On… Stuff… So Much Stuff…

April 4, 2021March 27, 2021 Medic 0 Comments ramble, random, so much stuff, stuff

The other day, we completely emptied a house. Why we had to empty that house isn’t important. It was full of my family’s old stuff and it all needed to go. Frankly, we had already cleared out most of the house. In one final session, we finished the job, having hired a skip and filled it up. As brother sorted out the last few bits though, I stared at that skip. And all I could think of was “holy shit we had a lot of stuff.” But were did all this stuff come from? Honestly? No idea. My whole family… [Continue Reading]

Rambling On About A Wrestling Match

March 15, 2021March 9, 2021 Medic 0 Comments ramble, wrestling

I’m not really a fan of wrestling. It’s a bit of silly fun, as far as I’m concerned. The testosterone-fueled equivalent of a soap opera. You’ve got plots, drama and iffy acting, combined with near-naked men fighting each other. Yeah, sure, it’s not really a sport, but it’s entertaining. Just requires a suspension of your disbelief. We do it all the time for movies and video games, and wrestling is no different. Personally, I’m not that into it. I mean, I’ll watch a wrestling match if I’m told that it’s “cool” or “awesome” or something like that. While I wouldn’t… [Continue Reading]

You Should Totally Start Playing A Rhythm Game Right Now

January 21, 2021January 19, 2021 TimC 0 Comments Dance Dance Revolution, Rhythm Games

Dance Dance Revolution is a lifestyle. Every day, thousands of grown adults spend their evenings stepping in time to J-Pop and Touhou Music. And I’m one of them. The childlike excitement of spending a few hours per week at an arcade has become my anchor to socialization in an era where nothing fun is happening. A Global Pandemic, Turbulent Domestic Politics, and few aspirations beyond survival have hollowed the resolve of many adults my age. Things have soured so much, I’ve had to learn new words to describe it all. Doomscrolling is among my favorites, slang that describes the Social… [Continue Reading]

The Binding of Team Fortress

When I originally started writing this article, Afterbirth+ hadn’t come out yet. This DLC introduced modding and a Steam Workshop for the game Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. Like other games with modding capabilities, Afterbirth+ wouldn’t just inject new content into the Binding of Isaac, but it’d make the game last longer. After all, just look at Skyrim, with all its mods keeping the game on life support. At the time though, I was only considering purchasing the DLC. The thing that put me off was the fact that I’d need to purchase both Afterbirth AND Afterbirth+. And that, in my… [Continue Reading]

Don’t Forget To Give Head Pats to Your Designers

October 24, 2020October 18, 2020 Medic 0 Comments ramble, rant

Hi, I am Medic, and, despite the username, I am a graphic designer. That means I design graphics as part of my job. Now, graphic design isn’t the only thing I do. I am supposedly a multi-talented individual. Capable of doing lots of other things, like web design and writing as well. But graphic design is the skill I picked up the earliest. I had a copy of Corel Draw on my crappy computer when I was 11 and it all went downhill from there. Design is harder than it looks. At first glance, design seems to fall into two… [Continue Reading]

The Archaic Beauty That Is Windows Live Movie Maker

October 22, 2020October 15, 2020 Medic 0 Comments fluff, movie maker, random, video, windows live

Aabicus has written an article about free tools for making videos and stuff like that. He’s a professional video editor these days. In fact, that’s aabicus’s main job now, editing and putting together videos. It’s a tough job that requires a lot of work and a lot of patience. Me on the other hand, I’m not a video editor. I’m actually not very good at video editing at all. In fact, I’m particularly stifled because I’ve never really had the… specs to do video editing. But the keen eye might notice that there ARE videos by me on the SPUF… [Continue Reading]

When A Minecraft Server Turns into a Gambling Server

October 21, 2020October 14, 2020 Medic 0 Comments minecraft, pixelmon

I like to play a bit of Pixelmon. Pixelmon is a mod for Minecraft that basically combines Minecraft and Pokemon. The best experience to do this is on a multiplayer server. There are lots out there, but I play on one in particular. Unfortunately, this server just seems to be turning into a place to gamble. To the point that, well, I really wouldn’t recommend playing on the RC-Gamers Pixelmon servers at all. Now, I understand that servers need to make money, but… I’m going to get this out of the way first. Yes, servers need donations to keep on… [Continue Reading]

A Little Drive To and From The Capital

October 8, 2020October 1, 2020 Medic 1 Comment cyprus, driving, ramble

This is one of those weird articles where talk about something really random. There’s not going to be much structure or anything. I’m just gonna talk. That being said however, I actually had to check and make sure I hadn’t written something like this before. So, today, we are going to talk about a random thing. The journey from the capital of Cyprus to the city in which I live. A journey that takes 1.5 – 2 hours, depending on traffic. Why am I talking about this? Well, it’s a trip I’ve made a few times in the last few… [Continue Reading]

A Bad Day

September 26, 2020 Medic 2 Comments

Normally there would be a, well, normal article here. Probably something about video games. Most likely Warframe. Occasionally I would ramble about something in my life. But I dialed back on the personal life stuff a while back. As part of a new year’s resolution or something. Anyway, yeah, normally this is a video game blog. Today though? Not at all. Heck, I am not even bothering with spell check. Or headings. Funnily enough, those annoying H4 things, I swear they slightly boosted our daily views. I’m rambling a bit today. Sorry. Although this isn’t a normal article, I will… [Continue Reading]
