Hello everyone! As mentioned previously, I’m now the marketer for Major League Magic, and we’ve got some awesome new stuff to showcase from the past few weeks! Our primary goal has been implementing new dynamic environmental meshes, so that you can really see your spells leaving their impact on the arena. So far it’s gone great!

Retina Burn – Galaga

May 11, 2018May 10, 2018 TimC 0 Comments arcade, galaga, namco

In an industry saturated by Shoot ‘Em Ups, why does Namco’s Galaga stand the test of time? Galaga is a a game that needs no introduction. Hot on the heels of Pac-Man and Galaxian, Namco was an arcade juggernaut: Retching quarters from the pockets of innocent children around the globe. While Americans got their first taste of the legendary Shoot ‘Em Up in 1981, my first experience with the game wasn’t until the new millennium. Almost twenty years ago, a greasy youth begged his parents for pocket change at the local Pizza-Parlor. “They’ve got video games here, dad!” My… [Continue Reading]

Oberon's a very nice paladin sort of character. A protector and a smiter.

Good Guy Oberon – A Bit of Everything

May 10, 2018May 8, 2018 Medic 0 Comments healer, oberon, warframe

Oberon is a weird frame. A lovely frame, a powerful frame, but a weird frame. Often described as a paladin and a protector of nature, Oberon can both heal and hurt, giving you plenty of ways to use and abuse his power. His normal self appears as a deer-like being, while Oberon Prime takes on features that are closer to that of a goat. Let’s start with obtaining Oberon. Oberon parts have a chance of dropping from Eximus enemies. You know, the ones with the weird mesh energy effects on them that have a range of weird and annoying abilities… [Continue Reading]

Another Fucking Article About Net Neutrality – The People WANT a Free Internet, Dammit!

May 9, 2018May 7, 2018 Medic 0 Comments net neutrality

Even though the FCC decided to gut net neutrality and completely ignore what the people want, despite the many, many protests people have done, the US Senate is holding a vote to block the repeal of net neutrality and keep things as they are, a place where Internet Service Providers can’t slow down traffic as they please. This Senate repeal has been building up for ages as people have been trying to convince a handful of senators for a while, to get those 51 votes to pass. And some time in May, this vote is going to actually happen. We… [Continue Reading]

Avengers – Infinity War – Movie Review

May 8, 2018May 1, 2018 Medic 0 Comments avengers, film, infinity war, movie, movie review

Well, that was an awesome two and a half hours! Didn’t actually feel like two and a half hours at all. I suppose right from the start that’s a glowing review if you sit through a two and a half hour long movie and hardly even notice. Funnily enough, apart from one prick at the beginning of the movie (shouting at teenagers to be quiet and causing the rest of us, kids included, to miss the first 30 seconds of dialogue because he’s an entitled prick – literally all they said was “ooh the movie’s starting”), the theater was weirdly… [Continue Reading]

Destiny 2 – The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

May 7, 2018May 1, 2018 Spectre 0 Comments analysis, comparison, criticism, destiny 2, rant

Years after the TF2 blog stopped being constantly updated, I decided to personally consider “The Daily SPUF” as my new official TF2 blog. However, it wasn’t long until the lack of content in TF2 made The Daily SPUF writers to place other games in the spotlight. I personally wouldn’t have gotten myself addicted to Warframe otherwise. Almost half a year ago when I first started writing this article, I was extremely excited about Destiny 2 coming to PC, even though I didn’t have a clue on how exactly should I approach new players. My initial aim was to introduce and… [Continue Reading]

IT’S OVER 1900! Celebrating 1900 articles and 900 Medic articles – Giveaway!

May 6, 2018May 6, 2018 Medic 0 Comments 1900, 900, fun, giveaway, medic, Team Fortress 2, warframe

I said I wouldn’t do milestone articles and stuff but I like the number 900 and the number 1900 has the number 900 in it as well, so double bubble. The 2000th article is still a way away, and it’s unlikely that the articles I write will coincide with the big 2K. Also I just kinda wanted to do a giveaway. But first off, let’s spend a moment thinking just how awesome we are, having published over 1900 articles on the Daily SPUF, one a day since our inception, and the fact that Missy Medic here, the person writing this… [Continue Reading]

Thick

Sirens blared as the three Tenno charged through the Corpus base. They were looking for their target, a teleporting Corpus Tech who had knowledge on a super weapon the Corpus were looking to build for the Grineer. The Corpus Tech in question was teleporting between rooms, but so far the Tenno had kept up. Suddenly, a lockdown was initiated. While the first two Tenno managed to slide under the doors into the same room as the Tech, the third was locked out. “You alright back there, Excal?” Volt shouted as he drew his polearm. “I’ll be fine…” Excalibur shouted back.… [Continue Reading]

An Idea for a Sergeant Rework

May 4, 2018April 30, 2018 Medic 0 Comments idea, sergeant, suggestion, warframe

I have two favourite bosses in Warframe. Tyl Regor is an amazing boss with an amazing fight in a cool area, and he’s got this buttery smooth voice that taunts you, making the long, tiring farm for Equinox not nearly as awful as it should be. Tyl Regor’s boss fight is enjoyable and has good mechanics. My other favourite boss, the Sergeant? Uh, not so much. You see, the Sergeant is a relic of the past. Back when Warframe was young, most bosses were just bigger versions of normal enemies, in a different colour. Vay Hek was originally just a… [Continue Reading]
