What the Hell is Going On With the Saints Row Reboot?

by
The beautiful city of Santo Ileso, from the Saints Row website

I like the Saints Row series. It’s fun, chaotic and much like a giant sandbox. But the Saints Row series really went off the deep end in Saints Row 4, literally destroying the whole damn planet. Somehow, Gat Out of Hell managed to follow that game, but frankly, we’re at a dead end for the series. With the planet and most of the supporting cast gone, there’s only one last avenue we can travel down. Saints Row is getting a reboot, with a brand new game, a reboot showing the start of the Saints. However, when we finally saw the… [Continue Reading]

Where Have All The Good Research Tasks Gone?

by
Field research

Research tasks are integral to Pokemon GO. In exchange for a simple task, you are rewarded with useful items and Pokemon. At midnight, every day, every Pokestop gives a new research task when spun. However, some tasks are less useful than others. Since all the research tasks are limited to 3, you have to pick and choose somewhat carefully, or deleting some and keeping others. Not every task is equal. There are a lot of tasks available. While we do occasionally get new tasks, there’s always a collection of normal research tasks available all the time. These include basic tasks… [Continue Reading]

I Finally Figured Out Why I Do and Don’t Like Destiny 2

by
My ship in Destiny 2

I have a massive love/hate relationship with Destiny 2. It’s a game that I have drifted to and from, right from the start. Okay, sure, I never played Destiny 1. But when the beta came out on PC, aabicus and I played it, doing the one available strike on Nesus. While it was, well, alright, Destiny 2 didn’t really stick to me. In fact, many of the previous articles I have written about Destiny 2 have been somewhat negative. In the mean time, I played other games. Warframe is the big name among them, and had just the right balance… [Continue Reading]

A Review of Suicide Squad That Isn’t Really a Review

by

The other week, I went to see Suicide Squad with some family. I’ve always been a fan of super hero movies, and people were saying that this one was good. At the very least, it couldn’t have been much worse than the previous Suicide Squad, right? Well, yes, it was better. But something about Suicide Squad bothered me. Before I get to that, let’s just cover the basics. SOME SPOILERS AHEAD, YOU ARE BEING WARNED NOW. IF YOU DON’T WANT THE MOVIE TO BE SPOILED, THEN LEAVE NOW. And preferably go watch the movie. Because it was legitimately a lot… [Continue Reading]

My Weird Way of Naming Pokemon in Pokemon GO

by
Medic and his Giratina

Whenever I browse my Friends List, looking to send gifts, I always tend to note what their Pokemon Buddies are called. After all, pretty much everyone in Pokemon GO has a buddy. What’s interesting though is when you can see their companion’s names. Many people have slightly different ways of naming their Pokemon. Some people just leave their buddy unnamed, but I like seeing people walking their Hundos and Shinies. It’s pretty obvious when someone is walking a 100% IVs Pokemon too. Either they have 100% in the Pokemon’s name, or a 15/15/15. Occasionally, you’ll also see the odd 14… [Continue Reading]

Railjack Endless Missions Are Boring

by
A Railjack in the middle of a Void Storm

When it comes to Railjack Endless Missions, the whole idea is actually pretty new. Corpus Proxima missions were only added this year. However, with new nodes being added, like Corpus Survival, the Corpus Proxima areas just aren’t that fun. And, somehow, they also manage to make endless missions like Survival boring too. Your ship is just a taxi. In Railjack endless missions like Defense and Survival, your ship doesn’t matter at all. Sure, there’s probably some sort of side objective that needs doing, like blowing up a ship or something. But afterwards, you just park your ship near the Corpus… [Continue Reading]

Perennial – A Free Bite-Sized Horror Game Worth Playing

by

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

by
RAINBOW VOLT!

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

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

by

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]
