Pokemon I Like But Don’t Know Why

Medic 2 Comments , ,

There are a huge amount of Pokemon to love and enjoy, but there’s also plenty of unusual picks for favorite Pokemon. For me, since most of my knowledge about Pokemon comes from Pokemon GO, I’ve got some odd favorites of my own. And most of them are shiny, since shinies are more common in Pokemon GO. Anyway, here are some Pokemon I genuinely like, but don’t really know why. Shiny Skiploom Isn’t Skiploom cute? I don’t really know why, but Skiploom is utterly adorable, it’s got four little stubby legs, big flappy ears and a flower on its head that… [Continue Reading]

A Product Safety Stream

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

I don’t normally talk about my real world jobs on here. Mostly because a lot of it has to stay secret. I’ve done a huge amount of freelance graphic and web design over the years. It ranges from helping freshly founded new businesses, updating old businesses and an all-round business to business But occasionally, I’ll get a really strange request. One that doesn’t normally fit with what I normally do. This event was a Product Safety Award ceremony, hosted by the European commission. Rewards were being handed out based on two specific categories: “Protecting the safety of vulnerable consumer groups”… [Continue Reading]

How Do They Eat? Early Warframe Lore Ideas

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

It’s been known for years that the Warframes we use to kick the asses of Corpus, Grineer and Infested weren’t always what we thought they were. They were never really just people. What they were, we didn’t know. Early lore suggested that the original Warframes were feral and terrifying, hungry, destructive monsters. Rhino Prime’s codex entry (unlocked by owning Rhino Prime and viewing him in your Codex on your ship) was one such example, noting a story from an Orokin scientist, watching as an early Rhino Warframe kills and eats his fellow scientists, only to be calmed by the presence… [Continue Reading]

BOUND

SilverWolf 0 Comments , ,

I’d pondered getting this game when I saw it on STEAM but never got around to picking it up. But when I reviewed the free games for November on Playstation Plus, I found it shining amongst a plethora of… less good games. The game begins with your avatar, the Princess, being told by the Queen that a monster is destroying her kingdom and that you must bring an end to it. As you move to the door that’s revealed to you on the far side of the throne room, you notice something. The Princess doesn’t walk but dances. Every movement,… [Continue Reading]

The Day We Missed

Medic 1 Comment , ,

Today is the 19th of September 2017. On the 19th of September 2013, we missed a day. aabicus dutifully explained why in his article on the 20th, informing the few readers that we had that the Daily SPUF was moving to blog.spuf.info, the Daily SPUF website that exploded then miraculously came back to life. The site we had before we ended up here on SPUF.org. I don’t think aabicus thought we would still be going in 2017. I should point out that this is four years later, and we’re still pumping out articles and we’re slowly making our way to… [Continue Reading]

Ever felt like becoming a colon and travelling back in time to discover the origins of the written word and the future of typography? Of course you haven’t, because that would be insane. But if you’ve ever wanted to accomplish such a feat while also being in the guise of a platformer, then boy, do I have an oddly specific game for you… You should probably see a therapist. All the levels are based on fonts that were famous during their respective time period. You roll, jump and rotate around levels constructed out of individual letters, grabbing the letters of… [Continue Reading]

SMITE Kart – Racy Rumbly

SilverWolf 0 Comments , , , ,

Naturally, the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the 3rd-person, action-focused MOBA SMITE is: “My, I sure wish we had a horrible Mario Kart rip-off shoved into it…”. Oh, it ISN’T? Hmm… Seems Hi-Rez thought so at least. “Apollo’s Racer Rumble” is the newest event in the “Adventures” game mode in SMITE. Bluntly put, a never seen mode (in SMITE) is added and sticks around for a month with rewards for those who buy the pass but you can play for free if you’re not bothered about them. Perplexingly, the event is named after the god… [Continue Reading]

Not Really Second Life

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

Second Life is an ancient thing. I remember seeing adverts for it when I first joined the internet on my own in 2007, advertising that you can live out your fantasies because it’s your second life, completely separate from your first (i.e. real) life. Turns out, it was created all the way back in 2003, and it still has one million active users. Where those active users are, I have no idea. I know that aabicus is not an active member, he only really went there for educational reasons, and will one day write an epic article about his adventures.… [Continue Reading]

The Second Dream

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

So I recently completed a certain quest in Warframe. The Second Dream. It’s an unusual quest and the latest in the Warframe story, which is insane to say the least. Then again, it’s to be expected. This is a game with space ninjas and guns and stuff. A note, this article contains spoilers on the Second Dream quest, so proceed with caution. Quests in Warframe are kinda weird though, they’re almost like optional side missions. Unlike the normal day to day activity, you just get quests by, well, uh, doing stuff. Apart from the first quest, which is partially a… [Continue Reading]

Trade Restrictions

Medic 0 Comments , , , , ,

I recently got a new debit card. This isn’t an uncommon occurrence, everyone’s debit and credit cards expire every two to three years, so they need to be replaced. Like Paypal, I’ll have to re-verify my card. Having online banking makes sorting out Paypal easy (although you couldn’t tell, considering some of my clients!) and that’s sorted out nice and fast. Steam is a bit slower. Since it doesn’t have a card verification system like Paypal, you have to wait a couple of days to be able to trade. I can somewhat understand this, it’s a new payment method, something… [Continue Reading]
