On Owning Pets

by
My cat, Ringo

I’ve never really been a pet person. When I was little, I never had a pet and the only pet I knew of was Tinker, the old, derpy dog my nan used to look after. Tinker was cute and fluffy but I was little and he seemed huge and scary and I didn’t always see much of him. I actually didn’t really get a pet until I was an adult, and even then, they were someone else’s pets. I just happened to share a house with them. That being said, we’ve actually had a couple of blog posts here on… [Continue Reading]

Ivara Skathi Skin and Other Metallic Models

by
The Golden Archer

Alongside the Kuva Lich 2020 Vision update (the update didn’t really have a proper name!), we got a few new weapons in the form of Kuva weapons and variants, and we also got a deluxe skin for Ivara. It’s not that uncommon to have a deluxe skin come out not long after a primed Warframe, since generally they take longer to do – while a Prime Warframe is the same base frame with a new helmet and some pretty dangly bits (and I assume the weapons take longer because they are new models), a deluxe skin is a completely fresh… [Continue Reading]

So Many Costumed Pokemon

by
Pokemon with party hats

February 2020 is absolutely jam-packed with events for some reason, with everything from a Pokemon Day on 27th February to the return of Armoured Mewtwo, Tornadus coming to raids and the entire month starting with a new research Pokemon with a heart on its nose and a research day for Minccino. In fact, there’s a lot of content in general, but at the same time… there are a lot of Pokemon in costumes to deal with. Actually, there are a lot of costumed Pokemon coming out lately… On the surface, this doesn’t sound like a great thing. We’re only slowly… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays Payday 2 Again

by
Payday 2 with the bois

A long time ago, I played Payday 2. I didn’t particularly enjoy it because I was thrown in the deep end and had no idea what I was doing or anything like that. I spent most of my time crouched in corners, shooting wildly at anything that came too close, while constantly dying and running out of ammo. At the time, I had no idea how the game worked, what I had to do or what was going on. Frankly, my first experience put me right off of playing Payday 2 because I felt so damn useless. I did have… [Continue Reading]

Chilling Out Closing Void Fissues

by
What's the point of a cage of death when most enemies can just walk straight through it, completely ignoring all damage thanks to a single drone?

Now that I have pretty much everything in Warframe mastered and used and out of the way, I often find myself wondering what to do, where to spend my time and what I need to do next. I mean, I’ve got a Lich that’s been waiting for me to fight it for the last three weeks, but I don’t really want to do that. The only things I have left to master are K-Drives and Archwing gear and those aren’t going to happen until the next time I get an affinity booster from my daily login rewards. So what do… [Continue Reading]

Poor Little Sinnoh Event

by
Generation 4 Starters

There’s currently an event in Pokemon Go right now, a three day event featuring Pokemon from the Sinnoh region, i.e. generation 4. But it’s a very small event, somewhat slipped in over a weekend, in the middle of a month that’s absolutely packed with a huge number of rather random events, everything from votes for a Community Day, a World Pokemon Day event and random mystery events as well, not to mention your standard Valentines Day event because of course there has to be a Valentines Day event. So this Sinnoh event is a thing and it’s… kinda small and… [Continue Reading]

Fun Warframe Augments

by
Vauban and an ORBITAL STRIKE

Warframe augments are a funny bunch. Some Warframe augments are rather useless or are too niche to be able to use them most of the time, especially since we have limited space for mods. Some augments allow you to tweak the way you play a Warframe. Some augment mods are insanely strong and make a Warframe ten times better. Some augments are so strong that you wonder why they’re not a part of the Warframe’s default kit in the first place, especially on weaker and less popular frames. But some augments are simply… fun. Here are some of the augments… [Continue Reading]

Minecraft, Sponges and Things I Think I Remember But Are Completely Wrong

by
A strange place in a Minecraft world...

I remember, when I was new to Minecraft, sponges were a thing. A sponge was a yellow and black cheese-looking block that would suck up any and all water in a 5x5x5 block radius, impressively having a “Moses Parts the Sea” feel to them. Sponges spawned in weird places, like up the side of mountains, and could be mined by hand or any tool. I used sponges to build a tunnel through a small sea to an underwater base in a multiplayer server, where I kept most of my stuff. Except half of that sentence isn’t true. Sponges only spawned… [Continue Reading]

Things To Do In Warframe When You Don’t Have Anything To Do

by
"Bitch, you owe me!" - Titania

Warframe is a funny game in which it’s never really sure where the end-point of gameplay is. Are you an end-game player when you’ve done all the quests? Are you done with the game once you’ve unlocked all the nodes on the star chart? Are things like Eidolon hunts and Profit-Taker deaths when you’re done with Warframe? What about mastery rank and getting every item in the game? Who knows? But despite all this, there are times where you find yourself without much to to, whether it’s in a lull between larger updates or you’ve just completed the MR28 test… [Continue Reading]

Smoothing Down the Kuva Lich Grind

by
Kuva Lich - Kill or Spare

February brings with it a lot of things, like everything immediately being Valentines Day related and slathered in red. Warframe is kinda doing the same thing with a small Kuva Lich update, because those Liches sure do love being awful. Or perhaps not, as there’s a bunch of changes to Kuva Liches that make them far less awful to grind for. Yep, we got a Kuva Lich 1.5 update, and the changes are all round pretty damn good. To the point that I completely glossed over the fact that Ivara Deluxe is now available. The first and most important change… [Continue Reading]
