Cephalon Squared: A Warframe Podcast

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 mo...

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.

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 Dev...

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. Defi...

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...

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.

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.

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. S...

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 t...

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.

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...

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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 n...

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.

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 questio...

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.

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!

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 Ge...

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. Th...

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. 

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.
