Thoughts on Soulframe from Tennocon 2023

Tennocon has been and gone, but we got to see a lot of stuff. One of the cooler things was the intro into Tennolive, the big content reveal, and it started off with Soulframe, the other game Digital Extremes is making. After a long wait, people didn’t seem that happy to have a massive Soulframe trailer before their Warframe stuff, but it was interesting to see. Soulframe looks like a sort of Elden-ring-y sort of thing, with combat similar to that of the Drifter in Duviri. You’re mostly restricted to melee, although it does look like you can get a… [Continue Reading]

Back on the Zariman Ten Zero

While grinding out Nightwave, I’ve had to go to the Zariman and do some missions there. Every so often there’s a Nightwave task to do “x Void Y Missions”, and none of them are particularly fun. But off I go, off to the Zariman in order to get 4500 standing for Nora. Honestly, I don’t like any of the Zariman stuff. I find it all annoying. Lore-wise, the Zariman is huge. This is the ship that got stuck in the Void, where all the adults became crazy monsters and the kids had to kill their own families. It’s where the… [Continue Reading]

The Second Legend of Monkey Island Tall Tale

On September 1st (or rather August 31st for my friends), the second Tall Tale of Monkey Island, the Quest for Guybrush, came out. It’s a tall tale set on Melee Island, the same place as the first Tall Tale. This Tall Tale had us looking for a way to save Guybrush Threepwood from the strange day dream that he is trapped in. As we sail through the sea of the damned, we get a message from Lechuck, who says that he’s basically already won and wants to take over the Sea of Thieves. But we have a plan to stop… [Continue Reading]

Galarian Birds and Master Balls

One of my favourite things in Pokemon GO is free things. In this case, I am talking about the Daily Incense. Upon using the Daily Incense, for 15 minutes, you get one spawn a minute, assuming you are moving. The spawns are generally similar to whatever Pokemon are currently spawning, so if there’s an event, you get event spawns, if there’s no event, it’s just normal stuff. However, there are three incredibly rare prizes to be won. When your Daily Incense is on, there is a chance for one of the three Galarian Birds to spawn. The Galarian Birds are… [Continue Reading]

Charmander Classic Community Day

Classic Community Days always bring back a Pokemon from the past who previously had a Community Day. In the case of Charmander, it actually already had two community days. The first one gave its evolution Charizard Blast Burn, the standard starter Pokemon fire charge move. The second gave Charizard the fast move Dragon Breath. Both are good moves in their own ways. Charmander’s Classic Community Day was the chance to get both moves at once. Are these moves any good though? Blast Burn certainly is. Charizard is pretty good in raids. Not the best (especially with the likes of Reshiram,… [Continue Reading]

On my experiences with SFM

Recently I got a request for the files of one of my SFM works that I used as a banner art for an old TF2 article. Unfortunately my laptop broke days before the request, so I lost all my SFM files and high-res renders of my old works. That surprisingly left me feeling a bit sad and empty, despite me not even remembering their existence for literal years. I can’t turn back time or have my old laptop magically fix itself though, so instead of crying over spilt milk I am simply going to talk about how good it used… [Continue Reading]

Theories on Warframe 1999

Seeing the Warframe 1999 trailer at Tennocon still blows my mind. I’ve found myself watching the whole reveal of Whispers in the Walls and Warframe 1999 multiple times now, and damn it, it makes me really hyped up. I’m way more hyped up for these two than I was for both the New War and the Duviri Paradox. Okay, granted, those two updates were good, but they took a long time to actually come out, and they didn’t really match what we saw in the original trailers. While Whispers in the Walls is still rather mindblowing, I want to focus… [Continue Reading]

Revisiting Old Warframe Bosses

One of the nicer things about Nightwave is that you can end up redoing content, old and new. The same can also be said with the Tenno missions we’ve had coming up to Tennocon. Warframe has a lot of different bosses and I’ve had a chance to re-experience a good number of them. And some of them are better than others. The most recent thing I had to redo was Exploiter Orb. It was an Elite Weekly task that kept on coming up for me, so I decided to do it. Luckily, there is actually matchmaking with Exploiter Orb, even… [Continue Reading]

On Not Spending Fortunes On Clothes

In the Sea of Thieves, the number one goal is to get a fuckton of gold. Gold is the be-all-and-end-all of the seas, you need it for almost everything in the Sea of Thieves. And, most importantly, you need gold to buy clothes. After all, the second biggest goal in the Sea of Thieves is to look fucking awesome, to be the pirate with the most drip. However, clothes and gear can get pretty expensive. There’s clothing you can buy that easily hits the millions of gold, particularly the Dark Adventurer sets, and stuff from the Gold Hoarders. If you… [Continue Reading]

GO Fest 2023 – Day 2

Day Two of GO Fest is always a bit more relaxed compared to day one. Mostly. While day one mostly focused on Diancie and collection challenges, day two focused on a lot more raids and featured Mega Rayquaza. Now, Mega Rayquaza is a pretty big thing. It’s so powerful that, in competitive Pokemon battling in the main games, Mega Rayquaza has to be banned. It’s hugely powerful and can completely nullify its weaknesses. In Pokemon GO, it’s not as powerful, but it still does an absolute ton of damage, to the point that it’s one of the most powerful Pokemon… [Continue Reading]
