We’re Doomed – A Panic-Causing Board Game

As much as I love board games, they do tend to go on for a while. That’s not always a bad thing, but sometimes you want to play a nice, quick, short board game. Something that is fun but cleans up nicely when it’s done. To put it another way, the gang and I take forever to finish any board game. Thankfully, I bought my brother a gift for Christmas, and it’s just what we were looking for. We’re Doomed! We’re Doomed is a simple table top game that can support up to 10 players. As the name suggests, it’s… [Continue Reading]

3 More Tips Every L4D2 Player Should Know

A while back I wrote an article about three basic tips every Left 4 Dead 2 player should know. Each of them are easy to understand yet massively increase anyone’s survivability. The tips in this followup article are less mandatory, but still good to know. Either they’re more situational, or there are nuances that make them a little tougher to explain effectively. Nevertheless, if you found the first one helpful, this sequel’s for you! Tip #1: Stand on map objects when you get the chance. Imagine a common situation: you’re traveling down the street, when a horde of zombies suddenly… [Continue Reading]

There is more than one Tenno, right?

Something odd about Warframe is that we have no real idea how many Tenno are in-game. The number can fluctuate between thousands, hundreds and even possibly the tens, depending on how you look at things. Time travel, alternate universes and paradoxes could mean that there’s only one single Tenno who actually exists. Everyone else is an illusion. Please be warned, we have hints of spoilers in this article. Please read this article first. That being said, there definitely has to be more than one Tenno. After all, the Lotus has referred to us both in the singular and the plural.… [Continue Reading]

Why on Earth would anyone want to come to my Island?

As I play through Animal Crossing – New Horizons, I’ve begun to notice something odd. Everyone keeps on telling me the same thing, over and over. The residents who appeared on my island quickly settled down and told me how much they love island life. And as I got my first visitor from a campsite, I end up hearing the same thing. They love this island so much that they want to live with us. But WHY would anyone want to live in my island? Frankly, I don’t get it. My island is very much unfinished or even that sophisticated.… [Continue Reading]

Hello 2022!

It’s a new year! And new years generally come with desires of change, a need to improve. After all, we’re another year older, another year smarter. But we also have a bit of a blank canvas to start doing stuff on. While a new year won’t magically fix everything, it counts for a great head-start, a springboard into another year. New year’s resolutions. Of course, with a new year, we get new resolutions as well. While most people will probably fail them, I feel like a new year’s resolution is a step in the right direction. No one is perfect,… [Continue Reading]

Good Riddance, 2021!

Today is New Year’s Eve, and I’m feeling rather nostalgic. We had a great Christmas and everything went very well. Since it’s the end of the year, I feel like it’s time for… well, not a recap, but a ramble through 2021. A year that somehow breezed past. Seriously, this year felt short. Things happened but everything just feels… mangled up, I guess? A transformative year. For me personally, this year has been all over the damn place. Spent a good chunk of the year feeling depressed and anxious, but now I am actually trying to fix stuff. The angry… [Continue Reading]

On Not Understanding People

The other day, I went for my booster shot for the Coronavirus vaccine. I had timed the trip to coincide with a doctor’s appointment, to avoid needing to go to the doctors twice. However, as soon as I got there, I realized I may have made a mistake. There was a massive queue to get into the outpatients area. A mixture of people with appointments, people getting their third doses in the walk-in vaccination area. Some, like myself, had non-Covid reasons to be waiting to go inside. What made everything worse though was people trying to get in, not queuing… [Continue Reading]

A Weapon of the New War

I love bows. When I played Skyrim, before even really trying swords, I had an eye open for any bows lying around. Whenever I played Destiny 2, I looked for combat bows, because I found them fun. And in Warframe, there are many, many bows that I like. Even aabicus has a way of making use of bows! In my silly little head, using a bow and arrows is the best way to stab someone who is far away. Or they are the best way to blow up someone who is far away. Simply put, bows are fun. And, when… [Continue Reading]

A Lotus of Many Colours

This article contains spoilers from the New War quest. I really recommend playing the quest by yourself, before reading any further. If you are happy to (or want to) see spoilers, then come on right in! SPOILERS START HERE The image just above is an old image. It’s from a very short quest in Warframe, where Ballas takes the Lotus away, leaving the player with just her helmet. The time stamp on that image reads from 2017. So we are looking at a very long gap from then until now. During that time, the Lotus was simulated by Ordis, so… [Continue Reading]
