even More SPUF

March 3, 2017March 27, 2017 Medic 0 Comments a week of love and hate 3, competition, contest, hate, love, maps

It’s that time of year again. After the supposedly love-filled month of February comes the dreary month of March, which can’t be asked to snap out of winter and become the prettiness of Spring. Spring is April’s thing, March couldn’t give a shit. But March is also the time for A Week of Love and Hate, Number 3. That’s right, the community-writing fun fest is here to annoy you all. For those of you who don’t know, A Week of Love and Hate is about people writing articles about things they absolutely, uh, love and hate. Then a week is… [Continue Reading]

Yep, the Stealth Archer. Crouching and using a bow.

The Sneaky Bastard Stealth Archer

February 26, 2017March 18, 2017 Medic 0 Comments combat, fighting style, Skyrim, stealth

Skyrim as a lot of playstyles, and is thankfully designed in such a way that you can change your way of playing somewhat easily. The Dragonborn DLC expands on this upon the completion of its main quest by allowing you to alter skill trees, and setting skills to Legendary when they reach level 100 allows you to reset those skills and allocate the regained skill points elsewhere. This is pretty damn good if you suddenly grow tired of playing as a mage or whatever mid game. It’s a simpler system compared to Oblivion and Morrowind, and that isn’t always a… [Continue Reading]

Grineer VS Corpus VS Everyone Else

February 23, 2017March 18, 2017 Medic 0 Comments clones, corpus, enemies, grineer, lore, warframe

While playing Warframe, you’ll encounter a lot of these guys. The cloned, scrappy, heavily-weaponized Grineer and the shiny, money-loving, robot-abusing Corpus. There’s the Infested and the Orokin/Void as well, but they’re… not really the main threats right now. The Corpus and the Grineer are the ones already controlling huge swathes of the Origin System (i.e. our solar system), and they’re really the ones who have the most say when it comes to, well, existence. Let’s start off with the Grineer. We know way more about these guys than we do the Corpus. The Grineer are the first people who find… [Continue Reading]

A Completely Out of Context Story

February 22, 2017March 18, 2017 Medic 0 Comments phoviverse, story

What happens when a bored Medic writes a story about two of his main Phoviverse characters then plonks the finished result here on the Daily SPUF with no context what so ever? Nothing. You get a story that’s completely without context, that’s all. It’s about time that I gave these two a decent story that didn’t involve pain and misery.

On Sounding Like an Idiot while Explaining Things

February 20, 2017March 9, 2017 Medic 1 Comment aabicus, fun, newbie, warframe

So the other day, I helped aabicus complete Vor’s Prize, the tutorial quest of Warframe. We played for about three hours, getting aabicus to Mastery Rank 1 and unlocking Venus as a place he can visit. From what I heard, aabicus enjoyed himself, and as I thought, he very much liked the game’s mobility, accessible to all Warframes no matter what you use. But as I slowly explained everything, I realised how 1. I had never noticed some things and 2. I sounded like an idiot when I thought about what I had just said. On the not-noticing side of… [Continue Reading]

Rings (3) – A Review

February 19, 2017March 9, 2017 Medic 0 Comments film, horror, movie, review

Today, we’re going to talk about something slightly different. A movie. I actually watch quite a lot of movies but I don’t often review them because I forget to. Rings, or Rings 3 as it was marketed here in Cyprus, is an attempt to break that forgetfulness. But also because 1. I saw Rings on Valentines Day with my siblings and 2. there’s something off about the whole thing. Also the fricking subtitle “Evil Is Reborn” gives away the entire film. Nice one, marketing people. That being said, I’m going to try and avoid spoilers, but if you want to… [Continue Reading]

Fighting Level 50+ Enemies with a Level 30 Flamethrower

February 18, 2017March 9, 2017 Medic 0 Comments flamethrower, ignis, warframe

For the majority of the hours I’ve spent playing Warframe, I’ve been using the same old weapons. I swap out weapons as and when I need to, but most of the time people see me, they see a yellow Volt Prime with a yellow Ignis. I’ve talked about Volt a lot, he is essentially my avatar in the game (a lot of people identify more with warframes than operators) but I haven’t really talked about the Ignis. I’ve mentioned my floating pet and ugly animals more than my weapons. The Ignis is a flamethrower made by the Grineer. By default,… [Continue Reading]
