Driving in the Dark

I remember quite vividly the first time I properly drove in the dark. It was during my driving test, there was a hint of rain and all the street lights gave the night a heavy orange tint. I thankfully passed my driving test and I felt very proud of myself, especially because things were quite dark. After a bit of rain, we drove home, and I thought very little about driving in the dark. I had headlights, I could see where I was driving and that was it. Not long afterwards, when I had to go to a mandatory first… [Continue Reading]

A Racing Board Game

When it comes to board games, there’s always a few things that seem like they don’t translate well into such a media. One of those things is racing. I mean, how does a racing game even work in board game form? Well, it turns out, there is a way to make a racing board game. Today, I want to talk about the game Heat: Pedal to the Metal. Heat is a racing board game, where the first person to complete three laps wins the game. You can play with up to six players and there are four tracks to choose… [Continue Reading]

These New Warframe Updates are Pretty Neat

The other day, I somehow spent well over four hours playing Warframe and its latest update, Citrine’s Last Wish. I was playing the new Mirror Defense mode, farming for both the new Warframe and her weapons, as well as a currency of gems, to buy some miscellaneous bits and pieces from Otak’s new shop. This update, Citrine’s Last Wish, is somewhat simple. It’s not a huge update, just a little update, mostly to keep us occupied while we wait for the Duriviri Paradox. But the update was also plenty good. We got a new Warframe, a little bit of fluffy… [Continue Reading]

I Miss Fortuna 69

In Warframe, we have relays and areas where Tenno can congregate and talk to each other. These hubs are entirely peaceful, with no guns allowed, and they generally house a bunch of NPCs which have things for us to buy. The first hub area you go to is either Larunda on Mercury, or Cetus on Earth, depending on which way you go. Then there’s places like the Orcus relay, the Zariman or Tenno Dojos which require a bit more work to access. Either way, these places are one of the few peaceful places in Warframe, and you’ll always see a… [Continue Reading]

Hoenn Tour Day 2

Well, it turns out there wasn’t much difference between days one and two. That’s okay. In the Johto and Kanto events, a lot more was going on. Day one would be habitats and catching, while day 2 would be more of a story/adventure sort of thing. Kanto Tour had the shadow legendaries for example. But for the Hoenn tour, things on day 2 are mostly the same as day one. Frankly, I like this. Having to do collection challenges and research can be quite tricky if you don’t have much time on your hands. After all, not everyone can play… [Continue Reading]

Hoenn Tour Day 1

This February, we had the Hoenn Tour in Pokemon GO. Just like the Kanto and Johto tours in previous years, the Hoenn Tour featured Pokemon over a two day event, as well as special raids and new potentially shiny Pokemon. Day 1 is more of a collectathon, while day 2 is generally a tad more story-based, if that even makes sense. Anyway, let’s have a look at Day 1. Day 1 had rotating habitats, during which various Pokemon would spawn. Like the previous tours, we had to catch one of each Pokemon to complete a collection challenge. Unlike the previous… [Continue Reading]

One Wrestler Every 90 Seconds

I’ve always been a casual fan of wrestling. I don’t actually follow it, but I’ll watch the odd match on Youtube now and then. But there is one event that I always try to see, and that is the Royal Rumble. It’s a massive event that leads down the road to Wrestlemania, the actual biggest wrestling event of the year. Personally though, out of the big events, I have always preferred the Royal Rumble. It’s not hard to see why. The Royal Rumble has lots of people fighting together in one go. The rules for a royal rumble match are… [Continue Reading]

Things I’d Like to See in the Summer TF2 Update

Editor’s note: This article was written way before Valve decided to subtly change some text, indicating that the summer update was not a real update, just another cosmetic one. So feel free to ignore all of this since it’s no longer going to happen. The other day, something amazing happened. A blog post appeared on the TF2 website. Not just any blog post, but one that had good news in it and wasn’t about some sort of community event. This blog post was a call to arms, a rallying cry to anyone who makes items on the Steam Workshop, to… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays Pokemon Violet – Part 9

So the next gym on the list is a Water gym. It’s located in Cascarrafa, which happens to be next to a pretty large desert. It’s supposed to be a bit of an oasis, and has running water at least. So the first thing I do is find the gym, which has a lift for you to get up to it. But as I approach the gym, someone rushes out of it and disappears, followed by a secretary shouting. Turns out, the water gym leader has forgotten his wallet, which is something that seems to happen a lot around here.… [Continue Reading]

Mirror Defense Is Way Better Than Normal Defense

I’ve never really liked defense missions in Warframe. They are slow and tedious and always prone to breaking due to having to make sure everything is dead. The main reason I play defense missions is either me starting the day doing the defense mission Seimeni on Ceres, or because it’s in the current sortie or Archon hunt. There are two basic forms of defense and both of them are boring. The first is protecting a static object, generally some sort of metal pod with an unconscious person inside it. The second involves protecting an NPC, who will always try and… [Continue Reading]
