Everyone Has a Spot of Art in them

by
Art in many forms

Every other Thursday, I join a small local group of people, and we all do some sort of arty thing. The arty thing (which I have referenced in the past) is both a small social event and a chance to make something nice. Normally, we all do something along the same theme. For example, we recently did some nice glass painting. But for one arty session, we were presented with a pile of art supplies and some nice, gloss card, perfect for making greetings cards. This time, we all let our creative juices flow, and they all flowed out in… [Continue Reading]

Mara Sov Fucks Up Again

by
Mara Sov being her normal smartass self

I normally don’t write much about Destiny 2’s lore. There is so much of it that I find it hard to follow. While there are some great youtube channels that explain the lore, it is all still very messy. However, there is one bit of lore that I do kinda try to follow, especially as Witch Queen comes out. Today though, there is one particular character I want to discuss. Mara Sov, the current queen of the Awoken, always seems to piss me off. And now she’s done something incredibly dumb. Again. While I can understand occasionally fucking up, pretty… [Continue Reading]

Damn Axi Relics

by
New Gara Skin (with default helmet because I like it)

Over the years, I have accumulated a lot of relics in Warframe. After all, I have like 4000 hours in this game, and a lot of it was spent opening relics. However, looking at my slowly shrinking relic collection, there’s an obvious theme going on. I have way, way too many Lith relics, a lot of Meso and Neo relics and… very few Axi relics. Limited farming spots Weirdly, Axi relics are actually kinda hard to farm. The best place to get Axi relics is via Disruption missions, particularly on Lua. Aside from that though, options are limited. Bounties for… [Continue Reading]

Warframe Cosmetics that don’t require Platinum

by
The Rhino Dex skin, with Dex Dakra and Dex Nouchali Syandana

Looking cool can be quite costly in Warframe. The majority of cosmetics tend to require Platinum to purchase. And some cosmetics, namely Tennogen and Prime stuff, can only be bought with real money. However, just because you are on  budget, doesn’t mean you can’t look handsome too. Here are some options for the frugal Tenno. Baro Ki’Teer’s shop Baro comes every two weeks with new gear from the void, most of which is cosmetic. However, the quality of his gear is all over the place. Sometimes he’ll bring back a cosmetic from the past (like the Harkonar Wraith armour) but… [Continue Reading]

Pokemon I Like But Never Get To Use

by
Ralts, Kirlia, Gardevoir

When it comes to Pokemon GO, the meta doesn’t change much. In PvP, there are random cups that offer a change, but your standard PvP match will always have familiar faces, especially as you play the higher leagues. In PvE content, the meta most of the time is use six of one Pokemon and never use the default recommended stuff the game suggests. Anyway, here are some Pokemon I like, but rarely get to use in battle. Entei and Suicune The legendary beasts Entei and Suicune are really cool Pokemon. Doesn’t help that their choice of attacks just aren’t very… [Continue Reading]

On Bosses and Invulnerability Phases in Warframe

by
Nihil's boss fight, on the final phase. Here Nihil is slouched over and slightly scared.

Boss battles are interesting. Just like everything else in gaming, a boss battle is supposed to be impactful, but bosses ramp it up to 11. Of course they do. You’ve been running around killing mooks and now suddenly here’s a challenge, demanding that you kill the big bad. However, it’s rarely as simple as “shoot them until they die”, there is always some sort of puzzle required, or a chance for you to not deal damage at all. Bosses go invulnerable and you either force them to come back or wait for them to stop. In Warframe in particular, most… [Continue Reading]

Blimey, These Pokemon GO Events are Nonstop!

by
A bunch of evolved starter Pokemon

Seriously, events in Pokemon GO are pretty much nonstop! There’s so many of them that they blur into each other! While there’s always a bunch of events early in the year, we seem to be getting even more of them. In the last 2 weeks alone, we have had Valentines Day and Lunar New Year events, alongside some more lore-based events, tied to the Season of Heritage. But now these events are really stacking up. As of writing, multiple events! Right now, there are three events going on, somewhat. The first is the season itself, which has unique spawns and… [Continue Reading]

What has Stalker been up to lately?

by
Loki being stalked by the Stalker

Fun fact: The Second Dream is Warframe’s first cinematic quest, and was released late in 2015. In said quest, we saw Stalker getting an upgrade and also getting a job. Stalker served the Sentient mastermind Hunhow, in the hopes that he would be able to kill the Tenno for their crimes against the Orokin. Before then, Stalker was mainly a scary character who would attack anyone with his death mark, kitted out with weapons and abilities on par with our Warframes. After the Second Dream though, Stalker kinda disappeared. Well, he definitely wasn’t gone. In fact, Stalker kept all the… [Continue Reading]

These Seasonal Catch Challenges are Lame

by
Catch 50m Pokemon for 3 Golden Razberries

One of the biggest parts of Pokemon GO is research and research challenges. These challenges challenge you to catch certain amounts of Pokemon. Some challenges are strict, requiring you to catch very specific Pokemon. Others are more open-ended and want you to catch various types of Pokemon. But the most common challenge of all is just a generic “Catch X Pokemon”. Something that, as of writing, exists two-fold in the Today tab. Because, for some reason, the Season of Heritage has two collect-a-thons currently, There’s nothing wrong with some catch challenges. Now, I normally don’t have a problem with collecting… [Continue Reading]

Squeezing More Affinity, XP and Focus Out Of Our Warframes

by
Excalibur Umbra with Saturn Six Armour

To say that there’s a lot of grinding to do in Warframe is pretty accurate. After all, if your goal is to increase your Mastery Rank, you need to level up items. If you are heading towards True Master or the Legendary ranks, you need to obtain and level up pretty much every single weapon, warframe and more in the game. Thankfully, there are ways to speed up the grind a little. As I’ve mentioned before, these locations are great for leveling things up, but can get boring after a while. That being said, it’s also worth looking into optimizing… [Continue Reading]
