This isn't tedious and a complete opposite compared to Warframe's normal gameplay, oh no.

Damn Bloody Space Kids

February 8, 2017March 9, 2017 Medic 0 Comments angry, raaaaah, rant, warframe

I am very angry with Warframe right now. Unbelievably angry. I am sick and tired of these damn bloody space kids. I hate them. They’re horrible. “But Medic!” you ask, “Medic, why the hell are there children in a game about space ninjas?” I don’t fucking know. It’s all to do with the Second Dream and the War Within, finding out that we’re not actually wearing these awesome biomechanical ninja suits of death, oh no, we’re telepathically controlling them from a chair in the back of our ship. Originally though, that wasn’t too bad. The Second Dream kept the space… [Continue Reading]

An Article a Day Keeps the Medic Away

December 24, 2016January 21, 2017 Medic 0 Comments blog, holidays, ramble, random, rant, SPUF

Today is December 24th. Christmas Eve if you’re celebrating. The first day of Macromera if you’re a Rethavok. Either way, hopefully it’s a nice day. Things are cooking, people are excited, it’s all good. What better time than to reflect on, well, stuff. The Daily SPUF is now over three years old, having started way back in 2013, with a handful of articles written by a handful of SPUF denizens. Now, over 1200 articles later, we have come a long way since those humble beginnings. From Blog.Org to WordPress, from server to server, we’re still here. We’ve published an article… [Continue Reading]

Press ‘2’ to Give Energy

November 24, 2016December 19, 2016 Medic 0 Comments energy, healer, medic, rant, trinity, warframe

Despite all of my talk about Warframe, there’s something I’ve been almost hesitant to mention. I’ve always been someone who veers towards healers and support characters, but here I am, playing Warframe and keeping far, far away from the main support character in the game. As Warframes go, Trinity isn’t that hard to get. You need to complete quite a few junctions – Venus, Mercury, Mars and Phobos, before you can access Ceres and reach the boss battle there. For some reason, the boss fight is against Captain Vor and Lieutenant Kril, two bosses you’ve already fought on Mercury and… [Continue Reading]

Not The War Within

November 14, 2016December 10, 2016 Medic 0 Comments rant, update, warframe

As people can tell from my recent posts on SPUF and via text chats, I’m in a bad mood. I’ve been ill all week, and, in a hope of cheering myself up, I thought I’d spend Friday patiently waiting for the War Within to come out and dive straight into a new quest line, while making a SPUF of Legend video of my gameplay. Well, none of that worked. Most of it really is my fault. I stayed up until 1am on Saturday. The update hit not long after I fell asleep. I got up at nine in the morning… [Continue Reading]

Advanced Warfare: A Comprehensive Rambling

November 8, 2016December 10, 2016 Corvette 0 Comments advanced warfare, call of duty, cod, fish, ramble, rant

CALL OF DUTY: ADVANCED WARFARE ~A comprehensive rambling~ Call of Duty is quite the series, starting as a WW2 shooter series, then becoming the go-to run-and-camp FPS and eventually going into the realms of science fiction. Advanced Warfare is the first full Call of Duty game by Sledgehammer games, which did work on previous Call of Duty games like Modern Warfare 3. It is set in the mid-late 2050s, where North Korea hates freedom and Chechen terrorists have formed worldwide terror organizations with vague anarchist goals. Part 1: The Campaign (Plot spoilers below) A brief overview of the campaign gives a… [Continue Reading]

Perpetually Puzzling Puzzles in Fast-Paced Platform Shooters

November 6, 2016November 29, 2016 Medic 0 Comments rant, roadblock, speed, warframe

I love the majority of Warframe’s gameplay, the bouncing around, the bullet jumping, the gliding through the air, the shooting stuff, it’s all awesome. Warframe is totally up there when it comes to fast-paced shooter games. But there’s something that can stop you dead in your tracks. No, I’m not talking about things like absurd component costs and times to build. Yes, 3 days to build a new frame is stupid, but in the mean time, you can still play. Maybe put a lens on one of your other characters and work on your focus. I am also not talking… [Continue Reading]

Six Degrees of Movement and Motion Sickness

November 1, 2016November 29, 2016 Medic 0 Comments archwing, criticism, rant, warframe

Archwing is a game mode in Warframe in which you have six degrees of movement rather than the standard four. By that, I mean there is no floor to stand on and you have to float and fight through space on your space wings, with your gigantic sword and your space gun. Sounds pretty awesome, right? Well, not quite… I normally actually avoid Archwing missions, because I get dizzy easily. I was only re-reminded of their existence after a conversation with SilverWolf, and accidentally doing an Exterminate alert that turned out to be an Archwing mission. Plus, I was going… [Continue Reading]

Subscription Games and I

October 20, 2016November 13, 2016 Medic 0 Comments criticism, free to play, pay to play, rant, subscription, world of warcraft

So I was chatting with aabicus the other day, as we do, and we were discussing what games we’ve been playing as of late. As you can tell, I’ve been playing Warframe. Aabicus though is playing games by Blizzard. He wants to get a job writing paid articles for another blog. Of course, World of Warcraft popped up. He said he found it rather addictive. I tried it years back and didn’t like it. The thing that always put me off was the subscription. And buying new expansions all the time. Now you just need to buy a subscription and… [Continue Reading]

Video Game Burnout

October 17, 2016November 13, 2016 Medic 0 Comments burnout, ramble, rant

Right now, I’m going through a phase. It’s a phase of laziness and self-loathing, but it’s not the same as my other phases of laziness and self-loathing. No, this one is different. It has affected me via video games as well. I’ve basically lost the will to game. For a normal person, or even a normal gamer, that’s not a problem. They’ll go do something else for a bit. Maybe play Candy Crush or something. But I’ve got a gaming blog to run, and as much as I’d like to post my Phoviverse stuff here, it really doesn’t suit the… [Continue Reading]

So much damn work, roleplaying these days...

On Roleplaying

October 12, 2016November 6, 2016 Medic 0 Comments rant, roleplay, roleplaying, rp

I used to be an avid roleplayer. Text-based roleplaying rather than game/picture/whatever-based. You know, one person writes part of a story from their point of view, then the next person writes something, and so on and so forth. The themes? Anything really as long as it interested me. Strictly safe for work though, I’ve never really done (or been good at) writing sexy stuff. These days? I avoid roleplaying as much as possible. My original forays into roleplaying go back to when I used to run Budding Writers, a small writing forum. We didn’t really do much proper roleplaying, it… [Continue Reading]
