A Volt Deluxe Skin! Yay!

by
Volt Sentient Skin

It finally happened! After all these years! My beloved Volt has received a deluxe skin that actually looks like a deluxe skin! Alongside the New War update, we got two new deluxe skins, for Volt and Mesa. The theme for them both is Sentient in design, and they represent how the Warframes would look like, if Sentients had made them. Kinda like failed experiments on the path to creating Caliban, the actually Sentient Warframe. For both Warframes, this is actually a second deluxe skin for them. They both already have deluxe skins, but the first deluxe skins didn’t sit well… [Continue Reading]

Wonder Box, The Fun Feature Pokemon GO Lacks

by
A Shiny Persian watches a Magikarp

When I installed Pokemon Home on my phone, I realized that something was missing. Not from Pokemon Home, but from Pokemon GO. You see, Pokemon Home isn’t really a game. It’s more of a storage area for Pokemon, like a second PC. Unlike a PC though, you can bring a lot more into your Pokemon Home account, and it has some backwards compatibility. You can even send Pokemon from Pokemon GO to Pokemon Home, but you can’t send it back to Pokemon GO later. Something lacking… Anyway, I quickly found what I felt Pokemon GO lacked, and that was trading.… [Continue Reading]

Please Can We Have a Master Ball?

by
Pokeball Problem

While Pokemon GO does include many features from the main games, there’s an odd thing that we’ve never had before. While having the same fighting system is one thing this game lacks, I want to talk about something much smaller: the Master Ball. For the handful of people who have never played a Pokemon game, a Master Ball will catch any Pokemon with a 100% guarantee, and 0% chance of breaking out. In the main games, you generally only ever get one Master Ball for your entire region. It’s such an amazing and useful Pokeball that you really need to… [Continue Reading]

What to Prioritize for December’s Community Day Event

by
Community Day Suggestions

Every December in Pokemon GO, the monthly Community Day is different. Rather than having nothing but one Pokemon spawning, December Community Days recap what we had during the years. For December, we get an entire year’s worth of Community Day Pokemon, allowing you to grab shinies and moves you may have missed. However, this year, there is a LOT of stuff going on in Pokemon GO. Thanks to the Eevee-lutions, there are way more limited community day moves, compared to previous years. And with so much going on, it’s easy to lose track. Here are some things you should prioritize… [Continue Reading]

Initial Thoughts about the New War

by
A Grineer with a Corinth Prime

On the 15th of September, at about 7:30pm local time, I got a flurry of messages over Discord. The New War, Warframe’s new and biggest quest, was finally here. All we had to do was download it. So I closed Warframe and immediately opened the launcher to start downloading. Surprisingly, for a 5GB update, it went really quickly. But the Launcher itself had changed, playing the same video over and over. An Operator and Natah facing off against each other. Finally, Warframe finished downloading and I could jump into the New War… This article is spoiler-free. However, I heavily recommend… [Continue Reading]

Warframe on the Switch

by
Volt on the Plains of Eidolon, on the Nintendo Switch

The Nintendo Switch has a handful of free to play games. It’s mostly really popular games like Fortnite and Rocket League. But also on that list is a long-term favourite of mine. Yes, I have been playing Warframe on my new Switch. Because, well, I have to, don’t I? I adore Warframe as a game, and I wanted to experience it on a new games console. Turns out, I have no idea how to play a shooter game on a console… Yeah, uh, small problem here. Not only is the Switch is my first ever handheld, but, well, Warframe is… [Continue Reading]

Fruity Mincemeat-like Chutney-Jam

by
A Sweet, Fruity Mixture

About five years ago, the family cooked up some home-made mincemeat. The process took hours, slowly chopping or cooking the many, many ingredients. That mincemeat ended up being amazing. And since we sealed the jars shut, the mincemeat actually lasted for a couple of years. However, we never really made it again, because it was time-consuming. Luckily, I have a way to speed things up. It’s not mincemeat, not the proper stuff. Quick-ish Mincemeat-like Chutney-jam This stuff looks like mincemeat and tastes sweet like mincemeat does. If you have a food processor or blender, it makes everything way, way easier.… [Continue Reading]

Hoopa in Pokemon GO and Hope for Transformations

by
Hoopa in its two forms

November was a pretty interesting month in Pokemon GO. While we’ve had various themed seasons so far, November ended with a pretty cool bit of special research. Rather than rewarding you with a Legendary or Mythical at the end, we got Hoopa early on. This was then followed by a secondary quest, in which we unlocked something awesome. The ability to change Hoopa’s form, from its normal version to its unbound version. Hoopa Unbound, within Reach The ability to change a Pokemon’s form in Pokemon GO is actually a pretty new feature. We first saw it with Furfrou, a weird… [Continue Reading]
