Fishing for Fortunes

by
Electrocuting fish is a perfectly legitimate way to fish.

I like fishing mini-games. They are almost always rather quiet and peaceful. It’s a chance to stop, take a break and, well, catch some fish. And by catching fish, we can slowly accumulate fortunes, much more money than you would think. My original fishing experiences come from Minecraft. Originally, fishing was genuinely slow and bad. You could only catch fish or random junk. That was only ever on vanilla Minecraft though. Many survival multiplayer servers however had plugins or mods that would make things more interesting. One of the earlier servers I played on, the more you used a tool… [Continue Reading]

A Quiet Day In the Sea of Thieves

by
A Quiet Day at Sea

You know what? Not every day is a day of bloodshed. Sometimes, you can just lay back, eat some fruit then run into a hidden vault to grab as much gold as possible. Turns out there’s more than just unlocking cosmetics and murdering people for their loot. Well, I say that, but really, part of the reason I play Sea of Thieves is to murder people and be a pirate, but you get what I mean. After all, we all need gold. And where do we get gold? Pretty much everywhere. So we raised a flag with the Gold Hoarders… [Continue Reading]

Fishing in the Sea of Thieves

Ships at the Fort of Fortune

I’ve always enjoyed fishing in video games. While I’ve never properly gone fishing in real life, I’m quite happy to do so in the confines of a video game. Heck, I have spent multiple hours staying up and fishing, over a nice selection of games. Somehow, I’m just attracted to fishing mini games. My two favourite games to fish in are Warframe and Minecraft. In Warframe, I used my love of fishing to, well, fish my way up to the top rank of Cetus. Using Volt, I could catch fish with ease and without buying other fishing spears. In Minecraft,… [Continue Reading]

4 things to do when you have done almost everything in Warframe

by
Excalibur and Warframes speak to Lotus at Tennocon

I have a lot of time in Warframe, but lately, I haven’t been doing much. Sure, I played the New War and some bounties, but honestly, there isn’t too much going on. At the same time, I like to keep one eye on Warframe, and it’s still my preferred game when it comes to mindless slaughter. Even then though, it’s nice to have some side objectives to do between mindless slaughter sessions. Here are my favourite things to do when I don’t fancy doing anything else, but still want to be vaguely productive. Open relics There’s nothing better than running… [Continue Reading]

Fishing on the Cambion Drift is Rather Annoying

Fishing in a cave in a sea of red.

I am normally a big fan of fishing. Not just in Warframe, but in other games as well. Minecraft fishing has always been particularly strong. Heck, I spent way, way too long fishing for a Pokemon in Pixelmon. But there’s something… lacking when it comes to fishing in the Cambion Drift. I’m just not enjoying infested fishing as much as I should. Here’s why.

Fishing for Cosmog

Fishing for Cosmog

I’m not sure what day it is. Everything is blurring together. The little jingle of getting experience in Minecraft is stuck in my mind. I hear the sound of a bobber being pulled under at random. Large, blue surfaces and pixel oceans make me stutter. And I want to murder every single Deerling and Surskit in existence. Why? Because I have been fishing for Cosmog. You see, the other day, the Pixelmon server I play on had a minor update. You see, this server has a way to earning in-game money by mining and fishing and various things like that.… [Continue Reading]

Fishing in Minecraft

Underwater in Minecraft 1.13

I’ve always quite liked fishing mini-games. They’re often peaceful and relaxing and something you can do as and when you please. Normally there’s something you need from fishing, some sort of recourse required to build something else. But fishing is just a… a thing to do. Nothing special, just a little mini-game. In Minecraft though? It’s probably one of the most broken things in the game. Originally, fishing was a pain in the ass with pretty much no real reward. You could use the fishing rod either catch one type of fish or to hook onto mobs and move them… [Continue Reading]

Servofishing

My favourite spot for fishing pond fish.

Servofishing is just fishing for robots. Because for some reason, the Orb Vallis doesn’t have any normal fish, it has a strange mixture of mechanical fish, a combination of boxy Corpus fish robots and smooth, sleek Orokin fish creatures that have been swimming in the coolant waters for hundreds of years and have suddenly been dragged out of the water so us Tenno can turn them into scrap. I’ve already brought up fishing, both on the Orb Vallis and on the Plains of Eidolon before, but lately my new favourite thing is to sit on my lazy yellow ass and… [Continue Reading]

Fishing and Mining and Capturing Small Animals in the Orb Vallis

by
The Orb Vallis

With the Fortuna update, there are more minerals to mine, more gems to refine and more fish to, er, fish. There is also the whole capturing animals and sending them off to safety via miniature helicopters, but let’s talk about the more familiar things first. Mining got the biggest changes. The whole tracing minigame is gone, having beem replaced with a heating minigame. Basically, while zoomed in, you can click and hold M1 on the glowing circles of any ore vein and hold it until it’s in the white highlighted area. Sometimes the correct area moves around, sometimes it is… [Continue Reading]

Fishing on the beaches, just off Cetus

by
Electrocuting fish is a perfectly legitimate way to fish.

There’s not been much for me to do lately in Warframe. While I wait for the next fairly large update, while I wait for Chroma Prime to finish baking in my foundry and while I awkwardly level up a bunch of Dual Swords that I don’t like, I find myself drifting between tasks. Normally I’d be spending my time doing Fissure missions, opening relics and hoping for something nice, but in my bid to get the latest Prime items, I’ve worn myself out. The same can be said for my normal money runs on Seimeni and the Index, and Sorties… [Continue Reading]
