Some More Warframe Tips and Advice

Medic 0 Comments , , , , , , ,

I’ve written about tips for new Warframe players in the past, but that was more of a starter guide. There’s so many tips and little things out there for you to learn, that they don’t all fit in one article. So here’s another list of Warframe tips and tricks, this time covering information for newbies and older players alike. I mean, after a thousand hours of playing, there’s still more things to discover. Weapons Firstly, there are two codes available right now for free weapons. These can be redeemed in the Market in Warframe by clicking Redeem Code, or by… [Continue Reading]

A Rant about Loot Boxes

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

Loot boxes. They’re fucking everywhere. They’re in Dota 2, they’re in Destiny 2, they’re in PAYDAY 2, they’re in Team Fortress 2, they’re everywhere. They’re swarming everything. Almost every free to play game has a loot box system, and pay to play games are doing the same thing as well. Thing is, a loot box system is fine in a free to play game, assuming you can get them just by playing the game, and assuming it’s just cosmetics and maybe experience boosters and fun things like that. F2P games NEED some sort of other revenue, and often just selling… [Continue Reading]

Star Wars: The Last Jedi Review

Medic 0 Comments , ,

I actually got to see Star Wars: The Last Jedi on its premiere here where I live. At five in the afternoon on a Thursday though, the theater was half empty and there were almost no kids around. Interesting. Anyway, I saw the movie. I think it was worth €9 for a ticket. There’s no need to see it twice though. I wouldn’t say that Star Wars: The Last Jedi was mind-blowing or anything like that. It was a good action flick with some drama and better dialogue than most other Star Wars films. There’s also a LOT going on… [Continue Reading]

Medic’s Favourite Video Game Songs

Medic 0 Comments , , , , , ,

I have weird tastes in music. Although I generally dislike things like pop and jazz, I’ll happily listen to a lot of different types of rock and metal music. I am a fan of Radiohead, Queens of the Stone Age, Crowded House, Linkin Park and Disturbed all at the same time. I actually saw Radiohead live when I was 11, and I reviewed their last album here. When it comes to video game music, it’s not as bad, a lot of the things I like have common themes about them. Unfortunately, I have zero musical talent nor do I have… [Continue Reading]

Tea Talk: Representation

Medicinal Warlock 0 Comments ,

I really cannot fathom what does having representation in a game’s cast have to do with anything. The reason why I raised this up is because I have seen many people asking for more representation in games. Whether it be representation for females, LGBT, minorities, or any demographic that isn’t a straight white guy, their reason is always: “Those people should be represented in video games.” If the game’s lore implies that the cast should feature characters that aren’t straight white guys, then sure, they should be there. If not, then there is no reason for that to be the case.… [Continue Reading]

BOUND

SilverWolf 0 Comments , ,

I’d pondered getting this game when I saw it on STEAM but never got around to picking it up. But when I reviewed the free games for November on Playstation Plus, I found it shining amongst a plethora of… less good games. The game begins with your avatar, the Princess, being told by the Queen that a monster is destroying her kingdom and that you must bring an end to it. As you move to the door that’s revealed to you on the far side of the throne room, you notice something. The Princess doesn’t walk but dances. Every movement,… [Continue Reading]

Grim Fandango Remastered currently available for free on GOG.com – 13/12/17

Medic 0 Comments

There’s been a bunch of free games lately that I haven’t gotten around to announcing, but Grim Fandango Remastered finally got me out of my chair and into my other chair to make an announcement. So yeah, the remastered version, by Doublefine, is available for free. Doublefine also have done a remaster of Day of the Tentacle and created Psychonauts. According to reviews, the remaster still has a lot of bugs in it, but eh, I’m sure it’s fine. Plus, free games, right? Get Grim Fandango Remastered here.

On Learning To Cook

Medic 0 Comments ,

As far as I’m concerned, everyone should know how to cook for themselves. You don’t need to be able to perfectly gut a fish and grill it to perfection, but knowing the basics, whether something is cooked through, properly defrosting food, safely preparing dishes, doing your best not to burn whatever it is you’re cooking, these are skills you need to look after yourself. You can’t just live off ready meals until the day you die. Alright, I’m not saying that you should avoid ready food completely. A pack of oven chips isn’t a problem, making your own chips is… [Continue Reading]

Half-Life: C.A.G.E.D.

SilverWolf 0 Comments , ,

A free Half-Life mod with a single player campaign by an ex-Valve developer? Why, yes please. Though it should really be called “C.A.G.E.D. – A Half-Life Mod” considering it has nothing to do with the world of Half-Life, it just shares the engine and models of the original. Some point through the game I noticed this and felt a tinge of disappointment but I wanted to reach the end and judge it accordingly on its own merit. The basic premise is that you’re locked up for some unspecified crime and you prefer the view from the outside of the bars,… [Continue Reading]

Yooka-Laylee

SilverWolf 0 Comments ,

I’d been meaning to play this game for a long time but with multiplayer and co-op grabbing my attention so thoroughly it got left by the wayside for a very long time. But then- It continued to get left by the wayside for even longer because the prior statement didn’t change. But THEN, a massive thunderstorm came along, very cross with my inability to focus on diminishing my single-player backlog and zapped my internet provider so hard they exploded! Although I can’t confirm the validity of this story, I do remember my internet being gone for about a month so… [Continue Reading]
