The Mod Drop Chance Booster Situation

Medic 1 Comment , , ,

Editor’s Note: Digital Extremes have clarified the situation with mod boosters AND have gone the extra step and made it so looting abilities stack again. That kinda makes this article pointless, but it still serves as an explanation as to why the community was annoyed in the first place. A while back, I may have mentioned that the ability to reroll loot using various Warframe abilities was nerfed, so that the abilities no longer stack with each other, meaning only one enemy can be ‘desecrated’ at a time by any one ability. This looting nerf has remained unchanged, and it… [Continue Reading]

Borderlands 2 and the Benefits of Cooperative Mode

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

If there’s one main gameplay change I really, really like in Borderlands 3, it’s the option to change how looting works with other players in your team. In the previous games, everyone saw every weapon that dropped and everyone got pretty much the same gear. If you worked together to kill a boss and it dropped seven guns, then everyone saw the same seven guns and would have to work with each other to decide who got what. Or they could duel with each other and fight over who gets the one and only legendary that dropped from said boss.… [Continue Reading]

Being Too Harsh On The Pokemon We Catch

Medic 0 Comments , ,

I did a raid the other day and caught a Mewtwo. In any other Pokemon game, that would be an amazing achievement. Heck, if I had done that with a small group of players, it also would have been an achievement. Really, catching a Mewtwo in general in Pokemon Go is an achievement because that bastard will jump up and down and bitchslap your Pokeballs away like nobody’s business. Yet when I checked the stats of my freshly caught Mewtwo, I was disappointed. It was another Mewtwo with somewhat mediocre stats. Another mediocre Mewtwo to throw on the pile. I… [Continue Reading]

Windows and Its Damned Forced Actions

Medic 0 Comments , ,

Windows is an asshole. Windows 10 in particular is an asshole. To the point that I wish we could all just go back to Windows XP or whatever. But it’s not just any asshole. It’s an asshole that does things without asking you about it. While I am writing this article, I am supposed to be working. I have a bunch of stuff that needs doing, from website updates to artwork for labels and swing tickets. Right now, I can’t do any of that. Why? Because I had the audacity to leave a particular external hard drive plugged into my… [Continue Reading]

Yet Another 5 Things I’d Like to See in Pokemon Go

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

There’s always lots of little things that could do with improvements in Pokemon Go and I’m always stumbling across more. So, keeping in the spirits of aabicus’s original article about items and my own desired quality of life features (some of which actually got added, like quicker appraisals, here are yet 5 more things I’d like to see in Pokemon Go. Keeping the Shorter Raid Egg Timers Because of current events involving tier 5 raids with multiple Legendary Pokemon, there has been a stark change in raid timers. Instead of waiting an hour to see what’s inside a raid, the… [Continue Reading]

A Stupid Idea for A Vauban Rework

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

Vauban is a sad, sad Warframe. Over the years, Vauban has become weaker and weaker and weaker. Not because he has been nerfed repeatedly, but because so many other frames have come out over the years that provide better crowd control than Vauban does and almost all other frames have better ways of dealing damage to enemies. Not to mention the fact that the best crowd control tends to be death, which Vauban doesn’t really deal in. There’s a secondary issue too, that Vauban doesn’t really fit his theme. Vauban is named after Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban, a French… [Continue Reading]

Quick Thoughts on Borderlands 3

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

Ages ago, I considered doing a series of reviews on games based on the first half an hour of gameplay and nothing more. I never really got around to it because of just how varied that half an hour can be, and I was never really sure what rules to have. Should it be 30 minutes of straight gameplay only? Should I include troubleshooting and cut scenes? I never knew,so I never did it. But it was something I also considered doing with Borderlands 3. Anyway, after many troubles trying to obtain Borderlands 3, I finally have the game installed… [Continue Reading]

On Having Your One Final Use Being Made Redundant

Medic 0 Comments ,

On the Larunda relay, everyone is minding their own business, wondering when Baro Ki’Teer is going to arrive, when they suddenly hear a large bang. Most of the relay ignores the bang, since explosions are a common occurrence in most of the Origin System, but a couple of people go outside, to the ships, to see what it was. Standing in the middle of the hangar is a Hydroid. This Hydroid is sporting a complete Grineer look, complete with Tennogen Graxx skin, the Saturn Six Grineer armour, a Zarr and some Twin Grakatas. Even his landing craft has a Kuva… [Continue Reading]

Oh, Hey, Shiny Mewtwo Is Here in Pokemon Go…

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

What was that? Is that the sound of Mewtwo coming around to kick my Pokemon’s asses as he reappears in level 5 raids for a week? Why yes, yes it is! As of Monday (well, Tuesday for people not in the Americas), Mewtwo is replacing Deoxys as the level 5 raid boss and, for the first time ever, he’s appearing in shiny form. Which means everyone wants him. Yeah, that sounds just about right, especially since I ranted about how Mewtwo isn’t that amazing when it comes to Pokemon Go. At least, he’s not as amazing as everyone assumes. And… [Continue Reading]

Not a Borderlands 3 Review

Medic 0 Comments

If you’ve ever wondered why the Daily SPUF doesn’t do reviews of newly released games, well, there’s three reasons: firstly, I am not very fast when it comes to games, so I can’t complete them quickly enough to give an overall review of games; secondly, there are already a billion people doing the same thing with new games; and thirdly, we don’t get any free game codes so any brand new games I want to play come out of my pocket (just like the hosting and domain name for the Daily SPUF). Or, in the case of Borderlands 3, my… [Continue Reading]
