What Aftermath?

by
A Grineer with a Corinth Prime

Yes, I know I’ve been writing a lot about the New War, but there is so much to unpack. After all, it is a long quest that takes at least 4-5 hours to finish. Today’s article though features the aftermath of the New War. Or rather, a lack of one. Warning, mild spoilers ahead! Turn back now if you don’t wish to be spoiled. Something is bothering me when it comes to the New War. Despite all the carnage and distraction, the latest quest’s completion feels like, well, not amazing. For a quest where the whole solar system gets taken… [Continue Reading]

Gambit is in the Wrong Game

by
Flying to our next battle

Every time I try and get back into Destiny 2, someone suggests I quickly do Gambit. Gambit is a weird cross between PvP and PvE. Its basic premise is that you have to kill AI enemies, collect the motes they drop and put them inside a container to spawn a massive boss. In the mean time, a portal opens up between two teams and a player can jump through and make life hell for the other team. First team to kill their boss wins. Simple, right? However, there is a small problem with Gambit: no one seems to like it.… [Continue Reading]

We’re Doomed – A Panic-Causing Board Game

by
We're Doomed - a game by M Horton

As much as I love board games, they do tend to go on for a while. That’s not always a bad thing, but sometimes you want to play a nice, quick, short board game. Something that is fun but cleans up nicely when it’s done. To put it another way, the gang and I take forever to finish any board game. Thankfully, I bought my brother a gift for Christmas, and it’s just what we were looking for. We’re Doomed! We’re Doomed is a simple table top game that can support up to 10 players. As the name suggests, it’s… [Continue Reading]

There is more than one Tenno, right?

by
A Very Lonely Tenno

Something odd about Warframe is that we have no real idea how many Tenno are in-game. The number can fluctuate between thousands, hundreds and even possibly the tens, depending on how you look at things. Time travel, alternate universes and paradoxes could mean that there’s only one single Tenno who actually exists. Everyone else is an illusion. Please be warned, we have hints of spoilers in this article. Please read this article first. That being said, there definitely has to be more than one Tenno. After all, the Lotus has referred to us both in the singular and the plural.… [Continue Reading]

Why on Earth would anyone want to come to my Island?

by
Residents stretching on a lame island

As I play through Animal Crossing – New Horizons, I’ve begun to notice something odd. Everyone keeps on telling me the same thing, over and over. The residents who appeared on my island quickly settled down and told me how much they love island life. And as I got my first visitor from a campsite, I end up hearing the same thing. They love this island so much that they want to live with us. But WHY would anyone want to live in my island? Frankly, I don’t get it. My island is very much unfinished or even that sophisticated.… [Continue Reading]

Hello 2022!

by
Animal Crossing base area

It’s a new year! And new years generally come with desires of change, a need to improve. After all, we’re another year older, another year smarter. But we also have a bit of a blank canvas to start doing stuff on. While a new year won’t magically fix everything, it counts for a great head-start, a springboard into another year. New year’s resolutions. Of course, with a new year, we get new resolutions as well. While most people will probably fail them, I feel like a new year’s resolution is a step in the right direction. No one is perfect,… [Continue Reading]

Good Riddance, 2021!

by
Medic and Volt, simply chilling out and watching fireworks

Today is New Year’s Eve, and I’m feeling rather nostalgic. We had a great Christmas and everything went very well. Since it’s the end of the year, I feel like it’s time for… well, not a recap, but a ramble through 2021. A year that somehow breezed past. Seriously, this year felt short. Things happened but everything just feels… mangled up, I guess? A transformative year. For me personally, this year has been all over the damn place. Spent a good chunk of the year feeling depressed and anxious, but now I am actually trying to fix stuff. The angry… [Continue Reading]

On Not Understanding People

The other day, I went for my booster shot for the Coronavirus vaccine. I had timed the trip to coincide with a doctor’s appointment, to avoid needing to go to the doctors twice. However, as soon as I got there, I realized I may have made a mistake. There was a massive queue to get into the outpatients area. A mixture of people with appointments, people getting their third doses in the walk-in vaccination area. Some, like myself, had non-Covid reasons to be waiting to go inside. What made everything worse though was people trying to get in, not queuing… [Continue Reading]

A Weapon of the New War

by
Nataruk Bow

I love bows. When I played Skyrim, before even really trying swords, I had an eye open for any bows lying around. Whenever I played Destiny 2, I looked for combat bows, because I found them fun. And in Warframe, there are many, many bows that I like. Even aabicus has a way of making use of bows! In my silly little head, using a bow and arrows is the best way to stab someone who is far away. Or they are the best way to blow up someone who is far away. Simply put, bows are fun. And, when… [Continue Reading]
