August 27, 2018August 28, 2018 aabicus 1 Comment community, event, mixer, twitch

IMPORTANT INFO Where: mixer/Smackus_Maximus When: Wednesday at 4pm PST Hi everyone! aabicus here, and I’ve been working on an exciting new game in my final quarter of my Game Design Master’s Program! I’m on a team of six students who have been working with Mixer to develop Oceans Infinity, a crowdplay game designed to be streamed and played by many people at once.

Gaston’s current target is Oceans Bank, which… [Continue Reading]

Mann Up Mode – A Very Fun Scam

August 27, 2018August 23, 2018 Medic 0 Comments mann vs machine, scam, Team Fortress 2, trading

Mann Up mode for Mann VS Machine is a scam. There, I said it. It’s a scam. A pretty expensive one, although not as expensive a scam as keys are. Particularly for early crates with just weapons and hats in, those crates were the scammiest of scams unless you got an unusual hat. But anyway, yes, Mann Up is not good, if you want to win some fun prizes. The first problem is simple. You have to complete a tour of anywhere between 3 and 6 missions to be able to have a chance at winning a good prize, like… [Continue Reading]

Mask of the Revenant – New Mini Quest and Warframe

August 26, 2018August 25, 2018 Medic 0 Comments update, warframe

The Mask of the Revenant update came out late on the night of Friday the 26th of August, so late that I didn’t expect to see it until the following Monday. It comes with a new Warframe called Revenant and a new mini quest. Not a real quest like the Sacrifice, but not even a semi quest like Patient Zero for Mesa’s blueprint or the entirety of the Limbo Theorem and the Sands of Inaros quests. As in, the quest doesn’t appear in one’s Codex like most other quests do. But yes, Revenant is here. The 36th Warframe. His quest… [Continue Reading]

Shouting My Way Through Skyrim

August 25, 2018August 23, 2018 Medic 0 Comments dragons, playstyle, playthrough, shout, Skyrim

You know those pretty cool Dragon Shouts in Skyrim? The ones that are found on mysterious walls scattered around the province and require you to kill dragons? What if they 1. had way shorter cooldowns and 2. were your only weapons? Now, I really like Dragon Shouts and using the Thu’um. The whole idea of shouting magic at people really appeals to me. And really, it makes sense, because if magic is only tied to your hands, then having your hands tied will pretty much stop you completely. Being able to use your hands and mouth for magic seems like… [Continue Reading]

A Love-Hate Relationship with Lua

August 24, 2018August 20, 2018 Medic 0 Comments lore, warframe

Lua is a very strange thing. None of it makes sense. It basically should not exist as it is. To many people, it’s a pretty cool thing. To others, it’s horrible. For me, I’m on the fence about it. Lua in this case is referring to the planet unlocked after the Second Dream in Warframe, not to the programming language often used in gaming, for example what people use to make add-ons for Garry’s Mod. Honestly that too has a very love-hate feel about it, simply because it’s a programming language. But yeah, Lua is both cool and not cool.… [Continue Reading]

Get The Tornado – The Best Helicopter in Saints Row 3 and 4

August 23, 2018August 20, 2018 Medic 0 Comments Saints Row, saints row 3, saints row 4

The best helicopter is the Tornado. By a mile. In both Saints Row 3 and Saints Row 4. It has a minigun and an infinite number of homing missiles that you can rain down on your victims with ease. The minigun heats up over time, but the homing missiles are infinite. In comparison to the other combat helicopter, the Vulture, its barrage of homing missiles are more accurate and easier to make use of compared to the Vulture’s weaker minigun and charge-to-fire streak of missiles. It also seems tougher and more agile than the Vulture, and seems all-round more durable… [Continue Reading]

Keeping Up One’s Writing Spirits

August 22, 2018August 20, 2018 Medic 1 Comment 500 words, writing

A lot of people ask me how I manage to constantly write. I’ve written over nine hundred articles for the Daily SPUF and have nearly 900 published stories and articles on my own site Phovos.net, yet somehow I am still constantly writing. I write at minimum 500 words every single day no matter what. Even when I spent all day at my local Comic Con last year, I still managed to write 500 words and publish that very article. I’ve been doing this for a while as well, since January 2016. 500 days minimum, every day since then. Yet here… [Continue Reading]

On Summer Slam 2018 and Wrestling Entertainment

August 21, 2018August 20, 2018 Medic 0 Comments random, wrestling, WWE

Why the fuck did I stay up until 6:15am to watch a fricking Pay Per View wrestling show? Probably because my brother asked nicely, and he said this one would be fun. This one being Summer Slam 2018, with a bunch of pretty standard fights and a lot of belts and rivalries that needed sorting out. I didn’t actually pay for it, mind you. There’s a €10 a month subscription to the WWE network and it lets you watch pretty much any wrestling match from the WWE ever. Frankly, that’s a pretty good deal if you like wrestling as much… [Continue Reading]

Birds of a Feather

August 20, 2018August 18, 2018 Medicinal Warlock 0 Comments archimedes, archimedes the undying, mecha-medes, santarchimedes, Team Fortress 2

It’s been so long since I last talked about TF2 cosmetics. Archimedes is one of the most iconic Medic cosmetics out there, and it is so popular that it has four spin-off cosmetics. The closest competition it has in that regard is the Balloonicorn, which has three spin-offs: The Reindoonicorn, Balloonihoodie and the monstrosity that is the Combustible Cutie. Today, I’ll like to look at the four birds fighting for a spot on the Medic’s shoulder. Sorry Medimedes, maybe another time. Archimedes, to me, is a stellar example of Valve’s character visual design. In case you still didn’t know, Archimedes… [Continue Reading]

A Deserted AI, Trapped Forever in Space

August 19, 2018August 14, 2018 Medic 0 Comments cephalon, eaten alive, jordas, ordis, warframe

Just as I started writing this article, I realised that I hadn’t really covered the Sacrifice in any meaningful way. I did a spoiler-free review when I completed the quest and I wrote about the Warframe you get from it. I also wrote about the vile treatment of Ordis during that quest. But I didn’t write about the quest itself. It was okay, but Ordis’s treatment in that quest makes me sad. Which reminded me of another unfortunate Cephalon. And that brings me nicely to the ancient quest known as the Jordas Precept. On the scale of good and bad… [Continue Reading]
