Little Tiny Things You May Not Have Noticed in Pokemon GO

April 15, 2023April 16, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, random, tips

Pokemon GO has tiny little tidbits that you may not notice. Not so much easter eggs, more little details that are easily missed. Here are some of these little tidbits. • Your shadow moves with the time of day. This is actually a somewhat newer feature, but the shadow of your avatar and the shadow of your buddy will move according to the time of day, getting longer in the evenings and shorter closer to noon. • Pokemon you have tapped on turn to face you. If you tap on a Pokemon and don’t catch it, it will turn to… [Continue Reading]

Loading Screen Tips for Pokemon GO

December 11, 2022December 8, 2022 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, tips

When you load up Pokemon GO, as you watch the loading bar slowly creep across, there’s always a tip, a little “did you know” sort of thing with some useful advice. There are only a handful, and while they are quite useful, there could definitely be more tips. So I’m going to give Niantic a hand and list out some other little tips. Maybe they can put these on the login screen too. Here’s a bunch of random tips that hopefully make the game easier for you. Not in any particular order though. Pokemon turn to face you when you… [Continue Reading]

3 More Tips Every L4D2 Player Should Know

January 5, 2022December 29, 2021 aabicus 0 Comments l4d2, Left 4 Dead 2, tips, tricks, water

A while back I wrote an article about three basic tips every Left 4 Dead 2 player should know. Each of them are easy to understand yet massively increase anyone’s survivability. The tips in this followup article are less mandatory, but still good to know. Either they’re more situational, or there are nuances that make them a little tougher to explain effectively. Nevertheless, if you found the first one helpful, this sequel’s for you! Tip #1: Stand on map objects when you get the chance. Imagine a common situation: you’re traveling down the street, when a horde of zombies suddenly… [Continue Reading]

7 Tips for Leveling Up Your Buddy in Pokemon GO

September 17, 2021September 7, 2021 Medic 0 Comments advice, buddy, buddy system, pokemon go, tips

Pokemon GO’s buddy system is somewhat weird. Walking a buddy used to just be a way to earn candy. But now, your buddy can earn XL and Mega candt, show you Pokestops you haven’t spun before and gives you presents of varying value. At Best Buddy, your Pokemon gains an extra level, which can take a Pokemon to level 51 at most. However, the buddy system does take a lot of time, especially if you are looking to use a Legendary Pokemon. Thankfully though, I have some tips for you that can make leveling up a buddy easier. You don’t… [Continue Reading]

While I’ve talked about the best Affinity and experience farms in Warframe before, it’s always good to have options. After all, there is only so much time you can spend on Hydron. Sometimes you just need a break, a chance to do something different. We have so many items in Warframe to level up. The grind is now bigger than ever, especially since we have a ton of new 5-forma-required weapons. Here are some slightly less effective but still good Affinity farms, in cause you get bored. Spy Missions For low level players, places like Hydron and Railjack might seem… [Continue Reading]

At first glance, Warframe can seem rather pay-to-win. However, if you dig past that even a little, you can easily climb ranks and grab new gear and weapons. All it takes is a bit of time and patience. But, while you wait, here are some tips and advice on how to make the most of an F2P experience. Starter Platinum When you first start playing Warframe, you actually start off with 50 Platinum. This Platinum can’t be traded, but it is enough for a handful of purchases.

A Cheap Coward’s Guide to the Steel Path

May 4, 2021April 25, 2021 Medic 0 Comments guide, newbie, specter, steel path, tips, tricks, warframe

The Steel Path can seem intimidating. All enemies are over level 100, and they’re all heavily armoured. The Corpus have tons of shields and the Infested are… Well, actually, the Infested are fine, as long as there are no Swarm Mutalist Moas around. Because they give the Infested tons of armour. Either way, the Steel Path is not a place for casual players. However, you don’t need to spend forever formaing your gear and making super OP ultra umbral forma builds. In fact, you can get through the Steel Path very cheaply. But only if you are patient. Can’t hit… [Continue Reading]

The other day I took an old L4D2 article and repurposed the topic into a Payday the Heist article. Well today, a Payday article is returning the favor due to a major L4D2 update coming out and bringing a whole host of new players to our favorite zombie shooter! I recently played through the new campaign with three friends, and we managed to beat it on Advanced Difficulty our first try. Despite this, there were a couple of basic mechanics I saw they could have been doing to drastically increase their survivability: Tip #1: Shove More. This is the single… [Continue Reading]

There’s often so much to farm in Warframe that you don’t know where to begin. But after a while, you get bored of the same old spots.

Weird Little Warframe Facts About Weapons

July 3, 2020June 28, 2020 Medic 0 Comments tips, tricks, warframe, weapon

Years and years ago, aabicus wrote an article about little-known mechanics in Team Fortress 2. He went into a detailed list of various things that really aren’t obvious at all. Some of these were minor differences like how a Sniper’s rifle’s laser will detect invisible spies. However, some mechanics were rather large, like how crouching breaks hitboxes. The article is quite an interesting read, and aabicus suggested I write one about Warframe, with my insane knowledge. Small problem with that: There are SO MANY little-known mechanics that it’s impossible to list even some of them in a single item. That… [Continue Reading]
