Cephalon Squared: A Warframe Podcast

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!

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...

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...

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

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!

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...

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, s...

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!...

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)

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 enjoye...

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, pl...

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...

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

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!

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.

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 -...

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 t...

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....

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...

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...

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!

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,...

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...

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 likel...

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...
