On Finally Getting A Damn Yellow Ship Set

Medic 1 Comment , , , ,

I love Sea of Thieves. It’s the only video game that I play lately, outside of Pokemon GO. Admittedly, I’ve kinda gone off gaming in general (hence why this site is no longer updated daily) but pirates are fun and the new content for Reapers is somewhat interesting. I’m also a sucker for buying more and more ships. Most folks just buy a sloop, a brig and maybe a galleon, to have the full set. Me? I buy a new ship as soon as my previous ship has earned a legendary title. One of my more recent ships is Fluffyblade’s… [Continue Reading]

How to Not Join an Alliance in the Sea of Thieves – Part 3

Medic 0 Comments

I’ll be honest, I never thought I’d need to make a Part 3 of this type of article. Somehow, I do. You’d think that alliances would be good fun and even, occasionally, capable of getting you rich. When a ship in an alliance sells loot, everyone else in the alliance gets 50% of the gold earned. But that does require having one thing: an alliance of ships that don’t want to kill each other. Today, we are looking at even more ways to NOT join an alliance, because some people are stupid. Lie that you are a newbie The first… [Continue Reading]

A Really, Really Weird Sea of Thieves Collab

Medic 0 Comments , ,

Sea of Thieves has done a few crossovers over the years. Both Pirates of the Caribbean and Monkey Island make sense for crossovers, as they are pirate-themed. There’s a few smaller collabs, like the Halo crossover (which I think was a Microsoft promotional thing) and, as far as I was concerned, Borderlands was probably the weirdest collaboration, even though I’ve never, ever seen anyone use the ship set. I suppose, at least, the Vault Hunters in Borderlands are kinda pirate-like, looking for a vault full of treasure and stuff. It kinda makes some sense. Most of the time though, these… [Continue Reading]

Welcome Party Is The WORST Special Research

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

Today, I completed step 4/4 of Welcome Party, a Special Research. The research was introduced in October 2023. I finished it at 6:25pm on the 26th of February 2025. And all I got for it was, literally, a t-shirt. Welcome Party was special research which was supposed to introduce us to the Party Play mechanic. And it kinda does do that. Kinda. Actually, no, it doesn’t. Welcome Party just makes you do a billion Party Challenges. And these have to be done with another player our three. It’s literally 1 step of “catch 10 normal types and do 10 party… [Continue Reading]

Mega Gallade Raid Day

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

“Oh hey! Mega Gallade! Mega Gardevoir’s counterpart is finally here! I could maybe use Mega Gardevoir against… Oh… Never mind… Mega Rayquaza is here…” Honestly, this is probably the first raid day where I didn’t care about the shiny at all, I just wanted that juicy, juicy mega energy. A new Mega Pokemon has just come out, Mega Gallade, meaning the pool of remaining unreleased Megas has shrunk to just… 5, I think. Mega Mewtwo X and Y, Sharpedo, Camerupt and Metagross. And since this was a raid day (really, raid three hours), everyone got a bunch of free raid… [Continue Reading]

IT HAPPENED! THE 7TH ISSUE CAME OUT!

Medic 6 Comments , , , , , , ,

IT’S A SMISSMAS MIRACLE! We’ve been waiting for issue 7 of the TF2 comic for 7 damn years. But it’s finally here and you should all go and read it right now. Yeah, seriously, stop reading this article and go and read the comic right now. It’s quite long. Then come back here when you’re done. If you want. No rush. We’ve waited 7 years already for this issue, make the most of it. I’ve already read it like 3 times now. You back? Have you read it? No? Go read it. In the mean time, I’m going to tell… [Continue Reading]

Necrozma Raid Day

Medic 0 Comments , ,

Oof my luck. I think Necrozma hates me. Okay, I do love me my raid days. And since this season’s bonuses includes 2 orange raid passes a day, you could squeeze out 8 free raids. Normally though, I get a shiny, and with raid days, the chances are apparently 1/10. So I made the mistake of buying raid passes. After 21 raids, the best I got was one 14/15/14 Necrozma, and a 2-star XXL Necrozma. No shinies, none with decent IVs. Also managed to get a 10/10/19 one. And it sucked knowing everyone else was getting shinies – I can… [Continue Reading]

To Be Honest, This Go Wild Event Is Kinda Boring

Medic 0 Comments , , , , ,

I kinda understand why we have the Go Wild event. It feels like a stop-gap between the massive Go Fest event in the summer, and the regional tours in spring. But this Go Wild event kinda doesn’t really have much going for it, apart from Toxel and Toxtricity. And even then? It’s… it’s just eh. I suppose it’s better if you buy the ticket for the event. You get extra stuff. Some raid passes, some Max Particles. Things like that. Nothing mind-blowing though. You do get a Toxtricity and extra candy and half hatch distance, but Toxtricity is all over… [Continue Reading]

Uve Uve Mara – The Lotus Eaters OST

Medic 0 Comments

A lot of stuff has happened in Warframe lately, and it’s all coming to a head in Warframe 1999, which comes in December. And no, I still haven’t worked out how to tastefully discuss what happened in Jade Shadows. But one thing has stuck out to me lately, and it’s the soundtrack from the Lotus Eaters update. While yes, the Lotus Eaters ‘quest’ was more akin to the three mini quests before the New War (and only takes like 2 minutes to complete, excluding loading times), there’s something about the login screen music that tells far, far more than the… [Continue Reading]

The Impossible-to-Access Zanuka Mission

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

Zanuka sucks. It really does. “Skip into the night, where all the stars are bright… We’re back again to do this, and we’re gonna do it right…” “You know that’s a song sung by Infested, right?” Nidus pretended that he hadn’t jumped in surprise, but he’d clearly failed miserably, as Wisp giggled at him. However, Chroma crossed his arms and tutted, blatantly unamused by Nidus’s singing. “Damn, I thought I’d come here alone!” Nidus exclaimed. “Just wanted to do a quick exterminate to calm my nerves before I take on whichever Archon has cropped up again.” “That still doesn’t explain… [Continue Reading]
