Krakens Suck

by
Sailing on the Sea of Thieves

I’ve been playing Sea of Thieves for a while now and I’ve been enjoying it a lot. However, not everything is perfect in this pirate game. Like most games, there’s always a flaw or two, some things that just aren’t likeable, and events that are seemingly random. As you sail, you can run into mermaid puzzle bubbles, find sunken ships or perhaps get attacked by a Megalodon. And then we have Krakens. Krakens suck. Krakens are like Megalodons except more annoying and ready to waste a lot more of your time. You don’t even get to see most of them.… [Continue Reading]

More Candies for Better Throws Should be the Norm

by
Pokemon Go Cherrim

During the Ultra Bug Out event, a new passive bonus was released, alongside a bunch of other event buffs. Simply put, you’d get more candy based on the quality of a throw. A Nice throw would earn you one extra candy, a Great throw two candy and an Excellent throw 3 candy. With a pinap berry, that’s up to 12 candy for an Excellent throw on a normal Pokemon. Pretty neat, right? Sadly, this extra candy for good throws is only for the Bug Out event, and once it’s gone, we might not ever see it again. However, the extra… [Continue Reading]

Fishing in the Sea of Thieves

by
Ships at the Fort of Fortune

I’ve always enjoyed fishing in video games. While I’ve never properly gone fishing in real life, I’m quite happy to do so in the confines of a video game. Heck, I have spent multiple hours staying up and fishing, over a nice selection of games. Somehow, I’m just attracted to fishing mini games. My two favourite games to fish in are Warframe and Minecraft. In Warframe, I used my love of fishing to, well, fish my way up to the top rank of Cetus. Using Volt, I could catch fish with ease and without buying other fishing spears. In Minecraft,… [Continue Reading]

Five Reasons Why You Should be doing Legends of the Veil

by
Sailing on Ghostly Seas

The Legend of the Veil is a voyage you can pick up from the Athena’s Fortune Hideout, for Pirate Legends only*. In it, you speak to the Pirate Lord and he bumbles on about how powerful this artifact is and that he’s gone and lost it. Your crew has to find three small, green Veil Stones in order to reactivate the Veil of the Ancients. Apparently, the Veil of the Ancients can open and close portals between the Sea of Thieves and the Sea of the Damned, as well as breaking the barriers between the two worlds. *Just the person… [Continue Reading]

My Limited Thoughts on Captaincy in the Sea of Thieves

by
The Daily SPUF, a small sloop

Captaincy is one of the bigger updates that Sea of Thieves has had in a while, while also being one of the oldest updates ever promised. The Captaincy update was supposed to be the first major update for Sea of Thieves, but for some reason never came out. Years later and here Captaincy is, with a bunch of pretty nice stuff. Your own actual ship The biggest part of the update is the ability to name your ship. It’s one of the first things you do when you become a captain. After all, this IS your own, personal ship. And… [Continue Reading]

Reapers, Glitterbeards and Forts – More Adventures on the Stormcloud

by
Reapers Hideout

It’s always fun being on a big ship with plenty of cannons. 4-player Galleons are big and tanky and somewhat threatening, especially to other ships. In this session though, the plan wasn’t to reap and tear. Instead, we were playing as emissaries for the Gold Hoarders, in order to help me reach level 50 and become a Pirate Legend. Luckily this wasn’t too hard to do. We ended up doing some vaults… well, the same vault 3 times, making lots of gold. As we sailed though, we did meet a very aggressive sloop. Luckily they were no threat to us.… [Continue Reading]

On Becoming A Pirate Legend

by
A hiden area for Pirate Legends

Sea of Thieves doesn’t really have much of an obvious end goal. There is a LOT to unlock, but as a final goal, it’s mostly just getting huge amounts of money and infamy. That and hunting down emissaries to kill them. However, before we talk about end game stuff, there’s a specific rank that you need to acquire, before you do anything too interesting. I’m talking about being a Pirate Legend, and finding myself deeper inside SoT lore. When I first started playing Sea of Thieves, I thought it’d take a while to become a Pirate Legend. After all, with… [Continue Reading]

A Thunderbirds Board Game

by
Thunderbirds!

When I was a rather small kid, one of the TV shows we used to watch was Thunderbirds. This show was made using various puppets, rather than being animated as a normal cartoon. The premise of Thunderbirds was quite simple. A family called the Tracies ran International Rescue, and would go on adventures. There were six Tracies, the dad and five sons, all of whom had some pretty fucking cool aircraft, as well as a satellite in space, ran by the eldest kid, John Tracy. Everything in this show was animated with puppets and physical models, which were all pretty… [Continue Reading]

Lures in Pokemon GO Make No Sense

by
Medic and his Giratina

During the last Community Day with Zigzagoon, my brother and I put down some lures, in the hopes of producing more spawns. We were chilling out in an ice cream place at the time, and the three closest Pokestops were all lured. Because it was a Community Day, those lures would all last 3 hours each, sticking around for a long time after we finished up and left. As we left though, I looked back at the lured Pokestops and realized that luring those Pokestops made no sense. Most spawns are wasted. The place where we left the lures was… [Continue Reading]

Macaroni Cheese In A Microwave

by

I love macaroni and cheese. It’s something I can normally whip up very quickly. Macaroni cheese is warm, filling and somewhat nostalgic. It’s also a dish I mostly make by hand, rather than buying it ready-made. Sure, buying ready-made is almost always easier, but home-made macaroni cheese can actually be done very quickly, especially if you make it regularly. However, normally, you kinda need a stove to be able to make macaroni cheese. Pasta needs to be boiled and cheese needs to be melted in the sauce. The sauce also needs cooking, depending on what recipe you use. And currently… [Continue Reading]
