A Quick Review of Worms W.M.D.

August 17, 2023August 6, 2023 Medic 0 Comments holy hand grenade, jetpack, worms, Worms W.M.D.

I used to be a fan of the Worms series, starting with Worms Armageddon and Worms World Party, playing them as a kid. However, over the years, I kinda stopped playing them, mostly because we had other games on the PS2, and the Worms games we had were for the PS1. We did later try some of the 3d versions on PS2, Worms 3D and Worms: Forts Under Siege, but they just weren’t as fun as the 2D games. Later on, when I played on PC, I did have Worms 2 and Worms Armageddon on disk, and I later did… [Continue Reading]

Sandshrew Needs To Go Away

August 16, 2023August 5, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, pokemon go, sandshrew

I’ve complained about individual Pokemon in the past. A while ago, I ranted about how Dragonite is ugly and fat and that Dragonair’s evolution makes no sense. Today, I am going to rant about another Pokemon. A Pokemon also from the Kanto region. In this article, we’re going to talk about Sandshrew. Now, normally, Sandshrew is an okay Pokemon. The name is a bit obvious, but eh, it looks alright. It’s a pretty basic rock/ground type. Sandslash is a bit on the ugly side, but I don’t mind it so much, since I still have a Sandslash I used back… [Continue Reading]

Adventure Week Was Pretty Good

August 15, 2023August 13, 2023 Medic 0 Comments fossil, pokemon, pokemon go

If I’m honest, most of this year’s events in Pokemon GO have been average at best. For some reason, Niantic saves all the good events for various times of the year. February generally has a tour event and some nice anniversary stuff. August contains GO Fest and a variety of enticing events. October has Halloween and December has Christmas. Events in other months are generally not as big and can be quite lame. However, this year’s Adventure Week (which are normally in July) has been a pretty good event. Generally, Adventure Week (actually called Adventures Near and Far, but that’s… [Continue Reading]

Froakie Community Day

August 14, 2023August 13, 2023 Medic 0 Comments community day, froakie, greninja, pokemon go, starter

For the second month in a row, we’ve had a Water type as our Community Day Pokemon. But for August, we got a nice treat in the form of Froakie Community Day. Froakie is a starter Pokemon that evolves into the insanely popular Greninja. You know, like the Greninja in the anime. Well, not quite, we just got normal Greninja. Which we evolved from normal Froakies. Clearly, Niantic knew this would be a popular Community Day. We got both double stardust and double catch candy as the bonuses, which meant this event was very good for hardcore and casual players… [Continue Reading]

On Reviews for Overwatch 2

August 12, 2023August 11, 2023 Medic 1 Comment overwatch, ow2, reviews, Team Fortress 2

I don’t like Overwatch 2. I was born a Team Fortress 2 player, and Overwatch always felt like it was stepping on TF2’s toes. Back when Overwatch 1 came out, there were tons of similarities, but Overwatch 1 was tolerable as a game, even if it gave me horrible headaches. Overwatch 2 though, that came out and destroyed any respect that Overwatch 1 had earned. The sequel pissed all over players with horrendous micro-transactions, making things insanely grindy, making you work and grind or pay for new heroes and removing a whole player from your team, making it 5v5. And… [Continue Reading]

Blowing Up Halo 2’s “Tutorial” – Vidmaster Forever

August 11, 2023July 31, 2023 Glacier 0 Comments halo, Halo 2, marathon, tutorial

Get Creative. First Recon Vidmaster may have been conceived in concert with Marathon, but it hasn’t been home in over twenty-five years. I doubt anyone could expect the series would get a reboot in 2023. From UESC to UNSC and back again, the eponymous Vids have been on ice for quite some time– But I doubt the spirit of Vidmaster went anywhere as Bungie shot into superstardom with Halo back in 2001. In fact, Bungie’s shift to Xbox in an era before widespread broadband internet access leaves Halo’s campaigns more replayable than Marathon ever was. Long before matchmaking, single player… [Continue Reading]

My Favourite Armour Sets in Warframe

August 10, 2023July 29, 2023 Medic 0 Comments armour, cosmetics, warframe

Warframe has so many cosmetics. From colour palettes to syandanas to armour to what are essentially unusual effects, there is a lot of choice to be had. Armour in particular does a lot to alter the silhouette of any Warframe, but again, there are so many choices. Here are my five favourite armour sets Saturn Six armour I adore the Saturn Six armour. It fits nicely on male frames, giving them a nice, round shape while also actually looking like armour that might protect you. The colour channels match a lot of skins as well, making the Saturn Six armour… [Continue Reading]

Making Halo 2’s Hardest Encounter Even Harder – Vidmaster Forever

August 9, 2023July 31, 2023 Glacier 0 Comments challenge, halo, hell, sniper

The only thing worse than Jackals. First Recon Among First Person Shooters, it doesn’t get much more difficult than Halo 2 Legendary. Twenty years later and the game still finds ways to surprise and infuriate its players. Halo’s Legendary Difficulty has always been a little mean. Halo 2, however, is interactive malice. Most Legendary playthroughs end in Cairo Station’s first Pelican Hangar, but an equally nasty surprise lies in wait on Halo 2’s second mission, Outskirts. Perched on New Mombasa’s rooftops, Jackal Snipers are bastards, and are easily the most polarizing portion of Legendary Halo 2. Legendary Jackal Snipers have… [Continue Reading]

Things I Kinda Regret in Warframe

August 8, 2023July 27, 2023 Medic 0 Comments ramble, warframe

Warframe is a big game with a lot of stuff going on. From large updates to the release of new Prime Warframes, it’s easy to get overwhelmed or miss out on various things. Simply put, some mistakes were made. Here are some of mine. My choices in the New War I kinda rushed my way through the New War. I didn’t really enjoy Drifter’s combat and was desperate to get back to normal Warframe. Because of this, I ended up making a few mistakes. One of them was not taking the time to actually fight the third Archon. I was… [Continue Reading]

Random Things I Want back in Warframe

August 7, 2023August 28, 2023 Medic 0 Comments warframe

Warframe has evolved over the years, and things have changed over said years. However, not all change is good. Here are some things I want back in Warframe. Fortuna’s Purple Look The original Fortuna was lit up in neon colours, mostly purples, pinks and cyans. However, with the New War and the terrifying For Narmer sequence, Fortuna becomes decorated in red and gold, the colours of Narmer. And after the New War, Fortuna remains stuck in that red and gold. Fortuna used to look really cool. But now it’s dull and drab and the gold Orokin stuff just looks bland… [Continue Reading]
