Looking at Warframe’s Milestone Weapons

March 3, 2019March 1, 2019 Medic 3 Comments azima, guide, milestone, milestone weapon, sigma and octanis, warframe, weapon, zenistar, zenith

With Warframe’s milestone login system, you get a little reward every time you sign in, with bigger rewards every 50 and 100 days. On your 100th, 300th, 500th and 700th logins, you get a choice of one of four weapons: the Azima, the Zenistar, the Zenith or the Sigma and Octanis. Considering you get one of these weapons every 200 days, it can be pretty hard deciding which one to choose. You can get your first special weapon on your 100th login, with a choice between the Azima, the Zenistar or the Zenith. The Sigma and Octanis becomes available from… [Continue Reading]

EX-Raids are Pointless

March 2, 2019February 28, 2019 Medic 0 Comments ex raid, pokemon, pokemon go, raid

EX-Raids are pointless. They’re silly. A waste of time. Tedious and often unfair. But not actually difficult or anything. You see, I took part in an EX-Raid on the 22nd. It was from 1pm to 1:45pm at one of the fountains at the local town hall. Funnily enough, the in-game gym hasn’t properly been updated so it, alongside many of the Pokestops nearby, is kinda inaccurate. Either way, I drove there, met a bunch of people who were also there to do the EX-Raid, did the EX-Raid, caught my Attack Forme Deoxys and then left. Getting stuck in traffic as… [Continue Reading]

Fifty Platinum – What Should You Do With It?

March 1, 2019February 27, 2019 Medic 0 Comments guide, Platinum, trading, warframe

When you start Warframe, you’re given 50 Platinum. Platinum is the premium currency of Warframe which, unlike many other premium currencies, can be traded with other players. Most of the time. The 50 Platinum you start off with though can only be spent in the Warframe Market and can’t be traded with other players in any way. The question is, how do you spend that Platinum? It’s very tempting to instantly spend that 50 Platinum on one of the cheap Syandanas for your Warframe. The Uru Syandana for example is very nice, with a metallic sheen to it and a… [Continue Reading]

The Wolf of Saturn Six – New Alert System

February 28, 2019February 28, 2019 Medic 0 Comments

Remember Alerts? Those random missions you could do that would give you pitiful amounts of Endo, Credits and other resources? The sort of thing that could genuinely earn you more of the reward inside the mission than finishing the mission itself? Well Alerts are going away, replaced by Nightwave, a new hybrid thing between alerts and miniature quests with an episodic feel to them and unique rewards to obtain, as well as a credit shop to buy all the things you normally get in alerts. The first of these episodes is the Wolf of Saturn Six, who is a rather… [Continue Reading]

On Articuno

February 27, 2019February 25, 2019 Medic 0 Comments articuno, bad luck, legendary, legendary pokemon, pokemon go

I have way more pent up anger towards non-existent monsters than I have any real right to have. Just yesterday I was complaining about how Latias was a right little bitch, and now I’m about to go on another 500 word rant about another Pokemon. Today’s victim is Articuno, the first of the Legendary Birds from the Kanto region. One of the old originals. Basically, Articuno is a bastard. Okay, maybe I’m being a bit unfair. The main reason that Articuno is a bastard is that I have failed to catch Articuno for a very long time. Basically, in the… [Continue Reading]

Shiny Pidgey and Rattata are now in Pokemon Go!

February 26, 2019February 26, 2019 aabicus 0 Comments announcement, event, pokemon go, rattata

Hope you weren’t feeling burnt out by all these last-minute events in Pokemon Go, because Niantic just announced another one! https://twitter.com/PokemonGoApp/status/1100139961750298625 Today is Pokemon Day, the 23rd anniversary of when Pokemon Red and Green first came out on GameBoy in 1996! To celebrate, Niantic’s taking a walk down memory lane by dedicating an event to the Pokemon that players encounter at the beginning of those games. From February 26 to February 28th, Kanto legendaries are returning to raids (probably the birds, though I’m crossing my fingers for Shadow Ball Mewtwos), Pikachu and Eevee spawns will be wearing flower crowns, and… [Continue Reading]

Seen 7, caught 2. One of which was a guaranteed shiny catch. I had better odds with Giratina.

Latias is a Bitch

February 25, 2019February 23, 2019 Medic 0 Comments latias, legendary pokemon, pokemon, pokemon go

All of a sudden, after the Lugia and Ho-Oh event and the Kyogre and Groudon event, there’s suddenly a Latias event. Just Latias. The red and white airplane dragon Pokemon. You know, the one that’s paired up with Latios, the blue and white airplane dragon Pokemon. This mini-event popped up out of the blue just as people were getting kinda hyped up for the Clamperl Research event. In fact, a lot of people didn’t even see the announcement as it kinda got buried by the Treecko Community Day announcement. So yeah, Latias is currently in Level 5 raids, somewhat sharing… [Continue Reading]

Plenty of Clamperls and also other, unusual Pokemon...

Clamperl Research Day

February 24, 2019February 25, 2019 Medic 0 Comments clamperl, pokemon go, research, shiny

When I saw the announcement for the Clamperl Community Research event, I thought two things: “Why is Clamperl only being released now?” and “Oh heck, is this going to be like the Feebas event?” Thankfully, while the answer to the first question is unknown, the answer to the second question is a resounding “NO!” It seems that Niantic learned a huge amount from the Feebas event because this Clamperl event was a billion times easier. First off, the research. Far better research. The Make Nice Throws and Make Great Throws tasks returned, but their numbers were reduced to 5 Nice… [Continue Reading]

How Difficult is Warframe Really?

February 23, 2019February 21, 2019 Medic 0 Comments warframe

When I first started playing Warframe, I thought the game was hard. All I had was an MK1-Paris and a stick to hit endless swarms of enemies with. Energy and health were always at a premium and I’d spend my time never casting abilities, desperately saving my energy for emergencies. 2000 hours later and I can do most missions with ease, cutting through said swarms of enemies with a bigger, pointier stick and an array of nasty weapons. I would even go as far as say that Warframe is a genuinely easy game. The thing is, Warframe’s difficulty is like… [Continue Reading]

Here's one of my earliest catches, a Pikachu I got from some of my first field research, alongside some Pokemon I won in a claw machine. Yes, my duvet cover has dinosaurs on it.

A New Camera Mode for Pokemon Go

February 22, 2019February 21, 2019 Medic 0 Comments AR, augmented reality, camera, photo, pokemon, pokemon go

I’m going to be very blunt here: The AR (Augmented Reality) mode for Pokemon Go is a royal pain in the ass. Having to hold your phone and its camera steady while trying to catch anything but the most basic of Pokemon is awkward and you’ve got to spin around like a twonk trying to actually find the Pokemon because they’re never where you expect them to be. That’s why I was so thankful that the AR mode refused to work on both the Celebi and the Mew quests for me. That being said, the whole AR mode thing does… [Continue Reading]
