We need more dual primary weapons.

by
Day of the Dead Syandana, Grakata and Twin Grakata and Kronen skins.

Do you know what the best primary weapon in Warframe is? Well, unlike Warframes, there’s no definitive answer, because everyone likes different things. One of my favourite weapons is the Grakata, a crusty, pointy rifle used by the Grineer on occasion. I could also call the Kuva Bramma as one of my favourites. Or perhaps the Supra Vandal, especially when you give it fire rate and not much else. Other people may answer all sorts of stuff, like the Soma Prime or the Opticor. With so many weapons to choose from, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. However, there is always… [Continue Reading]

Holding Off Evolving Starters

by
The Three Alolan Starter Pokemon

At the start of March, we got a nice Pokemon GO update. The next season was revealed to be the season of Alola. And with it, a bunch of Alolan Pokemon got their debuts in Pokemon GO. The Pokemon in question? Mostly the starter Pokemon from the Alola region, as well as your basic common bird and rat Pokemon. However, while it is tempting to get the new Pokedex entries and evolve the starters straight away, it might be worth waiting for a bit. Why? Because starter Pokemon are always strong candidates for Community Days. Starter Pokemon are always a… [Continue Reading]

When Writers’ Block Attacks

by
My cat, Ringo

Today, I am going to write about Writers’ Block. Because, somewhat ironically, I have a massive problem with Writers’ Block currently. Turns out, writing 500 words a day every day can only go on for so long. I was bound to get burnt out eventually. However, I’m still trying and I haven’t given up yet. So how am I coping? Eh, I’ve felt better. Got no energy. Normally, in a day, I have time to write something. Generally my writing is done in the evening, after work. But so far, 2022 has been keeping me quite busy, to the point… [Continue Reading]

Warframe Weapons that I Completely Forgot About but Used to Use all the Time

by
It's quite hard to capture how awesome the Sonicor is in screenshots

The other day, I was looking back through some old Warframe screenshots when I made a sudden realization. My weapons these days are all powerful ones, like the Kuva Bramma or the Arca Plasmor. But I wasn’t always kitted up. There was a lot of time spent leveling up weapons then moving onto the next one. However, even with my many years of grinding the newest shiny, there were weapons that I loved which, unfortunately, ended up getting forgotten about. Here’s to a trip down memory lane for some of my old favourites. Rakta Cernos I’ve always liked bows, they’re… [Continue Reading]

On Making The Worst Warframe Specter Ever

by
Saryn and a Nidus Specter

A while back, I looked at Warframe Specters. These DIY clones can offer fantastic support, and are cheap to make and use. Well, the basic ones are cheap to use, but cosmic specters are a bit too pricey. That being said, at higher levels, there’s not much difference between the different specter types anyway. Either way, there are some great specters to choose from, like Wisp and Nidus. However, a thought occurred to me lately. What if I tried to make the WORST specter possible? How bad could it be? Limbo It’s no competition here. The Limbo Specter does basically… [Continue Reading]

More Legendary Pokemon in the Wild Seems Like a Cool Idea

by
Raikou and Zapdos - electric legendaries

One of the more interesting things about the Johto tour was the appearance of Legendary Pokemon in the wild. Mimicking the behavior from the original games, we had the Legendary Beasts spawning in the wild, with a 99% chance to flee. However, that got me thinking. Why don’t we have wild Legendary Pokemon? Not all Legendaries, of course. We can’t have Mewtwos spawning everywhere now, can we? I mean, we could totally have Mewtwo spawning everywhere, but I don’t think the developers or the shareholders would appreciate that. However, other, somewhat lesser Legendary Pokemon could be interesting. After all, there… [Continue Reading]

A Like and Dislike for Mega Raids in Pokemon GO

by
Mega Salamence, Mega Beedrill, Mega Swampert and Mega Venasaur all battle a Mega Charizard

It seems that most people have somewhat accepted Mega Pokemon. Now that there are easier ways to earn Mega Candy, and the Megas stay around for 8 hours, it’s all just about acceptable. Yet still, there’s something about Mega Raids that irks me. They’re just not quite right. No one really wants to do them If you’re unlucky enough to miss a debut of a mega Pokemon, then you probably won’t find many people hosting them. At least, that’s the problem I’ve been having with Mega Raids. I couldn’t get people to join in Manectric raids nor Ampharos. But even… [Continue Reading]

Zero IV Pokemon VS 100% IV Pokemon

by
Zero VS Hero Ferrothorn

The other day, I found something cool. While on my little walk, hoping to hatch a couple of eggs. As I wandered around, I spotted a Ferroseed and decided on a whim to catch it. I’m not normally a fan of the steel/grass type, but it looks cool, and I could always do with more candy. Turns out though, this Ferroseed was special. Amazingly, it had 0 IVs what so ever. After that, I then checked my Pokemon storage, remembering that I also have a 100% Ferroseed somewhere. So I decided to evolve both of these Ferroseeds into Ferrothorns, and,… [Continue Reading]

A Collection of Evil Pokemon

by
A Purified Metagross and a Shadow Metagross duke it out in the city

Sometimes it’s nice to make your own fun, do your own things. While playing Pokemon GO, I tend to clear out backpack space all the time, and get rid of Pokemon with low stats and low CPs. However, a while back, my brother started collecting Pokemon that had 69 CP. He’s built  a big collection, and he also suggested that I do something similar. The number I chose? 666. Because why not. I had considered doing either 42 or 404, but 666 just looks more appealing to me. They’re not actually evil. Well, as far as I’m aware, they’re not… [Continue Reading]

Probably the Worst Timed Research Ever

by
Round Pokemon

Just before the Johto tour event, Pokemon GO had a “restocking” event where we could save up Pokeballs for the upcoming tour. Called the Poké Ball Prep Rally, it is designed to give you plenty of Pokeballs. The bonuses of this event were that your buddy would bring extra Pokeballs as gifts and some ball-shaped Pokemon were spawning. Oh, and this event also included probably the worst Timed Research I’ve ever seen. 100% NOT WORTH IT! The timed research for this prep rally were as follows: Spin Pokestops, send gifts and open research tasks. Do those three once, then do… [Continue Reading]
