Upcoming Overwatch and Payday Halloween events!

by

Today was a big day for gaming announcements! Over on the Payday subreddit, players were able to discover leaks suggesting that new weapons, DLCs, heisters, maps, and difficulties were coming to Payday 2. Yes, that’s right, new difficulties. ‘Mayhem’ will be between Overkill and Deathwish, and ‘One Down’ is going to be the new hardest difficulty in the game.  While its name suggests that players will only be allotted one incapacitation before going into custody, we don’t know much more than that. Hopefully it comes with some balance tweaks beyond just that. And today the official announcement finally went live: Safehouse… [Continue Reading]

My First Sortie

by
An inaccurate representation of the hordes I had to fight... run away from...

So, after much tension, Davjo dragged me, kicking and screaming, through my first Sortie in Warframe… “OH GOD MEDIC STOP WITH THE DAMN WARFRAME ARTICLES I AM SO SICK OF WARFRAME ARTICLES!” Oh come on, don’t be like that. There’s over 1000 articles on this blog. Most of them are about Team Fortress 2, but nothing interesting has happened as of late. I’d do PAYDAY articles but aabicus has that covered. And no one likes it when I do Skyrim or Minecraft articles. Warframe is my game of the month and I want to talk about it. Anyway, a Sortie… [Continue Reading]

Things I don’t like about Warframe

by
Yes, you read that right, 72 hours.

For the sake of equality, after the Things I don’t like about Overwatch article, I’ve decided to do a few more of these. It is unfair for me to bitch about Overwatch, when other games have faults. I was going to do a Team Fortress one first but I need to refresh myself. Until I do, let’s go over things I dislike in Warframe. Crafting Times As well as space ninjas, Warframe is known for its need to farm. Warfarm after all needs you to get components to build everything. Pretty much everything important requires a handful of rare resources… [Continue Reading]

5 Basic Tips Every Payday the Heist Player Should Know

by

Payday the Heist remains among my top 3 favorite games of all time, even if I almost never see players in my lobbies with double-digit playtimes. Overkill puts the game on sale constantly, which I’m grateful for because it ensures there are always a few lobbies open for me to jump into, but there are some very important little details that far too many players overlook. If you’re considering playing Payday the Heist, following these four steps will instantly graduate you from a beginning player to an intermediate player who’s far more of a benefit to this team. (Note: This guide… [Continue Reading]

MeeMs Thoughts on Space Jump Story Simulator

by

(FTL) I LOVE this game. And when I say love, I got the game on the 20th: And, by the 23rd, this is what the steam page looked like: Now I don’t know about you, but I might have a problem… and too much free time. And for those of you that don’t see why, I’m averaging 6.3Hrs/day! That’s more than a quarter of a day, every day, for three days! For those of you who don’t know, the basic premise of the game is that you’re a captain seeing your ship from a top down perspective, you have the ability to… [Continue Reading]

Payday the Heist: Bugs that Make a Difference

by

Every game comes with bugs, and the Payday franchise has some pretty memorable ones. While most of the funniest are in the sequel, the really useful ones survive in the first game because the devs don’t update it anymore, meaning that a number of strats have entered the high-level playbook despite being slightly different from what the developers intended. 1. Reviving people through walls. This is the most famous bug, and even low-level players should know this one. You can interact with objectives, equipment, and players through almost anything, the only requirement is that you’re in range. This lets you take cover in… [Continue Reading]

Fucking Anniversary Update…

by

There I was, minding my own business, trying to write articles and close things down, when Windows popped up and told me that it wanted to do an update. It didn’t specify what update, it just said it wanted to update. I thought, fine, that’s okay, it’s probably just a small update. I was about to turn off my laptop anyway, so it could do its stupid update and I could go to bed. 11pm, trying to get some rest before getting up early tomorrow, and I had an annoying as fuck bright blue screen, sitting there, staring at me… [Continue Reading]

The Second Dream

by
Fuck you, Lua.

So I recently completed a certain quest in Warframe. The Second Dream. It’s an unusual quest and the latest in the Warframe story, which is insane to say the least. Then again, it’s to be expected. This is a game with space ninjas and guns and stuff. A note, this article contains spoilers on the Second Dream quest, so proceed with caution. Quests in Warframe are kinda weird though, they’re almost like optional side missions. Unlike the normal day to day activity, you just get quests by, well, uh, doing stuff. Apart from the first quest, which is partially a… [Continue Reading]

On Demoman in General

by
Things aren't as perky as they used to be...

Some articles sit empty for months or even years, never getting finished. Most of my articles don’t, but this one about Demomen has been ignored. When I wrote the title, I’d played TF2 and played Demoman and my mind was full of thoughts that quickly vanished. Some of those thoughts later appeared as a rant about Demoknights but normal Demomen just sat here. So let’s talk about Demomen! Except… I don’t know what to say. But I do know what I used to say. Demoman was the power house of the game. As much as Medic, if not more than… [Continue Reading]
