On Saints Row 3 and 4

July 24, 2016 Medic 0 Comments co-op, opinion, Saints Row

So I’ve been playing Saints Row: The Third with aabicus lately and we’ve been having a blast despite the iffy connection. I’ve mentioned Saints Row before, we actually brought up one of our Daily SPUF articles while playing, Both games get a lot of shit from deviating too much from ‘the series’, i.e. Saints Row 2, and being too over the top. I do get a lot of those criticisms – Saints Row 2 is overall a better game with more options, even if it is dated, I feel that Saints Row 3 does have merits of its own. Most… [Continue Reading]

Welp, there goes my laptop…

July 22, 2016August 20, 2016 Medic 0 Comments bloody hell, Fuck, rant

Bad news everyone. I am going to be without my laptop for at least two weeks. On Thursday night, my laptop froze for ten minutes half way through the song Bloom by Radiohead, then again during Crystal Ball by Keane, making a god awful racket. I shut the computer down eventually and when I turned it back on, I decided to go find the cause of the problem. Of course, searching “computer freezes randomly” in a search engine, Google or otherwise, gives too many results. Pro tip, try and narrow things down by entering your operating system and the make… [Continue Reading]

Warframe – Still Not Sure

July 21, 2016 Medic 3 Comments game, grind, mmo, review, warframe

So I said I was angry at video games. I still am. But I felt that Warframe deserved a third chance. Yes, third chance, because I played it over a year ago, got stuck somewhere, stopped playing, then uninstalled it to make space for another game. Elder Scrolls Online, I think. Coincidentally, Elder Scrolls Online was uninstalled to make room for Warframe this time round. 60GB of hard drive space could be used for a good 5-6 normal sized games. My first time playing was on an old account. I don’t even remember playing that account, and I’d been told… [Continue Reading]

Heavy VS Pyro – Predictions

July 20, 2016 Medic 1 Comment heavy, meet your match, pyro, Team Fortress 2, update, war

This article was supposed to come out after the MyM update came out. Oh well. While everyone is busy complaining about casual and competitive matchmaking in the Meet your Match update, they seem to have partially forgotten about the Meat VS Match side of things. This is actually pretty sad, because this is a second WAR! update, something people have kinda secretly been expecting for years. It’s no Engineer VS Spy update, but it’s a tad more balanced at least. Not that it matters. This WAR! update isn’t all Soldiers and Demomen everywhere trying to kill each other, a Medic’s… [Continue Reading]

Anger, real life and video games

July 18, 2016 Medic 0 Comments anger, games, Skyrim, stress, Team Fortress 2, warframe

Lately, I have been incredibly angry and upset. Real life has been a horrible pile of crap with things going wrong everywhere. My laptop is breaking, my phone is getting old, we’ve had a huge water leak and sewage issues and internet issues and the list just goes on and on. Of course the constant stress of all this is starting to get to me and beat me senseless. Combined with the lack of anything to really look forward to as of late, you lose track of things. I need to relax. Which I will do, during my week holiday… [Continue Reading]

Why Grenade Slots are a bad idea in TF2

July 15, 2016 Medic 0 Comments criticism, grenades, opinion, TFC

Hey look! An article about Team Fortress 2! This is actually quite a surprise, because there’s not really been much to write about lately apart from cosmetics. But there’s been a thread on SPUF talking about grenade slots, from a person who is a fan of Team Fortress Classic (a.k.a Grenade Hell) and really, really wants to get that grenade slot in the game somehow. And I’m going to tell you why that is wrong. If you’ve ever played TFC with actual people, you’ll see a lot of grenades. Almost everyone in TFC has two grenades, a normal, bog-standard blow-things-up-in-an-explosion… [Continue Reading]

Twitch Chat – Hell on Earth

July 11, 2016 Medic 0 Comments chat, horrible, twitch, ugh

Aabicus thinks that Twitch Chat is somewhat cute. It’s apparently endearing or something. Well he’s wrong. Twitch Chat is probably the most horrible thing I have seen that isn’t violent or gross or whatever. It’s an all-round turn off and a giant sign screaming that we’re all sheep. Especially in major e-sports events. Seriously it’s fucking retarded. The only thing worse is probably a youtube comment section on a particularly bait-y subject. Either way though, it’s the same set of utter idiots who scream and gurgle and shout and drool. And a ton of shitty emoticons and ‘jokes’. People screaming… [Continue Reading]

Why are we buffing Medic again?

July 10, 2016 Medic 0 Comments buff, medic, meet your match, update

Hey, do any of you remember when I wrote an article explicitly saying to NOT buff Medic any more because as a class we’ll be too powerful and start to fuck with the meta of TF2? You know, this article? I clearly said in it to not buff Medic because he’s in a plenty good enough. Let me repeat myself. Medic is a super strong class that is pretty simple to play but very hard to be a pro at. Having a Medic on your team does not guarantee you victory, as a Medic can’t physically carry his team in… [Continue Reading]

What’s up with Levels on Items?

July 9, 2016 Medic 3 Comments badge, Cosmetic, MvM, thoughts, weapon

One of the first weapons I got was an Ubersaw. I’m pretty certain I don’t have it any more, as it wasn’t the achievement one. Most of the other first weapons I’d found were for classes I wasn’t playing – Scout, Sniper, Spy, Heavy, Soldier, the classes that I found genuinely hard (or too slow) early on. So I was mostly playing Medic, Engineer and Pyro and I didn’t really have any weapons for the other two. One of the first things I noticed on my brand new weapon was a level, level 10, compared to my level 1 Bonesaw.… [Continue Reading]

The Meet your Match Update is here – Early Thoughts

July 8, 2016 Medic 0 Comments demoknight, medic, patch, spy, stuff, Team Fortress 2, update

The Meet your Match update has shipped, after apparently holding off for a bit as to not disturb a major ETF2L match, which is nice of them. Honestly though, I’m not sure what to say. I suppose I’m happy that we’re getting an update, and that we’ll be getting more updates in the future. Of course we got new taunts. The TF2 youtube channel had them uploaded but private for ages. Taunts are basically the new hats, but better because they don’t fuck with the art style in any way. Of course we got crates. The keyless crates are interesting.… [Continue Reading]
