Paladins Update OB44 Disappoints Playerbase

February 24, 2017March 18, 2017 aabicus 3 Comments complaint, paladins, spuf of legend, update

Last year I reviewed Paladins: Champions of the Realm for our YouTube channel, and while my review was overall positive, I noted that many players were wary of immersing themselves in the new IP because the developers have a bad habit of ruining their older titles in the name of making a cheap buck. Well, as far as I’ve heard from my friends who took the plunge anyway, that day had sadly come. For those who don’t know anything about Paladins, it’s a hero-based shooter with gameplay very reminiscent of Overwatch. Everyone selects a hero and then both teams fight over… [Continue Reading]

Grineer VS Corpus VS Everyone Else

February 23, 2017March 18, 2017 Medic 0 Comments clones, corpus, enemies, grineer, lore, warframe

While playing Warframe, you’ll encounter a lot of these guys. The cloned, scrappy, heavily-weaponized Grineer and the shiny, money-loving, robot-abusing Corpus. There’s the Infested and the Orokin/Void as well, but they’re… not really the main threats right now. The Corpus and the Grineer are the ones already controlling huge swathes of the Origin System (i.e. our solar system), and they’re really the ones who have the most say when it comes to, well, existence. Let’s start off with the Grineer. We know way more about these guys than we do the Corpus. The Grineer are the first people who find… [Continue Reading]

Mask of the Shaman

February 21, 2017March 18, 2017 Medicinal Warlock 0 Comments cosmetics, From Dust, Team Fortress 2

First up, I just want to make it clear: I really like the Mask of the Shaman. Now that I established that fact and my TF2 cosmetic hipster cred, let’s move on. The Mask of the Shaman was added in an unnamed July 2011 patch as a promotional item for the game From Dust. Less than a week later, a patch replaced the old model with the one we know and most of us hate today. There is a very good reason this cosmetic is unpopular within the community. It’s a weird plaster slab with plastic strips sticking out… [Continue Reading]

On Sounding Like an Idiot while Explaining Things

February 20, 2017March 9, 2017 Medic 1 Comment aabicus, fun, newbie, warframe

So the other day, I helped aabicus complete Vor’s Prize, the tutorial quest of Warframe. We played for about three hours, getting aabicus to Mastery Rank 1 and unlocking Venus as a place he can visit. From what I heard, aabicus enjoyed himself, and as I thought, he very much liked the game’s mobility, accessible to all Warframes no matter what you use. But as I slowly explained everything, I realised how 1. I had never noticed some things and 2. I sounded like an idiot when I thought about what I had just said. On the not-noticing side of… [Continue Reading]

Rings (3) – A Review

February 19, 2017March 9, 2017 Medic 0 Comments film, horror, movie, review

Today, we’re going to talk about something slightly different. A movie. I actually watch quite a lot of movies but I don’t often review them because I forget to. Rings, or Rings 3 as it was marketed here in Cyprus, is an attempt to break that forgetfulness. But also because 1. I saw Rings on Valentines Day with my siblings and 2. there’s something off about the whole thing. Also the fricking subtitle “Evil Is Reborn” gives away the entire film. Nice one, marketing people. That being said, I’m going to try and avoid spoilers, but if you want to… [Continue Reading]

Fighting Level 50+ Enemies with a Level 30 Flamethrower

February 18, 2017March 9, 2017 Medic 0 Comments flamethrower, ignis, warframe

For the majority of the hours I’ve spent playing Warframe, I’ve been using the same old weapons. I swap out weapons as and when I need to, but most of the time people see me, they see a yellow Volt Prime with a yellow Ignis. I’ve talked about Volt a lot, he is essentially my avatar in the game (a lot of people identify more with warframes than operators) but I haven’t really talked about the Ignis. I’ve mentioned my floating pet and ugly animals more than my weapons. The Ignis is a flamethrower made by the Grineer. By default,… [Continue Reading]

Well, Lokmahro is. This dragon is a fucking badass and I don't even know how I managed it.

I’ve finally made a functional Dragon Follower mod

February 17, 2017March 9, 2017 Medic 2 Comments dragon, mod, Skyrim

I’ve finally done it. I’ve made a Dragon Follower mod. Sort of. Kinda. Maybe. Alright, it doesn’t crash my game or eat my save or in any way break anything else in the game. It does kinda screw with the first fight with Alduin, but only because of where I placed my follower dragon. But it works. Hours of tweaking shitty AI packages and trying to figure out Papyrus error messages, and I’ve got five dragons that follow you if you wear their necklaces. And there’s the added bonus that they’re way better than 90% of all dragon follower mods… [Continue Reading]

World on Fire

February 16, 2017March 9, 2017 Medic 0 Comments ember, warframe

When you think of a group of elemental powers, you normally think of something like Fire, Water, Earth, Air. Perhaps you think of elemental powers like Light and Shadow. Secondary elements could include things like Lightning and Ice. Warframe though, they’ve got a completely different set of elements, their primary ones composed of Cold, Heat, Toxin and Electricity, and their secondary elements being Viral, Gas, Corrosive, Magnetism, Radiation and Blast. Of course, several Warframes are based on these elements. Volt uses Electricity, Frost uses Cold, the really hard to get Saryn is based around Toxin and Ember, judging by her… [Continue Reading]

4 More Things I Miss From Saints Row 2

February 15, 2017March 9, 2017 aabicus 0 Comments criticism, Saints Row, saints row 2, saints row the third

Saints Row 2 is such a good game! I’ve said it before, most Saints Row fans have said it before, but I honestly have never played a better open-world sandbox game, and I recently got Grand Theft Auto V. The city is vibrant, the tone balances gritty gang violence with tongue-in-cheek game-y action, the characters and story are solid and the gameplay is bursting with variety and unbridled freedom. Saints Row the Third does a decent job of carrying this over, I’d give it an 80% in all, and most of the big things it missed were detailed in my last article… [Continue Reading]

Spectre’s Spectacles

February 14, 2017March 9, 2017 Medicinal Warlock 0 Comments cosmetics, little, minuscule, minute, pint-sized, puny, small, spectacles, Team Fortress 2, tiny

The Spectre’s Spectacles was added during the Manniversary Update and Sale. To be honest, I doubt people actually noticed this misc since it’s released alongside some really fun cosmetics like the Ball-Kicking Boots and the Flair!, which is one of the most enthusiastic cosmetic names I’ve seen so far because of the exclamation mark at the end. In fact, I doubt people will notice this cosmetic anyway because it’s just so damn small. I bought this myself pretty much just to complete a loadout. It’s not something most people will actively look for to wear. I can completely describe this cosmetic… [Continue Reading]
