On The Jetpack Social Plugin

by
Angry Cat

Jetpack is a plugin that has been tied to WordPress for a very long time. It’s got a bit of everything in it. I personally use Jetpack to see website stats, like how many people have viewed our website, and to see which articles are popular. However, the other big thing I use Jetpack for is Jetpack Social. Jetpack Social allows you to post to different platforms whenever you make a new post. This plugin would post to Facebook and Tumblr, and can also post to Linkedin as well. It used to post to Twitter as well, but that stopped… [Continue Reading]

What Should We Use Elite TMs on?

by
Genesect, a mechanical insect Pokemon nearly as good as Scizor

Elite TMs are rare and valuable. They give Pokemon access to special and unique moves when they’d otherwise be unavailable. While you can spend €15 once a month to get an Elite TM, most cases of obtaining Elite TMs are rare, or require a lot of patience. You can get a free Elite TM by playing in the GO Battle League, but you need to wait for a season to finish to get your hands on another. On the other hand, there are generally a LOT of Pokemon that need an Elite TM. For example, back in February, Groudon and… [Continue Reading]

The Three Best Companions

by
Arkadin the Smeeta Kavat

There are quite a lot of companions in Warframe. As you start out, you are gifted with the Taxon, a small sentinel that helps you out and keeps your shields happy. As you play more though, you realize that there are not just floating robots. One quest gives you a Kubrow, a dog companion, and over time, you can also get cats, robotic dogs, mechanical emus, three types of infested Kubrow and Kavat, an Infested Charger, and other floating robots too. However, since there are so many, it’s easy to get confused. So here are the three best companions in… [Continue Reading]

Thoughts About Stormcloaks

by
It's all more natural. As a dragon, you don't stick out like a sore thumb.

I’ve been considering playing Skyrim again, but frankly, I don’t know if I really want to go back into modding Skyrim to make it how I like it. I don’t have any vanilla saves for any of my characters, so it’s not like I can just replay them. And at the same time, I kinda choose in advance what I want my character to do. Blades or Paarthunax? Vampires or Dawnguard? Werewolves or not joining the Companions? And the biggest one, Imperial or Stormcloak? Normally, I go 50-50 when it comes to the civil war. If I do decide to… [Continue Reading]

The Best Stealth Options in Warframe

by
I really need to get around to doing a proper article about how useful Ivara is...

Stealth in Warframe is a bit finicky. On the one hand, stealth can be hard to maintain, mostly because of how enemy AI works. On the other hand, stealth is mostly optional for about 90% of the game. However, when you do need stealth, there are, luckily, plenty of options. So here are five options for when you need to be stealthy. Ivara The number one option for stealth HAS to be Ivara. Ivara is built to be stealthy. Not only can she remain invisible for an insanely long time, but she can also distract enemies, put them to sleep… [Continue Reading]

Terrorbane – a Review

by
Terrorbane battle

The other day, I was supposed to have a gaming horror night, but we didn’t really have anything that scary to play. So we decided to play a normal game. Well, normalish. The boyfriend picked up Terrorbane. Or, to make it a bit more obvious, tERRORbane. This is a fun little pixel RPG game, where there are a lot of errors. The game starts off simple enough, with a conversation with an otherwise nameless video game developer, who calls themselves Dev. This fictional developer has made a cool game called Terrorbane and wants us to play it, but not everything… [Continue Reading]

Axew Community Day

by

Despite having a debut in 2022 during that year’s GO Fest, Axew Community Day is a welcome one. Axew has been a semi-rare Pokemon for ages, only really appearing in windy weather, and it’s been hard to farm candies for them. This Community Day finally allowed us to get our hands on a very popular shiny Pokemon. A fun day For me, I had a great day. We played in a group of six, which is actually quite a lot for a Community Day here, at least post-pandemic*. We wandered around town hall, making use of the plenty of shade… [Continue Reading]

Spotlight Hours in Pokemon GO

by
Houndour Spotlight Hour

Every Tuesday in Pokemon GO, we get a spotlight hour. During the spotlight hour, 99% of spawns turn into one specific species of Pokemon, starting from 6pm local time until 7pm local time. But are they worth doing? Or are they a waste of time? It depends on the Pokemon It really, really depends on the Pokemon. There have been all sorts of Pokemon in spotlight hours, ranging from Minun and Plusle to heavy hitters like Beldum. Generally though, the spotlight Pokemon is related to whatever event is currently going on. For example, during the last Rocket Takeover, Skorupi was… [Continue Reading]

Cheap Alternatives to Expensive Legendary Pokemon in Pokemon GO

by
Pokemon Go - Tyranitar

These days, Legendary Pokemon are most often the best choice. They tend to be just too good at what they do, which is mostly just killing things. However, here are some nice budget Pokemon for your raiding pleasure. Machamp These days, the best fighting type is Terrakion, who recently got Sacred Sword, a very strong fighting move. Before Terrakion though, we had the rather expensive and rare Lucario and Conkeldurr. Both of which were somewhat rare and a pain in the ass to get candy for. Luckily though, our old buddy Machamp is here to save the day. It hatches… [Continue Reading]
