I Hate Elite TMs

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

Elite TMs suck. They are rare and hideously expensive, and you have separate Elite TMs for fast attacks and charge attacks. The only way to reliably get Elite TMs are by buying them in a bundle for Community Days, or reaching rank 20 in PvP. And even then, it still alternates every season, between fast and charge TMs. On top of that, seasons are pretty long, generally 90 days long, so once you reach rank 20, you’re still waiting for three months to claim your reward. Sure, Elite TMs allow you to give a Pokemon any of its move, especially… [Continue Reading]

The Same Volt I Started With

Medic 0 Comments ,

Normally, when an older player gets a new Prime Warframe, their normal version is chucked away. Some will get eaten by the Helminth, but others might just be sold entirely, especially if they have already been subsumed. After all, inventory space is limited, and it’s nicer to keep the new, spangly golden Warframe, rather than keeping the old one. Me though? Even though I have Volt Prime, I still use a normal Volt. Not just any Volt though. I use the same Volt that I picked in Vor’s Prize. I mean, why not? The only real difference is how much… [Continue Reading]

5 Pokemon You Should Ideally Have 6 Of

Medic 0 Comments

If you want to be efficient and powerful in raids, then you need a good team to back you up. And if you want to be really efficient, then you want six of the best Pokemon, and ideally leveled up Pokemon as well. Here are some Pokemon that are just too good and useful. Note that I’m talking about normal Pokemon, because you can only have one Mega Pokemon at a time. I’ve also not included shadow Pokemon since they’re automatically better than anything else. If it’s on this list and can be a shadow Pokemon, then you should use… [Continue Reading]

The Problem with Legendary Raids in Pokemon GO

Medic 0 Comments ,

During the Hoenn Tour, we actually had a lot of raiding to do. Both Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre had come out, and they were insanely powerful. In fact, they were so powerful that we needed much bigger teams than normal. While a standard Kyogre generally goes down with 4-6 players, Primal Groudon needed 8 for a comfortable victory, and was only just doable with 6 players, all using Megas. The Primal Legendaries were actually a nice bit of challenge, an excuse to bring out all the best gear, for a big fight. But the difficulty of these raids also… [Continue Reading]

Warframes I Should Play More

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

Warframe now has over 50 Warframes you can play with. But somehow, I keep on sticking to the same few Warframes. To the point that my time spent as Volt accounts for about a third of my playtime (on both Volt and Volt Prime). However, I could really do with stretching myself a bit and playing some different frames. But what Warframes fill the role I want when playing casually? Volt has always been a jack of all trades, and I want that in other Warframes too. Criteria Volt has got a lot going for him. He can speed through… [Continue Reading]

The Volt Electrolyst Skin

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

For a long time, I used to complain how the Volt Proto skin was ugly and not really a deluxe skin. Most deluxe skins generally add more to a Warframe and not less. But the Proto skin was a stripped down Volt, and frankly, it was just really… lame. Particularly the helmet, which I think pretty much everyone replaced with the Volt Arrester Tennogen helmet. Eventually though, Volt would get more skins. Two, in fact. The first one is the Voidshell Volt skin. Voidshell skins came along with the Angels of the Zariman update, and allow you not only to… [Continue Reading]

Slowpoke Community Day

Medic 0 Comments , ,

Community days are always fun, and this is no real exception. Slowpoke is a pretty cute Pokemon (and one of my brother’s favourites) so it’s nice to get something a bit different. Cute little things Both forms of Slowpoke are adorable and a bit useless. Their evolutions on the hand are a bit more interesting. Mainly because they’re being bitten by another Pokemon. It’s almost as parasitic as Paras and Parasect. Anyway there’s plenty of both. The Kanto Slowpoke’s shiny is rather faint, but the Galarian Slowpoke goes yellow all over. If you know me well enough, you can recall… [Continue Reading]

On Not Playing As A Warframe

Medic 0 Comments , ,

I’m gonna be honest. I’m not as interested as everyone else is when it comes to the Duviri Paradox. Why? It’s pretty simple. Despite being a huge new island of potential, you start off not playing as a Warframe. For a game called and about Warframes, much of our newer content over the years isn’t really about the Warframes. Sure we have things like Citrine’s Last Wish, which is about a Warframe, but major content drops have been all about nothing but the Warframes. Or even really the Operators. The New War was all about the Drifter, and it seems… [Continue Reading]

A New Beginning with the Duviri Paradox?

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

Warframe has always had a problem with actually getting into the game. Once you’ve completed Vor’s Prize, it’s a long, often convoluted journey even to complete the star chart. This means that many new players never actually get to try the cool things, like Necramechs and the New War. A lot of the new, fun and interesting stuff actually has a lot of requirements. The New War in particular required both a Necramech and a Railjack. Both of which are… Not so much end-game content, but still pains in the ass to obtain. Railjacks in particular have had their costs… [Continue Reading]

The Little Gap Between Events

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

As of writing, there is no event going on in Pokemon GO. The Festival of Colours event has ended, and we’re getting a Team Rocket-based event coming next week. Because there is no event going on, we get basic seasonal spawns. Pokemon that spawn naturally in the wild, based on whatever season we’re in. By ‘season’, I don’t mean normal, in-real-life seasons, I mean the ones in Pokemon GO. They do kinda sorta co-exist with real seasons, but the seasonal spawns aren’t always related to winter or spring or whatever. The current season is Rising Heroes, and we’re expecting more… [Continue Reading]
