Medicinal Warlock

Grim Fandango Remastered is available for free on GOG.com!

Today, Medic stresses on the importance of knowing how to cook.

Today's article is on Half-Life: C.A.G.E.D., which is a game that has nothing to do with Half-Life aside from the engine and maybe some assets as far as I can tell.

It's rather amazing. Even /r/Overwatch thinks that OW winning those two awards are dumb.

Today, Silver Wolf talks about Yooka-Laylee.

I have heard about the backlash the game got, but I'm not too clear what it was about since I don't really follow the game's news. 

One of the community managers (Alyssa) was answering questions on Reddit.

I have never felt so bad for anyone before.

I kinda wish they resign and start a new studio by themselves. Without those other folks.

And call it Higher Resolution Gaming. Or Higher Rez for short.

I've never been more upset at a game before.

Paladin's customization system is really damn good! And some of the champions have really unique kits that I've yet to see elsewhere. I was really happy with the game.

And now they've gut the customization system. And a bunch of champs were rebalanced to fit the new system.

I am pretty damn sure at least half the dev team felt like they were sawing their limbs off when implementing those changes. That was so much effort gone to waste. Gone.

Also, if you happen to be feeling peckish, Medic's got you covered there as well!

Looks fantastic with rice actually.

Also, Hi-Rez messed up again. For those wondering "What now?", just know that they made the grind even worse.

I went back to my Steam library and played through some of my games that I've not played for some time.

I really like A Story About My Uncle. Probably will write about it once my exams are over.

Why do Dota2 people get to submit their stuff twice?

Medic takes a look at Volt's new fancy skin in Warframe!

I do like the looks of it. Kind of looks like an ethereal humanoid chipping away the shell that was containing and restricting it.

Today, Medic touches on one of the most basic fundamentals of writing: spelling.

tudays. mdeiks articcle on is spoling,,, sory i hod 2

The part about getting names wrong ... man I've been there.

Oh Suicide Squad.

The only part I really enjoy is when they played The House of the Rising Sun. Because I really like that song.

Says a lot about the movie doesn't it. Man that bar scene was awful.

The Daily SPUF is snowing! And your cursor is the wind directing the little snowflakes!

Oh man that's fun. Is that something you put in Medic?

I do not care about the whole loot box thing. The only game I have ever opened crates in is TF2; and I haven't opened a crate since EoTL.

I only did so as a "thank you" to the TF Team. I got my cosmetics from the steam community market nowadays.

Having beaten the Ratchet and Clank remake VERY recently (Six days ago according to the achievement time stamp) I can say that it was fun, but not engaging or interesting. Not only by comparison to the PS2 original but on its own too. I'll probably wind up watching the playthroughs that were suggested since I'm now curious as to what I missed out on... I always wanted my own copy as a kid but only managed to play it in 5 minute random chunks on other peoples consoles. Sad they butchered the soundtrack too, it's just whimsical white noise now. I honestly can't remember a SINGLE track from the reboot.

 

Also (and I'm getting very used to saying this when it comes to Hi-Rez), what now?

According to the newest patch notes:

1. Essence is now gone

2. All cards will be given for free

3. Each champion now has 4 Legendary cards

4. The 12-point system is gone too

5. Each card now has levels, which is increased by collecting duplicates, which in turn is gotten from Chests.

6. In Ranked, every card is set to Level 3 so everyone is on an equal playing field. In Quickplay, the normal levels apply.

Getting rid of the 12 point system is one thing, the card levels are another altogether. Now you can't customize properly since you have a reason to just go for your higher-level cards, since tgey are objectively stronger.

The Ranked thing is nice though.

Today, Medic talks about how Ratchet and Clank had changed. From her description, sounds like the developers just tried to make it as generic as possible to try to not offend anyone. They really dumbed the lore down it seems.

Speaking of dumbing down, I think Hi-Rez just destroyed a good part of Paladins' customization. Guess I won't be going back ever again.

I've said it once, and I'll say it again. A cosmetic that replaces Demo's pipes on his chest with stickies would be the best cosmetic in the game. I'm very surprised it hasn't happened yet. I haven't even seen anything in the workshop.

I don't know TOGE, I'm not a fan of that look.

Speaking of Loot Boxes and The Companies That Are Facing Backlash, our latest Battlefront 2 news says stocks are down (though competitors' stocks are up, suggesting it's not an overall industry thing).

 

I'm frankly shocked that we're actually seeing something happen. Whether or not it maintains enough momentum to do something in the long term... well, it's cool to see that it's so highly visible, I guess?

Stock markets aren't exactly the most stable thing in the world though. Wait for a week and see what happens.

Small problem, I've burned through everyone else's articles, so it's going to be a bit Medic-y for a while.

 

In the mean time, feel free to suggest articles or something.

Won't be writing anything for the next three weeks by the looks of it. University's eating up a lot of my time.

Probably will make it in time to write the two Christmas articles I hoped to do though. Or at least one of them.

Medicinal Warlock takes a shot at the alpha for Apocryph! More fast-paced shooters can't be a bad thing! Hopefully it gets more options down the line like you mentioned. The fog makes it look worse and the slow-mo should be an unlockable cheat or something.

It's an alpha, so I supposed they are ironing things out for now. 

Today, TheOnlyGuyEver goes bananas over bananas.

Medicinal Warlock covers Pyro's new weapons from the jungle update! I still need to obtain all the Pyro weapons but they look fun Internet issues from storm damage stopped me originally, but recently I've just been trying to deal with my backlog of games. But I'll jump back in afterwards :D

 

I hope I still have a name and description tag lying around... I want to name my Dragon's Fury after Drogoz... Come on, it's perfect.

And Pyro can pair it with a jetpack.  Damn.
