The Token Standing System of the Entrati

Medic 0 Comments , , , , ,

The Entrati family are the syndicate system of the Heart of Deimos. They fulfill the same role as Solaris United and Cetus. Basically, all your fishing, all your floofs, all your items come from them. And, of course, there’s a family figure there to give you guidance and bounties. However, while the Entrati do use the syndicate system of leveling up, they do so somewhat differently. Everything is done with fancy tokens. When you do a bounty for Mother, you don’t get straight up standing. You get a bunch of Mother Tokens. You can then trade the Mother Tokens in… [Continue Reading]

On Raiding and Pillaging Other People’s Bases

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

A Minecraft server I play on is announcing that they’re wiping everything and having a fresh start. The catch is that you can transfer your items to the new server. There will also be two new, fresh servers, where everyone will start from scratch. But basically, we have a limited amount of time to strip everything down and move it to the ‘legacy’ server, before the six existing mini-servers all get nuked. The server owners have set up various processes and a timeline, so people know what they can do. Money and items can be ported over, no problem, albeit… [Continue Reading]

Left 4 Dead 2 Announces First New Campaign in over 8 Years

aabicus 0 Comments , , , , ,

Well, this is certainly a surprise! Left 4 Dead 2 is getting a new campaign! The announcement came on Valve’s long-dead Left 4 Dead blog, and the full text is rather cryptic: It has been many years since the infection first hit. Radio silence, no sign of life, nothing but lingering hopes… CEDA is not going to save us. But there is hope! A few brave souls have continued the fight against all odds, and soon we can all benefit from their resilience. “The Last Stand” is an update for Left 4 Dead 2, created by the community, for the… [Continue Reading]

Warframe’s New Introduction Quest

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

Alongside the massive update that is the Heart of Deimos, we actually got a new introductory quest. The brand new player will now experience a completely different start to Warframe. We get a cool cinematic and everything! Let’s talk about it, and whether it’s any good. The introduction quest, Awakening, is pretty and interesting, and is split into two parts: a long cinematic cut scene and the tutorial bit. The cinematic is very shiny and unrepresentative. I mean, it’s definitely a cool cinematic, mostly split between the little girl and Excalibur. It features a girl running away from Grineer who… [Continue Reading]

An Odd Interaction Between TF2 Weapon Sheens and Decorations

aabicus 0 Comments , , , , , ,

I noticed something unusual (pardon the pun) after I added a violet killstreak sheen to my Totally Boned Scotsman’s Skullcutter. And before we continue, I shamelessly admit this is one of the most minor observations I’ve probably ever made in TF2. It’s not quite on the level of 500 characters on the wind you can only notice during a single taunt, but it would fit comfortably into that list of nitpick articles in the final paragraph. Anyway, after a couple different times visiting my Demoman loadout page, I realized the Skullcutter’s inventory icon was occasionally showcasing the purple sheen. It’d… [Continue Reading]

Mega Pokemon have arrived in Pokemon GO and they’re basically inaccessible!

Medic 0 Comments , , , , ,

Yay! Mega Evolutions have arrived! For Beedrill and the three Kanto Starters! Amazing! And three of them require huge amounts of raids to obtain! Woo! If you can’t tell already, I’m being somewhat sarcastic. While I had sat on my ass and hoped that maybe the data miners were wrong, well, they weren’t. Mega Evolutions aren’t some cool thing to unlock with your best buddy. It’s a grind that involves doing lots of raids. Raid, raid, raid. So, to get your Mega Evolution of choice, you need to do Mega Evolution Raids for the Pokemon you want to Mega Evolve.… [Continue Reading]

The Cambion Drift – Tripping Over Red, Brown, Red and More Red

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

The Cambion Drift is the third big open space in Warframe. We started off with a Grineer-plagued brown Plains of Eidolon. Then we moved on to the Corpus-filled, white-glare Orb Vallis. And now we have the Cambion Drift, a hellish landscape flooded with Infested and lots and lots of red. Seriously, it’s so red. While the Orb Vallis is mostly large amounts of white and grey with the odd speckling of blue, the Cambion Drift looks like an open wound. I’m not saying it’s bad, I’m saying it’s all very red. The only not-red things are all brown. There’s only… [Continue Reading]

Enjoying building in the Nether Update

Medicinal Warlock 0 Comments ,

The Nether is now much better with the latest update. Before, the Nether is just a dreary burning hellscape. Now, with all the new Nether biomes and mobs, it’s actually fun to explore and roam around. Out of all the new biomes, my favourite is the basalt delta. I’m not sure why, but I really like the atmosphere there. The biggest part for me, however, are the new blocks available for building. New wood, new stones, and even new lights! I enjoy building a lot, so I’ll be talking about those now. Shroomlights are the newest light blocks to be… [Continue Reading]

A Quick Ramble About the Heart of Deimos Intro Quest

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

It’s kinda sad, really. I’m so damn exhausted for real life that I’m too tired to actually play video games. Despite the fact that the massive 3GB Heart of Deimos update just landed. Amazingly though, on my crappy internet, the download somehow went by quite quickly, and I got to at the very least play the intro quest. This quest is… not what I expected. I honestly didn’t think that a good 60% of the quest would be listening to family squabbles. By the way, this is going to be a SPOILER HEAVY ARTICLE. If you don’t want to be… [Continue Reading]

Wait, a Brief Period Without Event Spawns?

Medic 0 Comments

The three Ultra Weeks have just finished in Pokemon Go. Aside from some small make-up mini-events, we have no event right now. The calm before the next storm. But this is actually… kinda weird. We’ve had events for so long that we haven’t really had any time with no weird events going on. There’s no special eggs, no special raids, nothing. It’s… kinda peaceful. We get to see more Pokemon, kinda. When you have an event, spawns are pretty limited. You see whatever is in the event and not much else. The Enigma Event had tons of Staryu spawning, as… [Continue Reading]
