A Quick Look At Castle Crashers

April 7, 2023March 26, 2023 Medic 0 Comments beat 'em up, cartoony, game

Trying to find a common ground in video games is hard. There are so many games to play, but not everyone has them. And on top of that, not everyone is even on the same platform. This was a difficulty that I have found quite a lot while playing games with my boyfriend. But we did eventually stumble on one game we both owned: Castle Crashers. Castle Crashers has been out for ages, but I never got around to playing it, because it’s a beat-them-up game. I’m not normally into that sort of thing, mostly because I suck at them.… [Continue Reading]

Now for Something Completely Different

A Bit of Wrestling Disappointment

April 6, 2023April 4, 2023 Medic 0 Comments ramble, wrestling

On a whim and an invitation from my brother, I joined him and a friend and watched Wrestlemania. This year, Wrestlemania was split into two 4-hour events, spread over the weekend. So we had day one and day two. However, we watched Wrestlemania in one go, watching it on the WWE network. Which meant we could skip over all the long, non-wrestling-y bits, and avoid the cringey adverts. Overall, it was fun, but I was left with a bit of disappointment. I’m putting a spoiler warning here. Wrestlemania concluded a couple of days before I wrote this article, and some… [Continue Reading]

Nora’s Choice Nightwave is Fine

April 4, 2023March 20, 2023 Medic 0 Comments nightwave, warframe

In Warframe, we have a system called Nightwave. Really, it’s a season pass. You do these chores, you level up and get stuff. Not always good stuff, sometimes the rewards are kinda crap, but that’s the basic pattern. It keeps people coming back. I’ll be honest, the rewards aren’t always amazing. In fact, some rewards from past Nightwave events have been somewhat mediocre. But as you go along and level up, the rewards do definitely get better, and give out rare resources like Umbral Forma. Tasks of Many Flavors To be able to progress in Nightwave, you have to do… [Continue Reading]

Eggs, Eggs, Eggs and More Eggs

April 3, 2023March 17, 2023 Medic 0 Comments eggs, pokemon go

Between today, yesterday, and the day before yesterday, I’ve walked about 10 kilometers. With that 10km, tracked in Pokemon GO, I managed to hatch an egg. It gave me an Espurr, a Pokemon I forgot that it even existed. But as soon as that egg had hatched, I was already trying to pick what egg I should try and hatch next. I opted for a 12km egg, because I am looking for a female Salandit. That’s stupidly rare as it is, but these 12km eggs won’t hatch themselves. The problem is, I can’t hatch eggs fast enough with just the… [Continue Reading]

Why are Niantic Nerfing Remote Passes?

April 2, 2023March 31, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, raid, remote raid

On March 30th, Niantic made an announcement regarding the future of remote raid passes. Simply put, they are increasing the price of remote passes to 195 coins, with a pack of three costing 525 coins. Even worse, they are reducing the amount of remote raids a player can do in one day, from infinite to 5. This announcement has popped up very suddenly, and the changes will occur on April 6th. Of course, no one likes any of these changes. Remote raids offer so much freedom. The changes made to remote passes are pretty damn drastic. Not only are they… [Continue Reading]

Team Rocket GO are Mediocre, But I Love Them.

April 1, 2023March 21, 2023 Medic 0 Comments grunt, pokemon go, team rocket, team rocket go

Every Pokemon game has some bad group that do bad things and you, the 10 year old player character, have to go and stop them. In Pokemon GO, we get Team GO Rocket, run by what I assume is a clone of Giovanni. It’s called Team GO Rocket, either way, but Team Rocket GO is cooler. Or I can just call them Team, Rocket, it’s all the same. Still, probably better than Team Star in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Team Star just seems to be filled with kids bunking off school or something. Anyway, Team GO Rocket aren’t really much… [Continue Reading]

5 Pokemon That Were Badly Translated into Pokemon GO

March 30, 2023March 15, 2023 Medic 1 Comment pokemon, pokemon go

While Pokemon GO does have a lot of Pokemon, from across all regions of the Pokemon series, there are still some Pokemon that, well, don’t really fit in. Pokemon that change forms or look different or just turn invisible. In today’s article, we’ll look at some Pokemon that don’t work the same way they would in a main series game. Smeargle I’ve always kinda liked the little paintbrush dog. It’s cute and has a cool gimmick, copying moves from other Pokemon. However, the move-copying gimmick in Pokemon GO is very basic. When a Smeargle appears, it only copies the moves… [Continue Reading]

Five Pokemon I Always Catch When I See Them

March 29, 2023March 20, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go

When I go on my daily walks, I generally play Pokemon GO at the same time. Unfortunately, there aren’t that many Pokemon to catch where I live, so I just have to make do with the daily incense. And, frankly, most of the spawns are pretty damn mediocre. However, there are some Pokemon that I always catch, no matter what. Houndour Houndour is my favourite Pokemon, so this is kinda obvious. Although I have both a shiny Houndour and a 100% Hundoom, I find myself still catching them, because I need the XL Candy to get my Hundoom to level… [Continue Reading]

A Warm Welcome Back to the Sea of Thieves

March 28, 2023March 20, 2023 Medic 0 Comments adventure, sea of thieves, story time

A while back, I kinda stopped playing Sea of Thieves, or any games in general. All I played was Pokemon GO. When it comes to Sea of Thieves in particular, a single gameplay session can end up being rather long. I just didn’t have the stamina for hours of gaming. But after a day of almost binge-watching my friend Bacxaber’s Sea of Thieves videos, I decided that I needed to get back into playing Sea of Thieves again. So I asked Bacxaber if he was available to play and he said yes. That evening, we got on a sloop, then… [Continue Reading]
