Wondering if Shadow Pokemon are Worth it?

On the 14th of March, there was a Beldum incense event. Much like the Mareep one we had earlier this year, you could get Beldums from incense. It was basically a mini, secondary Community Day, but kinda worse. But, on the plus side, it was another chance to get Meteor Mash on Metagross. Which meant I didn’t have to wait months to evolve my 100% Shadow Beldum. Using the candy I got from the event, I powered up my 100% Shadow Metagross. I powered it to the same CP as my 100% Purified Metagross. However the costs were pretty high.… [Continue Reading]

The Three Worst Team Rocket Grunts

While I do enjoy battling Team Rocket Grunts, some of them are definitely better than others. Most grunts will go down pretty quickly, some will put up a fight. All of them wonder why you beat them, despite using Pokemon with a universal weakness. I’ve discussed the best Team Rocket Grunt, a poor guy with nothing but Magikarps. In today’s article though, I want to talk about the three worst Team Rocket Grunts. Boy, are these guys a pain in the ass… The Same Psychic Type Over and Over. There’s only one male grunt on this list. But, coming in… [Continue Reading]

Chirp

Chirp is one of the many music discs that can be found in Minecraft. Unfortunately, it’s not easy to obtain. While you can get some discs easily, the majority are hard to find. Cat and 13 can be found in dungeons, while Pigstep can be found in Bastions. The other discs (unless you’re on Bedrock edition) are a pain: they only drop from Creepers killed by skeletons. Getting skeletons to kill Creepers can generally be quite tricky, unless you spend ages setting up a farm. But who has time for that? Chirp is probably my favourite music disc. Out of… [Continue Reading]

An MR4 Volt’s Little Adventure

The other night, I was playing Warframe. It was way past my bedtime, but I was in voice chat on one of the discord servers I frequent. Things were good, I was doing fissures. Two of the people I was chatting with jumped into Warframe too. One of them wanted to farm Khora. The other one had nothing better to do and neither did I. So we headed to Sanctuary Onslaught. What happened next was a little… too wholesome. For once, this is about a Volt that isn’t me. Okay, sure, I was playing Volt at the time, but this… [Continue Reading]

Rest in Peace, Oberon Parts for Credits

The one time I’m busy and preoccupied with other stuff, a Warframe update hits. This one has been worked on for a while, and is basically completely and utterly reworking Railjack. Not only do we get the Corpus stuff we were originally teased with, but we’re getting a lot of “QOL” stuff too. However, the thing I want to address is another, related change in the Railjack Refitted update. Oberon parts no longer drop from Eximus Enemies. This is a pretty mind-blowing change. For someone old like me, it’s going to be insane, no longer having a cache of Oberon… [Continue Reading]

Rest in Peace, Gian Point

Well done, Tenno, we have managed to kill an entire node. With the new Railjack update, it seems that Gian Point has been removed. An entire node has been deleted, because people were using it too much. Somehow, despite their numbers, the Grineer are giving up. As of writing, I don’t know if they’re flat out deleting it or not. But wow, this is… an interesting path. “Wait, what IS Gian Point?” Gian Point is (or was) a mission in the Veil Proxima. It’s a Railjack Skirmish mission with a simple task: Destroy enemy ships and crew ships. It has… [Continue Reading]

Playing Anything But A Real Pokemon Game – A Pokemon Clicker Thing?

These days, most people use things like Discord or Steam to chat. If they don’t, they use something like Reddit. Either way, these platforms generally have a rather one-way discussion. Sure, you get threads on Reddit, but the ones you see are heavily curated by everyone else. By default, you only see the most popular threads, and conversations travel in one direction. More importantly though, aside from maybe a profile picture, there’s very little customization. You have one font, images as links and a handful of emoji and that’s it. This is a stark contrast to the old days of… [Continue Reading]

3 Ways K-Drives Could Be More Cool

K-Drives are cool. They’re giant hover boards used by two kinds of future orphan kids. You can do tricks on them and drive-by shootings. Yet, somehow, people don’t seem to use them. Despite being so cool, K-drives don’t see that much use. However, we can easily fix this. All we need are a few tweaks. Here are three easy ways that K-Drives could be made so much cooler. 1. Make them faster K-Drives are fast, but they’re not that fast. They’re never going to beat Archwings when it comes to speed. After all, Archwings can fly over mountains and things… [Continue Reading]

Who Actually Plays Pokemon GO with Sound on?

The other day, I was having a bit of trouble with Pokemon GO. For some reason, it wouldn’t believe I was connected to the internet or had access to GPS. So I decided to reinstall the app on my phone. Of course, doing so reset all my settings. So all the sound effects and music, which I normally have turned off, all turned back on. Damn, this game is loud. Like, really loud. Every single tap of the screen seems to produce a noise. It’s very, very distracting. The sounds also make it super obvious what you are doing. Sure,… [Continue Reading]

The Best Team Rocket Grunt

Team Rocket Grunts come in a bunch of different forms. Generally, they are male or female and have Pokemon based on their type. You can generally guess what Pokemon they’ll have based on the line or pun they spout when you challenge them. When you defeat a grunt, they’ll scurry off and leave one of their Pokemon behind. Grunts seem to change on a regular basis. Well, I say that, the grunts themselves stay the same. No matter what Pokemon they have, they’ll spew the same old puns and one-liners. And they’ll always abandon one of their Pokemon at the… [Continue Reading]
