From Civilian to Messiah – A God Complex Towards Freeman

April 8, 2018April 4, 2018 Medic 0 Comments gordon freeman, half life, half-life 2, hl

After playing Half-Life a bit more, browsing through Half-Life 2 maps in GMod, re-reading what is basically Half-Life 2: Episode 3 and watching a large array of Half-Life content, I’ve realised something. The more you play Half-Life, the more people begin to worship Gordon Freeman. And that bothers me. As I re-watched the delightful series Freeman’s Mind, I was reminded by an argument a friend of mine came up with. In Half-Life 1 and the other goldsrc games, you’re just a person who happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. In Half-Life 2 and onwards, you’re… [Continue Reading]

Why Heavy?

April 7, 2018April 6, 2018 Medicinal Warlock 0 Comments heavy, Team Fortress 2

While a large portion of the newer players may struggle to see the appeal in playing Medic, most of the older players feel the same about playing Heavy. A lot of people just see him as a glorified mobile Sentry and occasional Sandvich dispenser, or a tremendous waste of space on a team a full-time universal Sandvich dispenser and nothing else. However, to me, Heavy is one of my go-to classes when a solid damage dealer is needed, perhaps more so to me than Soldier. I find that, while Soldier does have a much higher skill ceiling and is overall… [Continue Reading]

Plague Star Has Returned!

April 6, 2018 Medic 0 Comments clan, event, grind, guide, help, infested, plague star, time limited, tip, warframe

From April 5th to April 17th, Plague Star is back, bringing Infested and a massive, hideous lump of cancerous matter to the middle of the Plains of Eidolon. The event is a platform-wide operation, affecting the Plains no matter what if you’re on PC, and is probably coming back to Console versions in 2-3 weeks. The way Plague Star works is pretty much the same as last time. You grab the Infested Catalyst blueprint from your Clan Dojo, you build some and equip them in your gear slot, you accept the bounty from Konzu in Cetus, you head out to… [Continue Reading]

Pacific Rim: Uprising – Review!

April 5, 2018April 3, 2018 Medic 0 Comments jaegers, kaiju, monsters, movie, review, roar

As a pre-birthday treat, I got to see Pacific Rim: Uprising with the family on the 31st. And it was a good movie. Genuinely a bit of fun. The story follows on from the previous Pacific Rim, being set 10 or so years later after the big victory. They’re still using Jaegars for various bits and pieces, mainly just policing but only seem to have like 5 of them total. And there’s enough scrapyards everywhere that some random kid manages to build a small, single-pilot one. Anyway, there’s been no activity but they’re still training people just in case and… [Continue Reading]

Team Fortress 2 now has Real Competitive Rankings

April 4, 2018March 30, 2018 Medic 2 Comments comp, competitive, matchmaking, Team Fortress 2, update

Out of the blue, a wild Team Fortress 2 update has appeared! A Team Fortress 2 update that actually has some substance, that is more than just the release of a new cosmetic set. Okay, that was still a big part of the update, and ironically the new collection is called the Blue Moon Case, but still, we got changes! Balance ones! The biggest thing though is the change to the competitive system. The much needed changes. The changes we should have had ages ago. Before the update, everyone, from b4nny to a guy who literally just started the game… [Continue Reading]

Things You Should Never Buy When it Comes to Warframe

April 3, 2018March 29, 2018 Medic 0 Comments advice, expensive, guide, help, money, noob, tips, warframe

Warframe’s a free to play game. You can get to Mastery Rank 25 and unlock every game-changing item in the game for free, aside from Founders’ items. You can trade for the in-game premium currency Platinum, which is extremely rare for a free to play title. There are also a lot of items only available for free currencies in the game. It’s really pretty amazing. BUT there are still a handful of expensive pitfalls that you really should avoid. Mod Packs These things are fucking awful. You’re guaranteed one ‘rare mod’ in each pack, but rare just means gold, and… [Continue Reading]

An Old Medic Failing with the Best Healer Ever

April 2, 2018March 29, 2018 Medic 0 Comments harrow, healer, oberon, trinity, warframe

For someone who calls himself Medic, mained Medic in Team Fortress 2 and had a single class make up about 80% of my gameplay, it seems really weird that I wouldn’t leap into Warframe and grab the healing character at the first opportunity. Back then, Trinity wasn’t even that hard to get, her parts dropping from a tag-team fight between two bosses I’d already soundly defeated. Considering how powerful Trinity is, was and always will be, it seems insane that Medic’s playing anyone but. That’s not to say I never play Trinity. She has her place. She’s a good frame.… [Continue Reading]

Slow Internet Connections and You

April 1, 2018March 25, 2018 Medic 0 Comments frustration, games, lag

It’s funny isn’t it? How slow internet speeds can really piss you off. Should your internet connection suddenly disappear (generally because of power cuts or whatever), you get a little angry about it, but then you calm down and move on. There is nothing you can do, so you get over your losses and move on. But slow internet connections? They are one of the most rage-inducing things in existence, alongside things like stubbing your toe and stepping on LEGO pieces. The opportunity to get things done, to watch your video or view a gif of a kitten falling over… [Continue Reading]

Farming for Kuva

March 31, 2018March 29, 2018 Medic 0 Comments kuva, ramble, rant, shut up lotus, stupid whiny queen, warframe

Farming for Kuva is one of the most tedious things in Warframe ever. There are few things on the same level as Kuva farming. Defection and the Infested Salvage mission to farm for Nidus mostly. But at least the reward of getting Nidus is totally worth it, and once you have that lone Harrow part, you can ignore Defection completely. The farm for Ivara might be tedious but Spy missions are always good to learn, considering they’re common in Sorties. Kuva though, it’s a resource in multiple weapons and you need a TON of it for re-rolling riven mods. Kuva… [Continue Reading]

On The New Kuva Survival

March 30, 2018March 29, 2018 Medic 0 Comments kuva, ramble, rant, survival, warframe

As soon as the update hit, I knew exactly what would happen. People coming out in droves screaming that this “Kuva in the Kuva Fortress” mission doesn’t give enough Kuva and that it’s not very good and that DE should be ashamed of themselves. That was exactly what happened. That and a few bugs – Kuva not being saved to your inventory at the end of the mission and being unable to farm more Kuva, but I think they’ve been ironed out already. The mission is simple. On Taveuni, the Survival mission on the Kuva Fortress, enemies can now drop… [Continue Reading]
