Cephalon Squared: A Warframe Podcast

Cephalon Squared Non-Holiday Special: Duviri Paradox May 01, 2023

It had been a while since the Cephalons last spoke about Warframe, so they decided to do it again - for old times' sake. This special, once-off episode covers what the Cephalons have been getting up to over the last couple of years, as well as their thoughts on the major Warframe updates since the last episode...

E150 - EndgameWarframes, Companions, & The End of Cephalon Squared Sep 19, 2021

After 150 main episodes spanning a period of 3 years and 2 months, Cephalon Squared's Warframe podcast is finally coming to an end.

In this final episode, the Cephalons discuss endgame warfames and companions, based on feedback from their Discord community, followed by heartfelt thank yous as the show winds down. Before to stick around until the end for a silly surprise, as should be expected from the guys.

Thank you to all of you for listening over the years, we really appreciate your support. In fact, we couldn't have done it without you.

If you think you'll miss these crazy Aussies, join the Discord (http://discord.gg/Xd9s8Hj).

E149 - Devstream 156 & Endgame Melee Aug 29, 2021

Well, it's the penultimate episode of Cephalon Squared, and not only are we continuing our Endgame discussion with Melee weapons this week, but we also bring you our thoughts on Devstream 156! Bonus!

Stick around for the big finale in a couple of weeks (and note that we may record from time to time after big announcements/releases).

E148 - Endgame Secondaries Aug 15, 2021

Only 3 more episodes to go, but this week, we've continued our endgame focus, with a discussion about endgame-viable secondary weapons, based on feedback from our Discord community!

It's a lot of fun, and there are a few surprises - join us, and let us know your favourites!

E147 - Endgame Primaries Aug 01, 2021

While there wasn't a whole lot of news on the Warframe front this time around, it's an important episode for Cephalon Squared news. We encourage you to listen.

In addition, we asked our community for their opinions on viable endgame primary weapons - and we share them all in this episode! If you're struggling with Steel Path, this might be for you!

E146 - TennoCon 2021 Jul 18, 2021

For Warframe players, TennoCon is the best time of year -- it's like Christmas. It's when we all get together to share our love of the game and see what big things are next in store fr us.

And this year was no different, except maybe that the two things that were shown off were maybe the most anticipated pieces of Warframe content ever. So that's a thing.

So whether you caught the panels or not, grab a snack, sit back, and listen to our overview of TennoCon 2021. And get excited, Tenno - big things are coming.

E145 - Sisters of Parvos update Jul 11, 2021

Finally, the Sisters of Parvos update has seen fit to grace our servers, and what an update it is. Not only does it bring the Sisters themselves, and a whole raft of weapons, but there's a brand new Warframe in there and a major weapon rebalance.

Listen to hear our thoughts, and we'll see you again next week for our TennoCon follow-up.

E144 - The Arsenal Divide Workshop Overview Jun 20, 2021

Coming in only a couple of days later than DE had suggested, the weapons workshop hit, and brought with it some other workshop announcements - changes are also incoming for the Parazon and Helminth Abilities.

There was a lot to go over, but hopefully we can help clarify all of the changes that are coming. And they are coming soon - all of the changes are expected as part of the forthcoming Sisters of Parvos update!

Join us - and let us know your thoughts!

E143 - Devstream #155 Jun 06, 2021

With only a few short weeks until TennoCon, this week we were treated to a final Devstream before the big show! From now, the team will go internal to work on what they plan to show off, but before then, there's still plenty to be excited about, such as an upciming weapons rework, and the Sisters of Parvos release...

E142 - How About an Annual Social Event in Warframe? May 16, 2021

As this was an in-between week, we decided to discuss a topic that popped up on a YouTube Channel via TheDsIEGE. This video discusses the Guardian Games in Destiny, and how we should perhaps have something similar in Warframe.

We thought it was a great idea, but had some different ideas about what to implement. This was a lot of fun - have a listen, and let us know your thoughts in our Discord or via Social Networks!

E141 - Devstream 154 May 02, 2021

Huzzah - another Devstream week, and this one was jam-packed with goodies to unpack. None of which is expected within the month of May (sorry folks), but all of which looks like a great deal of fun. Things to look forward to!

Anyway, join us as we discuss everything that was shown off, and more!

https://www.cephalonsquared.com/

E140 - Thoughts on Call of the Tempestarii Apr 18, 2021

It's been a few weeks since our last episode, but boy - the wait was worth it. Well... we think it was at least. The news was thin over the last few weeks, but just recently, Update 30: Call of the Tempestarii, dropped on all platforms.

And if that's not something worth talking about, then I don't know what is.

And in all honesty, there was a lot to unpack. Join us as we share our thoughts - and we'll see you again in a couple of weeks!

https://www.cephalonsquared.com/

E139 - Devstream 153 Mar 28, 2021

Hey, Hey! End of the month, time for a new Devstream, and you know what that means? Yep, our little Warframe Podcast is gonna follow that right up!

This week's Devstream was exactly what was expected, and not much more - a little detail on what we should expect to see in April. But a whole bunch of stuff was shown off, and a truckload of player questions answered, so it was well worth the wait.

https://www.cephalonsquared.com/

E138 - Railjack 3.0 Workshop Mar 14, 2021

Our first two-week break between episodes, and I've gotta say... it was a good idea!

There wasn't much news to discuss over the last two weeks, and we've come back to a major workshop forum post! And not only that - details on the Zephyr rework! A brilliant bunch of info to discuss -- please join us for the fun and speculation...

https://www.cephalonsquared.com/

E137 - Devstream 152 Feb 28, 2021

It was Devstream week, and you know what that means? Yep, Cephalon Squared was all over it!

This week was full of all sorts of details - upcoming content, Sevagoth, and much much more, alongside a bunch of nerfs and fixes set to come down the pipeline... There was a lot to talk about, so jump in and have a listen!

https://www.cephalonsquared.com/

E136 - Arcane Helmets Feb 21, 2021

Almost 2 months in to 2021 already - can you believe it? Well, next week brings a new Devstream, so get excited!

This week, though, saw an error in the Nightwave rewards, which meant that players could get their hands on an Arcane Helmet, which haven't been seen in-game for several years now. As a result, we decided it was a good discussion topic - to help new players understand where they fit into the game and discuss whether or not they are still worthwhile!

Join us!

E135 - Bringing Tenno Back to the Dojo Feb 14, 2021

Have you ever thought about the Dojo, and how - apart from trading and the labs - there's little point in visiting? Well, we have, as did a few of our Discord users. And out of that little discussion came a few great ideas to try to bring players back to the Dojo on a more regular basis.

Not what you were thinking? Send us your thoughts!

Oh, and we've made the decision to cut Beginner and Advanced topics from today - they were getting hard to think of, plus, we can add more tips into the rest of the content!

https://www.cephalonsquared.com

E134 - Helminth System 6 Months Later Feb 07, 2021

The weeks keep on ticking by... so fast! We couldn't believe it had already been 6 months since the Helminth System had been added to Warframe, so given it was tipped to be such a massive change to the game, we decided we'd have a chat about exactly how much of an impact it has had on the game. Let us know your thoughts as well!

(Beginner Topic: weapons used to build other weapons; Advanced Topic: Sniper Combos)

https://www.cephalonsquared.com/

E133 - Devstream 151 Jan 31, 2021

The first Devstream of 2021 has come and gone. We were hoping to hear about what's soon to be coming down the pipeline. Were we pleasantly surprised?

Yes, actually! Have a listen to find out why!

https://www.cephalonsquared.com/

E132 - The State of Warframe Jan 24, 2021

The year is ticking along quickly - we're almost into February already! This week, a YouTube video caught our eye and inspired us to discuss the current state of Warframe as it stands in January 2021. Yes, it's a little negative, but we try to keep an open mind as we look at the direction the game has taken in recent months and years.

Oh... and beginner and advanced topics are BACK (beginner: soloing warframe; advanced: railjack damage types).

https://www.cephalonsquared.com/

E131 - Warframe vs other grinds Jan 17, 2021

Another week, another fantastic Warframe podcast - promise!

Given it's still early in the New Year, there's little news to cover, so the Cephalons thought they'd tackle something completely new (at least... to them) - discussing other games and how they might compare to Warframe. Think of it as a way for us to provide you, fair listener, with some alternative options to keep you going during any downtime you might come across... Before inevitably returning to Warframe, of course.

E130 - Nightwave Retrospective Jan 10, 2021

Another quiet week in the New Year, the Cephalons discover that Nightwave Series 3 is finally set to end on January 24. Which got them to thinking - Nightwave has changed so much since Series 1. Has it changed for the better?

Join us to hear what we have to say about the current state of Nightwave, as well as where we'd like to see it. Sound of in the comments or in our Discord/Facebook groups.

https://www.cephalonsquared.com/

E129 - Year in Review Jan 03, 2021

New Year, New Cephalons? Not quite, but this is the time of year we like to take stock of what came before and look forward into the future.

As a result, we review the content that was released in 2020 and take a look at what we expect and hope for from 2021. As a bonus, we also look at what we achieved in 2020 and what we are looking to do as creators in 2021.

So join us on this little retrospective - we had a lot of fun, and we hope you do too!

https://www.cephalonsquared.com/

E128 - Operation Orphix Venom Dec 27, 2020

Whaaaaat? It's the last episode of the year already? In some ways... thank the gods, but in other ways... the last few weeks just flew by... but here we are!

This week, the Cephalons take a more laid-back approach, with a relaxed episode focused simply on the current new Operation recently released for PC: Orphix Venom.

Put your feet up and join us for the festivities.

https://www.cephalonsquared.com

E127 - Devstream #150 Dec 20, 2020

It's been a busy week for one and all, not the least of which being the very last Devstream for 2020! DE finished off the year by showing off certain aspects of a new Operation that was released only days later, plus some big teases for major new content set to hit early in 2021.

And it's all really good stuff. Get your good headphones for this one, Tenno.

https://www.cephalonsquared.com/

E126 - Endurance Run Special w/ Dylan B Dec 13, 2020

It's another special! We had to record super early this week (3 days early!), but I don't believe we missed anything especially exciting. But we still have an action-packed episode ready for your aural consumption!

Like last week, we're back with a special, this time focusing on Endurance Runs! And again, we're joined by a community guest that loves to do them, so we pick his brain for some tips! Enjoy!

E125 - Eidolon Special w/ Banished Dec 06, 2020

We are so close to the end of the year now, and while we do know there will be some new content coming to Warframe before the year is up, we also know that things are starting to go very very quiet...

So we're cracking out the specials! It's been a while since we did an episode like this, but this whole episode is dedicated to talking about... Eidolons! With particular focus on how to fight the Teralyst for absolute beginners.

Plus of course beginner and advanced topics and all the usual shenanigans, this is the place to be for Warframe stuff and things.

E124 - Home Devstream #9 Nov 29, 2020

As the days tick down inexorably towards the end of 2020, Warframe continues, unabated. This week saw the streaming of another Home Devstream for the year - another one filmed from home, marking more time spent developing such a hefty title as Warframe from the confines and restrictions of the home environment.

But as Home Devstream #9 has shown us, 2020 isn't quite over yet - DE still has some plans up their sleeves. Of course, the major expansion that many were hoping for - namely the Corpus Railjack and Lich system expansions - have been pushed back into 2021, which is probably a blessing. That said, there's still content to be excited for, and at least one final Devstream, before the year's end.

So join us as we discuss what was shown off on what was actually a sound team focused stream - and there was plenty to enjoy here.
https://www.cephalonsquared.com/

E123 - Deimos Arcana is out (on PC)! Nov 22, 2020

Deimos Arcana hit PC this week, and while we knew it was pretty big, it turns out it was REALLY big. Packed full of really good stuff, including a few surprises! So join the Cephalons as they discuss the ins and outs of this new update, and why you should be happy it's here!

E122 - Infested Kitgun Arcanes with Dutchie Nov 15, 2020

The Cephalons realised it had been a loooooong time since they last had a community guest on the show, so with the end of year coming, which means less news and fewer Devstreams, it's time to get back on top of things!

This week, we bring Discord member La Dutch Master onto the show to discuss his experience with Warframe and participate with this week's overview of the newly announced Infested Kitgun Arcanes. Are they going to be worth your while? You'll have to listen to find out.

Plus, we have all the usual tips and craziness, so nothing is left out - join in the fun!

E121 - Home Devstream #8 Nov 08, 2020

If you've read the title, then you'll already know that there was a Devstream this week. However, what you won't know is that it was MASSIVE.

Absolutely chock full of incredible news and updates on new content coming to Warframe. Of course, Deimos Arcana isn't too far away, but there were some teases for content coming after as well... While it may not be coming soon, it's all really good stuff, and we are pumped for the new year - as well as what's still to come for 2020!

E120 - Thoughts on Glassmaker Nightwave Nov 01, 2020

While it wasn't a Devstream week, there was a bunch of news to keep us busy, not the least of which being the release of the final episode of Series 3 of Nightwave! As always, this came with a new boss fight - a very interesting boss fight that had a lot of people talking - for better or worse.

As a result, we chose to discuss his Series of Nightwave, and provide our thoughts on that particular boss fight... Along with all the usual fun and games! Join us!

(Beginner Topic: Relics & Prime Parts; Advanced: Mod spotlight - Preparation)

E119 - META vs Experimentation Oct 25, 2020

Another quiet week for news, the Cephalons decided to have a little chat about the META! What is it, what are the alternatives, and what are the pros and cons of using them? But more importantly... why don't we like the META?

On top of this, there's our beginner (should new players go to the open worlds? )and advanced (tips for experimentation) topics and all the usual shenanigans. Enjoy!

E118 - Deimos Arcana and the rest of 2020 Oct 18, 2020

With just over 10 weeks left in 2020, the Cephalons decided to have a chat about the three things we know are coming to Warframe players within 2020 - Nights of Naberus, the completion of the current Nightwave series, and Deimos Arcana.

Do we think it's enough to keep the average fan happy? You'll have to listen to find out!

(Beginner topic: Nights of Naberus overview; Advanced Topic: Jugulus Set Mods)

E117 - Home Devstream #7 Oct 11, 2020

It's been a few weeks since the last Devstream, and - perhaps more importantly - there are only 11 weeks left in 2020! On one hand... thank whatever deity it is that you believe in, but on the other... well, there's not much time left in the year, and we don't quite know what's going on within this game that we love so dearly.

Well, DE has come to the rescue with Home Devstream #7. While we still don't know if we should expect any large drops before the end of the year, we do know there are several things coming to the game over the next few weeks, and that's fantastic. So join the Cephalons as we pull apart everything that was presented during the stream.

E116 - A Look at Older Abilities Oct 04, 2020

Given there was another down week between Devstreams, the Cephalons decided to have a discussion around a recent change to Mag's Magnetise Ability. As this was slightly tweaked in order to make it even better, the discussion was expanded to look at a bunch of other older Warframes and some of their... less popular Abilities.

Have a listen to the banter, then join us on Facebook, Twitter or Discord to share your thoughts!

(Beginner topic: Increasing Mod Capacity; Advanced Topic: Saxum Set Mods)

E115 - Are companions worth your time? Sep 27, 2020

We've had some interesting chats in our Discord of late, as well as a few questions that made us think. One of them boiled down to whether or not companions are worth your time, effort and resources. The answer is, of course, yes, they are! But why?

The Cephalons take the time to address this, going over all the different types of companions available to you. Plus, of course, there are our regular segments, including Beginner (Mining) and Advanced (Carnis mod set) topics... So what are you waiting for?

E114 - Home Devstream #6 Sep 20, 2020

There was a secret Devstream this week! Well, OK, it wasn't secret, we just didn't know about it until it happened. It was, as usual, full of good info on both the state of the game, and upcoming changes. Plus, there was a lot of useful info in regards to how people are using the Helminth! We went deep into the data, so check it out if you want to know more about that system.

That does, of course, mean that we don't have beginner and advanced topics this week, but we do have all the usual fun, games, and banter. Check it out.

E113 - Warframe & Feature Creep Sep 13, 2020

Warframe is not for the faint of heart - there is so much content within that many players would pale in the face of its complexity. But, as most fans would know, come to understand that complexity and there is a wealth of fun to explore at your own leisure.

However, this can be a double-edged sword - without a level of simplicity and approachability for new players, some may find Warframe far too confusing and overwhelming in what it has to offer. With Railjack and a third open-world recently added to an already hugely complex game, is Warframe verging on alienating new players by way of feature creep?

In this episode, we take a light-hearted look at this topic, among all of our regular shenanigans, including beginner and advanced topics!

E112 - Updated Heart of Deimos Thoughts Sep 06, 2020

A quiet week in terms of news, as the team at DE looks towards hotfixes - plus, there was a long weekend in Canada. This gives us a good opportunity to review our opinions on Heart of Deimos, now that we've had a good go at it.

Unsurprisingly, we're still having fun, but there are a few things that are beginning to annoy us here and there...

Oh, and we start giving tips on Heart of Deimos content!

E111 - Heart of Deimos impressions &Home Devstream 5 Aug 30, 2020

From quiet weeks to DOUBLE DISCUSSIONS! Yes, this week, not only are we covering the new Heart of Deimos release, but there was also a Home Devstream! While it was a shorted Devstream, there was still plenty of good info to cover, so we talked about both... And we certainly do have a lot to say - Heart of Deimos is a great update.

E110 - TennoGen Runway: Round 19 Aug 23, 2020

We're getting very excited now! Only a few more days to wait until Heart of Deimos hits ALL platforms. It's a great time to be playing Warframe - and as of the 25th, it's also a great time to start playing, as there will be a whole new introduction and tutorial!

Anyway, TennoGen Round 19 was announced this week, so we decided to try something new - which we are calling TennoGen Runway. We'll go through every item on the list and provide our thoughts on what's coming - if you want to follow along while you listen, here's a link to the announcement on the forums:

https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1215384-tennogen-round-19-accepted-items/?tab=comments#comment-11774755

Apart from that - all the usual shenanigans abound!

E109 - The Helminth System Aug 16, 2020

With just over a week and a half left until the release of Heart of Deimos, every Warframe fan worth their salt is thinking hard about what the new Helminth System will mean for the state of Warframe moving int the future. As luck woul;d have it, DE dropped their Developer's Workshop post in regards to this topic, so the Cephalons spend an entire episode going over every single Ability that has been confirmed.

Buckle up - it's long and it's bumpy, but it's good! Promise!

E108 - What does Heart of Deimos mean for the future of Warframe? Aug 09, 2020

Heart of Deimos represents a new direction for Warframe in a number of ways - from new contraptions that the player can build and utilise, to a whole new system of customisation. We decided to take a look at this through the lens of the future - what do these new additions suggest in the way of change? And what else do we hope comes out of this?

Plus all the usual shenanigans. Join us for more fun as we wait on the next update!

(Beginner topic: easy frames to farm and feed to Helminth; Advanced: Void Damage overview)

E107 - TennoCon 2020 Aug 02, 2020

Another year, another TennoCon! This year was a little different, with the team stuck in lockdown at home, it's not so easy to develop a large-scale video game like Warframe. Nor is it easy to put on a fan conference. But I'd have to say, with TennoCon 2020, Digital Extremes has smashed it out of the park.

Listen to hear our thoughts on all of the awesome things discussed in the Art Panel and TennoLive - there's a lot to be excited about, and it's coming very soon.

E106 - Heart of Deimos Predictions Jul 26, 2020

Wow - there's only one week until TennoCon! We're starting to get excited, and the news is slowly starting to drip feed, starting with a teaser for Warframe's next update, titled Heart of Deimos!

But what is Heart of Deimos? We don't quite know, and there are a bunch of theories among the community. In this episode, we take a look at all of them and discuss what we think is most logical, and what we hope for the most...

Join us in the excitement and stick around for our overview of TennoCon 2020 in next week's episode!

E105 - Improving Warframe Cosmetics Jul 19, 2020

There are now only 2 weeks left until TennoCon, but that doesn't mean there's nothing going on in Warframeland - or in Cephalon Squared Tower! Plenty of news to discuss this week, plus a round-up of our Beginner and Advanced Topics, and a good chat about our thoughts on how to improve Warframe cosmetics...

Let us know your thoughts!

E104 - Community Guest NotCultGuy Jul 12, 2020

More downtime before TennoCon means nothing super new to discuss - apart from the release of the Steel Path. But this time, we decided to grab the NotCultGuy, a member of our Discord moderation team, for a bit of a chat about why he is now a bit of a lapsed Warframe player - and what it might take to get him to come back.

Among other things, of course. It wouldn't be an episode of Cephalon Squared if we didn't end up talking about something off-topic!

E103 - Deadlock Protocol Thoughts and What do we expect from TennoCon? Jul 05, 2020

Another quiet week means another week closer to TennoCon. But I guess it wasn't that quiet, given Deadlock Protocol finally hit consoles this week! Yay! As a result, we give you a double discussion this week, looking at the Deadlock Protocol and detailing our expectations for TennoCon 2020.

Looking for the Weathercast, or our Beginner (Warframe app) and Advanced (Fosfor) topics? We still got ya, fam. Enjoy!

E102 - The Steel Path & The Derelict in Veil Proxima Jun 28, 2020

Unlike recent weeks, there was a bit of news to cover this week, as well as an impromptu Home Devstream that provided some details on the forthcoming "Steel Path" addition to Warframe. As this was not a standard Devstream (it was mostly focused on one thing) we decided to cover the Steel Path as one of two discussion topics - the other being a playable derelict we recently found in the Veil Proxima...

They are both great discussions - we'd love to hear your thoughts.

(Beginner topic: Essential mods for beginners; Advanced: Amalgam Javlok Magazine Warp)

E101 - Evolving Weapon Mechanics Jun 21, 2020

Well... we're back at episode 1 again... kinda. Was a little weird to hit 100 episodes, but we're so glad you stuk with us along the way.

While there's still a bunch of downtime at DE due to TennoCon preparations, we took the time to discuss the evolution of weapon mechanics and how we'd like to see them KEEP evolving. Ratchet and Clank style weapons? Why not, I say!

And of course we have all the usual segments to keep you entertained - business as usual for Cephalon Squared!

E100 - Thank you! Jun 14, 2020

It's a huge achievement in and of itself to hit 100 episodes of ANYTHING, let alone 100 consecutive weekly podcast episodes. And more than that? It's an absolutely humbling honour to reach that with an audience that seems to appreciate what we do. So thank you so much, from the bottom of our hearts.

This episode is slightly different from usual - it's long, for one, but we really just had a bunch of fun and invited some of our mods to join us. But it was for you just as much as it was for us, so we covered most of the expected stuff!

E99 - Our Thoughts on the Infested Jun 07, 2020

Woah... Almost 100 episodes of Cephalon Squared! Whether you've been with us for the whole time, or you just started - thank you. We are just as surprised as you are that a couple of Aussies managed to make a Warframe podcast that has managed to last as long as it has. Humbled.

Anyway... this week has kind of sucked... for the whole world, really. It was super quiet, super contentious, and just... overall, super tense.

Digital Extremes was quiet the whole week, which led to ... well, no news, really. But we still managed to fill up the episode with some laughs (and some serious stuff) as well as all the other parts you'd expect. Check it out.

Beginner topic: Ayatan Treasures; Advanced: Amalgam Daikyu Target Acquired)

E98 - Universal Mods and Conclave Rambles May 31, 2020

A quiet week for Warframe news, a quiet week for the Cephalons. But we had a backup crazy topic to discuss, which led to a whole bunch of crazy ramblings about Conclave. We've tried to "fix" PvP before, but dammit, we tried again. Let us know what you think of our ideas!

E97 - Home Devstream #4 May 24, 2020

Yeah! Another Devstream, and this one went into great detail as to what we should be expecting from the new major update, The Deadlock Protocol! Sadly, though, this is likely the last Devstream before TennoCon... but then again, that means TennoCon isn't so far away! Yay!

And just so you know up front... we didn't neglect you this week. Beginner and Advanced Topics are BACK.

E96 - Interview with Pablo! May 17, 2020

This week was a little quiet for Warframe news, but the Cephalons were lucky enough to be joined by a member of the development team - Senior Designer Pablo Alonso!

Pablo is much loved among the community for his quirky videos and his love of cats (not to mention his uncanny ability to put life back into older warframes). More than this though? He's just a pleasure to chat with.

Sit back and enjoy - and let Pablo tell you of the Digital Extremes life.

Lorecast 16 - Leverian: Atlas & Grendel May 14, 2020

Woohoo - another Lorecast! It's been a while, we know - but this time we take our first dive into Leverian lore, with a look at the Lerverian entries for Atlas and Grendel!@ Lots of fun, lots of cool stuff.

Jump in with us.

E95 - Home Devstream #3 May 10, 2020

Another week, another Warframe podcast from Cephalon Squared!

And even better? There was another Home Devstream this weekend, so the trusty Cephalons had plenty to chat about (and yes, this means no beginner and advanced topics this week). There's lots of good stuff in the works, although some of the larger projects have hit delays due to COVID-19. That's to be expected! Overall, a pretty good Devstream (and an even better episode of Cephalon Squared? maybe).

E94 - Railjack Revisited impressions May 03, 2020

Yeehah - DE has delivered on last week's promise of revisions to Railjack, and from first impressions, we are impressed! If the point of these initial revisions is just to make the mode more fun, then the team seems to have ticked the box (while simultaneously making things somewhat easier as well).

For the rest of our thoughts and off-tangent banter (not to forget our weekly beginner and advanced tips) - have a listen!

E93 - Home Devstream 2 Apr 26, 2020

A few weeks without a Devstream... and DE drops a new one on us. This time around, the regular merry crew all join (from their home offices, of course), but the amount of content shown off was incredible.

It touches on a bunch of stuff that yet to come to the game, most of which is coming very soon, but also on what the team is doing to address current criticisms (to a degree).

An absolutely fantastic Devstream this one - we had a good chat about everything - hence we had to forgo the beginner and advanced tips once again this week (and it was still one of our longest episodes).

E92 - Community Guest Dylan! Apr 19, 2020

With the Devstream on hiatus for yet another week, the Cephalons looked to the community to help build this week's episode.

We've got an in-depth discussion with Community Guest Star Dylan Braun in regard to burnout (among many other things), plus a whole bunch of community-driven questions and feedback towards the end.

(Beginner Topic: pickups; Advanced Topic: Advanced Maneuvers)

E91 - The Positivity Episode! Apr 12, 2020

Tough times in the world today - it's a lot of stress for everyone. But on top of that, we have noticed there seems to be a large amount of negativity directed towards Warframe in recent weeks, so we decided to take it upon ourselves to reject this - welcome to the positivity episode!

Discussion - what we love about Warframe

Beginner topic: providing constructive feedback; Advanced: Warframe Stress Test

E90 - Isolation, quarantine, and Cephalon Reset Apr 05, 2020

It was another quiet week in Warframe, and let's face it, isolation means it's quiet for all of us. So we decided to dedicate this episode to isolation, with tips for what players can work towards for both beginner and advanced players!

However, the world did not want this one to go right this week, so... yeah. It took us more than two hours to record an episode less than an hour long. With plenty of mistakes left in to laugh at, I hope this one keeps you entertained during quarantine...

E89 - Home Devstream & Scarlet Spear Mar 29, 2020

The team at Digital Extremes did their best to ensure there was a Devstream this week, even though they are all in lockdown at home. While it wasn't as structured as regular Devstreams, there was still plenty of good info presented.

This week, the Cephalons discuss this info in detail, and also provide their impressions of Scarlet Spear in a double Discussion episode!

E88 - Community Guest Kannibal Kiwi Mar 22, 2020

As the situation around the world just gets crazier by the minute, things aren't changing at Cephalon Squared headquarters. Nope, we aren't going anywhere - can't get rid of us that easily!

This week, while we continue to wait on the release of Scarlet Spear, we are joined by Kannibal Kiwi (aka Cephalon Kiwi) a member of both our Community and CephalonSquared Stream Team, to discuss our hopes and fears for the upcoming release.

E87 - Devstream 140 overview Mar 15, 2020

Coronavirus isn't slowing down the Devstreams, that's for sure! This week saw a whole bunch of in-game assets shown off - some of which we are very much looking forward to. Not the least of which was a live demo of the upcoming Operation: Scarlett Spear. Listen on to hear our thoughts about this soon-to-be-released event.

Sadly, though, TennoCon will only be digital this year, and the team will be working from home, so the virus is affecting the team somewhat. Give them a cheer on your favourite social network to spur them along!

E86 - How would we evolve Warframe? Mar 08, 2020

It's March again, so you know what that means - yep, it's another Warframe Anniversary!

With Warframe hitting 7 years of age, it's starting to get long in the tooth - even as it innovates. But do we think DE would ever make Warframe 2? How would we evolve Warframe? The Cephalons discuss this and more in detail.

Beginner Topic: Anniversary Update for 2020

Advanced topic: Proton Mod Set

Lorecast 15: Erra & Cephalon Cy Mar 05, 2020

It's been a while since our last Lorecast, so here's a reminder - SPOILERS!
Now that that's out of the way, we can discuss this episode's topic - the Erra Prologue, and the story of Cephalon Cy. It's REALLY good stuff - we really enjoyed this discussion. Join us if you're up to date with the story!

E85 - Devstream 139 Mar 01, 2020

There was another Devstream this week, and - unlike previous Devstreams - this one wasn't just about some upcoming new content coming to Warframe...

Nope - this one was actually about fixing some of the stuff that needed to be addressed! Everyone was kind of blindsided by this one - I don't think anybody really expected it. And the changes coming to the game are MASSIVE. Much of what was discussed on the Devstream will be highly transformative, so look forward to it - I know we are!

I definitely recommend tuning in this week - there's so much to talk about.

E84 - Where have Warframe Quests gone? Feb 23, 2020

With news that the next Warframe, Protea, will be a reward for the next Corpus-themed Operation, the Cephalons discuss their thoughts on this. Whatever happened to Warframe quests, and how do they feel now that it looks like we won't be getting more of these kinds of quests anytime soon?

In addition, Cephalon Squared now has a clan emblem in the game! So with that excitement, we discuss emblems, sigils, and glyphs in the beginner topic, and Cephalon Lucas tackles TWO topics this week for Advanced tips!

Get on it!

E83 - Devstream 138 Feb 16, 2020

New Year, New Logo - same old Cephalon Squared! Yes, this week we have a gorgeous new podcast logo, which also means a sexy new emblem for clan members in-game, and, one day... a glyph! Slowly, slowly, good people. Thank you so much to Debby Sheen (@debbysheen_ on Twitter) for her fantastic work - we are blown away by it.

And not only that, but we were blown away by this week's Devstream as well! It was a little different, but the team showed off a bunch of new stuff, plus there were some very worthwhile announcements...

Check it out...

E82 - Lich Changes & Mothhop Feb 09, 2020

The Lich changes that were teased last week were released this week, for better or worse. We welcome Mothhop, a longtime member of the Cephalon Collective, to join us to discuss our thoughts on the new changes, both good and bad. Check it out.
(Beginner's topic: last 4 Star Chart bosses; Advanced topic: Arbitration mods)

Mini 51 - Zephyr Feb 06, 2020

Zephyr - the wind frame. Old windy. Breezeface. Whatever you want to call her, she's all about the wind. And better still? Cephalon Lucas absolutely adores her. Probably best you listen to this one to find out why.

Also... this is our last Mini for a little while. We will spit them out from time to time to cover new frames, but from now on it's the main episodes, and the Lorecasts! Hope you enjoyed our mini series!

E81 - Devstream 137 Feb 02, 2020

Another Devstream, and so another episode chock full of info on upcoming updates to Warframe. The team at DE really went above and beyond this time, with a bunch of rapid-fire announcements and demonstrations one after another. It was a great Devstream, and definitely worth checking in on. If you want to hear our thoughts on what was shown off - have a listen! We had a great old chat this week, plus we covered some great topics with our beginner and advanced tips.

Mini 50 - Wukong Jan 30, 2020

Wukong - The Monkey King! Much like the character from the Chinese saga, Journey to the West, upon which he is based, Wukong is a magical being with wonderous Abilities - so wonderous, in fact, that you would be remiss to overlook him.

Listen on to find out why...

E80 - What's missing from Warframe? Jan 26, 2020

Another quiet week in the world of Warframe... This week, Cephalon's Greg and Lucas decided to have a chat about the current status of the game - what's missing from Warframe in 2020?

Beginner topic: Defeating the first four Planetary bosses.
Advanced topic: Conservation

E79 - Devstream 136 Jan 19, 2020

The team is well and truly back for 2020 - not only has there been a bunch of hotfixes released for PC, but the team got together for the first Devstream of 2020, followed by a 3-hour celebration! It was quite a time (that we were unable to watch in full), but of course we have an overview of the Devstream for you!

Mini 49 - Wisp Jan 16, 2020

Wisp - the ethereal ghost. With Abilities like this, who needs friends? Wisp arrived with The Jovian Concord update and very quickly asserted herself as one of the best frames in the entire game. If you don't have her yet, you should probably look to fix that. Listen in to find out why.

E78 - Streamcast 2 Jan 12, 2020

We hit 100 reviews on iTunes and other platforms, so as promised, we have our second live Streamcast! This one was streamed live on Twitch, so please forgive any strange edits (I tried to cut out any references that required video) or sounds! This was an Ask Us Anything stream, so we had fun with viewer questions, and we were joined by one of our Moderators - the illustrious Doug. Have a listen - it was an absolute blast.

Mini 48 - The Feedbackcast Jan 09, 2020

Thus was supposed to be a mini podcast, but as you can see, it didn't turn out that mini. But it's well worthwhile!

In December, we ran a survey of members of the Cephalon Squared community, and in this first mini of 2020, we decided to go over that feedback, and share it with you, the listener. So if you'd like to hear what other members of the community had to tell us, as well as our responses to this feedback, have a listen! You might be surprised by some of the changes we have in store.

Thanks for your support to date - here's to 2020 and beyond!

E77 - Our Feedback for DE Jan 05, 2020

Given it's the first week of the new year, I'm surprised there was any news at all. Come to think of it... there wasn't really super newsworthy, but there was an announcement or two. Given the quiet time of the year, and our overview of the year's content last week, we decided to provide DE with some constructive criticism this week - a little feedback for how we think the game could be improved.

In addition, we also provide a Beginner and Advanced topic roundup, which we do every 25 episodes or so!

E76 - 2019 in Review Dec 29, 2019

It's... oh... so... quiet! Christmas has come and gone, but 2020 looms upon us larger than ever, and so it was a quiet week in the world of Warframe.

But that doesn't mean the Cephalons get nothing done - hell no! This week, we take a good look at all the content that was released this year, and present our overall thoughts regarding 2019. In addition, we continue our Railjack tips, with both our Beginner and Advanced topics once again touching on aspects of this major new expansion.

E75 - Devstream 135 Dec 22, 2019

With the end of the year looming, Digital Extremes took to the iknterwebs for one last Devstream to close out the year. Devstream was light on any major news, but heavy on acknowledging player feedback. This Devstream was mainly a deep dive into Empyrean and what ti took to get the new expansion released onto (almost) every platform prior to Christmas.

With the team now on holidays, expect a quiet couple of weeks, but we'll stil be here talking all things Warframe!

Mini 47 - Vauban Dec 19, 2019

Vauban - the great engineer. The mighty tactician. He had some trouble with popularity for a while there, but a rework in The Old Blod update saw his toolkit evolve into something that better suited the modern game.

Do we recommend you try out the new Vauban? I guess you'll have to listen to find out!

E74 - EMPYREAN Dec 15, 2019

Wow... what a week! There was plenty of news dropped, as you would expect in the run-up to Christmas, but Digital Extremes took it all one step further and surprised us all by dropping Empyrean on PC during their announcement at The Game Awards! Plus, they dropped Rising Tide on consoles as well!

Thus, this week's episode is all about Empyrean - the good, the bad, the ugly. We've played it A LOT, so we have lots to say, including beginner and advanced topics all about Empyrean. We hope you're as excited as we are.

Mini 46 - Titania Dec 12, 2019

Titania, the Queen of the Fairies. An aptly named frame with the ability to turn herself into a tiny fairy, and fly about environments causing death and destruction, as all good fairies should.

Not only this, but Titania's other Abilities are equally special, allowing her to provide buffs and debuffs, as well as some really effective Crowd Control.

While pretty niche in terms of playtime, there's something here for everyone, provided you put in the effort to learn her Abilities in depth.

E73 - Devstream 134 & Empyrean Dec 08, 2019

It's getting very close to the end of the year, so DE has pulled out all stops for Empyrean, showing off a lengthy demo in Devstream 134. Is it worth watching? You bet your dirty bum, it is.

As a result, this episode involves the Cephalons discussing everything they saw in the demo in detail, and basically fawning over what is essentially Warframe 2.0. And better than that? DE indicated it's likely to hit PC prior to Xmas. Good times indeed.

Mini 45 - Grendel Dec 05, 2019

Set the table and prepare for a feast of gargantuan proportions. Yes, here we tackle the mighty warframe Grendel, who just happens to also be mighty hungry. Able to not only consume his opponents but also to use them either as buffs or projectiles, Grendel makes a formidable foe.

And more than that? He can roll into a ball and crush them should they resist.

Grendel is an extremely tanky frame that also provides buffs for himself and teammates alike. He's a good friend to have on your team. Listen in to find out why.

E72 - Interview with Lucas Schuneman (Nef Anyo/Tyl Regor) Dec 01, 2019

Well, there was no Devstream this week, but we didn't want to leave our listeners wanting more... So we went out and scored an awesome interview! If you missed our interview with Sheryl Mebane (the voice of Nora Night) earlier this year, check it out...

And then follow it up with this one, in which we interview Lucas Schuneman, who voices such fan favourites as Nef Anyo and Tyl Regor, and a lot more besides Warframe! This interview was a lot of fun, and we encourage you to actively seek out his work.

Mini 44 - Ember (U26 rework) Nov 28, 2019

No, it's not deja vu, and yes - we have covered Ember before. However, with the rework that was delivered alongside Update 26, we simply had to update our Ember coverage. So here it is - is she much better now?

TL:DR: hell(fire) yes. Find out why.

E71 - Devstream 133 & Rising Tide Nov 24, 2019

Wow - what a week! First, console players were looking forward to The Old Blood hitting their platform, while the community as a whole was hoping for more information on Empyrean in this week's Devstream.

Not to disappoint the community, DE did one better and dropped the first update for the expansion on PC players!

So this week, we have a LOT to talk about - not only do we need to go over the Devstream itself, but we also need to talk about The Old Blood on console and Rising Tide on PC, among all of the usual banter and topics!

Get excited, Tenno!

Lorecast 14 - The Silver Grove & New Loka Nov 21, 2019

SPOILERS! RUN AWAY SCARED IF YOU ARE YET TO FINISH THE MAIN STORYLINE!

Still here? Good.

In this month's Lorecast, we have a good chat about the quest that gives us Titania - it provides some good background on the origin of Warframes, as well as a few other interesting tidbits besides. In addition, Cephalon Lucas goes over the lore that he could track down in regards to the New Loka faction. Definitely worth a listen, but definitely full of spoilers!

E70 - Hotfixes galore! Nov 17, 2019

Another week goes by in the world of Warframe, and yet again, there was no Devstream... HOWEVER, The Old Blood has gone to certification on all console platforms, so that's a good thing!

It certainly makes me think, though - perhaps DE is delaying the next Devstream because they don't want to jump the gun on the next update before console players have even got their hands on the last one? Kind of feels that way... We can only hope - and with only 6 weeks left in the year, there certainly isn't much time left for DE to deliver on the remaining promises...

In addition, we've got our Beginner topic (the Market) and our Advanced topic (Parazon mods, p1: Hacking mods)!

Mini 43 - Volt Nov 14, 2019

Volt. Electricboy. He's a pretty damned good choice no matter how far you are into the game (and some may argue that he's the best starter)... Have a listen to find out why perhaps you should give him another shot.

E69 - Community Interview with JellyBean1799 Nov 10, 2019

Well, it was a week of PC hotfixes for DE, so there wasn't much news. Thus it was the perfect time to have a chat with one of our strongest and longest supporters - JellyBean1799!

And, of course, we also discuss the week's news and go over our usual beginner (annual holiday events) and advanced (beast companion 60/60 mods) topics.

Mini 42 - Valkyr Nov 07, 2019

Valkyr.

Valkitty. Psycho Kitty.

These nicknames conjure up images of a ball of fury and talons. And it's not far from the truth - Valkyr is these things and more.

What makes Valkyr such a great DPS/melee frame? Well, for one, she's tanky and two - she can self-heal. However, overall, she can be a bit of a selfish choice, as her abilities don't tend to be TOO helpful to other players. Still, she's just a bunch of fun to use, trust us.

Have a listen to find out why.

E68 - The Old Blood Nov 03, 2019

The last two weeks, we've talked about it, but now - FINALLY - we got our hands on it.

The Old Blood has been released on PC.

And it's good.

There's a lot in this update - even just the Kuva Liches is a massive update in itself, but there's so much more to talk about. And now that we've had the chance to play around with it all, we can share our opinions of it all. So much to talk about. So much to enjoy. Get in on it!

Mini 41 - Trinity Oct 31, 2019

If you're looking for a healer, you really can't go past Trinity. Sure, there are other healers in Warframe, but none that are as selfless as Trinity - in truth, she doesn't do much damage and she's pretty squishy, but DAMN. She's a top tier healer.

Scratch that - she's top tier SUPPORT.

Listen on to find out why.

E67 - More detail on The Old Blood Oct 27, 2019

We were hoping that Update 26 would hit PC last week, but sadly, it was not to be. However, DE did the next best thing and showed it off to us in a good amount of detail, while also answering questions from the fanbase. In this week's episode, we discuss what was shown off and whether or not we think these are worthwhile changes and additions! (Beginner topic: Getting Eidolon ready; Advanced: Aero Set mods)

Mini 40 - Saryn Oct 24, 2019

Another popular frame this week, and this time around it's the Queen of Toxicity herself, Saryn! Why do so many long-term players love her for late-game content (particularly Elite Sanctuary Onslaught)? Listen to find out!

TL;DL: she's awesome, that's why.

E66 - Devstream 132 & Melee Phase 2 Oct 20, 2019

Slow news week... Wait - no it wasn't! There was a Devstream this week, and the first Devstream in a while that was REALLY worth being excited about. Don't miss this one - or if you do, go watch the Devstream.

Then come back and listen to us, because we miss you.

Lorecast 13 - Saya's Vigil & The Unum Oct 17, 2019

SPOILERS BEWARE!
Welcome back for another Lorecast! In this episode, we look at the bittersweet love story that is "Saya's Vigil" as well as the bonkers insane story behind the Orokin Tower in Cetus, and the one that resides within... The Unum... Definitely a cool one - check it out!

E65 - Ideas for new game modes Oct 13, 2019

It was a kind of quiet week this week in terms of Warframe news, so we decided to have a chat about what can be done to either improve existing game modes, or even some potential new game modes that can be added to liven things up. We've also got details on our new competitions, so definitely check it out to find out more info!

Mini 39 - Rhino Oct 10, 2019

It's a short and sweet episode this week - there's really not a lot that can be said about Rhino that hasn't been said before! Not only that, but he's a pretty straightforward and simplistic frame - which is one of the reasons he may be more overlooked these days.

E64 - Devstream 131 Oct 06, 2019

After about 6 long weeks of waiting, DE has at last been able to sit down to present another Devstream. In Devstream 131, the team mainly took us through what is expected in the next mainline update, which is due later this month. They did touch a little on larger subjects as well if you are after any more info on Empyrean or The New War! But not much...

Still, it was a worthy Devstream, and the next update looks to be pretty good overall, especially as it will come along with a Halloween event! Have a listen to find out the juicy details.

Mini 38 - Revenant Oct 03, 2019

Revenant - the spooky Eidolon frame. His quest is fun and gives some good insight into the background of the Plains of Eidolon, but more importantly, he's a fun frame that is absolutely ideal for both solo and team play. Seriously, you can't go wrong with Revenant - unless you're trying to do the Tridolon...

Have a listen to why you need to have a Revenant in your stable.

E63 - How much should Devs listen to fans? (with guest xValkyrie93) Sep 29, 2019

We reached out to our community and kicked off something we haven't done for a while - Community Guest Stars! So we have a few guests from our community lined up in the coming weeks. Today, we have xValkyrie93, who brought with him a ripper of a question - how much should devs listen to their fans, and how much should they ignore in favour of making the game THEY want to make? It's a great question, and we have a good old chat... (Beginner topic: Boosters; Advanced topic: Tileset secrets)

Mini 37 - Octavia Sep 26, 2019

Octavia, the musician, the diva... Bardframe. Whatever you'd like to call her, she makes music. And with her sweet, sweet music, your enemies will fall. Quickly.

Seriously, Octavia is pretty amazing, you should get her. But listen to this episode to find out why first.

E62 - Q4 predictions! Sep 22, 2019

With half the team still off on vacation following Tokyo Game Show, it was another quiet week. So we've got a nice, stress-free (for the most part) episode for you this week! We are expecting a Devstream next week (or should I say we are hoping for one?), so we decided to give our predictions for what's to come to Warframe for the rest of 2019!

Mini 36 - Gauss Sep 19, 2019

He may be one of the newest warframe's to hit the game (at the time of recording), and - let's be honest - when he was first unveiled, we initially weren't overly impressed by his abilities.

However, Gauss, the running man, is no slouch in the warframe department. In fact, with the right build, he can effectively be immortal. And did we mention he runs fast? Because he runs fast. FAST.

Terrible German accent: Gauss!

E61 - Revisiting the early game with RavenX99 Sep 15, 2019

With the relative success of the podcast, the Cephalons decided to branch out and play on other platforms - mainly PC and Switch. While they smashed through the content, a member of the CS Discord decided to start out and experience the early game with a different approach in mind.

As a result, we thought it would be a great idea for us all to sit down and have a chat about what we experienced. Thus, we discuss the early game in a fair amount of detail! And even better than that? We brought in a Community Guest to do just that!

Topics:

News: Renown and Esteem packs are out, Saint of Altra gone to cert, some surprises
Discussion: Revisiting the early game with Community Guest RavenX99
Beginner Topic: TOP 5 TIPS ACCORDING TO DISCORD
Advanced Topic: Eximus Enemies

Lorecast 12 - The Limbo Theorem & Maroo Sep 12, 2019

Well, the Cephalons have finished the core storyline in previous Lorecasts, so here was really only one other place to go - warframe sidequests!

In this episode, we look at Limbo's origins in The Limbo Theorem, and we also take a slightly closer look at Maroo, with a possible bonus thrown in for good measure.

E60 - The State of Warframe Sep 08, 2019

With all the recent hullabaloo of certain Warframe Partners leaving the program (but let's not forget the many more that are not), we thought we'd look into why this might be the case based on the state of Warframe as it currently stands - but with a look towards the future. In our beginner topic, we look at hacking and ciphers; and in our advanced topic, we provide an intro to Sorties.

Mini 35 - Oberon Sep 05, 2019

Yes, PaladinFrame himself. Oberon is a damage dealer and healer and all-round good guy. He's... just good. If you haven't tried him out yet, you probably should. Listen to find out why!

E59 - Saint of Altra update Sep 01, 2019

This week, the Cephalons discuss the Saint of Altra update, plus we look at Landing Craft Air support, and Toroid Farming. Not one to miss!

Mini 34 - Nyx Aug 29, 2019

Nyx - the PSYCHIC frame! No,she won't be reading your palms and feeding you generic stories about your future, she'll be confusing your enemies and making them fight for you instead of against you... And trust me, these are good things. For this reason, she's both great CC and amazing DPS, making her very much worth your while.

E58 - Chat with iFlynn Aug 25, 2019

If you've had your head in the sand for the last week or so, you might have missed the news, but popular Warframe Partner iFlynn decided to move away from the game this week. It was big news in the community, and we were lucky enough to have him agree to come on the show for a chat. Check it out - it was a fun discussion.

Beginner topic: gilding; Advanced topic: Strain Set Showcase

Mini 33 - Nova Aug 22, 2019

Nova, the neutron frame. She does weird stuff with blackholes and antimatter. I don't quite understand how or why, but... you know... video games.

Nova is actually a pretty powerful frame that sadly has been shown up a little by more recent frames. That doesn't mean she's not still useful - in fact, she does have specific uses that the community loves to build towards.

Check out our latest mini, and understand why she's worth adding to your arsenal.

E57 - Devstream 130 Aug 18, 2019

In Episode 57, your Cephalons discuss the recent Devstream 130, in which DE showed off Gauss and Grendel, plus some more info on Railjack, Nightwave,and the Disruption game mode. There's a lot of good info here - don't miss out! (Beginner topic: Pains of Eidolon and Orb Vallis, Advanced Topic: Health Regen)

Mini 32 - Nidus Aug 15, 2019

Nidus. This infested, fleshy, kinda gross-looking frame is also quite simply one of the best. Stop reading this, and listen to why you should be out there farming for Nidus (or better yet,it would be quicker to farm the plat to buy him).

E56 - Bring back old events! Aug 11, 2019

In this episode, we cover a few recent listener questions and suggestions, focusing mainly on the suggestin that DE should consider bringing back old events - at least so that thos that missed them can experience the lore. And CephalonLucas has a great idea (if only it didn't reauire so much work to implement)!

Our beginner topic looks at the Disruption game mode, and the advanced topic has a look at more advanced melee techniques - slam attacks and blocking.

Lorecast 11 - Mythcast: Fomorian Aug 08, 2019

We tried something really different in this Lorecast... While we still cover the lore contained within the game, we also take a slight dive into some of the real-world mythology behind the naming conventions. In this case, we look at the Fomorian, and the Balor Fomorian, which come from Irish pre-Christian Mythology. It's really interesting stuff. Let us know your thoughts via the usual channels.

E55 - Dog Days Aug 04, 2019

DE dropped the Dog Days Tactical Alert on us this weekend and it's... different! In some ways, quite good, in others... not so much. The Cephalons have a god old chat about what'sgood and what's bad, with a look at what this might mean for other aspectsof the game. For example, this could be a fun competitive clan activity! Beginner topic: mid-game struggles. Advanced topic: Farmable ephemera.

Mini 31 - Nezha Aug 01, 2019

It's time for the child god himself, young Nezha! Run around on your roller blades leaving fire behind you, why not? Jokes aside, Nezha is pretty good - better than Cephalon Greg's sound quality in this episode (what's up with that)!

Have a listen to why nobody should be disappointedto have a Nezha on their side.

E54 - [DE]Megan guest & Devstream 129! Jul 28, 2019

It's officially a year since we began this journey, and Megan Everett ([DE]Megan) from Digital Extremes joined us in celebration! We had an absolute blast - Megan wasvery pleasant to chat with! We may have gone on a bit long...

Or maybe it's because we had to cover Devstream 129 this week as well? Whatever the reason, butckle up - it's long, but it's good. Promise.

Mini 30 - Nekros Jul 25, 2019

Nekros. Edgelord. Death himself or is it just a phase he's going through? Personally, I think he's worth checking out. Scratch that - everyone needs a Nekros. Listen on to find out why.

E53 - Weapon Evolution in Warframe Jul 21, 2019

With modular weapons in Warframe and a bunch of new passives that we've noticed are warframe-specific, we decided to have a chat about how weapons have evolved over the lifetime of the game, and where we hope things go in the future. It's interesting the way things are going! For our beginner and advanced topics this week, we provide a roundup of all of the topics we have covered since Episode 25, just to get new (and old!) listeners up to speed.

Mini 29 - Mirage Jul 18, 2019

The trickster. The jester herself. Mirage.

This particular warframe has her own special set of Abilities based on tricks of light and illusion. While these Abilities do have some CC aspects, and when combined with certain augments, even some Support elements, she's really a DPS frame at her most basic.

And she's absolutely worth it - listen to find out why.

E52 - TennoCon, part 2 Jul 14, 2019

We covered all the exciting things shown off during TennoLive at TennoCon, but what about the cool stuff shown on other panels? This week the Cephlaons discussed some of the assets revealed on the Art panel, and take a deep dive into Invasions. What are you waiting for?!

Mini 28 - Mesa Jul 11, 2019

It's the gunslinger herself! Unless you've been sleeping under a rock (or perhaps you've just started Warframe, that's also a possibility), you're probably aware that Mesa is considered top tier. But why? Can't all the warframes use guns? what makes Mesa so special?

Well, my friend, listen on to find out!

E51 - TennoCon 2019 Jul 07, 2019

It's that time of year again, when Tenno from all around the world make the pilgramage to London, Ontario, Canada to experience TennoCon, the annual Warframe Fan Conference. Well... those with money at least.

Your Cephalons watched TennoLive so you don't have to. You SHOULD, but you don't have to. Havea listen to what we have to say - it really was a good show this year, yet again!

Lorecast 10 - The Chimera Prologue & Baro Ki'Teer Jul 04, 2019

As always - THERE BE SPOILERS WITHIN.

Avoid at all costs if you are not up to date with the story.

Otherwise... in this episode, we look to get completely up to date prior to the release of The New War!Wecover The Chimera Prologue, The Wolf of Saturn Six AND The Jovian Concord,and there are ALOT of juicy details to get into. I promise.

In addition, with the special TennoCon relay popping up again this weekend,it was also a good opportunity to look at the story behind Baro Ki'Teer.
We loved recording this one - hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
Ahem - one more time... SPOILERS.

E50 - The AUA (Ask Us Anything) Extravaganza! Jun 30, 2019

I'm not sure we ever really thought we'd make it this far when we first started the podcast, but here we are - Episode 50. And, like we had threatened to do, we made this one a livestream, in which our listeners (and viewers) could Ask Us Anything.

We had a hell of a lot of fun with this one - we had more viewers than we expected, and we got a whole bunch of really good, insanely fun questions. Please have a listen, and join in the fun as we enter our 1-year Anniversary celebrations. We're glad to be here, and we're even gladder that you have come along for the ride.

Mini 27 - Mag Jun 27, 2019

Mag - the Magnetic frame - manupulates the battlefieldusing her crazy magnetic abilities. She's a frame that peoplelove to hate, but she doesn't really deserve it all, to be honest. Have a listen to find out our thoughts!
Note: there are audio issues in this episode that I was unable to fix. I'vefigured out where it came from, so it should be prevented in the next episode, but... my apologies.
Note part 2: This episodeis also up on YouTube as ourfirst live recorded podcast video! It's a bit... awkward, but check it out!

E49 - The Great Wukong Rework Jun 23, 2019

At long last, Wukong finally got his rework this week, and boy did DE do a good job. So good in fact, that we felt we had to dedicate this week's discussion topic to it. It's a kind of short episode this week, asit was quiet while we head into the final stretch before TennoCon, but damn... Wukong is so good, we had to talk about it. Also? Next week is our livestream - keep an eye on Facebook and Twitter for details.

Beginner topic: good early frames to chase

Advanced topic: Kitguns pt2, Pax arcanes

Mini 26 - Loki Jun 20, 2019

Loki. The perfect trollframe. But not only is he great for trolling, he's pretty great for a bunch of things, and actually just really easy to understand. If Loki were a real person, he'd just be agood bloke, that likes to have a laugh sometimes. I'd have a beer with Loki.
Anyway. Listen to this episode to find out why he's good.

E48 - Xenogelion Interview Jun 16, 2019

It's week week after E3 and a few weeks before TennoCon, and although there are a bunch of events going down in Warframe, there's not much NEWS. So instead of a bunch of news and discussion, this week we bring you an interview with a Warframe Partner - Xenogelion!

In addition, we look at progression in the early game for our beginner topic, and kitguns for advanced.

Mini 25 - Limbo Jun 13, 2019

Love him or hate him, the dimensional magician Limbo is a powerful force to be reckoned with. Thebiggestissue with his kit is that he can be quite complex to understand. We take the time to break him downso that by the end of this episode, you hopefully will not only understand how to use Limbo, but also how to use him without annoying other players. Because he is pretty damned good in the right hands.

E47 - The Endless Grind Jun 09, 2019

The grind in Warframe - how much is too much, and how does it compare to other games? We discuss this, as wellas how we feel it impacts monetisation and replayability. Beginer topic: Playing Solo; Advanced topic: Sentinels, part 2.

Mini 24 - Khora Jun 06, 2019

Khora. She loves cats. And there's a damned good reason why you should love cats too. (Spoiler: it's because Khora's cat is amazing.) Listen to find out why.

E46 - Community Guest Star (Ironheart) Jun 02, 2019

Beginner topic: Syndicate Standing

Advanced topic: Sentinels, pt 1

Lorecast 9 - The Apostacy Prologue, The Sacrifice, & Ballas May 30, 2019

SPOILERS. I shouldn't need to say this, but I totally need to say this. SPOILERS.
Anyway, that aside, this is a long one, but in my humble opinion, it's one of our best. There is so much awesome lore in these quests that it was exciting just to PLAN for this episode, let alone record it. So listen, and letus know your thoughts, but again - SPOILERS.

E45 - Devstream 128 May 26, 2019

Well... Another day, another Devstream.
Yep - another AWESOME Devstream full of AWESOME things! This was quite the exciting one actually - if you look at what was shown off, it probablywasn't the "busiest" Devstream, but hot damn - DE dropped some smashing artwork on us and we are lost for words.
Beginner topic this week: modding for beginners
Advanced topic: the combo meter

Mini 23 - Ivara May 23, 2019

E44 - Modding Special May 19, 2019

With no Devstream this week, the Cephalons decided to throw a party - a modding party! Yes,it's a modding Special this week, with a focus on early to mid game to help players out there better understand mods. More than that,though, advanced players can get involved in the discussion - are mods getting out of hand?
In addition, the guys have something to say about the future of Cephlaon Squared - get this episode in your ears to find out what that entails.

Mini 22 - Inaros May 16, 2019

Inaros, the Sandframe, is as unkillable as a pile of sand. Go on - try to kill a pile of sand, I'll wait.

...

Couldn't do it, could you?
Anyway,listen to find out why we think Inaros is a great addition to yourstable of must-have Warframes.

E43 - Final thoughts on Nightwave May 12, 2019

Episode 43 coincides with the final few days of Nightwave Series 1, so we decided to have a chat about the Tactical Alert, and whether or not we thought this was a fitting end to the Series. We may or may not also get into a little speculation about what Series 2 may bring...

For this week's tips, we cover Affinity (beginner) and the Kubrow breeds (advanced).

Mini 21 - Hildryn May 09, 2019

Hildryn,the Shield Maiden is easily as tough as she looks. If you've got what it takes to do the grind for her blueprint (the rest of her components are pretty easily acquired), then she's worth it. Have a listen to find out why.

E42 - Devstream 127 recap May 05, 2019

After a few weeks of awesome interviews, we're back with another Devstream! DE tried to cram as much as possible into this one, so there's quite a lot to cover.

Mini 20 - Hydroid May 02, 2019

It's not as straightforward as one might initially think! Beginner topic: trading. Advanced topic: Focus schools part 4 - Zenurik.

Mini 18 - Harrow Apr 11, 2019

Who likes horror? I like horror! Harrow, the Dark Priest himself, also likes horror. At least, I expect he does. This week, we take a look at Harrow, his Abilities, and his augments, and hopefully shine a bit of light onto what is ultimately a complex Warframe.

E38 - Devstream 126 Apr 07, 2019
