Rocking the Ropalolyst

Dressed in white, blue and gold, Nezha and Gauss both stared at the bright yellow Volt that landed beside them and tutted. “What?” Volt asked as he loaded his Kuva Twin Stubbas, then pulled out a hideous, also bright yellow Zaw. “Dude…” Gauss tutted again, flicking one of the toggles on his Acceltra Prime. “What?” “Look at yourself!” Volt glanced down at his arms and chest, then peered over his shoulders, where his Uru Syandana was hanging, then turned back to Gauss. “What? Is this because I’m yellow?” Gauss stared at Volt some more, then crossed his arms. “No, seriously,… [Continue Reading]

Dante is *PRETTY* good

A lot of Warframes are very hit or miss on release, and many of them are a tad underpowered. Yareli was a mess on release, but newer Warframes are better and better at being at the very least usable. Dante on the other hand is completely usable out of the box. He’s good. Real good. Sure, Dante doesn’t have armour strip, but he has spammy slash damage, which is great. Dante also has healing, Overguard generation, damage boosts and is just all-round a good Warframe. Light Verse gives you Overguard, Dark Verse does slash damage to whatever is in front… [Continue Reading]

Wobbling Around on Warframe on the Switch

The other day, I decided to do something stupid and smart at the same time. I decided to spend €10 on a 64GB microSD card, so I could play Warframe on the Nintendo Switch. I have actually played on the Switch before, but with Warframe’s recent updates, it only just exceeds the 40GB of inbuilt memory within the bright yellow Switch Lite that I own. At the same time, I also have Pokemon Violet installed and I didn’t want to have to uninstall that. When I first tried Warframe on the Switch, I started a brand new account, with a… [Continue Reading]

The Bug Out Event Sucked

Not all events are created equal, but the Bug Out event we recently had was pretty damn lame. There was very little good about it, and the event just didn’t really do anything. Now, Bug Types aren’t a great bunch. They’re often the punching bag of the Pokemon world, and can be split into two forms: the crap you catch on early routes and the hard-to-catch stuff later on that gets a decent secondary typing or a mega evolution or something. This event though only really contained the former. Sure, we got Mega Heracross in raids, but, well, the only… [Continue Reading]

Bellsprout Community Day

No one asked for Bellsprout Community Day. No one. Not anyone. Even people who use it in PvP weren’t really looking for a Bellsprout Community Day. However, Niantic saw that the 20th of the 4th, 4/20 in the US, fell on a Saturday, and they decided that Pokemon number #69 was the perfect choice for a Community Day. Because why not double down with both a 420 meme and a 69 meme? That being said, they could doubled down on the 420 meme twice, since Pokemon number 420 is Cherubi, but its evolution is weather-based and Niantic probably couldn’t be… [Continue Reading]

Rushing Warframes Is Kinda Lame

So apparently Dante is a lot of fun. Dante in this case being the new Warframe released in Dante Unbound, the most recent Warframe update. The archivist Warframe has an exalted book and a ton of cool features, including some ghostly owls and the ability to create vast, vast amounts of Overguard, which is basically overshields except way better. Honestly, Overguard pisses all over overshields and frames that rely on overshields, but that’s not the topic of this article. Today, I want to talk about Warframe build times, while I patiently wait for Dante to finish cooking in my foundry.… [Continue Reading]

A Warfame’s Fictional Writings

“So, why are we waiting again?” Frost asked as he threw an energy pad on the ground and tutted. “I wanted to wait for a whole squad!” Volt replied, fiddling with his Vectis. It had been a while since Volt had done anything apart from close Void Fissures on his own, and for some reason, he’d decided to head to the weird Entrati Labs on Deimos, mostly out of curiosity. The Cavia, a weird team of Void-touched animals, led by an oddly almost normal human being by the name of Loid, needed their help, and that had made Volt start… [Continue Reading]

A Pirate Persona

Now I’m not actually a very violent person. Sure, I play video games, and my favourite video game involves being a yellow mass-murdering space ninja, but I’m rather tame. Heck, my online alias, Arkay, is named after one of my Phoviverse characters, a friendly death god who doesn’t like his job and spends way too long explaining that he’s more than just death, he’s also the personification of energy changing forms. However, out on the Sea of Thieves though, I’m a monster. I even have a persona for my pirate. My pirate is, well, not evil, but definitely not the… [Continue Reading]

Mega Heracross Raid Day

Raid days are fun, and it’s nice to have a chance to get a shiny for a Pokemon that’s normally a regional, but I feel kinda ripped off about this one. It was a pretty standard raid day, and we did get 8 free raids (5 additional passes, plus the previous day’s pass, plus this month’s bonus of two free passes a day) and I did a few extra raids with premium passes. Most of the raids, we did as a duo, me and my brother, because he really wanted the shiny, and Heracross is one of his favourite Pokemon.… [Continue Reading]

Mediocre Research Rewards, Still…

Alongside the Team Rocket Takeover event, we got a timed research quest with two stages. The first stage was pretty simple but also a tad long, and involved nothing but catching 25 dark types, with a reward for every 5 dark types you caught. All you got was some XP and a Vullaby encounter but since the majority of spawns during the event were dark types, I didn’t expect too much. I suppose the Vullaby encounter was nice because they were rare spawns, but still, it was a simple task with a simple reward. However, the second part of this… [Continue Reading]
