How Community Days SHOULD Work in Pokemon GO

by
Eevee and its Eeveelutions

April’s Community Day was also a debut for a brand new Pokemon. However, it was also a day of change, with many of the Community Day features we got slowly being eroded away. But Communities can be so much better. Here are some features that would make a Community Day more awesome. Bring back the buddies giving Pokeballs For some of the earlier Community Days done during the start of the pandemic, we actually got quite a nice feature. Throughout the day, our buddy Pokemon would give us gifts which contained Pokeballs. Not a small number of them either. When… [Continue Reading]

Sea of Thieves – Newbie Luck and Epic Treasure

by
Part of a mighty haul

I don’t always write about my gaming adventures, and when I do, I generally write them in the second person, or directed at readers. But in my second ever voyage in Sea of Thieves, I had an absolutely awesome time, despite, well, it being my second ever voyage. We got a ton of loot. And in quite an odd way. In our voyage, we were a three-player squad: Bacxaber, Metz and me, the brand new pirate. I was sailing on the Stormcloud with two veteran players on a brig decked out in reaper colours. While I had played through the… [Continue Reading]

Destiny 2’s Shotguns Make Me Sad

by
A ship flying towards the Last City

I don’t know why, but shotgun weapons in many video games are all over the damn place. There are a ton of tropes surrounding video game shotguns, and most of them are pretty bad. This annoys me because I want to like shotguns, but I simply can’t. And Destiny 2’s shotguns basically fill a ton of tropes. Before I even start though, I don’t play much PvP in Destiny 2, so PvP players can safely ignore this article. After all, there are far fewer enemies in Crucible, Iron Banner and Trials of Osiris, and everyone is as mobile and as… [Continue Reading]

A First Glance at Sea Of Thieves

by
Sea of Thieves title screen

Sea of Thieves is a neat pirate game by game developers Rare, where you can sail the seas, loot and plunder fortresses, kill skeletons and occasionally fight with other pirates for epic loot. It’s a massive game with an unclaimed sea and all sorts of mystery. Sea of Thieves is also a game that I’ve wanted to try for a while, and a recent 50% off discount allowed me to try it. Now, most of the time, I’d be diving into this game straight away, on my own. But I’m a very lucky person, and I have some damn good… [Continue Reading]

Leveling A Titan

by
My new Titan with low level gear

My Warlock character in Destiny 2 is actually very old. I’m pretty sure I had it before Destiny 2 became free-to-play. She is a hideous, female Exo with yellow head parts sticking out, and always keeps her helmet on. This character has been through a lot. She blundered her way through Forsaken. Then she shivered around Beyond Light. Now she is having second thoughts about The Traveler. Might not be as much as some Guardians, but it’s been a long journey. However, there are a few things that my Warlock always missed out on. Not so much in historical events,… [Continue Reading]

On Re-Learning To Ride A Bike

by
A familiar Yellow Volt falling off his K-Drive

For my 30th birthday (heck, that feels weird to write), I was gifted a bicycle. It’s a cute little bike with a basket on the front and a little thing on the back where I can attach more basket-y things. Simply put, it’s a really lovely bike and I am very thankful for it. However, there’s a small problem here. Not with the bicycle. That’s fine. I’m gonna print some stickers out and stick them on. No, the problem is with me. I haven’t ridden a bike in like 18 years. Yeah, that’s… kinda a long time. The last time… [Continue Reading]

A Very Large GPS Drift

by
My GPS sent me to the sea

Since I’ve got a newer, more modern phone, I don’t get that much GPS drift any more. Sometimes, with all location-based games and apps, GPS signals can get blocked. After all, GPS is tied to a massive system of satellites which communicate and triangulate together. Most of the time, this GPS drift is very short and always snaps back after a few moments. However, one day, I went on a really nice trip, according to my GPS. The GPS was slow at first. It was just doing what it normally does, wandering to and from the Pokestop by my house.… [Continue Reading]

Not Bothering with the Legendary Ranks anymore…

by
Volt with Kuva Bramma

I think, finally, after all these years, I think I can stop chasing new mastery. It’s been a long, long ride. A multi-year long ride, to get to the prestigious rank of True Master. And then we went beyond that, entering the Legendary Ranks of 1 and, soon, 2. There are enough items in Warframe to level up that we have hit Mastery Rank 32. But is it still worth chasing? We now know what’s after True Master. From what we’ve seen so far, it seems quite simple. Both Legendary 1 and Legendary 2 ranks require doing the same things… [Continue Reading]

Random Thoughts on the Witch Queen Campaign

by
Flight over the Throne World

For my birthday, my brother bought me a copy of Witch Queen, the new expansion for Destiny 2. I had been holding off buying it for myself for quite a long time, due to the fact that I don’t really play much Destiny 2 in general. However, since it had been gifted to me, brother and I decided to play through the main Witch Queen campaign, a whole new story to be unraveled. In all honesty though, I’m not too sure about it all. I can’t tell if I liked it or not. Felt short Maybe it’s because I wasn’t… [Continue Reading]

On Writing On What’s On My Mind

by
We all know Lua

Today is not a particularlly productive day for me. Especially for writing, which I have been struggling with for a while. I used to be able to jot something article-like with ease. These days though, I do find keeping my writing up quite difficult. The question is, how do I get my mojo back? Originally, I would just write whatever comes to mind. A Team Fortress 2 class. A cosmetic. Perhaps a Warframe weapon or three. Or perhaps some little tiny thing no one cares about or hardly never noticed. My writing isn’t always about games. I also write about… [Continue Reading]
