The Pokemon GO Community Weekend 2023

Every December, we don’t get a singular Community Day with one Pokemon. Instead we get a recap weekend, where the Pokemon from the Community Days of the year are split into two groups, and you have two Community Days on one weekend. This year’s Community Weekend featured the likes of Fennekin, Chespin, Froakie, Togetic, Noibat, Poliwag, Slowpoke, Grubbin, Axew, Timburr and Wooper. Just like previous years,we got two days of spawns, with all 11 Pokemon spawning from between 10am to 10pm, then the community day spawn rates and shiny chances from 2pm t0 5pm. Evolving a Pokemon that featured in… [Continue Reading]

More Little Stormcloud Adventures

The Little Stormcloud doesn’t see that much action. Up until recently, my brig saw very little action, being barely painted and decorated. However, with Guilds in the Sea of Thieves, Little Stormcloud finally got a chance to get some use. I pledged her to my guild, the Calcium Kings, and she’s now available for use by everyone in the Calcium Kings guild. And, occasionally, we take her out on adventures. I say “occasionally”, I mean twice. Her first proper excursion saw her unlock the majority of name plates, in a massive adventure that saw us make a fucking huge sum… [Continue Reading]

Whispers in the Walls – A New Quest

This December, Warframe experienced its last big update of 2023, with Whispers in the Walls. Teased at Tennocon 2023, Whispers in the Walls brought with it melee weapon arcanes, a new syndicate and a bounty system similar to the Zariman, a new Warframe and, the icing on the cake, a new quest, a thrust forward into Warframe’s new story, after the New War. This article contains spoilers. Do not read. Go and play the quest first. It has level 40 enemies, and I recommend taking an Excalibur for… immersive reasons. Also, take a Helios with you. Have fun! Whispers in… [Continue Reading]

How To Be Less of an Obvious Target on the Sea of Thieves

I get it, not everyone is a bloodthirsty pirate. Sometimes, yes, you do want to just sail from island to island, digging up chests and shooting the odd skeleton. But sometimes people seem to target you and annoy you. The reasons are varied, either they see you as a threat, you have something they want or they just want to sink a ship. Luckily, there are some ways you can make yourself less of an obvious target. Use bright colours This sounds counterintuitive, because normally being brightly coloured suggests that you are a threat. However, if you use all the… [Continue Reading]

Wednesday Raid Hour

Pokemon GO is kinda designed as a community game, a game we have to play together. After all, we have events called Community Days, we have large friends lists that give us bonuses as we level up and we work together to beat raids. One community-based event however happens every Wednesday. At 6pm local time, level 5 Legendary raids appear on the majority of gyms, an event known as Raid Hour. If a gym already has a raid on it, if it finishes before Raid Hour ends at 7pm, then it’ll get a Legendary raid egg after the current raid… [Continue Reading]

A Kitty in the Sea of Thieves

The other day, I finally gave in and bought a pet in Sea of Thieves. I’ve wanted a pet in Sea of Thieves for a long time, but I’ve been holding off for a long time, while i slowly earned enough Ancient Coins in order to be able to afford one. Ancient Coins in Sea of Thieves are the premium currency, and are actually pretty expensive, considering that the game itself is often €40. That being said, most people get Sea of Thieves for free or for cheap via the XBox Game Pass, so Microsoft and Rare have to make… [Continue Reading]

On Trying To Get Back Into Drawing Again

I’ve been trying to get back into drawing again. Now I’m more settled down in my life, I have the ability to find my pens and pencils and actually sit down and draw stuff. But doing so has been more… frustrating than I’d like. I’m supposed to be actually good at art and things like that, but lately, I’m really just not feeling it. A small problem is, well, I’ve had to get new pens and pencils and sketch books. Most of my sketch books and pens seemingly disappeared during the move, and I never got around to getting new… [Continue Reading]

Little Quality of Life Things I want in Sea of Thieves

Sea of Thieves actually has a lot of decent accessibility features. You can use text to speech, have subtitles and turn on a lot of useful little things, like holding or tapping to interact with objects. However, there’s always a few little things that I feel like Sea of Thieves needs, that are more gameplay-orientated. Markers for skeleton ship loot Skeleton and ghost fleets are both world events, and when you kill a ghost ship, you get a couple of wraiths circling where the loot drops. When you defeat a skeleton ship though, that loot just bobs up and down… [Continue Reading]

Vision – The One Thing I Never Got About League of Legends

There are two things I’ve never really understood in League of Legends. The first is how to jungle efficiently. Jungling in League of Legends has changed a lot over the years, with different monsters and buffs and items, but I never learned how to farm properly and when the best time to gank, help a lane or whatever. The other thing I never understood was vision. Now, when I used to play League of Legends, I mostly played support. And support was generally in charge of applying vision to the map, as well as protecting the ADC and stopping them… [Continue Reading]

Party Play Is Pretty Good Now

With the end of the Season of Adventures Abound, we got an event revolving around Adventures Abound’s biggest feature, Party Play. Party Play allows you to team up with up to three other trainers, see each other on the overworld, do research tasks together and take on bosses more easily than ever. The event, Party Up!, celebrated the feature and also brought back the new generation 9 Pokemon and the new shinies from the season. When Party Play originally came out, it was a bit underwhelming. Not only did it come with a bug which could delete all your saved… [Continue Reading]
