The newest hype of the 3rd person co-op shooter game Warframe; Th Planes of Eidolon (POE), is an expansion of the Warframe series which makes the game an MMORPG turns it into a vast open-world setting which covers the mechanics of the previous expansions of Warframe (archwing, trading and bounties), also adding new features such as fishing, forging of weapons, hunting, and mining. This makes it more interesting due to the various level outputs of the opponents scattered across the map. With this expansion it garnered such recognition world wide and had an increase of players by October 2017.

Warframe(2012) is a 3rd Person shooter game made by Digital Extremes (DE) which adapted the same concept of DE’s first game darkSectors(2008), as both games entails various factions trying to outdo one another after a devastating war resulting the decimation of the Tenno Faction. It gives the players a variety of characters to choose from, depending on the style you play, may it be support, front, tank, healer or mid. The game is also free to play, also being connected to the Steam Community giving the game a much open game play, giving it more data to use on various gaming events.

The POE expansion gives the veteran players a chance to do something to do other than grinding to increase Mastery Rank(MR) and experience the wonders of fishing! And to raid the opposing faction to reclaim the area of the people of Eidolon, giving the players also to mingle in the town of Eidolon to also use the new feature, forging, but it only limits to the melee weapons, and to acquire such feature, is to also finish the prerequisite of the previous expansion (The War Within and The Second Dream). Though with such features come the price to play the expansion, like the data usage of 3.2 GB for the POE expansion, and the tiring grind to solve the said prerequisite above.

The POE expansion of Warframe may be one of DE’s crowning success in the Warframe series, and that the players are given the chance to do much more in the game giving them the feeling of a more direct approach to the MMORPG type of setting for this expansion pack. I would highly recommend to play the game but with a computer much more equipped for such a massive update in the game.

Comedy.

Stand-up Comedy, where comedians would rely on the live audience impact, where they could entertain and make fool of themselves. Various comedians have shown quite a impact to their audience by words alone, but some of the comedians that went beyond and did an extra mile to further deepen the interaction, which gave a better synergy and livened up the impact and it made an impression to their audience, though it may be explicit at most.

Bo Burnham has a unique way of presenting himself to the crowd, his approach is more of a musical approach and realistic approach on his jokes, he does not sugar coat majority of his jokes regardless if its scripted to the letter, he gives his audience a more satirical and self-deprecative type of humor to his audience where he would point out his own faults and use it as medium to connect to his audience and that showing that he is human, he makes mistakes, in which builds a connection between Bo and his audience can relate to.

Jeff Dunham a puppeteer and comedian known for the use of puppets such as Achmed, Jose Jalapeno, Bubba J., He uses these puppets as a way to connect to his audience as similar to Bo who uses music as a medium. Jeff Dunham was known for creating such surreal scenarios in which were amplified by the use of the puppets in their respective themes, though it may seem a bit racist, the impact is still there, similar to Bo’s racial jokes, its pure slapstick comedy as Jeff interact with the puppets which seems to gain life and personality, giving Jeff a unique act to his audience.

Bo Burnham and Jeff Dunham have unique ways to connect to their audience may it be musically inclined or the use of props, they project their lives in such acts that could relate and entertain their audience. They would make such comical acts in front of the audience and preform regardless of the criticism. While both comedians have contrasting styles on how they would deliver the jokes, their impact on the audience, the message that embeds in the minds of the audience and the expression of their acts are on the level of their own which separates them from others.
