Thoughts on KID A MNESIA

by
KID A MNESIA

The other day, I wrote an article about a weird art exhibition made in video game form. Everything in there was a celebration from Radiohead, marking the twenty years of their two albums, Kid A and Amnesiac. As well as a virtual exhibition, Radiohead released a combined album called KID A MNESIA, which features the two albums, plus a bonus disk. The bonus disc contains a mish-mash of songs, half of which are untitled. And all of which meld into each other. The songs released as singles are nice. There are two new songs on KID A MNESIA that are…… [Continue Reading]

The Curious Single-Timeline Nature of Everything I Write

by
The Plains of Eidolon in stormy weather

As you are probably aware, either from the fact that the Daily SPUF recently hit a milestone in articles or the fact that I, Medic, write all of them, this crazy individual does a vast amount of writing. In fact, I do so much writing that the article in which I mentioned we had nearly reached 2400 articles had to be updated, because I had originally written the article just before we hit the 2300 article milestone and nearly forgot to change it. In fact, I had to alter this opening paragraph to not include a number due to how… [Continue Reading]

The Problem with Primed Warframes and Lore

by
Valkyr Prime, just as angry.

Primed Warframes look awesome. They are more decorated than normal Warframes, and have pre-existing polarity slots, as well some small buffs. Primed Warframes however still share the abilities of their normal Warframe variants. While a Primed Warframe will often be shinier and laced with gold, the base Warframe can be seen underneath. This can lead to some curious questions. Are the Primed Warframes the originals, as originally planned by the Orokin? Or are our old, normal Warframes the older version, with the best among them being made into Primed versions. Are Primes the originals or not? At first glance, the… [Continue Reading]

Winging Cakes

by
A cake made in a mug-sized microwave-proof container.

Baking is a hobby of mine, but it’s a somewhat recent one. My desire to cook more increased when I moved out, because, well, I couldn’t just eat noodles. No matter how much I like them. However, baking is an even more recent new hobby, one that appeared as I moved apartments, and wanted something sweet to eat. Problem is, I like sweet things, like cakes and muffins. And if I buy them from a shop, I’d be even fatter than I am now. As an alternative, I started baking my own cakes, so I can control how much sugar… [Continue Reading]

My First Handheld Gaming Console

by
My brand new Nintendo Switch

The other day, I actually did something rather out of character. People who know me well often describe me as frugal or cheap. I’ve always been unwilling to spend a lot of money on things I like, and always take the cheapest option. Even when I’m supposed to be treating myself to something nice, I still take the cheaper route. And if I can’t justify a purchase, I simply don’t get it. However, for once, I actually bought a proper treat for myself. I bought a Nintendo Switch Lite. For about €300, I bought myself a Nintendo Switch and Animal… [Continue Reading]

Regional Pokemon Just Out of Reach

by
Spirits of the Lake being eaten by various bird-like Pokemon.

Regional Pokemon in Pokemon GO have always been a little odd. Instead of spawning worldwide, they only spawn in specific countries an geographical areas. As time passes on, it is possible that we will get more regional Pokemon, despite a lot of players not liking regionals. For many, getting a complete pokedex is impossible, due to being unable to travel the world. Instead, we have to just be content with what we have. However, regional Pokemon aren’t particularly evenly spread out. Some Pokemon are available on other sides of the planet. Others only spawn in tiny areas, and a lot… [Continue Reading]

5 Cernos Variations I’d Like to See

by
Rakta Cernos, Mutalist Cernos, Cernos Prime and Proboscis Cernos

I like the Cernos. It’s a nice, simple bow. But unlike most Warframe weapons, the Cernos has a LOT of variations. Currently, there are five variants in-game. Including the normal Cernos, we also have the Rakta Cernos, Cernos Prime, Mutalist Cernos and Proboscis Cernos. But we can do better. We need more Cernos variants. Luckily, I got you covered. Here are 5 cool potential Cernoses. Because we can always do with more Cernos. Prisma Cernos I’m honestly pretty amazed that we don’t have a Prisma Cernos. Prisma weapons overall tend to be a middle ground between normal variants and Prime… [Continue Reading]

Liches VS Bitches

by
Oberon kills the Toxin Lich who has been plaguing him.

After much waiting, we finally have personalized bosses for both the Corpus and the Grineer. But which of these personalized bosses are better than the other? Well, that’s what I hope we will discover here. But it’s often tricky to compare across factions, because the Grineer and the Corpus have very different outlooks on existence. Basically the same both ways The mechanics for both Sisters of Parvos and Kuva Liches are pretty damn similar. They’ll grab a planet (Venus or Earth) and then crawl across the solar system as you meet them more. You’ll need to find out the requiem… [Continue Reading]

5 Cheeky Ways of Obtaining Extra Loot in Warframe

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

Warframe, at its core, is a looter shooter. You farm for resources to build and upgrade all of your gear. But sometimes, you need a little bit of help and some extra loot, and are too afraid to ask. While the Warframe wiki can help with where you find resources, there’s actually a few ways to get what you need, in-game, with surprising ease. Today, we’re going to discuss five cheeky ways of obtaining more loot than normal. Follow and impress a MR25-30 player. When playing Warframe on public, you are thrown into a squad of players that are all… [Continue Reading]

“But Medic, why is your Volt yellow?”

by
Volt Prime with Tennogen skin, Tennogen Syandana and default helmet

Readers new and old have probably seen a recurring pattern on this blog. Many pictures of Warframes used in my articles have a pretty bright colour. Most of my gear is coloured yellow, using a strong yellow from the free Halloween palette. Depending on the Warframe, I’ll add black and a tertiary colour, so I’m not 100% a banana. The question though is WHY do I look so derpy, in my nearly-banana look? I could have some actual decent fashion sense, but I am dedicated to yellow. Why though? To stand out from a crowd The most obvious reason is… [Continue Reading]
