A cool-looking curse that's like being on fire.

On Lava and Looking Hot

May 22, 2022May 14, 2022 Medic 0 Comments Cosmetic, curse, lava, pirate, sea of thieves

Sea of Thieves has quite a lot of different cosmetics. Absolutely tons of gear to customize your character. While the character creation screen is one of the strangest I have ever seen in a video game, at least Sea of Thieves makes up for it by having a ton of cosmetics that can be bought or unlocked. However, you can also unlock Curses, which are basically TF2’s Unusual gear except for your skin. Curses look really cool, but they are obtained by doing all sorts of difficult tasks. So, when I next played with Bacxaber and his crew, we all… [Continue Reading]

Meet the Medic is still the best Meet the Team short

May 21, 2022May 13, 2022 Medic 0 Comments fun, lore, medic, meet the medic, Team Fortress 2

I actually was planning to write a different article today. I’ve got about 40 different articles that I have started. And by ‘started’ I mean I wrote a couple of sentences and then not done anything else. It happens a lot, the brain writes what the brain wants. Today’s article now is something completely different. How I got from complaining to Destiny 2’s jump mechanics to watching Meet the Medic for the umpteenth time, I have no idea. But here I am, writing about Meet the Medic anyway. Mostly because I’ve re-watched it like 6-7 times now, always spotting little… [Continue Reading]

Maybe Wukong is a little too strong…

May 20, 2022May 10, 2022 Medic 2 Comments monkey king, overpowered, strong, warframe, wukong

With every anniversary event in Warframe, we are also given a peak into player stats. After all, it’s interesting to see which frames are popular and which ones aren’t. However, for the last couple of years, we’ve had the same Warframe at the top, quite a bit higher than expected. The frame in question is Wukong Prime, which has managed to beat all three starters when it comes to most-used Warframes. But why though, why is Wukong Prime so popular? Plenty of everything. Wukong has got a little bit of everything. He has a damage-dealing twin that uses our weapons;… [Continue Reading]

I’d Rather Not

May 19, 2022May 10, 2022 Medic 0 Comments covid, ramble, real life

The other day, I went to get a COVID test. It was part of a government initiative to test as many people as possible. The idea was to test most of the working populace before they returned to work. There were testing locations in most major city locations, and although we did have to wait, it was orderly. Everyone stood 2 meters apart and kept their distance. The test itself was also pretty easy. We gave the nurses our contact details, we did the test and waited only a few minutes to receive our results. Thankfully, I tested negative. Considering… [Continue Reading]

On Destiny 2’s Glaives

May 18, 2022May 9, 2022 Medic 0 Comments destiny 2, glaive, ramble

Glaives are odd objects. In reality, a glaive is a long polearm weapon, with a 50cm-ish blade on one end and a whole lot of long stick. But at the same time, the name Glaive is also sometimes given to sharp, throwable discs that come back, a bit like a boomerang. While Warframe uses the term “Glaive” to be a throwable, bladed, circular weapon, Destiny 2 has gone with the more European option, which is a blade on a big stick. And also putting some sort of gun on it too. Destiny 2’s Glaives look cool. The Glaive weapon type… [Continue Reading]

Now for Something Completely Different SPUFood

Clay Oven-baked Bread and Stuff

May 15, 2022May 7, 2022 Medic 0 Comments baking, bread, cooking, random, real life

Making your own bread isn’t actually that difficult. I have a dough that I use for both pizza and garlic bread, and it does the job fine. It’s not the most amazing bread ever, but I do think it’s worth trying to make your own bread. My recipe is quite simple but makes a ton of pizza dough. Ingredients: 500g flour plus more for kneading and rolling out one packet of instant dried yeast A teaspoon of olive or similar vegetable oil One teaspoon of sugar 1-3 teaspoons of salt Water Patience Instructions: Throw everything into a large bowl, except… [Continue Reading]

Making More Use of Our Mega Pokemon

May 13, 2022May 5, 2022 Medic 0 Comments legendary raid, mega pokemon, pokemon go

When Mega Pokemon first appeared in Pokemon GO, no one was particularly happy. Mega Pokemon were expensive to obtain and required doing raid battles for Pokemon most people already had. All for a handful of candy and 4 hours of one Mega Pokemon. Over time though, Mega Pokemon have slowly gotten better and better. The costs for evolving a Mega dropped, we got 8 hours of Mega time instead of 4, and new ways of getting Mega Candy were added, so you didn’t need to do constant raids. However, with the release of Mega Latias and Mega Latios, we’ve received… [Continue Reading]

Has Anyone Spoken to the Big White Ball lately?

May 12, 2022May 4, 2022 Medic 0 Comments big balls, destiny 2, not quite lore, traveller

For my birthday, I was given Destiny 2’s new expansion, Witch Queen, as a present. The brand new campaign was fun and interesting, and it is something I’d kinda recommend playing. There was a lot going on in the Witch Queen campaign, as well as a lot of new revelations. After all, a long-standing enemy, having been working in the shadows for all these years, suddenly pops up on a planet that vanished. We get the return of Mars and the throne world that Savathun built for herself, as well as a bunch of weird new light users. The Lucent… [Continue Reading]

The New Eximus Enemies Are REALLY Tough!

May 10, 2022May 3, 2022 Medic 2 Comments eximus, operator, rework, warframe

Alongside the Angels of the Zariman update, we actually got not one but two reworks for older systems. Focus, which is what Operators use to make themselves strong, got a weird rework which shook up Focus overall. But we also got an enemy rework. More specifically, we got a rework for Eximus enemies. You know, those weirdly larger enemies that have more health and a variety of passive effects. The rework was aimed at updating Eximi into more noticeable and powerful enemies, rather than the weird enemies with auras that they were. Basically, we all wanted Eximus enemies to be… [Continue Reading]

The Weirdest Character Creation Screen

May 9, 2022May 1, 2022 Medic 0 Comments customization, random, sea of thieves, sot

Even if you don’t play a lot of games, it’s quite common for you to be able to change how you look. As someone starts up a new game, one of the first things they do is create a character, an avatar to represent oneself. However, there’s no standard way to make a character creation screen. Depending on the game, character creation screens can be incredibly basic or incredibly complicated, with a whole plethora of methods in order to make a character a player wants. Because there are no standards though, character creation is a minefield. No sliders, no buttons… [Continue Reading]
