That Slow Feeling of Being Burnt Out

Medic 0 Comments , ,

It was bound to happen eventually. I’ve been playing Warframe for a long time, coming up to about two years now. And now, after hitting Mastery Rank 23, I’m starting to get burnt out. I’m running out of things to do, and a string of bad luck when it comes to acquiring the new stuff is making me kinda tired. Okay, yes, I got an Arcane Energize yesterday, but I’ve gone though twenty Neo B4 relics trying to get a Kronen Prime handle and eventually it all starts wearing you down. Let’s be fair though. Warframe has done an amazing… [Continue Reading]

My Growing Obsession with Khora

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

It’s weird how a new favourite suddenly emerges out of nowhere, leaping up behind you and giving you the shock of your life as you realise you’ve been using this new favourite more and more. Okay, I’m still utterly obsessed with Volt, but Khora? Bloody hell, I never thought I’d be using her so much. Khora just kinda popped out of nowhere. I leveled Khora up and stuck her in the arsenal while I resumed with playing Volt and trying to get Kronen and Tiberon Prime, but when I failed that (to the point that I STILL don’t have Kronen… [Continue Reading]

Board Games: Cash ‘N Guns & Bloodbound

aabicus 0 Comments , , , , , , ,

One of the coolest parts about attending the UCSC Games & Playable Media program is the games lounge on the second floor. It’s a large room with a bunch of gaming consoles, board games, and tabletop RPG books, and I’ve been able to play all sorts of different board games in the last year. Two of them really stood out as amazing party games that I’ve purchased my own copies of, and I wanted to pay them some lip service. If you’re the sort who looks for games that large groups can enjoy, I highly recommend these two, especially because… [Continue Reading]

On Building Universes Again

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

A long time ago (literally nearly two years ago actually!), I wrote about building universes. In that article, I went on about how I had a MK3 universe and all that sort of thing, about some of the characters, things like that. It’s been a while though, so maybe it’s worth talking about what happened in those two years. Well, in those two years, I kinda… I changed my mind. Basically, the more depressed I got (and I was REALLY depressed in February of 2018), the more I was writing about Kinisis wanting to break and change everything. I was… [Continue Reading]

Overwatch Adds Hamster Droideka

aabicus 0 Comments , , ,

The newest Overwatch hero came completely out of left field. (Or, to be more, specific, the moon.) The unexpected hamster is even more surprising since ‘Hammond’ as a character has been the most anticipated new hero since Sombra and Doomfist. Ever since the Horizon Lunar Colony map was added, revealing that the only two escaped test subjects were Winston and ‘Hammond’, people have been theorizing that Blizzard will add a new chimp hero. These theories conflated with the jetpack cat meme that was born around the same time, further expanding the list of species fans were hypothesizing, and ever since… [Continue Reading]

5 Tips For Going Infamous in Payday 2

aabicus 0 Comments , ,

Payday 2‘s Infamy mechanic is designed to increase replayability, but it can be daunting since it’s non-reversible. There are some things you can do to make your next level-up marathon easier, so without further ado, here are 5 Things To Do Before Going Infamous #1) Make sure you have a good primary and secondary weapon with no reputation level requirements. I recommend the Interceptor .45 pistol and an akimbo SMG. Speaking of akimbo SMGs: #2) Since you’ll retain any weapons in your inventory, fill all your remaining weapon slots with the priciest gun available. At the time of this video,… [Continue Reading]

On Dragon Cave and Other View-Based Collection Games

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

In 2009, I was at peak Dragon Addiction and was looking for anything to sate my desire to be a dragon. Sometime during that year, I found the website Dragon Cave, a site dedicated to breeding and collection dragons. The idea is simple: you pick up an egg, either a fresh new one from the Cave or from a pile of eggs abandoned by other players, and you feed it with clicks and views. After 4-7 days, if the egg gets enough views, it hatches and you need to feed your new hatchling more clicks and views. After 4-7 more… [Continue Reading]

Rambling About the Corpus

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

The Corpus aren’t treated fairly in Warframe. Most of the time they’re simply set to one side. Most of the time, we have to deal with pissed off Grineer. The Natah quest featured Grineer. The War Within featured Grineer. The Silver Grove, Chains of Harrow, the Plains of Eidolon, the Sands of Inaros and even the shitty quest that is the Limbo Theorem are all Grineer places. What is Corpus-orientated? The Glast Gambit. And that quest was worse than the Limbo Theorem. The best Corpus thing we got lately was the Corpra Tennogen skin for Excalibur, the Supra Vandal, the… [Continue Reading]

Ordis Deserves Better

Medic 3 Comments , , , ,

I’ve been meaning to write another article about our good friend Ordis for a while, and the Sacrifice is the perfect opportunity to do so. All these years, Ordis has been by our side, helping us out, looking after our quarters, sorting out our Warframes and building our weapons for us. Ever since we woke up, weak and confused, Ordis has been there. Heck, he was the third person to speak to us, after Captain Vor threatening us and Lotus waking us up. Ordis has always been there. Ordis cares about us. But frankly, we treat him badly. Okay, maybe… [Continue Reading]

Payment in Detonite Injectors and Fieldrons

Medic 0 Comments , ,

I’ve been doing a lot of Invasions lately. Or rather, looking at invasions and wondering whether I can be bothered to do them or not. And then eventually doing them anyway because I need loot. Well, I say loot, I mean components. Well, I say components, I mean a handful of resources to build clan tech weapons. Alright, so Invasions are simple. There’s two types: you either have Corpus attacking Grineer nodes or vice versa, or you have Grineer or Corpus fighting off Infested, often called an Infested Outbreak. If it’s an Infested Outbreak and the mission node under attack… [Continue Reading]
