Where are our Pokemon stats?

November 27, 2022November 18, 2022 Medic 2 Comments pokemon go, stats

While kicking some Mystic fools out of a gym and making it yellow, I actually noticed something I normally skip over. On the versus screen, by each player’s name, is a line of text saying “Battles won”. For most of the Pokemon in that gym, the number was zero. However, for the Rhyperior I was using, he had been in and won 150 battles. A coincidentally round number. I finished the battle and then went back in to finish off a Teddiursa, and I noticed that the Rhyperior’s “battles won” stat had in fact gone up. This led me to… [Continue Reading]

Sea of Thieves Season 8 Is the Best Update Ever

November 26, 2022November 24, 2022 Medic 0 Comments guardians of fortune, pve, pvp, sea of thieves, servants of the flame

In the Sea of Thieves, there’s always been a bit of a struggle between people who want PvE and people who want PvP. In previous seasons, this has mostly been random. You can’t tell if someone wants a fight until you’re already in one. While the Battle Flag and playing as Reaper’s Bones emissaries is one way to show that you want to fight, you can’t guarantee that anyone wants to fight you back. Season 8 flips this all on its head. Finally, there is now a way to get a guaranteed fight with someone else who also wants a… [Continue Reading]

5 Reasons Why You Need a Melmetal in Pokemon GO

November 25, 2022November 14, 2022 Medic 0 Comments melmetal, meltan, mythical, pokemon, pokemon go, steel

Melmetal is a very curious Pokemon. It is a Mythical Pokemon but it’s also an evolved Pokemon. For a while, I underestimated how useful Melmetal could be, because he’s got a rather unusual pool of abilities, but only just works as a steel-type attacker. However, over the years, my opinion has changed greatly, and Melmetal is now one of my must-have Pokemon, having served me well and also having kicked a lot of ass Here are five reasons why you should get (and power up) a Melmetal. Easy-ish to obtain This sounds like a weird thing to say. After all,… [Continue Reading]

Enchanters – Overlords – An Enchanting Board Game

November 24, 2022November 13, 2022 Medic 0 Comments board game, not quite a deckbuilder, physical game

Today, I’d like to chat about a board game I recently played. Thanks to my current situation, I now have access to a wall of board games that I’ve never even heard of, let alone never played before. I’ve mentioned games in the last, and today’s game is no different. And it’s definitely fun. Enchanters – Overlords, is a game about making enchanted items in order to get as many points as possible. You buy cards to make an enchanted item then use that item to kill monsters. Dead monsters give you points, and you want those to win. Simple… [Continue Reading]

The Flow of Writing

November 23, 2022November 13, 2022 Medic 0 Comments ramble, rant, writers block, writing

Writing, at least, good writing, has a flow to it. A journey of words that twist around and trickle down, starting as a stream and slowly becoming a mighty river. Actually writing, creating your own words, stories and articles, is just like another river, one that also ebbs and flows. This river decides whether you continue downstream or if you get caught on some piece of junk that won’t ever biodegrade. I’ll be honest with you all. What I just wrote was a load of utter bollocks. There was no real flow, it made little sense and frankly my similies… [Continue Reading]

What If There Was A 5+ Ship in Sea of Thieves?

November 21, 2022November 13, 2022 Medic 0 Comments galleon, sea of thieves

One of the downsides of Sea of Thieves is that it’s a sea. A wide open space with the odd ship bobbing on it. Normally, you’ll get like 4-6 ships in a single server, and it’s quite possible to spend all day sailing and only run into one other ship. At the same time, that one other ship you see is probably a coward running away from you, making things feel a whole lot emptier. Even running into the odd galleon that wants to murder you can also seem pretty empty once either you or the galleon has sunk. The… [Continue Reading]

Swedish Taskmaster

November 20, 2022November 10, 2022 Medic 0 Comments comedy show, international, sweden, taskmaster

I’ve written about Taskmaster before. It’s a UK TV show in which comedians complete tasks in order to please Greg Davis, the Taskmaster himself. Tasks range from all sorts of stuff, from knocking down plastic ducks to composing songs for strangers, all the way to pushing trolleys across an airport and having to eat as much watermelon as possible in a minute. Basically, it’s a crazy show and I love it. Even if I haven’t been able to watch the latest seasons. But what surprises me more is that there are other versions of Taskmaster. Three of which are set… [Continue Reading]

Please Keep The Gold Pokestops and Leafy Decorations

November 19, 2022November 9, 2022 Medic 1 Comment biome, Cosmetic, decoration, pokemon go

For Halloween, Pokemon GO had a small, visual update. The over-world map was spruced up with Halloween-y decorations, and were also upgraded to be a little more accurate. We also got orange Pokestops and carved pumpkins to match the Halloween mood. Alongside the visual changes, we also got a nice remix of the music from Lavender Town, all the way back from gen 1. After the Halloween event though, all the vibrant autumn colours disappeared and we returned to that old, familiar, infinitely green or blue over-world. Frankly, the Halloween over-world looked great, and it was a shame that it… [Continue Reading]

Small, Amusing, Pointless things I want in Pokemon GO

November 18, 2022November 8, 2022 Medic 0 Comments feature request, pokemon go, random, request

I love Pokemon GO. It’s one of the few games I can lazily play, no matter where I am and where my phone is. All I have to do is go for a walk and catch a few Pokemon as I do so. However, there are a few little tiny things I want to see in Pokemon GO. Some serious, some… not so serious. Watch out, this is a long list… Iron Head users should bounce balls back more frequently. This idea is the idea that pushed me into making this article. Basically, if you have a buddy that knows… [Continue Reading]

An Announcement on Adverts

November 17, 2022November 7, 2022 Medic 0 Comments free, ramble, rant

A while back, I got an email that I normally see on the regular. Lots of companies have sent me messages, saying they can get me to rank 1 of Google and make money with adverts and guest posts. Normally, I don’t do too much for these emails. They seem copied and pasted over and over, especially the guest post emails. However, occasionally, if I see an email that doesn’t look too suspicious, I’ll send them an email back, asking what guest posts they want or what services they offer. I rarely get a response from any of these. One… [Continue Reading]
