Zorua Is Both Here and Obvious

October 31, 2022October 30, 2022 Medic 0 Comments halloween, pokemon go, spooky, zoroark, zorua

After a very, very long wait, Zorua is finally available in Pokemon GO. Debuting in the Halloween Event Part 2, Zorua had a rocky start and was initially disabled, but it was released towards the end of the event, ready to disguise itself. Because that’s what this familiar, well-loved Pokemon does. And who does it disguise as? Our buddies, of course. Zorua is very obvious. Normally, spawning disguised as your buddy sounds pretty cool. Especially if you’re walking something like a Noibat or perhaps a Deino. Seeing something rare on your Pokemon radar will make you rush over to it.… [Continue Reading]

5 More Short, Free, Low-Poly Horror Games That Are Worth Playing

November 18, 2021December 30, 2021 aabicus 2 Comments dark, free, graphics, Horror Games, indie games, recommendation, short, spooky

My last two articles on short, free, low-poly horror games published in August and September. And now the finale is publishing in November, meaning I completely missed the correct month for spooky articles. Oh well! Even if it’s a bit out-of-season, I think you’ll still enjoy these bite-sized tidbits of terror: 1. The Whitetail Incident The Whitetail Incident was definitely my favorite game to play on this list. Not the least of which because you get a shotgun! The player character is a ranger searching for a coworker who went missing while responding to a camper’s SOS. Accompanying you is… [Continue Reading]

5 Short, Free, Low-Poly Horror Games That Are Worth Playing

August 30, 2021August 30, 2021 aabicus 0 Comments dark, graphics, horror, Horror Games, indie games, recommendation, short, spooky

Do you like short, free, low-poly horror games? I don’t blame you for not immediately responding with an enthusistic “Yes!” because it’s a pretty niche category, one I’d never even played until a few days ago. But in hindsight I should have realized it would absolutely be a winning genre for me. I’ve already devoted a whole week to articles on dark spooky forests, and this is something of a sequel because most of these games would have qualified. Every game in this list is beatable in a single sitting and (in my opinion) a short but worthwhile experience. All… [Continue Reading]

Welcome to ‘Dark Spooky Forest’ Week!

October 31, 2020June 7, 2021 aabicus 0 Comments dark, forest, retrospective, spooky

Hey all! As described a while back, Medic has left me in charge of the Daily SPUF for a while, which is why you’ve been seeing more articles from me than usual. Last time this happened, I did a “retrospective week” where I discussed old games that weren’t really in the public conscience anymore. This week, I want to do something similar, but with a focus on my personal favorite video game setting: dark and spooky forests. I am a total sucker for dark and spooky forests. Perhaps it was due to growing up in the city, when my dad… [Continue Reading]

The Index enemies aren't actually that bad though.

The Mysterious Case of the Broken Index Mission

October 30, 2019October 24, 2019 Medic 0 Comments Bug, index, spooky, warframe

Nightwave being back means that there’s always a bunch of somewhat obscure elite, weekly tasks for us to do. For the first week of Nightwave, we got two somewhat tricky tasks – to kill or capture a Hydralyst and to complete three rounds in a row in the Index without the Corpus scoring any points. Neither of these are that difficult but they can be a pain in the ass if you’re unprepared. So of course, I went to do this Index task only slightly prepared. Knowing that the Corpus can be sneaky bastards, I took Khora, who has a… [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]
