Followers in various video games

Most games with a story, whether they are single player or multiplayer, have a habit of dragging someone with you for a while. How games do this, well it varies greatly, so I’m going to talk about the few games I’ve placed recently. Sometimes, followers, companions, whatever you want to call them, are bloody awful. Sometimes you forget they’re there. Often the game developers want you to have some sort of attachment to the morons you generally have following you around. One of my favourite examples of a follower done right is that of the security guards and scientists in… [Continue Reading]

A Quick Glance at the Borderlands

February 9, 2016 Medic 0 Comments analysis, borderlands 2, non-tf2, review

Recently, I’ve started replaying Borderlands 2. I played the original a looong time ago, liked it a lot, but found it incredibly hard. I was also kinda screwed by a weak computer that ended with me never actually being able to leave the Arid Badlands and enter the next area – every time I did, the game would freeze then crash. Still, I liked the darker humor and Skags are pretty cool creatures. Before I continue, there’s spoilers ahead. Just so you know. Borderlands 2 is supposed to be a sequel but there’s something off about it. On the plus… [Continue Reading]

Ruined for Other Games

February 2, 2016 Medic 0 Comments non-tf2, shooting, Team Fortress 2

Team Fortress 2 has spoiled me. All these years that I’ve been playing it have ruined me when it comes to playing other games. The game may not have been my first FPS, but I’ve got nearly 1800 hours on the game and it’s done some weird things to me. The first thing that has always bothered me is aiming. The majority of shooters generally want you to scope in or use an iron sight in order to aim more accurately. At the very least, you have way less accuracy when running than you do when standing still, and increased… [Continue Reading]

aabicus tries to CS:GO part III

February 1, 2016 aabicus 0 Comments counter-strike, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, CSGO, non-tf2

The more Counter-Strike:Global Offensive I play, the more interested I get in its version of asymmetrical multiplayer. Despite being a competitively-ranked player vs. player military shooter, it does not follow the common trope of giving both teams similar arsenals. Instead, the terrorist and counter-terrorist ordnance are differ from each other in several very distinct ways, encapsulated best by the two signature rifles of each team. Like other games, CSGO chose to differentiate these two guns primarily through emphasizing either damage or accuracy. The AK47 hits much harder than the M4A1-S but at the cost being far less accurate, a distinction that… [Continue Reading]

Dawnguard Snipin’ – Part 6

January 25, 2016 Medic 0 Comments dawnguard, dawnguard snipin', non-tf2, Skyrim, sniper, sniping

You know what mate? I’m getting kinda tired of walking. When Medic got back from Skyrim, he told me that there was tons of walking, but it was actually eventful. This is all just tedious! I spent all of last time walking, hope this time perks up. So after killing those two winged bastards, things start to get a bit tight and valley-y. I ain’t got a clue who you get onto those bridges up there (or even how they were built, these ugly Falmer aren’t exactly smart), but eventually we get to a place called Glacial Crevice. We head… [Continue Reading]

Why I like TESV:Skyrim

January 4, 2016 Medic 0 Comments fun, games, non-tf2, roleplay, Skyrim

I love Skyrim. Right now, it’s competing with Garry’s Mod as to which game deserves more of my attention, and Skyrim is winning by a mile. Why though? I’m not normally a fan of RPGs or even single player games. Most of the games I’ve played are multiplayer games with a single player mode on the side, or they’re really old games for Playstation One and Two. Skyrim’s actually one of the more unusual, yet somehow more stereotypical games in my played library. By stereotypical, I mean, almost everyone likes Skyrim. The people who don’t are generally people who feel… [Continue Reading]

Five reasons why I’m not pre-ordering Overwatch

January 2, 2016 Medic 1 Comment competition, criticism, non-tf2, overwatch, Team Fortress 2

Everyone’s going on about Overwatch. Me? I’m pissed off. Mostly because I missed the open-to-all Beta weekend, because that was the one weekend I didn’t have stable internet. Typical. Still, I’ve been watching Overwatch and I do really like the look of it, and I think Valve will have to step up their game if they want TF2 to be able to keep up. That being said, I won’t be pre-ordering the game any time soon. Here’s why. 5. I don’t feel as if it’s worth $30 right now. Overwatch being a mostly multiplayer game is good and all, but… [Continue Reading]

One of the best games to play when drunk

December 27, 2015 Medic 2 Comments comedy, demoman, drunk, fighting, funny, gang beasts, holiday, non-tf2

My brother asked for one thing this Christmas. A second XBOX controller. We had no idea why, but we obliged. He was ever so excited to open his gift. We soon found out why. This time of year is the sort of time where a lot of people get drunk and are in dire need of some form of entertainment to keep them amused before they start fighting one another. Rather ironically, I actually do not drink (not a drop, never ever!) but people in my family do. None of them are mean drunks, but they are sleepy. Then again,… [Continue Reading]

“Just a girl with a fucking huge hammer!”

December 9, 2015 Medic 0 Comments league of legends, lore, non-tf2

Poppy as a League of Legends champion has been a pain in the ass for years. She had very little voice lines, a horrible model and a selection of abilities that either made her automatically lose the game or automatically win the game depending on the last time she got buffed, often leaning towards the former, because the latter was fucking terrifying. Poppy’s ultimate ability, for example, allowed her to become invulnerable to almost all damage from everyone except her target. The idea was that she and her target would fight to the death, but most Poppys used their ultimate… [Continue Reading]

Happy Independence Finland

December 6, 2015 sham1 0 Comments finland, history, nationalism, non-tf2, real life, sham1

First, lets get some music here: Now that we are listening one of the most beautiful pieces of orchestrated music in recent history (and by recent I mean music made from 1800 forwards), we shall discuss what this national holiday entails, and a little bit of the other holiday on the same date, St. Nicholas’ day. First thing to discuss about this independence day is what was we became independent from. Now, I could go into a lot more detail about the entire history of this region from about 1100 (when the crusades started to come into the north) all… [Continue Reading]
