How to Turn Star Wars Battlefront II (2005) into a Single-Player Stealth Game

by

STAR WARS™: Battlefront Classic Collection just came out on Steam! I’ve mentioned in several places that the original Battlefront II was my very first gaming love, long before I’d ever played Team Fortress 2 or even created a Steam account. I never actually owned it, I played it (and its predecessor) exclusively on my friend’s Xbox, but our neighborhood gang racked up hundreds of hours playing them and they are incredible. Seriously, these two games are 500% worth playing, even if you just go buy the originals, they work perfectly and have tons of cool mods to boot. The gameplay is addicting and… [Continue Reading]

Primal Kyogre Raid Day

by
Medic rolls his eyes at a massive Kyogre

Honestly, I love all these raid days. An event with free raid passes and a cool Pokemon. Mostly. Primal Kyogre though is one hell of a raid boss, and definitely something you need a good team with. This Pokemon hits like a truck, even if you resist water moves, doubly so if it’s raining and Kyogre is weather-boosted. While you CAN do a Primal Kyogre raid with 5 accounts, you need 5 GOOD accounts with level 35+ Pokemon and a TON of revives, especially if Kyogre has Blizzard as its charge move. Blizzard is by far the worst move because… [Continue Reading]

Litten Community Day

by
Shiny Litten

I’m gonna be blunt, I don’t like Incineroar. I think it looks smug and stupid and it was CLEARLY designed to be yet another fire/fighting type starter until Gamefreak realized they couldn’t add a fourth fire/fighting starter after Combusken, Infernape and Emboar. In the main games, it’s overly popular and a pain in the ass, and its shiny kinda doesn’t look as good as that of its pre-evolutions. Either way, Litten finally got its shiny release and Community Day in Pokemon GO. It was fine. And it was nice to see the x3 catch XP come back. Getting 7000 XP… [Continue Reading]

Oh God the Zenistar Sucks So Bad Now

by
An awesome Volt and an awesome Zenistar

For a long time, the Zenistar was my melee weapon of choice. As a newbie, it carried me through many a Defense Mission whenever I wasn’t using someone like Frost or Limbo. Although, frankly, as soon as Gara and Khora came out, Defense Missions became a lot easier. However, in Melee 2.9/3.0, all melee weapons were reworked and rebalanced, and, well, the Zenistar kinda died. It became shit. Simply put, the duration of the flaming disc was changed so it matched your combo count. The old Zenistar, the flaming disc would always last 45 seconds, which is a reasonable amount… [Continue Reading]

On Having Written Over 2 Million Words

by
Volt and the Grimoire

Turns out, I’ve written over 2 million words here on the Daily SPUF. That’s a lot of words. Like, I can barely comprehend a million words, let alone two million. Really, a million of anything is a huge number. One million seconds is equal to about 11 and a half days, a week and a half nearly. And that’s just seconds, a very small unit of measurement. On top of that, the Daily SPUF itself recently passed the 3 million word mark, meaning I’ve written a third of this blog’s content, and that discrepancy is only going to get bigger… [Continue Reading]

Sevagoth’s Lullaby VS Sleeping In The Cold Below

by
Sevagoth's Shadow points to the thing he's missing.

Call of the Tempestarii was a weird update, because it was both kinda big and kinda small. While yes, it did come with Corpus Railjack missions and a new Warframe, it also game with a really good but also really short quest. The update also shipped with probably one of the best sea shanties to ever bless our ears, the track known as Sleeping In The Cold Below. Call of the Tempestarii was well-received, but everyone mostly only remembers it for the awesome music that came with it. Okay, sure, Sevagoth was cool but people only ever build him so… [Continue Reading]

A Zorua-Themed Event Would Be Hilarious

by
A Zorua disguised as a shiny Kyogre

Zorua took a while to come to Pokemon GO, but when it finally arrived, it came with a pretty nice gimmick. Rather than just appearing in the wild, Zorua spawns disguised as your buddy. It does this to the point that, if you are walking a shiny Pokemon, Zorua will appear in the wild as a shiny. And when you tap on it, if it’s a Best Buddy, it’ll also spawn with the Best Buddy badge. This gimmick can make Zorua really easy to spot if you’re walking a Legendary Pokemon, but if you’re walking something kinda normal, like an… [Continue Reading]

Adventures On… Not the Stormcloud?

by
A Gold Hoarder's new ring

Normally, when we play Sea of Thieves, we sail on Stormcloud, one of Bacxaber’s three ships. Occasionally we’ll sail on my Little Stormcloud, a brig, or if Fox is around, we’ll sail on one of his five billion different ships, all of which are unique. But lately, we’ve been taking out some of my other ships. The other day, we got to sail on my sloop, The Daily SPUF, but recently, we played with one of Bacxaber’s old friends, a guy called Lego, who hadn’t played Sea of Thieves for over a year, and even then, they were still very… [Continue Reading]

This Game Is Pissing Me Off Lately

by
The Mythical Pokemon Diancie

Ugh, it seems like Lady Luck is not on my side lately. I’ve been playing a LOT of Pokemon GO as of late, but if you looked at what I have caught recently, you’d have thought I’d been hardly playing at all. Considering how many events we’ve had recently, doubly so when we had the Sinnoh Tour at the end of February, you’d think I’d have a ton of shinies, a bunch of cool Legendaries, things like that. But no. I’ve got fuck all. In fact, I played both days of the Sinnoh Tour and came away with pretty much… [Continue Reading]

A Distinct Lack of Yellow in Sea of Thieves

by
Me and my new hat

Anyone who’s seen my Warframe articles knows that I normally use bright yellow on all my characters. Yellow is my favourite colour, it’s the colour of one of my main Phoviverse protagonists and I like to make sure that it’s everywhere. If I could, I would have made a yellow Bohrok, I do have a yellow head plate, but Bohrok limbs don’t come in yellow. In Sea of Thieves, I kinda wanted to continue my tradition of wearing yellow, but, well, I have like one option total. And it’s not even that yellow. I realized that there was no yellow… [Continue Reading]
