SPARK, WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU?

October 3, 2022October 2, 2022 Medic 1 Comment fashion, pokemon go, ugly

The other day, I opened Pokemon Go as normal, to do some research, catch some Pokemon, you know. Normal stuff. I did a Team Rocket battle and got a Shinx with a hat on it. That was weird. But what was weirder was when I appraised my Shinx. Spark was… different. He was very suddenly not very cool. Normally, Spark wears this cool black leather jacket with yellow trims and an awesome Zapdos necklace. But that look was clearly no more. For some reason, Spark ditched his normal clothes and made himself look like a stoner. He didn’t even have… [Continue Reading]

Things To Nominate In Pokemon GO (and Ingress Prime)

October 2, 2022September 24, 2022 Medic 0 Comments ingress prime, pokemon go, wayfarer

When you reach level 38 in Pokemon GO, you unlock the ability to nominate Pokestops. Basically, you go through a form, where you take some pictures, add a title and description and explain what a thing is and why it should be a Pokestop. Your nomination is then sent to Niantic Wayfarer, where people can scrutinize and vote on your submission and either accept it or reject it. However, this can be a struggle. Even if you go to the Wayfarer website, there are lots of boxes that need to be ticked. And, because people are, well, people, it’s quite… [Continue Reading]

Is Dynamax Just Mega Evolutions for Everyone?

October 1, 2022September 23, 2022 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, random, rant

The other day, I was looking up fake Pokemon, and also found myself looking at fake Mega Evolutions. Although fake Pokemon are generally quite cool, I find that fake Megas are even cooler. You’re taking a cool Pokemon and making it bigger and cooler by using a special crystal ball thingy. Well, most of the time. Sometimes even mediocre Pokemon get awesome upgrades. They both work similarly The rules are very similar. You can only Mega Evolve or Dynamax one Pokemon in a battle, afterwards you’re locked out of it. During your Mega Evolution or Dynamax, you get a shot… [Continue Reading]

Pokemon GO’s Mega Evolutions Aren’t So Bad Any More

September 30, 2022September 22, 2022 Medic 1 Comment mega, mega evolution, pokemon go

When Mega Pokemon came out, no one was particularly happy. The time and effort required to actually get a Mega Pokemon was incredibly demanding. And to make matters worse, these Pokemon could only be mega-evolved for 4 hours at a time. Everything about the whole system felt incredibly wrong. But lately, Mega Evolutions don’t feel nearly as bad as they used to be. There’s been improvements. One or two raids The first and biggest change is the number of raids you have to do. Originally, you’d get 50-80 Mega Candy per Mega Raid you did. This meant that, for the… [Continue Reading]

Just Some More Cool Small Youtube Channels that I’d Like to Recommend

September 29, 2022September 21, 2022 Medic 0 Comments ramble, recommendation, youtube

A while back, due to writers’ block, I recommended a bunch of Youtube channels. The idea was to showcase smaller channels because, frankly, my recommendation feed from Youtube is too busy. Youtube always wants to recommend channels with huge numbers of viewers. Sometimes though, a smaller channel will slip through. And sometimes these channels catch my eye. Learning Curve The first channel I’d like to recommend is Learning Curve. On this channel, we are treated to various interesting science topics, such as Brown Dwarf stars, the biology of bees and strange paradoxes. Oddly enough, this channel is quite new to… [Continue Reading]

Now for Something Completely Different

Warming Up To Cups

September 28, 2022September 20, 2022 Medic 0 Comments cooking, food, insanity

I know what some of you might be thinking. Perhaps, after all these years, Medic here has finally gone insane and is writing complete and utter bollocks. Or, alternatively, you might be asking yourself whether Medic had a vendetta against cups or something. There’s definitely some insanity in here, but it’s not that bad. Or maybe it is, and I’m completely insane. It’s probably the latter. I should probably start explaining. It’s about cooking In this article, I’m talking about using cups as a form of measurement while cooking. Normally, I do one of two things. I either get out… [Continue Reading]

Fishing for Fortunes

September 27, 2022September 18, 2022 Medic 0 Comments fish, fishing, minecraft, sea of thieves, warframe

I like fishing mini-games. They are almost always rather quiet and peaceful. It’s a chance to stop, take a break and, well, catch some fish. And by catching fish, we can slowly accumulate fortunes, much more money than you would think. My original fishing experiences come from Minecraft. Originally, fishing was genuinely slow and bad. You could only catch fish or random junk. That was only ever on vanilla Minecraft though. Many survival multiplayer servers however had plugins or mods that would make things more interesting. One of the earlier servers I played on, the more you used a tool… [Continue Reading]

On Ammo Nerfs

September 26, 2022September 18, 2022 Medic 0 Comments ammo, balance, explosives, warframe, wukong

So, part of the Veilbreaker update came with some form of balancing. For a while now, explosive weapons have dominated throughout all areas of Warframe’s PvE content, and people were getting tired of it. I can understand why, because no one likes running after someone just picking up loot. However, rather than just nerfing everything into the ground, we ended up with, well, ammo. Both in magazine sizes and how much ammo we can hold. It’s quite interesting. Only two types of ammo. We used to have loads of types of ammo. Ammo for most weapon types, funnily enough. But… [Continue Reading]

It Should Have Been Ramsey

So a while back, we went into Ramsey’s office, only to see the word GUILTY scribbled across the walls. The Pirate Lord seemed completely unaware of this, and was just chilling out there. The signs all pointed towards a murder mystery, the case of the death of DeMarco, Ramsey’s son. From this picture, it seemed as if Ramsey had definitely done something wrong and was somehow connected to the death of his son, perhaps killing his son himself. This was all part of a murder mystery event, somewhat spurred on via Twitter. And, after a few weeks, we uncovered the… [Continue Reading]

In Love With the Sounds of Sea of Thieves

September 23, 2022September 16, 2022 Medic 0 Comments music, sea of thieves, sound

There’s a lot of things you can complain about in the Sea of Thieves. It’s a massive mish-mash of different sorts of adventures and quests, while also being somewhat unstable at various times, and has a really weird playerbase. But there is one thing in particular that Sea of Thieves really excels at: its sounds. That seems like a particularly odd thing to pick out. After all, the Sea of Thieves also has amazing water effects and its art style is very unique. Even if their newer clothing options look more like Fortnite skins rather than clothes for pirates. It’s… [Continue Reading]
