Computer Explosions & Update

So...it sounded like gunfire and smelled like burning happiness when my beloved computer exploded. It was definitely a worst case scenario, I had to take a moment to let it sink in that I no longer had a nice computer. I woefully tossed and turned for a few moments before finally coming to the conclusion that this was, in fact, not the end of the world.

It was however a pretty significant change of pace for me, someone who is online for a majority of their free time generally doesn't have a whole lot of backup plans when your source of fun/work/communication just up and explodes. But all was not lost, I dusted off my now quite old backup PC that hadn't seen the light of day since I got my new rig and cleaned up the myriad of viruses and old programs.

So all was not lost but it's certainly a different level of gaming and whatnot as I'm using a machine that is approaching its 10th birthday...but anyway.

The computer explosion has meant no more Aion for me as I simply can't run it on the level I'm used to and PvP is an absolute nightmare (I'm a ping/fps brat when it comes to Aion, don't judge!). So, I've had to seek other entertainment while my computer is being fixed up. I found this in Warframe, a new free-to-play third person shooter. It's fairly less demanding than a full fledged MMO but it has a lot to offer gamers on a budget or those who don't have amazing computer setups.

I'm honestly not sure if I'll be able to get my pre-4.0 Aion project off the ground since I can't even access most of the content that was supposed to end up in there (Back up your projects, don't suffer like me!) since it...well it exploded.

I'll be back in the swing of things sometime next week when my computer gets fixed! Hopefully before 4.0 launches!

There might be a brief Warframe post in the next few days...I'm hesitant to post anything concrete about it since they're still developing and changing the game on a large scale while it's in beta. We shall see!


Thanks for reading!

Aion announcement!

Aion recently announced that 4.0, the largest content expansion we have seen, will be landing in June. That leaves just a few short months before our world gets flipped upside down (In a good way, hopefully!). I'm working on a project right now, it's a tad different than my typical guides but still quite important in my opinion.

I'd like to put together a "Best of 3.0" presentation and I don't have a clue what it'll look like yet. All I do know is that I want to include things that were iconic and defining about the 3.0 era as I see 4.0 as a reinvention of Aion more than a content expansion due to the new classes and numerous core changes to the game's formula. Much will remain the same but so much will change so I find it important to at least try and capture some of the more wonderful moments of the game up until now. It'll likely be a multi-part project with perhaps a video and maybe a pseudo-scrapbook.

Bioshock Infinite Vox Codes

Just a quick little post detailing the Vox Codes as I find them!

#1 I foolishly forgot to screenshot the first one but you find the code in a cannon at the part of Soldier's Field right before entering Slate's section (Hall of Heroes) of the map. The code itself is in the building directly across from the cannon written on the bathroom wall.

#2 The next code is related to the code book you'll find in the prison while searching for Chen Lin, the gunsmith. The code book is located in the room with the furnace, just before the hallway with the jail cells, it is sitting on a pile of signs for Chen Lin's store. Once you have the book you'll need to head back outside of the prison/Good Time Club and walk past the door to "Shantytown", follow the wall all the way to the end and take a left. There will be a fairly large door that requires a lockpick to open. The code is on the wall inside. (As shown in the screenshots!).

The Door

The Code

#3 Next we have the code book found in the basement of Hudson's. It doesn't take you to the usual kind of code but make sure to grab the book on your way to Comstock House or as you're making your way to the bank of the prophet, where the code ultimately leads you.

Hudson's Store (Code Book Location)

Located in the basement

Leads to this typewriter in the bank basement

Once you get to the point in the story that leads you to the basement just take a left at the large vault door instead of following the footsteps to the right and you'll find the typewriter. (Thanks to Joe Ricciardi for the tip in the comments! Made sure I didn't miss it myself!)

I'll update this post as I find more. If you would like to contribute locations/screenshots feel free to either contact me directly or leave a comment!
