Prestige Nightwave Levels Are So Boring

May 31, 2021May 25, 2021 Medic 0 Comments nightwave

Nightwave seems cool at first. You do things, get points and get rewards. At level 30, you get something REALLY cool. After that though? Well… you get prestige levels. These prestige levels reward 15 Nightwave credits for each one you reach and that’s about it. Actually, sometimes you don’t even get the credits. In previous Nightwaves, people have hit Prestige levels 60, 90 and 120 and ended up stuck. But the rewards for even getting that far are pretty damn mediocre. Why do people keep on going after hitting level 30, and how can we make it better? All you… [Continue Reading]

HUNDOom

May 30, 2021May 24, 2021 Medic 1 Comment houndour, pokemon go

I don’t know why I like Houndour and Houndoom so much. There’s something weirdly cool about the angry, demonic Pokemon dogs. I’ve rambled in the past about Houndour. After all, the shiny is adorable, but it took me ages to get one. I now have several, and I love them all equally. Actually, that’s not true. I love Flaffle! the most, because Flaffle! is a lucky, shiny Houndour that I made into a Best Buddy. However, there are a few other Houndours I haven’t managed to catch. Sure, a shiny Houndour is cool, but you have a 1 in 450… [Continue Reading]

On Being Physically Unable To Play Overwatch

May 29, 2021May 23, 2021 Medic 3 Comments headache, overwatch, pain

Overwatch has always felt off to me. Somehow, it is both still new but also really old. At the same time. And while I wouldn’t call it a spiritual successor for Team Fortress 2, Overwatch has done some pretty cool things. It has a unique e-sports scene, a ton of heroes and a pretty fair model for lootboxes. And the gameplay is somewhat reminiscent of a chaotic TF2 server. Yet, unfortunately, I have never been able to experience any of this. I literally can’t play Overwatch. I promise, I’ve tried. As of writing, I even have Overwatch installed. But I… [Continue Reading]

The Best Ways to get Experience in Pokemon GO

May 28, 2021May 22, 2021 Medic 0 Comments exp, experience, guide, level up, pokemon go

The grind for experience in Pokemon GO is absolutely huge. Each level costs more and more experience. In fact, the grind from level 1 to level 35 is about the same as the grind from level 36 to level 39. Level 40 and onwards, you need HUGE amounts of experience, to the point that only the most dedicated players will ever reach level 50. Thankfully, there are some ways to get large chunks of experience. It’s a very slow journey that requires a lot of dedication. But with these tips, you should be able to get EXP a little more… [Continue Reading]

I Hate Lesser Wisps

May 27, 2021May 21, 2021 Medic 0 Comments lesser wisp, rant, Risk of Rain 2, ror2, wisp

As bad as I am at Risk of Rain 2, I can at least admit that the designs are mostly fair. The reason I’ve never unlocked an alternate skin is because I need to get better at the game. That’s fine. That’s all on me. And, to my credit, I am trying and I am getting a bit better. I managed to obliterate myself at an obelisk the other day. In fact, I’m also getting closer to beating Mythrix. Have still only beaten him once though. That being said, there’s one single enemy that I REALLY hate. The Lesser Wisp… [Continue Reading]

The 5 Best Pokemon to use Elite TMs on

May 26, 2021May 20, 2021 Medic 0 Comments elite charge tm, elite fast tm, elite tm, pokemon go

Elite TMs are pretty rare. Even if you play every season of the Go Battle League, you won’t get many. You are basically restricted to one per season. As it stands, there are only two reliable ways of getting Elite TMs of any type. The Go Battle League rewards one per season, alternating between Charge and Fast TMs. And Community Day boxes tend to contain a TM, generally based on whatever the Community Day move is. Elite TMs are also very rarely given out in limited or special research tasks, as well as paid events. On the flip side, events… [Continue Reading]

Somehow a Team Rocket-Themed Event is Bad?

May 25, 2021May 21, 2021 Medic 0 Comments dark type, event, pokemon go, team rocket

Followers of the Daily SPUF will probably recognize two things about me. Firstly, I use a yellow Volt a lot. But secondly, I really like Team Rocket fights in Pokemon GO. There is something cathartic about kicking grunts in the groin and stealing their Pokemon. Wait… that’s what they’re supposed to be doing to us. Either way though, grunt fights are fun, and I always enjoy events that spawn more of them. However, the Luminous Legends Y event has me questioning that. Somehow, this Team Rocket event is bad. Actually, that sentence is wrong in two ways. Firstly, this isn’t… [Continue Reading]

5 Tasty Pancake Recommendations

May 24, 2021May 18, 2021 Medic 0 Comments cake, cooking, pancake, recommendation, spuffood, tip, tips and tricks

The pancake is a weirdly deceitful dish. Despite being made of simple ingredients, they are oddly hard to cook. TV chefs make pancakes look easy. All you do is throw some batter in a pan, flip it and boom, pancake. But in reality, pancakes are crazy beasts that take on many shapes and forms. It’s all too easy to mess up a pancake. Luckily, there are ways to improve pancakes that don’t involve too much hassle. Take your time The first big step to making pancakes that are edible is to take your time. There’s no need to rush a… [Continue Reading]

Junglers in MOBAs seems like the most depressing role in a game ever

May 23, 2021May 17, 2021 Medic 0 Comments jungler, moba, ramble

Every multiplayer game generally tends to split players into different roles. MMOs are best known for splitting into DPS, Tank and healer roles. In MOBAs, the roles are often caked directly into the game, with very little overlap. You pick an ADC, you play as an ADC, for example. However, there’s one particular role that has always confused me: the humble Jungler. A quick preamble though. Before I start talking about this role, I have to point out that I’m not very good at MOBAs. Nor do I really play them any more. Despite the fact I’ve fumbled around in… [Continue Reading]

Timed Research Needs Better Rewards

May 22, 2021May 20, 2021 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, ramble, rant, research

We’ve had a lot of events lately, pretty much one after the other. As of writing, we are in a Luminous Legends event. There was one for Xerneas and one for Yveltal. Both these events and the ones before them came with timed research. This research worked the same way as special research except it’s, well, timed. But despite the rush to complete them, the rewards are always… kinda lame. Let’s look at the Luminous Legends X event as an example. The only good rewards were at the end. Luminous Legends X was a longer event than normal. It ran… [Continue Reading]
