Building for Volt’s Electric Shield

by
RAINBOW VOLT!

Long-time readers may have noticed that I have a… thing for Volt. My bright yellow electric space ninja has a lot of mileage on it. In Warframe, Volt and Volt Prime make up about 40% of total usage. The next closest Warframes after Volt Prime (30%) and Volt (10%) are Khora and Ivara, with about 15% between them. During this time, I have written a LOT about both Volt and his builds. I have both a general-usage build and a 1-forma build for Sanctuary Onslaught. Both of these builds surround playing with specific parts of Volt’s kit. The general usage… [Continue Reading]

A Medic Appreciation Post

by
Looking out into the future

It’s been ages since I last played Team Fortress 2. Lately, I haven’t had the appetite to play a PvP shooter game. Between the randomness, the crits and the bots, Team Fortress 2 is kinda unfriendly these days. But there’s still always something that just amazes me about Team Fortress 2, even if I no longer play it. Today, we are going to appreciate the Medic from Team Fortress 2. A character that I literally named myself after. One of the best healers, ever. Years back, a League of Legends developer complained that making health numbers go up was boring.… [Continue Reading]

Walking a Buddy for Fun

by
Medic and his Giratina

Every time I start getting close to reaching Best Buddies, I go through the same old predicament. Once my current Pokemon buddy reaches Best Buddies, what do I walk in its place? There are so many Pokemon to choose from, and some will resonate more than others. Now, I’ve written in the past about what Pokemon you should buddy with. But that little guide really doesn’t help to narrow down the list that much. After all, there are so many Pokemon that we get attached to, ones that are useful and ones that are cool. But I feel like I’m… [Continue Reading]

I Can’t Wait for Crossplay in Warframe

by
Excalibur and Warframes speak to Lotus at Tennocon

I play a lot of Warframe. According to Steam, I have over 4000 hours in Warframe, way ahead of any other game I play. The only two games that get anywhere close to Warframe are Team Fortress 2 at 1700 hours, and an unknown about of time in Minecraft. However, I’ve only ever played Warframe on PC, since I don’t own any consoles myself. So, when Digital Extremes announced Crossplay for Warframe, I was actually very surprised. We’ve all wanted Crossplay for years. At the time of writing, we actually don’t know that much about what Warframe’s Crossplay will entail.… [Continue Reading]

On Getting Back Into Drawing

by
Random Phoviverse characters

A long time ago, I used to draw. In fact, drawing was probably my biggest hobby, especially back in school. It’s something you can do pretty damn easily, since all you need is paper and a drawing implement. However, when I started doing my 500 words a day, my desire to draw faded away. Later depression made me give up on drawing completely, and what little art I did was mostly unseen. These days though, I am slowly getting back into drawing. While I don’t draw nearly as much as I write, it has been quite a change. Pleasant, almost.… [Continue Reading]

5 Oddly Related Video Game Songs I fall to sleep to

by
A strange place in a Minecraft world...

I’ve been pretty tired lately. Life has been hectic and I’ve had a lot on my mind. Even writing articles has been a bit of a problem. Now, after five years of writing daily, I’m actually facing writers block. But in the mean time, I’ve been looking for music to listen to. Mostly for me to fall asleep. And now that I have a nice pair of headphones I can wear in bed, I can finally get some better sleep. Funnily enough though, as I was making a Spotify playlist, I realised that, well, some of the songs I listen… [Continue Reading]

5 Unusual Ways to Heal Yourself and Avoid Damage in Warframe

by
A Nezha with the Eros Wings Ephemera and a Vasca Kavat

On the surface of Warframe, especially early on, there’s a small problem with, well, just playing. For low level players, there are often too few ways to heal yourself. But as you climb the ranks, players find more and more ways to heal themselves and stop themselves from dying. However, there are quite a few ways you can heal yourself, and some of them aren’t exactly obvious. Guardian and Medi-Ray We’re going to start off simple here. Medi-Ray is a mod for robotic companions, which makes them slowly heal you if you take damage. The healing isn’t the best, but… [Continue Reading]

I’m Confused About All This Witch Queen Stuff

by
Saint-14 and me

Normally, I don’t follow Destiny 2 that closely. While I have tried to enjoy Destiny 2, I find it hard to play regularly. There is a lot of grind in Destiny 2, but since I already have a game I grind hard in, I don’t really fancy another. That being said, I do keep an eye on new updates and stuff. After all, my brother plays Destiny 2 and he enjoys it a lot, telling me when all the cool new stuff is appearing. So when he informed me that Destiny 2 were doing a live stream and announcement that… [Continue Reading]

The Ever-Increasing Difficulty of Finding a Ditto

by
Shiny Ditto from the Kanto Tour special research

Ditto is a cool Pokemon. It has the ability to turn into pretty much anything, and in Pokemon GO, it’s no different. While Ditto may spawn in the wild in the main games, the same Pokemon is almost never seen in Pokemon GO. In fact, Ditto disguises itself as different Pokemon, and will turn back into its normal self when caught. Editor’s Note: Of course, a week after posting this article, Ditto suddenly becomes both shiny and as a reward for research breakthroughs. Typical. As someone who played Pokemon GO first and the main games later, I somehow forgot about… [Continue Reading]

The other day, I briefly noticed that there were a lot of spam comments. Normally, I delete these on the regular, but I must have just forgotten lately. Not that it’s a huge problem, I’m the only person who ever sees spam comments. And it’s very easy to get rid of spam as well. All I have to do is click a button, and all those spam messages disappear. What does surprise me though is just how much there is. Seriously, there can be thousands of spam messages if I forget to empty the spam bin. I’m pretty sure that… [Continue Reading]
