My 5 Favorite Weapons in Call Of Cthulhu

aabicus 2 Comments , , , , , , , ,

As a fan of historical firearms, my biggest complaint with the Call of Cthulhu system was its relatively-limited firearm roster. I understand why (it’s not a combat simulator, your characters should be avoiding firefights at all costs), but that doesn’t mean I want to give my investigator some generic pistol or rifle. Your character’s weapon-of-choice is a hugely defining characteristic, often tying into their personality, backstory, and team role. But there are only a handful of common options for every weapon type in the core rulebook, and they all differ only in damage, magazine size, range…mathy stuff like that. So… [Continue Reading]

Destiny 2’s Shotguns Make Me Sad

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

I don’t know why, but shotgun weapons in many video games are all over the damn place. There are a ton of tropes surrounding video game shotguns, and most of them are pretty bad. This annoys me because I want to like shotguns, but I simply can’t. And Destiny 2’s shotguns basically fill a ton of tropes. Before I even start though, I don’t play much PvP in Destiny 2, so PvP players can safely ignore this article. After all, there are far fewer enemies in Crucible, Iron Banner and Trials of Osiris, and everyone is as mobile and as… [Continue Reading]

A First Glance at Sea Of Thieves

Medic 1 Comment , , ,

Sea of Thieves is a neat pirate game by game developers Rare, where you can sail the seas, loot and plunder fortresses, kill skeletons and occasionally fight with other pirates for epic loot. It’s a massive game with an unclaimed sea and all sorts of mystery. Sea of Thieves is also a game that I’ve wanted to try for a while, and a recent 50% off discount allowed me to try it. Now, most of the time, I’d be diving into this game straight away, on my own. But I’m a very lucky person, and I have some damn good… [Continue Reading]

Leveling A Titan

Medic 0 Comments , ,

My Warlock character in Destiny 2 is actually very old. I’m pretty sure I had it before Destiny 2 became free-to-play. She is a hideous, female Exo with yellow head parts sticking out, and always keeps her helmet on. This character has been through a lot. She blundered her way through Forsaken. Then she shivered around Beyond Light. Now she is having second thoughts about The Traveler. Might not be as much as some Guardians, but it’s been a long journey. However, there are a few things that my Warlock always missed out on. Not so much in historical events,… [Continue Reading]

On Re-Learning To Ride A Bike

Medic 0 Comments ,

For my 30th birthday (heck, that feels weird to write), I was gifted a bicycle. It’s a cute little bike with a basket on the front and a little thing on the back where I can attach more basket-y things. Simply put, it’s a really lovely bike and I am very thankful for it. However, there’s a small problem here. Not with the bicycle. That’s fine. I’m gonna print some stickers out and stick them on. No, the problem is with me. I haven’t ridden a bike in like 18 years. Yeah, that’s… kinda a long time. The last time… [Continue Reading]

A Very Large GPS Drift

Medic 1 Comment , , ,

Since I’ve got a newer, more modern phone, I don’t get that much GPS drift any more. Sometimes, with all location-based games and apps, GPS signals can get blocked. After all, GPS is tied to a massive system of satellites which communicate and triangulate together. Most of the time, this GPS drift is very short and always snaps back after a few moments. However, one day, I went on a really nice trip, according to my GPS. The GPS was slow at first. It was just doing what it normally does, wandering to and from the Pokestop by my house.… [Continue Reading]

Not Bothering with the Legendary Ranks anymore…

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

I think, finally, after all these years, I think I can stop chasing new mastery. It’s been a long, long ride. A multi-year long ride, to get to the prestigious rank of True Master. And then we went beyond that, entering the Legendary Ranks of 1 and, soon, 2. There are enough items in Warframe to level up that we have hit Mastery Rank 32. But is it still worth chasing? We now know what’s after True Master. From what we’ve seen so far, it seems quite simple. Both Legendary 1 and Legendary 2 ranks require doing the same things… [Continue Reading]

Random Thoughts on the Witch Queen Campaign

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

For my birthday, my brother bought me a copy of Witch Queen, the new expansion for Destiny 2. I had been holding off buying it for myself for quite a long time, due to the fact that I don’t really play much Destiny 2 in general. However, since it had been gifted to me, brother and I decided to play through the main Witch Queen campaign, a whole new story to be unraveled. In all honesty though, I’m not too sure about it all. I can’t tell if I liked it or not. Felt short Maybe it’s because I wasn’t… [Continue Reading]

On Writing On What’s On My Mind

Medic 0 Comments ,

Today is not a particularlly productive day for me. Especially for writing, which I have been struggling with for a while. I used to be able to jot something article-like with ease. These days though, I do find keeping my writing up quite difficult. The question is, how do I get my mojo back? Originally, I would just write whatever comes to mind. A Team Fortress 2 class. A cosmetic. Perhaps a Warframe weapon or three. Or perhaps some little tiny thing no one cares about or hardly never noticed. My writing isn’t always about games. I also write about… [Continue Reading]

On Energy Drinks

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

I like the odd energy drink. My favourite energy drink is a brand imported from various places in Europe. Even here in little Cyprus, we actually have a bunch of different brands on the shelves, which rotate in the shops. There are plenty of better and healthier drinks available, but for a treat, I like to get an energy drink. A different source of caffeine Funnily enough, I don’t drink coffee. Coffee is the national drink that most people drink. Not just normal coffee either. Coffee shops are where Cypriots regularly congregate, and they’ll have everything from fancy lattes to… [Continue Reading]
