Writing About Writers’ Block

January 26, 2019January 23, 2019 Medic 0 Comments advice, writers block, writing

It’s probably a testament to writers’ block just how long this article has sat here, all empty and quiet. There are other article drafts that have sat around for longer, many of which are leftovers from the golden years of SPUF (rest in peace) written and started by people who never came back and will never be finished. Some of those articles may end up getting adopted one day, but as far as I’m concerned, they’re just part of the baggage around here now. They were still there when we hit 2000 articles and now we’re straying further and further… [Continue Reading]

Overwatch’s Moira

January 25, 2019January 23, 2019 aabicus 0 Comments moira, overwatch

While I still consider myself a Lucio main, I’ve found myself playing a lot of Moira for the last year or so. It’s been a long time since I’ve written an article dedicated to an Overwatch hero, but I think the time is ripe to give my thoughts on the most versatile healer in Overwatch. Support mains are spoiled rotten in Overwatch. Blizzard has given us so many exciting heroes, all with their own methods for keeping the team healed, but none of them have quite so many different ways to heal as Moira. She can tag nearby teammates with healing spray, tag faraway… [Continue Reading]

A Complete Lack of Mesa Prime

January 24, 2019January 23, 2019 Medic 0 Comments mesa, trading, warframe

You know what? I was going to do one of my weird ability breakdowns and warframe review articles because there’s quite a few frames that I’ve missed, the most obvious one being Mesa. Mesa is a hugely popular gunslinger-based Warframe who very recently got a Prime upgrade. Mesa Prime looks amazing and comes with a bunch of very nice weapons, the Akjagara Prime and the Redeemer Prime, all coated in that lovely Orokin gold. I had planned to write a nice little article about how cool both Mesa and Mesa Prime were, then show off some nice fashionframe for Mesa… [Continue Reading]

Minecraft and the Power of the F3 Key

January 23, 2019January 21, 2019 Medic 0 Comments debug menu, map, minecraft, tips, tricks

Fun fact: If you press the F3 key while playing Minecraft, you get to see the Minecraft Debug Overlay or Menu. You might need to press the FN key as well if you’re on the laptop, buy by pressing the mighty F3 key, you are given this all-powerful, horrifically messy bunch of numbers and letters that cover the top of the screen. Well, it may seem like a horrible mess, but this overlay gives you critical information that you can take advantage of. The most important information on the Debug Menu are your exact coordinates. You can see exactly where… [Continue Reading]

The Old Wheel Map

January 22, 2019January 20, 2019 Medic 0 Comments Bug, gang beasts, map, wheel

One of the unique things about the Daily SPUF is our ability to write very detailed articles on very small, specific things. Sometimes multiple articles, if the very small, specific things become big enough. Today, I’m going to do that again, not for a Team Fortress 2 thing or a Warframe thing, but for a map in Gang Beasts. The Wheel map has been around for a long time in Gang Beasts. It is a Ferris Wheel on a platform in the middle of an ocean. The wheel has 8 compartments and constantly spins round in one direction. The platform… [Continue Reading]

Shiny Inequality

January 21, 2019January 19, 2019 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, shiny

It’s funny how much we care about shinies in Pokemon. They’re just Pokemon with different colours on them. But they’re rare. Insanely rare. Like, a one in a thousand chance. Possibly more. It’s possible that you’ll never see a shiny in any of the handheld console games. The original games didn’t even have them anyway since they were monochrome. But when it comes to shinies, there are some very odd patterns in play and some Pokemon get a far better makeover than others. There are some patterns when it comes to shinies. For example, blue Pokemon very often end up… [Continue Reading]

The Feebas Community Research Three Hour Event Thing

January 20, 2019January 19, 2019 Medic 0 Comments event, pokemon, pokemon go, shiny

Not every Pokemon is suitable for a community day. Many Pokemon either aren’t popular enough, don’t have enough evolution stages or simply have mediocre shiny forms. Other Pokemon evolve in too awkward a way to be able to give them a special move and flood areas with them for three hours. One of those Pokemon is Feebas, and Feebas was the recipient of a miniature community event. Unlike other events, Feebas didn’t have a higher chance of spawning in the wild. For three hours on January 19th, from noon until 3pm depending on your time zone, all research tasks from… [Continue Reading]

New War Predictions and Desires

January 19, 2019January 16, 2019 Medic 0 Comments ideas, lore, new war, predictions, quest, warframe

The New War is the next part of the Warframe storyline, a quest that features the Sentient Natah rather than the Lotus. Although frankly, considering that the only info we have is that Natah went back to her mum and her mum wants her to destroy everything, all coming from a very small trailer released at the end of Tennocon 2018, the New War could consist of just about anything. So, since we know nothing of the New War, here’s some predictions and desires as to what the New War will contain. Let’s start with predictions, because we can certainly… [Continue Reading]

Looking Back at Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

January 18, 2019January 16, 2019 Medic 0 Comments guardians of the galaxy, marvel, movies, review

Some people might be wondering whether this article has been published late or not. No, not really. In fact, it’s an article I’ve considered writing for a while. But it’s only been recently that I’ve been able to re-watch Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. And honestly? It’s really, really dropped in regards to as how good a movie I think it is. The thing is, I don’t have a prior article. I swore I wrote a review for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (which I’m shortening to GOTG2 from now on) but it turns out I wrote one… [Continue Reading]

Research Breakthroughs in Pokemon Go

January 17, 2019January 16, 2019 Medic 0 Comments legendary pokemon, pokemon, pokemon go

Back in early 2018, Niantic created Research Breakthroughs, a reward for doing field research tasks and doing a new one every day. Do 7 days worth of field research and you’re rewarded with an encounter with a mysterious Pokemon, which changed every month. First off you could get Articuno, then Zapdos, then Moltres, then the legendary doggos Raikou, Entei and Suicine, followed by the rather odd choice of Shedinja. If you timed your field research well enough, you could obtain four or even five of each Pokemon during the months in which they were available. In December 2018, Niantic announced… [Continue Reading]
