A War Over A New Gym

by
Who ate all the pies? This bastard ate all the pies.

In Cyprus, there’s not really much going on between Pokemon GO’s three teams, Valor, Mystic and Instinct. It’s not too difficult to get your 50 coins a day, and contests over gyms only really happened before raids, so you get extra Pokeballs when catching your Legendary Pokemon. But normally, the use of gyms where I live isn’t hectic. And the few places that are hectic, they’re always in the tourist areas. However, not every Gym is that peaceful or quiet. Especially the one down the road. A new gym? So, recently, I moved house. I moved from one side of… [Continue Reading]

A Small, Blocky Stegosaurus

A stegosaurus mde from tiny blocks

Earlier, for reasons unknown, a small plastic bag appeared on my desk. I have no idea where it came from or when we bought it, and it was certainly not anything I’d ordinarily buy. The package contained tiny weeny building blocks and some instructions on how to build a stegosaurus. So I opened the package up and decided to have some fun. I think fun is not the best word to describe what happened next. It wasn’t fun. I normally love putting Lego things together. There are three massive boxes in my room all filled with the stuff. But this… [Continue Reading]

Rambling over Raid Hours

by
Marill and Pokemon of the Master League

Every Wednesday, at 6pm local time, we get a raid hour in Pokemon GO. Whatever the current 5 star raid is, it will appear on pretty much every gym, and will stick around for, obviously, an hour before despawning. The raid hour lasts from 6pm to 7pm and can be done in person or remotely. Raid hour also works as a nice way to socialize with other players. It’s a good idea to get more raids done. Raid Hours are pretty fun. It’s an opportunity to get Legendary raids done with a small group who normally would be too scattered… [Continue Reading]

The Worst Pokemon in Pokemon GO

by

I’ve written plenty about bad Pokemon, specifically in Pokemon GO. There’s always bad or unlucky Pokemon that just can’t be used for various reasons. Some might be too niche, others might not have the attacks they need to be useful. Some Pokemon have always been useless because they’re just sentient letters of the alphabet. But there’s one particular Pokemon who really stands out, but was doomed from the start. Let’s get straight to the point. The worst Pokemon in Pokemon GO is Shedinja. A Pokemon that has nothing at all going for it. “But wait, doesn’t Shedninja have-“ Yes, yes,… [Continue Reading]

A Gentle Fishing Trip for the Soul

by
Tons of cooked fish

Sometimes, violence isn’t on the menu. Instead, fish is on the menu. There are tons of commendations and the like that require fishing. The Hunter’s Call buys your fish and you can catch a bunch of different species in the varied waters of the Sea of Thieves. Fishing is also pretty peaceful, and is a great time to chat while. Which is why we spent two hours on the Stormcloud, simply fishing. The commendations we were working on required fishing for a specific species, the Pondie. The best place for fishing Pondies is the Fort of Fortune, whenever it’s not… [Continue Reading]

Litwick Community Day

by
A shiny Chandelure

Saturday 15th was Litwick Community Day, with the cute little candle Pokemon. I have a feeling that Litwick is semi popular, and it’s definitely a favourite of my sister’s. While the event was nothing special, there’s still a few things that were a bit odd. Plenty of new shinies but some unusual choices in special moves. A nice day Personally, I had a really nice Community Day. Mostly by sheer coincidence, I actually ran into some of the other members of my Pokemon GO community. I met with three friends and long-term players, all of whom wanted some shinies and… [Continue Reading]

So Much For That – Definitely A Saints Row Game

by
The city of Seoul

I owe you all a little apology. I was going to make a whole playthrough of the game Agents of Mayhem. The plan was to play through and point out all the silly Saints Row references. And actually play something different for once. But I can’t. I’ve played about 2 hours worth of this game, and it’s just… not fun. I’m not enjoying myself. But why? The gunplay and movement feel off The first thing I noticed was that both walking and sprinting felt pretty slow, and that shotguns only work at point blank range. Even though I was on… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays Definitely Not A Saints Row Game – Part 1

by
Starting a mission so we can start another mission to unlock a new character

So we’re back here in Agents of Mayhem. You know, Definitely Not a Saints Row game. Despite all the purple. Anyway, with the tutorial out of the way, I’ve got a new mission to do and it involves unlocking a new character. Before I do that though, I have to go and see Gremlin, and there’s a Legion base I need to destroy. Let’s start with the Legion base. There are various Legion bases all over the map and I want to take them over and make them my own. Or, rather, make them into MAYHEM bases. This base in… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays Definitely Not A Saints Row Game – Part 0

by
Agents of Mayhem splash screen

Does anyone here remember Agents of Mayhem? No? I don’t blame you. Agents of Mayhem is a game made by the same people who made Saints Rows 3 to 4. But it isn’t a Saints Row game. It’s definitely not one. Agents of Mayhem is a whole solo adventure set in another city, not at all related to the Saints Row series. Except, well, it really looks like a Saints Row game, what with all the familiar purple symbols everywhere. Anyway, it’d be wrong to judge a game by its cover, so I’ve decided to play Agents of Mayhem, just… [Continue Reading]

Cool Sciency Stuff That I Don’t Get

by
Corpus Ships and the light of the Sun

Lately, I’ve been watching a lot of stuff on Youtube. While my desire to play games is dulled, I need to do something with my free time. Something that isn’t writing. So yeah, Youtube time it is. But I’ve not been sitting here, watching any old bollocks. I’ve been watching sciency things. And I’d be lying if I said I understood it all. So what sciency things have I been watching? Mostly quantum stuff. You know, the building blocks of the universe. But damn is this stuff confusing. I mean, it’s what the universe is made of, of course it’s… [Continue Reading]
