Thoughts on a Heavy Update, from a Medic’s Point of View

Medic 0 Comments , ,

Editor’s note: This article was written way before Valve decided to subtly change some text, indicating that the summer update was not a real update, just another cosmetic one. So feel free to take all of this with a pinch of salt since it’s no longer going to happen. Heavy is never going to get an actual update or anything. The fact that there’s a potential update this summer has really got me back into think about Team Fortress 2. While I haven’t opened the game in a month, I’ve been browsing the Steam Workshop and doing a lot of… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays Pokemon Violet – Part 10

Medic 0 Comments , ,

So I’m now here in Medali, working my way towards the Normal Badge. It’s taken me a while to actually get here, mostly because I have been avoiding Nemona. The last time I saw her, she appeared in the Medali gym and had just finished it. She wanted to fight, but had the wrong Pokemon, so Nemoma dashed off and left me alone. Before I could do anything else though, I need to do the gym challenge. What’s weird is that this gym challenge is food-based, kinda like the Water Gym. But this time, I have to find a bunch… [Continue Reading]

Free Space For Railjacks

Medic 0 Comments , ,

When Fortuna was announced at Tennocon years ago, a big part of the teaser was seeing a Railjack come in, Mag jumping on and us all seeing a transition straight to a Railjack mission, fighting a Kuva Lich. It all ended in a teaser for the Duviri Paradox. Now, while we’re all still waiting for the Duviri Paradox, we did eventually get most of what was teased. Fortuna became a cool open world area, we have Railjack mission and can fight Liches on, and the Duviri Paradox is on its way soon. We got most of what was promised, even… [Continue Reading]

Pokemon Violet and Stalking

Medic 0 Comments ,

Everyone in Pokemon Violet is stalking me. I’m not normally a paranoid person, at least I am not any more, but something is massively bothering me in the new Pokemon games. Since day 1, I have been some sort of prodigy, some super powerful trainer, despite mostly fluking my way through with just a cat made of grass and a dog with horns and a devil tail. Honestly, it’s mostly the weed cat. But yeah, everyone seems to know who I am and everyone seems to know where I am too. At first, I just thought it was my rival,… [Continue Reading]

On Silly New Weapon Skins

Medic 0 Comments , ,

Weapon skins are kinda weird in Warframe. They often come in several forms. There are weapon skins that only change the texture of the weapon, similar to warpaints in Team Fortress 2. But there are also complete weapon skins that change the whole model into something else. A lot of weapon skins, mainly melee ones, are sold via Tennogen and can only be bought with real money. However there are plenty of other skins that can be bought for Platinum. Many deluxe Warframe skins come in bundles that contain unique weapon skins as well. But for this Nightwave episode (yet… [Continue Reading]

Halo 2 Broke My Heart

Glacier 0 Comments , ,

Creating art can be the sum of all suffering. Priority Shift Welcome to February, 2004. Game developer Bungie has ten months to ship their most anticipated sequel of all time, Halo 2. The game is in shambles. Microsoft, Bungie’s publisher, expects the game in November. Staff morale is in the gutter, and some employees have stopped going home. To make the deadline, Bungie wasn’t just cutting, they were cleaving. “Rapidly approaching launch… The team had no engine, environments that couldn’t possibly work in any engine, features that were only half-implemented, a sprawling story that would eventually require two full-sized games… [Continue Reading]

A Racing Board Game

Medic 0 Comments , ,

When it comes to board games, there’s always a few things that seem like they don’t translate well into such a media. One of those things is racing. I mean, how does a racing game even work in board game form? Well, it turns out, there is a way to make a racing board game. Today, I want to talk about the game Heat: Pedal to the Metal. Heat is a racing board game, where the first person to complete three laps wins the game. You can play with up to six players and there are four tracks to choose… [Continue Reading]

These New Warframe Updates are Pretty Neat

Medic 0 Comments , ,

The other day, I somehow spent well over four hours playing Warframe and its latest update, Citrine’s Last Wish. I was playing the new Mirror Defense mode, farming for both the new Warframe and her weapons, as well as a currency of gems, to buy some miscellaneous bits and pieces from Otak’s new shop. This update, Citrine’s Last Wish, is somewhat simple. It’s not a huge update, just a little update, mostly to keep us occupied while we wait for the Duriviri Paradox. But the update was also plenty good. We got a new Warframe, a little bit of fluffy… [Continue Reading]

I Miss Fortuna 69

Medic 0 Comments , ,

In Warframe, we have relays and areas where Tenno can congregate and talk to each other. These hubs are entirely peaceful, with no guns allowed, and they generally house a bunch of NPCs which have things for us to buy. The first hub area you go to is either Larunda on Mercury, or Cetus on Earth, depending on which way you go. Then there’s places like the Orcus relay, the Zariman or Tenno Dojos which require a bit more work to access. Either way, these places are one of the few peaceful places in Warframe, and you’ll always see a… [Continue Reading]

Hoenn Tour Day 2

Medic 0 Comments , ,

Well, it turns out there wasn’t much difference between days one and two. That’s okay. In the Johto and Kanto events, a lot more was going on. Day one would be habitats and catching, while day 2 would be more of a story/adventure sort of thing. Kanto Tour had the shadow legendaries for example. But for the Hoenn tour, things on day 2 are mostly the same as day one. Frankly, I like this. Having to do collection challenges and research can be quite tricky if you don’t have much time on your hands. After all, not everyone can play… [Continue Reading]
