Another Ramble about Costumed Pokemon

November 4, 2022October 27, 2022 Medic 0 Comments costume, halloween, pokemon go

As of writing, we are on part 2 of a two-part Halloween event in Pokemon GO. Alongside all your normal ghost types, this year, we have a ton of new costumed Pokemon. But these costumed Pokemon are different. They can evolve. Yep, we got a costumed Vulpix and a costumed Pumpkaboo, and both of them can evolve into Ninetails and Gourgeist, keeping their costumes as they do so. Both of the basic Pokemon are also shiny-eligible but, although you can find wild Ninetails and Gourgeist with the costumes on, they can’t be shiny. Pretty common stuff with the shiny versions,… [Continue Reading]

Playing Sea of Thieves Solo Kinda Sucks

November 3, 2022October 26, 2022 Medic 0 Comments sea of thieves, solo

I love Sea of Thieves. It’s a great game where you can actually be a pirate, with no real moral ground to stand on. However, I’ve rarely played the game solo, and tend to avoid playing solo at all costs. Simply put, Sea of Thieves is very hostile for the single solo player. Too much for me to handle There is simply too much for one person to effectively do. Especially if you’re a newbie. I don’t want to call myself a newbie, but I am, my experience is very spread out. But there’s a ton of things to do.… [Continue Reading]

Team Fortress 2 – A Game Without much of a Grind

November 2, 2022October 25, 2022 Medic 0 Comments grind, overwatch 2, Team Fortress 2

The other day, I was browsing through my Team Fortress 2 inventory, which is really a relic of history these days, since I don’t play any more. As I looked at them, I realized something odd. I never had to grind to get those items. I either traded for them, they were given to me or I got them as a random drop. Almost all weapons are basically random drops these days, although most cosmetic items are generally paid for, either via trades or from keys spent and used on crates. While looking at my backpack, I came to a… [Continue Reading]

One of my favourite videos to make me happy

November 1, 2022October 25, 2022 Medic 0 Comments random

Sometimes, when I feel really sad, I go to Youtube and look for comforting and funny videos. Most of the time, I end up watching a UK panel show, with comedians I like. But sometimes, when I want pure, brainless humour, I head to A Jolly Wangcore’s channel and find the above video. In my opinion, it is one of the funniest gaming videos on Youtube. I’ve actually been watching Jolly for a long time. I started watching back when he was called A Jolly Wanker, back when he used to narrate things with text rather than his voice. Those… [Continue Reading]

Zorua Is Both Here and Obvious

October 31, 2022October 30, 2022 Medic 0 Comments halloween, pokemon go, spooky, zoroark, zorua

After a very, very long wait, Zorua is finally available in Pokemon GO. Debuting in the Halloween Event Part 2, Zorua had a rocky start and was initially disabled, but it was released towards the end of the event, ready to disguise itself. Because that’s what this familiar, well-loved Pokemon does. And who does it disguise as? Our buddies, of course. Zorua is very obvious. Normally, spawning disguised as your buddy sounds pretty cool. Especially if you’re walking something like a Noibat or perhaps a Deino. Seeing something rare on your Pokemon radar will make you rush over to it.… [Continue Reading]

Dice Throne

October 30, 2022October 23, 2022 Medic 0 Comments board game, dice, dice throne, luck

The other day, I played a board game called Dice Throne. The campaign was a simple one. Gather the dice shards from across the map, kill enemies and then kick the ass of a boss character. It’s a pretty fun game, but it is also pretty damn strange. The first thing that is strange is that there is no board. Instead, we have several scenarios, and we build a map using various cards of various difficulties. Each map has a portal card from which you start, various cards of locations with varying difficulties, and finally a boss tile where you… [Continue Reading]

A Brief Glance at Overwatch 2

October 29, 2022October 22, 2022 Medic 0 Comments overwatch, overwatch 2

You know what? Overwatch 2 is alright. I actually jumped into a few casual matches the other day with my boyfriend, and it was pretty fun. If a bit laggy. However, it’s definitely not perfect. Mostly just better than I expected. Starting fresh Since this was jumping in to Overwatch for the first time in years, I realised that I am starting from scratch. I have a limited pool of heroes, and a free season pass I definitely won’t finish. It kinda reminds me of playing League of Legends a little, especially with the ton of new heroes that have… [Continue Reading]

Why is Egg Mayo So Tasty?

October 28, 2022October 21, 2022 Medic 0 Comments egg, food, mayo

There are millions of fillings you can put into a sandwich. A sandwich can contain pretty much whatever you want, from grilled cheese and simple ham and mayonnaise, to stupidly over the top meat-filled monsters. But for some reason, lately, I’ve been kinda fixated on one particular filling: egg mayonnaise. If you don’t know what egg mayonnaise is, it’s pretty simple. You boil up some eggs, peel them then mash them up with a fork. You then add some mayonnaise (or a mixture of mayonnaise and yogurt if you are feeling fancy), add some salt and pepper and throw it… [Continue Reading]

Cats and Health

October 27, 2022October 20, 2022 Medic 0 Comments cat, ramble, random

Cats are strange creatures. We treasure them as pets, but, unlike dogs, cats are very aloof and mostly do as they please. It’s easy to annoy a cat and make it attack you, and cats often scratch and bite when they are angry. People have to be careful of cats, especially wild ones, as they may carry diseases. However, despite all of this, cats can actually be good for your health. It turns out that a cat can be a great companion for someone who is feeling down or lonely. While a cat can’t make you feel positive thoughts, it… [Continue Reading]

Remote Raid Passes are the Future Now

October 26, 2022October 19, 2022 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go

Back when people actually cared about COVID and remained indoors, Niantic, the makers of Pokemon GO, released Remote Raid Passes. These passes allowed you to fight in raids at a distance, rather than having to be within 40m of a gym. As the majority of people couldn’t go outside, a big chunk of Pokemon GO was now inaccessible. Remote Raid Passes made gyms accessible again. As an added bonus, you could get 3 passes for 250 coins, saving yourself 50 coins for other things. Basically, pretty much everyone liked Remote Raid Passes. Not only did they mean you can play… [Continue Reading]
