Perennial – A Free Bite-Sized Horror Game Worth Playing

September 7, 2021October 14, 2021 aabicus 0 Comments free, horror, perennial, recommendation, short, survival

I was originally going to include Perennial in my previous article about short, free, low-poly horror games, but I quickly found I had a lot more to say about this one. Perennial is a free game on itch.io you could go download right now. It was made as part of the Haunted PS1 2018 game jam by a single developer within a month. The player character has returned to their childhood park to spend a nostalgic night under the stars. However, when darkness falls they find a mysterious creature stalking them through the familiar woods. The gameplay consists of navigating the… [Continue Reading]

Building for Volt’s Electric Shield

September 6, 2021August 28, 2021 Medic 0 Comments build, volt, volt prime, warframe

Long-time readers may have noticed that I have a… thing for Volt. My bright yellow electric space ninja has a lot of mileage on it. In Warframe, Volt and Volt Prime make up about 40% of total usage. The next closest Warframes after Volt Prime (30%) and Volt (10%) are Khora and Ivara, with about 15% between them. During this time, I have written a LOT about both Volt and his builds. I have both a general-usage build and a 1-forma build for Sanctuary Onslaught. Both of these builds surround playing with specific parts of Volt’s kit. The general usage… [Continue Reading]

Denial

September 5, 2021August 28, 2021 Medicinal Warlock 0 Comments Genshin Impact

Yoimiya is the newest limited 5-star banner character to be added into Genshin Impact at the point of writing. And she has problems. A lot of problems. So many problems in fact that there is a whole list of them compiled in a single Reddit post with videos demonstrating said problems. To summarize the list, these are her main issues (if you are interested, please read the actual Reddit post, /u/PartyConfetti gives a really thorough breakdown on Yoimiya’s issues, and I cannot do that post justice here): Genshin’s auto-targetting for bow users have always been unreliable, but Yoimiya is the… [Continue Reading]

Back 4 Blood Beta Review

September 4, 2021August 28, 2021 aabicus 0 Comments back 4 blood, beta, early review, first impressions, first thoughts, Left 4 Dead 2, open beta, review, spuf of legend, zombies

I was lucky enough to get to play the Back 4 Blood beta thanks to my friend AngelOfWeir gifting me a pass! I will admit going in that I had some serious reservations about what I’d seen. After over 1800 hours in the Left 4 Dead, Payday, and Killing Floor franchises, I was seeing some massive issues in the early streams. So I was very happy to play the beta and see that all of the issues I was concerned about got fixed. Here are some reasons I’m definitely gonna buy the game when it comes out: 1. The zombies… [Continue Reading]

A Medic Appreciation Post

September 3, 2021August 27, 2021 Medic 0 Comments healing, medic, overwatch, Team Fortress 2

It’s been ages since I last played Team Fortress 2. Lately, I haven’t had the appetite to play a PvP shooter game. Between the randomness, the crits and the bots, Team Fortress 2 is kinda unfriendly these days. But there’s still always something that just amazes me about Team Fortress 2, even if I no longer play it. Today, we are going to appreciate the Medic from Team Fortress 2. A character that I literally named myself after. One of the best healers, ever. Years back, a League of Legends developer complained that making health numbers go up was boring.… [Continue Reading]

Walking a Buddy for Fun

September 2, 2021August 26, 2021 Medic 0 Comments buddy, buddy system, fun, pokemon go

Every time I start getting close to reaching Best Buddies, I go through the same old predicament. Once my current Pokemon buddy reaches Best Buddies, what do I walk in its place? There are so many Pokemon to choose from, and some will resonate more than others. Now, I’ve written in the past about what Pokemon you should buddy with. But that little guide really doesn’t help to narrow down the list that much. After all, there are so many Pokemon that we get attached to, ones that are useful and ones that are cool. But I feel like I’m… [Continue Reading]

I Can’t Wait for Crossplay in Warframe

September 1, 2021August 25, 2021 Medic 0 Comments crossplay, mobile, tennocon 2021, warframe

I play a lot of Warframe. According to Steam, I have over 4000 hours in Warframe, way ahead of any other game I play. The only two games that get anywhere close to Warframe are Team Fortress 2 at 1700 hours, and an unknown about of time in Minecraft. However, I’ve only ever played Warframe on PC, since I don’t own any consoles myself. So, when Digital Extremes announced Crossplay for Warframe, I was actually very surprised. We’ve all wanted Crossplay for years. At the time of writing, we actually don’t know that much about what Warframe’s Crossplay will entail.… [Continue Reading]

Now for Something Completely Different

On Getting Back Into Drawing

August 31, 2021August 24, 2021 Medic 0 Comments art, ramble

A long time ago, I used to draw. In fact, drawing was probably my biggest hobby, especially back in school. It’s something you can do pretty damn easily, since all you need is paper and a drawing implement. However, when I started doing my 500 words a day, my desire to draw faded away. Later depression made me give up on drawing completely, and what little art I did was mostly unseen. These days though, I am slowly getting back into drawing. While I don’t draw nearly as much as I write, it has been quite a change. Pleasant, almost.… [Continue Reading]

5 Short, Free, Low-Poly Horror Games That Are Worth Playing

August 30, 2021August 30, 2021 aabicus 0 Comments dark, graphics, horror, Horror Games, indie games, recommendation, short, spooky

Do you like short, free, low-poly horror games? I don’t blame you for not immediately responding with an enthusistic “Yes!” because it’s a pretty niche category, one I’d never even played until a few days ago. But in hindsight I should have realized it would absolutely be a winning genre for me. I’ve already devoted a whole week to articles on dark spooky forests, and this is something of a sequel because most of these games would have qualified. Every game in this list is beatable in a single sitting and (in my opinion) a short but worthwhile experience. All… [Continue Reading]

5 Oddly Related Video Game Songs I fall to sleep to

I’ve been pretty tired lately. Life has been hectic and I’ve had a lot on my mind. Even writing articles has been a bit of a problem. Now, after five years of writing daily, I’m actually facing writers block. But in the mean time, I’ve been looking for music to listen to. Mostly for me to fall asleep. And now that I have a nice pair of headphones I can wear in bed, I can finally get some better sleep. Funnily enough though, as I was making a Spotify playlist, I realised that, well, some of the songs I listen… [Continue Reading]
