Sea of Thieves is a very pretty game

June 30, 2022June 25, 2022 Medic 0 Comments graphics, pretty, sea of thieves

Normally, when I play Sea of Thieves, it’s really late at night. The crew I play with are all terrifying pirates that strike fear into both Sea of Thieves players and Team Fortress 2 players at the same time. They are all also people who live far away from me, in Canada and the US. So time zones, as you can imagine, are awful. Still, it’s worth staying up to play with them. As the hours fly by, I get more and more tired, to the point that I can only just follow instructions. In order to try and stay… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays A Real Pokemon Game for the First Time – Part 9

Last time I was here, I was avoiding Hop before reaching the next gym. I went off to catch some more Pokemon. After a semi-useful catching spree, I decide to go back and fight Hop. And, just like last time, I beat him with ease. To his credit though, he made one of my Pokemon faint. This is also the first time I saw a new Pokemon that had an entire fucking Pikachu trapped in its mouth. Gross. Anyway, with Hop out of the way, I can properly visit the gym here. It’s a ghost type gym, which would normally… [Continue Reading]

I smell a plot. It’s about time, but I think there might actually be some plot heading my way. I’ve just appeared in Hammerlocke, after having run through the wild. Luckily, I got through, but my party were not at all in one piece. Half my team got wiped by a single Gyarados that I attempted to fight, and I had to kill a lot of mid-level Pokemon to get to the city. Once I was there though, I noted how cool the place looked. After all, it’s a giant dark castle, and the entrance was a dragon’s head. Apparently… [Continue Reading]

Today, I’m going to be getting the fire badge! And where is the fire gym located? Back in Motostoke! Can we just get a sky taxi to go back there? We can! But the game wants me to go through this mine. Mostly for plot reasons. The first thing I see in said mine is Bede, the trainer that was endorsed by Rose. And of course, he wants to fight. Luckily, I manage to nuke all his Pokemon. Including his Galarian ponyta. Out of instinct, I actually brought out a water type, thinking that this Ponyta was a fire type.… [Continue Reading]

The Nicest Community Day Ever

When it comes to Community Days, lately, most of them have been meh at best. However, in a bid to make lots of money and get people outside, June’s Community Day was Deino, the dark and dragon type Pokemon. A pseudo-legendary Pokemon with a lot of bite and a great special move. Turns out, if you have an interesting Pokemon for community day, then people turn up. Actually felt like a Community Day A good Pokemon and people out to catch it. Deino’s day ticked a lot of boxes. We got a cool, rare shiny on a cool, rare Pokemon,… [Continue Reading]

A Brief Interlude Where Medic Talks About Pokemon Shield So Far

I must admit, I’ve been getting carried away with all this Pokemon stuff. It’s all such a genuinely new experience for me. But today, I am taking a break from playing, so I can discuss my thoughts so far. Granted, I’ve only beaten a quarter of the gyms, and am still running around like an idiot, but I’ve been making process and slowly getting the hang of how Pokemon works. It’s alright. Funnily enough, turns out I don’t have much to say about the game. I like wandering around and catching Pokemon, and I like the Pokemon battles. The Pokemon… [Continue Reading]

Last time round, I managed to get the Grass badge. And this time, I’m very quickly gunning towards the Water badge. Before I do that though, I decide to level myself up a little bit. Milo’s Pokemon were a higher level than mine, and I’m pretty sure whatsherface’s Pokemon will be level 20 or higher. I also decide to go shopping before making my way to water town. It’s always good to have plenty of potions and pokeballs. However, as I head down to the next down on my freshly ‘borrowed’ bike, I run into Hop again. And he wants… [Continue Reading]

Rest Well, Ringo

Today, a bright and sunny Thursday, 23th July, our poor cat Ringo was put to sleep. You may remember Ringo from an article a long time ago, talking about his life. We also had a April Fools blog post where Ringo took over the website for a bit. Ringo is one of the two cats I’ve ever owned and, once he became a family member, he was accepted and grew up to have a happy life. Unfortunately, his life was recently cut short, due to cancer. He was ill, he was tired and he was refusing to eat. Ringo knew… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays A Real Pokemon Game for the First Time – Part 5

We start off Part 5 of this dumb adventure by grinding some more. I am due to face Milo, the Grass-type leader, but I have only one fire type. Yes, it’s a Growlithe, one of my favourites, but he’s lacking in levels. So after a quick grind to get Gruffle the Growlithe to level 15, I head over to the massive Turffield Stadium to challenge the gym leader. Once there, I put on my special challenger cloths and go through the doors to the gym. Before I do anything though, I have a “Grass challenge” I need to do. Basically,… [Continue Reading]

Who likes cut scenes? I do! Actually, I kinda don’t. Which is a shame because I’m going to be sitting through one. I’m now in Motostoke, and we have to go to the arena for some sort of opening ceremony. Before we can do that though, there’s a list of chores that need doing. We need to book into the hotel and get our special costumes fitted. It seems that every challenger has to wear a costume with a number on it, so of course I chose my lucky number to be 666. The opening ceremony starts the next day,… [Continue Reading]
