E114 - Home Devstream #6
20 september 2020 · 1 uur 11 min
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. Lees meer
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
13 september 2020 · 58 min
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. Lees meer
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
6 september 2020 · 1 uur 5 min
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. Lees meer
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
30 augustus 2020 · 1 uur 24 min
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. Lees meer
-
E110 - TennoGen Runway: Round 19
23 augustus 2020 · 1 uur 14 min
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! Lees meer
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
16 augustus 2020 · 1 uur 39 min
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. Lees meer
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?
9 augustus 2020 · 1 uur 7 min
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? Lees meer
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
2 augustus 2020 · 1 uur 14 min
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. Lees meer
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
26 juli 2020 · 1 uur 8 min
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! Lees meer
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
19 juli 2020 · 53 min
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... Lees meer
Let us know your thoughts!
-
E104 - Community Guest NotCultGuy
12 juli 2020 · 1 uur 7 min
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. Lees meer
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?
5 juli 2020 · 53 min
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. Lees meer
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
28 juni 2020 · 1 uur 1 min
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... Lees meer
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
21 juni 2020 · 1 uur
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. Lees meer
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!
14 juni 2020 · 1 uur 30 min
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. Lees meer
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
7 juni 2020 · 56 min
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. Lees meer
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
31 mei 2020 · 1 uur 2 min
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! Lees meer
-
E97 - Home Devstream #4
24 mei 2020 · 58 min
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! Lees meer
And just so you know up front... we didn't neglect you this week. Beginner and Advanced Topics are BACK.
-
E96 - Interview with Pablo!
17 mei 2020 · 1 uur 22 min
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! Lees meer
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
14 mei 2020 · 27 min
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. Lees meer
Jump in with us.
-
E95 - Home Devstream #3
10 mei 2020 · 56 min
Another week, another Warframe podcast from Cephalon Squared! Lees meer
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
3 mei 2020 · 1 uur 13 min
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). Lees meer
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
26 april 2020 · 1 uur 15 min
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. Lees meer
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!
19 april 2020 · 1 uur 15 min
With the Devstream on hiatus for yet another week, the Cephalons looked to the community to help build this week's episode. Lees meer
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!
12 april 2020 · 59 min
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! Lees meer
Discussion - what we love about Warframe
Beginner topic: providing constructive feedback; Advanced: Warframe Stress Test
-
E90 - Isolation, quarantine, and Cephalon Reset
5 april 2020 · 52 min
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! Lees meer
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
30 maart 2020 · 1 uur 4 min
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. Lees meer
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
22 maart 2020 · 1 uur 2 min
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! Lees meer
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
15 maart 2020 · 1 uur 3 min
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. Lees meer
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?
8 maart 2020 · 1 uur
It's March again, so you know what that means - yep, it's another Warframe Anniversary! Lees meer
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
5 maart 2020 · 33 min
It's been a while since our last Lorecast, so here's a reminder - SPOILERS! Lees meer
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
1 maart 2020 · 1 uur 4 min
There was another Devstream this week, and - unlike previous Devstreams - this one wasn't just about some upcoming new content coming to Warframe... Lees meer
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?
23 februari 2020 · 59 min
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? Lees meer
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
16 februari 2020 · 58 min
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. Lees meer
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
9 februari 2020 · 59 min
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. Lees meer
(Beginner's topic: last 4 Star Chart bosses; Advanced topic: Arbitration mods)
-
Mini 51 - Zephyr
6 februari 2020 · 26 min
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. Lees meer
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
2 februari 2020 · 1 uur 5 min
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. Lees meer
-
Mini 50 - Wukong
30 januari 2020 · 26 min
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. Lees meer
Listen on to find out why...
-
E80 - What's missing from Warframe?
26 januari 2020 · 56 min
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? Lees meer
Beginner topic: Defeating the first four Planetary bosses.
Advanced topic: Conservation
-
E79 - Devstream 136
19 januari 2020 · 1 uur 2 min
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! Lees meer
-
Mini 49 - Wisp
16 januari 2020 · 24 min
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. Lees meer
-
E78 - Streamcast 2
12 januari 2020 · 1 uur 18 min
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. Lees meer
-
Mini 48 - The Feedbackcast
9 januari 2020 · 1 uur 6 min
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! Lees meer
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
5 januari 2020 · 1 uur 1 min
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. Lees meer
In addition, we also provide a Beginner and Advanced topic roundup, which we do every 25 episodes or so!
-
E76 - 2019 in Review
29 december 2019 · 1 uur 21 min
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. Lees meer
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
22 december 2019 · 58 min
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. Lees meer
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
19 december 2019 · 23 min
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. Lees meer
Do we recommend you try out the new Vauban? I guess you'll have to listen to find out!
-
E74 - EMPYREAN
15 december 2019 · 1 uur 28 min
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! Lees meer
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
12 december 2019 · 26 min
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. Lees meer
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
8 december 2019 · 1 uur 17 min
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. Lees meer
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.
