On Luck and Catching

September 14, 2023September 2, 2023 Medic 0 Comments luck, pokemon go, random

Just now, I saw a wild Hariyama. It was just sitting there, minding its own business, being a Pokemon and chilling out. Because I have a Hariyama I want to power up, I decided I was going to catch this wild Hariyama. Now, Hariyama is a big Pokemon. It’s big and wide. That means that it’s easy to get Excellent Throws on it. This Hariyama though refused to catch. I threw multiple Excellent Throws at this Hariyama, but it did not want to catch. It wasn’t even a particularly high CP either, so this was quite frustration. Until, that was,… [Continue Reading]

Theories on Warframe: Whispers In The Walls

September 13, 2023September 1, 2023 Medic 0 Comments entrati, the man in the wall, theory, warframe, whispers in the walls

Warframe’s next major quest-like update, Whispers in the Walls, was teased as the first part of Tennolive 2023, and there’s a lot of mystery to it. We saw only a glimpse of what’s yet to come, and what we have seen is actually kinda terrifying. In an eldritch horror sort of way. So let’s theorize about what this stuff will be like. The very first thing I want to mention is the opening cinematic, with Albrecht Entrati getting into that machine, before his assistant whacks it with a hammer. We actually see Loid waking up from inside an almost identical… [Continue Reading]

Getting Back Into Team Fortress 2, and the Power of Competent Team Mates

September 12, 2023August 31, 2023 Medic 1 Comment friends, heavy, medic, Team Fortress 2

The other day, I found myself playing Team Fortress 2. We had planned to play Sea of Thieves, but we ran into a bunch of hackers, which spoiled our mood. So we played TF2 instead, because why not? Now, I haven’t played Team Fortress 2 in a looooong time, so I expected to be a bit rusty. And I was. But that’s fine, because I had players I could actually rely on. The previous times I’d played Team Fortress 2, at least in recent memory, I had mostly been solo. I played a little Mann VS Machine a while back… [Continue Reading]

Steel Path is Boring

September 11, 2023August 30, 2023 Medic 0 Comments steel path, warframe

Currently, in Warframe, I am actually missing a few nodes. I haven’t been able to play Arbitrations, because there are nodes I haven’t unlocked yet. Well, there’s four nodes, three on the Zariman and one on Lua. But I also haven’t done these nodes on the Steel Path either. Why? Because I find Steel Path boring. The Steel Path, put simply, is the normal star chart except harder. Everything is 100 levels higher and has 50% more armour and shields. The missions though are the exact same missions you get on the normal star chart. The only real difference is… [Continue Reading]

The Heirloom Collection is Straight Up Bad

September 10, 2023August 29, 2023 Medic 0 Comments cost, frost, heirloom collection, mag, prime access, warframe

During Tennocon, we were shown two new skins, one for Frost and one for Mag. These skins were really nice and came with a new type of accessory, a halo. However, we soon found out that these skins were cash only, and were filled with other items to pad out the price. The community wasn’t too happy. Now, we’ve had expensive items before. Prime Access, instant access to new Primed Warframes and weapons, is incredibly expensive. And if you wanted the Primed Accessories to go with your new Warframes, you’d have to buy the full Prime Access, which could easily… [Continue Reading]

The Final Piece of Pirate Fashion

September 9, 2023August 29, 2023 Medic 0 Comments fashion, pirates, sea of thieves

When I first started playing Sea of Thieves, I didn’t have much when it came to clothing. I also had basically no gold, so there wasn’t much I could buy anyway. However, after a few hours of playing, I did unlock some clothing from the season pass though, and I put together what I thought was a pretty simple outfit. Apparently, this outfit was really cool, according to other people, and I quite liked it as well, since it matched together quite nicely. At the next outpost, I bought a couple of pairs of boots and a hat to go… [Continue Reading]

On Twitch Drops

September 8, 2023August 27, 2023 Medic 0 Comments sea of thieves, streaming, twitch

While I’m not really a fan of watching streamers on Twitch, I do like Twitch Drops. The concept is stupidly simple. All you have to do is make people watch a stream for a certain amount of time and they get a nice, shiny reward. The usefulness of the reward is always a bit uncertain, but it’s free, so people will take it. There are two games I play on the regular that do Twitch Drops, Sea of Thieves and Warframe. But while they both have Twitch Drops, they do so in quite different ways. Sea of Thieves Twitch Drops… [Continue Reading]

Thoughts on Soulframe from Tennocon 2023

September 7, 2023August 27, 2023 Medic 0 Comments soulframe

Tennocon has been and gone, but we got to see a lot of stuff. One of the cooler things was the intro into Tennolive, the big content reveal, and it started off with Soulframe, the other game Digital Extremes is making. After a long wait, people didn’t seem that happy to have a massive Soulframe trailer before their Warframe stuff, but it was interesting to see. Soulframe looks like a sort of Elden-ring-y sort of thing, with combat similar to that of the Drifter in Duviri. You’re mostly restricted to melee, although it does look like you can get a… [Continue Reading]

Back on the Zariman Ten Zero

September 6, 2023August 26, 2023 Medic 0 Comments void, warframe, zariman

While grinding out Nightwave, I’ve had to go to the Zariman and do some missions there. Every so often there’s a Nightwave task to do “x Void Y Missions”, and none of them are particularly fun. But off I go, off to the Zariman in order to get 4500 standing for Nora. Honestly, I don’t like any of the Zariman stuff. I find it all annoying. Lore-wise, the Zariman is huge. This is the ship that got stuck in the Void, where all the adults became crazy monsters and the kids had to kill their own families. It’s where the… [Continue Reading]

The Second Legend of Monkey Island Tall Tale

September 5, 2023September 3, 2023 Medic 0 Comments monkey island, sea of thieves, tall tale

On September 1st (or rather August 31st for my friends), the second Tall Tale of Monkey Island, the Quest for Guybrush, came out. It’s a tall tale set on Melee Island, the same place as the first Tall Tale. This Tall Tale had us looking for a way to save Guybrush Threepwood from the strange day dream that he is trapped in. As we sail through the sea of the damned, we get a message from Lechuck, who says that he’s basically already won and wants to take over the Sea of Thieves. But we have a plan to stop… [Continue Reading]
