On Just Driving Around the City

Medic 0 Comments

In real life, I’m not really a fan of driving. I find it tedious and only drive because I have to. While it is nice to drive and listen to music, the cost of petrol is a large deterrent, and I don’t really like driving around for no reason. Now, in a video game? That’s not a problem. There’s no petrol to worry about, and I can listen to whatever I like. The game I normally do this in is Saints Row the Third. After I completed the main game, I spent a lot of time just driving around the… [Continue Reading]

The Thieves Guild Lacks Real Thieves

Medic 0 Comments ,

After a discussion with a friend about the politics of Skyrim, I decided to load up the game and give it a go. Well, I didn’t just load up Skyrim, I opened up Mod Organizer, used it to load SKSE, which then loaded Skyrim. It took a couple of attempts, but after I disabled a bunch of mods, I got Skyrim working and realized I’d installed a mod that had simplified every texture. I also discovered that I only had one save and it was pretty new, left at Diplomatic Immunity. I decided I was just going to roll with… [Continue Reading]

The Skull of Siren Song

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

For the second part of Season 10 in Sea of Thieves, we’ve got a new voyage. Or world event. I’m not really sure. The Skull of Siren Song is a new thing which can give you lots of money, while also inviting other crews to battle with you. While it is basically a voyage with two treasure maps, the voyage pops up in the middle of nowhere, attached to your mast for you to accept. When you accept the quest for the Skull of Siren Song, Captain Briggsy, of Tall Tale fame, appears, asking you to find the Skull of… [Continue Reading]

Another Awesome Adventure on the Stormcloud

Medic 0 Comments , ,

Sometimes, we don’t play as Reapers when we play Sea of Thieves. Sometimes, we want to do other stuff. For example, Bacxaber, Fox and I wanted to do Merchant Emissary missions in order to level up our ledger. The ledger can give out some pretty nice rewards, and these tend to rotate on the regular. To get all the rewards, you need a certain amount of emissary value, which can be obtained by raising an emissary flag and selling loot for whatever faction you decide to join. This time round, we were doing Merchants, specifically Lost Shipments. Most of this… [Continue Reading]

Mareep Classic Community Day

Medic 0 Comments , , , , ,

On November 25th, we had the Classic Community Day of the season. This classic community day though wasn’t the most interesting one as it featured Mareep, the little fluffy electric sheep. Mareep is actually a pretty common Pokemon, regardless of season, and has been around for a long time. It also had a research weekend event where you’d complete research tasks in order to get Mareep. Still, Mareep Community Day is what we got, and, weirdly, it came with quarter egg-hatching distance, again. Personally though, I’ve been wanting this. Despite all my years of playing, I never managed to actually… [Continue Reading]

Thoughts On Wanting to Play League of Legends Again

Medic 0 Comments

I’ve been watching a lot of random stuff on Twitch lately and one of those things is League of Legends streams. I don’t know why, but I find them pretty interesting to listen to. The game has changed a lot since I last played, and there’s tons of new characters that I don’t recognize. It’s also interesting to see a variety of people playing a variety of champions. The game does seem to have chilled out a bit though. Watching these matches, things seem less toxic. Maybe it’s because I’m watching higher level streamers, but the anger isn’t nearly as… [Continue Reading]

Weird Behaviors on the High Seas

Medic 0 Comments

I don’t have THAT many hours on the Sea of Thieves, but I’ve played enough to see plenty of weird things. Pirates are curious creatures, however they sometimes act in ways that don’t make much sense. The first weird behavior is floating in the middle of the ocean with your anchor completely lowered and your sails down. It is the sign of a newbie, but I’ve seen Dark Adventurer ships do this. Leaving your anchor and sails down is probably the worst thing you can do. If you are parking your ship, you should ALWAYS keep your anchor raised and… [Continue Reading]

On Minecraft Combat

Medic 0 Comments

Minecraft combat these days is weird. We have swords, shields, tridents, bows and crossbows. There’s also things like splash potions and snowballs, as well as TNT and End Crystals. And these days, you can use an axe as efficiently as you can use a sword, depending on if you prefer fast damage or slow damage. Depending on what platform you’re on though, because Java and Bedrock Edition both treat axes differently. Combat wasn’t always like this though. For a long time, combat in Minecraft consisted mostly of using a sword and swinging it as fast as you can. Damage is… [Continue Reading]

On the Change to the Dark Adventurers Sails

Medic 0 Comments ,

In a video post on November 8th, Rare, the developers behind Sea of Thieves, announced that they’d be looking at the designs of several sails, and would be changing them to be more inline with all the other sails in the game. While there are several sails that are differently designed, the sails that most people are talking about are the Dark Adventurers sails. The Dark Adventurers sails are unique in two ways. The first way that the sails are unique is that they are very, very expensive. Like all the other Dark Adventurers items, the sails are incredibly expensive,… [Continue Reading]

Twitch Is So Game-y

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

I’ve been watching more stuff on Twitch lately. Due to my work, I don’t really want to watch something short on Youtube, or have to fiddle around picking something new to watch. Youtube’s autoplay feature can make some godawful selections, and it’s also been fucky with adblockers, unless you use uBlock Origin on not-Chrome. At the same time, I don’t really want to put on a 3 hour long Youtube video because I won’t be paying attention to it. But with Twitch, I can stick on a streamer playing a game I like, and just have some background noise for… [Continue Reading]
