On Resident Evil 4

April 25, 2023April 17, 2023 Medic 0 Comments horror, resident evil, scary

When I last visited my boyfriend and stayed over for a bit, we decided we needed some horror. So we came up with Horror Night with [Redacted], where we’d play Resident Evil 4 with the lights off and late at night, on the PS5. It’s been a great experience so far, and we still have a few chapters remaining. But there’s something weird about Resident Evil 4 that I can’t quite put my finger on. First off though, this game is pretty. Well, it’s not pretty as in generally pleasing to look at, but the game’s scenery is well made,… [Continue Reading]

For obvious reasons, this image will be as bad as it gets. But seriously, if you're put off by a badly textured Argonian butt, I'm amazed you got this far.

Stupid Sexy Skyrim

March 19, 2017March 27, 2017 Medic 0 Comments help, mods, nudity, scary, sexy, Skyrim

You’ve all seen them. The sexy Skyrim mods. The skimpy armour sets, the big-breasted character presets, the mods that make everyone nude and attractive, the hundreds upon thousands of sexy female succubus followers that also wear skimpy armour, are super overpowered and are also big-breasted and naked when they (or you) remove their clothes. Well, most people only see the skimpy armour and sexy followers on the Steam Workshop, but anyone who knows how to really mod knows that all the best mods are on the Skyrim section of Nexus Mods. Look deeper, and there’s even more sexy stuff. Mods… [Continue Reading]

How to Design Enemies That Are Truly Scary

January 7, 2017January 27, 2017 aabicus 1 Comment comparison, design, enemies, horror, mechanics, On Shooters, scary

There are many, many enemies in video games designed to be scary, and I wanted to take some time to talk about ways to make enemies that fulfill this trope without resorting to “cheap” tactics like jumpscares or making them speedy OHKOs. Note that this article is mostly interested in “normal” enemies, not single boss-like monsters (like Spider from LIMBO) or full-fledged NPCs (like Pyramid Head from Silent Hill). Also I’m not an art major so my focus is on game mechanics and AI behaviors, and less on appearances. One of the scariest monsters I’ve had to fight in any game was… [Continue Reading]

My First Sortie

October 6, 2016October 31, 2016 Medic 0 Comments help, scary, survival, warframe

So, after much tension, Davjo dragged me, kicking and screaming, through my first Sortie in Warframe… “OH GOD MEDIC STOP WITH THE DAMN WARFRAME ARTICLES I AM SO SICK OF WARFRAME ARTICLES!” Oh come on, don’t be like that. There’s over 1000 articles on this blog. Most of them are about Team Fortress 2, but nothing interesting has happened as of late. I’d do PAYDAY articles but aabicus has that covered. And no one likes it when I do Skyrim or Minecraft articles. Warframe is my game of the month and I want to talk about it. Anyway, a Sortie… [Continue Reading]

Scream Fortress needs to be scarier.

October 17, 2014 Medic 0 Comments advice, halloween, scary

I have to give the blog and update writers for Team Fortress 2 a lot of credit. Whoever these people are, they are amazing. They rarely fail to amuse, except when they joke that an already very late comic was actually early and the next one won’t be until next year. It’s always full of amusing jokes and all sorts of strange references. The Saxxy Awards for example mentioned Guardians of the Galaxy and Captain America: Winter Soldier. And of course, when Scream Fortress comes around, the poor writers try their best to make it all seem spooky. Except it’s… [Continue Reading]

Mod Showcase: Zombie Fortress

March 24, 2014 brickinator 0 Comments custom, fortress, game, halloween, mod, mode, oooohhhh, scary, spooky, undead, zf, zombie, zombies

Welcome back to Mod Showcase. I’m Brickinator and today’s mod is the imaginatively titled ‘Zombie Fortress’; a game type which features the undead because everything does these days. Just as you’d expect, RED team start off as survivors and BLU are the zombies. The survivors cannot respawn but the zombies can, so there’s a constant stream of the brain-munchers throughout the match. Luckily for the survivors, the zombies can’t use guns. But they can carry baseball bats and knives for some reason. Maybe they were armed by a Glaswegian gang or something. The classes you can play as are restricted;… [Continue Reading]

Mod Showcase: Death Run

March 18, 2014 brickinator 0 Comments death, DR, gauntlet, mod, oooooh, run, scary, showcase, sprint

Welcome to another thrilling instalment of Mod Showcase. Brickinator here and I’m gonna chat about Death Run. Contrary to its name Death Run is not an 80’s action movie and is instead a frantic gamemode in which one team must navigate through an obstacle course of deadly traps. The traps usually kill instantly and you don’t respawn for the rest of the match; it’s basically a Japanese gameshow but without the remorse. All but one player are put on the RED team, known as the ‘runners’. The BLU team consists of that one guy left over- usually whoever won last round. He’s… [Continue Reading]
