Adventures On… Not the Stormcloud?

Normally, when we play Sea of Thieves, we sail on Stormcloud, one of Bacxaber’s three ships. Occasionally we’ll sail on my Little Stormcloud, a brig, or if Fox is around, we’ll sail on one of his five billion different ships, all of which are unique. But lately, we’ve been taking out some of my other ships. The other day, we got to sail on my sloop, The Daily SPUF, but recently, we played with one of Bacxaber’s old friends, a guy called Lego, who hadn’t played Sea of Thieves for over a year, and even then, they were still very… [Continue Reading]

On Three-Manning A Galleon

In Sea of Thieves, having less than the recommended number of players on a ship doesn’t always work. On a sloop, you can get away with being just one person mostly because sloops are deceptively tanky, they take a lot of chainshot to break their mast and their anchor can be raised super fast, even with just one person. With brigs and galleons though, the amount of bucketing needed to keep a ship afloat is a LOT greater than a sloop, so being down a man is a massive handicap. You also can’t make use of the extra cannons, the… [Continue Reading]

Another Awesome Adventure on the Stormcloud

Sometimes, we don’t play as Reapers when we play Sea of Thieves. Sometimes, we want to do other stuff. For example, Bacxaber, Fox and I wanted to do Merchant Emissary missions in order to level up our ledger. The ledger can give out some pretty nice rewards, and these tend to rotate on the regular. To get all the rewards, you need a certain amount of emissary value, which can be obtained by raising an emissary flag and selling loot for whatever faction you decide to join. This time round, we were doing Merchants, specifically Lost Shipments. Most of this… [Continue Reading]

A New Sea of Thieves Adventure: A Dark Deception

I don’t normally get a chance to do adventures in the Sea of Thieves. Often, by the time I am available to play these adventures, everyone else has already done it, and I don’t want to drag people into doing things again for me. Sure, some can be done by playing solo, and A Dark Deception, the newest adventure as of writing, is easy enough. But was A Dark Deception any good? Adventures are a one-off event. A Dark Deception will available to play for the next two weeks, before it disappears forever. Really, they are pretty stupid with how… [Continue Reading]

A Warm Welcome Back to the Sea of Thieves

A while back, I kinda stopped playing Sea of Thieves, or any games in general. All I played was Pokemon GO. When it comes to Sea of Thieves in particular, a single gameplay session can end up being rather long. I just didn’t have the stamina for hours of gaming. But after a day of almost binge-watching my friend Bacxaber’s Sea of Thieves videos, I decided that I needed to get back into playing Sea of Thieves again. So I asked Bacxaber if he was available to play and he said yes. That evening, we got on a sloop, then… [Continue Reading]

A Story About My Uncle

After playing Just Cause 2, I had a bit of a grappling hook addiction. It was ended by Mannpower Mode in TF2, but before that I was still looking for games to scratch that grappling hook itch. I can’t remembered how I first came across this game. I got it as a gift from my IRL friend for Christmas (I think, it’s been some time), and I spent a fair bit of time playing around when I got it. Recently, I saw it again while looking through my Steam library for something to play (I know I know, first world… [Continue Reading]

Papo & Yo

Papo & Yo is one of those great games I never hear anyone actually talk about. You play as Quico, exploring the beautifully authentic South American favela with the twist that it can be manipulated and transformed in any way Quico likes via the power of his imagination. Suddenly this downtrodden environment bursts into life with the whimsical, upbeat charm it so desperately needs. This makes for such a unique space to play in and it’s so far from anything I’d ever seen or explored previously that it was automatically magnetic to me. Then there’s the big fella you’ll be… [Continue Reading]

Building a new friend for Volt Prime

In Warfame, you’re just some person with a collection of scary, metal suits. But in my head, each suit is actually an individual character with their own personalities, which you may have spotted in some of my recent Warframe fan fictions. Of course, the sort of person that I am, I realised that while my beloved Volt has a buddy in Frost, my precious Volt Prime has no friends at all. I needed Frost Prime. Problem is, Frost Prime is pretty rare. He was ‘vaulted’ (i.e. retired) a long time ago. Then December 2016 came along and Frost Prime, alongside… [Continue Reading]
