What has Stalker been up to lately?

Loki being stalked by the Stalker

Fun fact: The Second Dream is Warframe’s first cinematic quest, and was released late in 2015. In said quest, we saw Stalker getting an upgrade and also getting a job. Stalker served the Sentient mastermind Hunhow, in the hopes that he would be able to kill the Tenno for their crimes against the Orokin. Before then, Stalker was mainly a scary character who would attack anyone with his death mark, kitted out with weapons and abilities on par with our Warframes. After the Second Dream though, Stalker kinda disappeared. Well, he definitely wasn’t gone. In fact, Stalker kept all the… [Continue Reading]

These Seasonal Catch Challenges are Lame

by
Catch 50m Pokemon for 3 Golden Razberries

One of the biggest parts of Pokemon GO is research and research challenges. These challenges challenge you to catch certain amounts of Pokemon. Some challenges are strict, requiring you to catch very specific Pokemon. Others are more open-ended and want you to catch various types of Pokemon. But the most common challenge of all is just a generic “Catch X Pokemon”. Something that, as of writing, exists two-fold in the Today tab. Because, for some reason, the Season of Heritage has two collect-a-thons currently, There’s nothing wrong with some catch challenges. Now, I normally don’t have a problem with collecting… [Continue Reading]

Wolfenstein 3D: Does it Hold Up?

by

At the start of the pandemic, I finally learned why Doom is such a historically well-regarded game. After that, I moved forward and played Quake to see where the developers went from there. Now, my friend Ryo gifted me Wolfenstein 3D for Christmas, letting me experience where it truly all began. 90s Gaming At Its Height Wolfenstein 3D is one of the earliest first-person shooters, widely considered the game that popularized the genre. Everything about the experience is visceral and unashamed; your enemies are blatant Nazis who explode into puddles of gore when they die. Swastikas and portraits of Hitler litter the… [Continue Reading]

Squeezing More Affinity, XP and Focus Out Of Our Warframes

by
Excalibur Umbra with Saturn Six Armour

To say that there’s a lot of grinding to do in Warframe is pretty accurate. After all, if your goal is to increase your Mastery Rank, you need to level up items. If you are heading towards True Master or the Legendary ranks, you need to obtain and level up pretty much every single weapon, warframe and more in the game. Thankfully, there are ways to speed up the grind a little. As I’ve mentioned before, these locations are great for leveling things up, but can get boring after a while. That being said, it’s also worth looking into optimizing… [Continue Reading]

Using Weapons as Cosmetics

by
Excalibur with Kronen Prime wings

When I first started playing Warframe, one of my biggest desires was to give my stumpy Warframe some wings. At the time, there weren’t really any options at all and I was too new to understand things like Tennogen items. But when we had no platinum and only weapons, we tried all sorts to make ourselves look like wings. Granted, most of these are melee weapons, mostly because melee weapons have more varied sheathing positions. You can do more than you’d think with all the holstering options that melee weapons have. Anyway, here’s to a small trip down memory lane,… [Continue Reading]

Not A Fan of Modern Minecraft

by
Minecraft with a resource pack, a shader and Optifine

Modern Minecraft is a pretty neat thing. It has traveled a long way, with thousands of new additions. Over time, it has become one of the most popular games on the planet, and even makes its way into education. Very few games can top just how popular Minecraft is. On top of that, Minecraft has had constant updates over the years, keeping it somewhat fresh and new. However, I find I’m not a fan of modern Minecraft. Something about it just doesn’t sit right with me. I just don’t seem to enjoy it any more. Busier Worlds Minecraft is much… [Continue Reading]

Customizing The Most Confusing Things

by
This is Ordis.

When it comes to customization, Warframe really lets you create gorgeous things. With a myriad of not just colour schemes, but also armour, capes and more, decorating a Warframe is an enjoyable experience. Not only can you decorate a ton of things, but you can decorate things on a budget, and there are plenty of free customization options too. Bow and Arrows and Dangly things You can decorate a lot of things on and around your Warframe, to the point that one can forget stuff. Bows for example can be coloured and there are several skins for them. What’s interesting… [Continue Reading]

Things that should be Ephemeras

by
Particle effect after using a True Master Blessing

Ephemeras are great. They’re basically Unusual Hats but for Warframe and not worn on the head. An Ephemera uses the colours of your armour, so you can match it to the rest of your Warframe. Some However, there are also some things that could be awesome Ephemeras, they just haven’t been added yet. Syndicate Gear Funnily enough, Syndicates did get some cosmetics recently. There are currently full armor sets for the Syndicates, Cetus and Fortuna.  However, you know what would be just as cool? Ephemeras. You don’t even really need to get too fancy with these. Maybe, as a player… [Continue Reading]

Planetside 2 Has a New Continent

by

Planetside 2 just recieved its first new map in eight years! Oshur has had a long and checked development history. Originally a collection of islands in the original Planetside, it was teased numerous times throughout the sequel’s history. A single developer, Wrel, developed the first iteration entirely in his spare time. Unfortunately, engine updates eventually made his version unusable. The newer version was built from the ground up, and boasts a unique island-based gameplay unlike the other maps we’ve seen. Platoons in Paradise And the new setting has been awesome from an infantry grunt’s perspective. The tropical aesthetic is a treat… [Continue Reading]

Lures VS Incense in Pokemon GO

by
Season of Discovery spawns in windy weather

Not everyone lives in a massive city with hundreds or even thousands of Pokestops. Some places, like where I live, have small pockets of high density Pokestops, but trail off quite quickly. Other places have pretty much nothing when it comes to Pokestops, and rely solely on one tiny spawn point, or the daily spawn of one Pokemon. Luckily though, there is a way or two that you can force Pokemon to spawn. If you have a Pokestop nearby, you can deploy a Lure module on it, and Pokemon will spawn at the Pokestop one at a time, as long… [Continue Reading]
