A Quick Glance at the Spyro Reignited Trilogy

by
Spyro the Dragon

Everyone here knows that I love dragons, but it might be a bit of a surprise to hear that I was never really a massive Spyro the Dragon fan. Sure, I liked the games and had a few of them, but my first Spyro experiences were demo discs and Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly, which was one of the worst games of the early series, slow, laggy and taking five or more minutes to get to each level. I never played the newer series, but from what I’ve seen, I’m not missing out on much, although the free-flying in the last… [Continue Reading]

The Scaling Level of Pointlessness When It Comes to Cosmetics

by
All the cosmetics in the world and you only see them when you taunt.

It’s funny how some things come to you. I’ve got a good 1500+ hours playing Team Fortress 2, and it took me a good part of them to realise that cosmetics are actually almost completely pointless since you never actually see them. They are only ever seen by other people, unless you use that weird console command that shows your body. But even then, your head isn’t visible and you don’t even get to always see unusual effects. Aside from one obscure console command though, you’re dressing yourself up so you can look at yourself in menus. Any cosmetics you… [Continue Reading]

A Short Hike – A Cute Little Game

by
A Short Hike Good Peak

I don’t normally subscribe to things like Humble Monthly, but this month was an exception so I could get the Spyro Reignited Trilogy. I mean, I can’t say no to Spyro, Crash Bandicoot and a Call of Duty game for €12, can I? And alongside my purchase of Humble Monthly, I gained access to the Humble Trove, which contains a bunch of DRM-free games that I can download and forget about. That was how I managed to stumble into a Short Hike, published by the Humble Bundle group themselves. A Short Hike is a little exploration game where you control… [Continue Reading]

PUNCH IT TO DEATH – Darkrai and the Pokemon Go Halloween Event

by
Darkrai, ready to haunt something. Probably nightmares.

Pokemon Go’s Halloween event is up, and out of all the games I play regularly, Pokemon Go has had the best spooky event so far. Not only is the Spiritomb special research back, this time rewarding a Litwick and a Yamask as well as Spiritomb, there’s also a bunch of vaguely new things to do too, like a new level 5 raid boss. Most of the Pokemon Go Halloween event is pretty simple. Dark and Ghost type Pokemon are spawning more frequently, which I love because I’m still after a shiny Drifloon and shiny Houndour, and there’s a new costume… [Continue Reading]

It Finally Happened!

by
Medic surrounded by Houndooms and Houndours

It finally happened! The thing I always wanted! After over a YEAR of searching, of capturing nearly every single little fire doggo I’ve seen, of tapping on and inspecting every single one, it HAPPENED. I should be writing about some other crap right now but none of that matters any more because it finally happened! In fact, it happened at 11:07 in the morning on the 20th of November 2019, just before I stopped off at a bakery to get some breakfast. You see, I was in a bad mood. I’d wasted 15 great throws and 15 golden razzberries on… [Continue Reading]

Still Trying To Play Destiny 2

by
Floating in space above the Tower, waiting to go on my next mission.

I feel like I should like Destiny 2. Like I should have jumped in on day one and absolutely had a blast and then wanted to play it the next day. But after a couple of sessions, I find myself frustrated and not really sure what to think. Just the other day, I played for three hours, closed Destiny 2 because it was 2:15am and still felt kinda… not satisfied. For reasons unknown, it is still a struggle for me to get into Destiny 2. I’m not really sure where to begin, aside from the fact that I don’t want… [Continue Reading]

Waiiiiiit, Scream Fortress XI Happened?

by
Scream Fortress XI

Scream Fortress came a bit early this year, with very little going on with it. I didn’t make an article about it because there honestly was very little to write about, but what I DID do was make a fake update page for Scream Fortress XI (ELEVEN for those who can’t read Roman Numerals) because guess what, there wasn’t one this year. Then again, there hasn’t been a Scream Fortress update page since Scream Fortress 7, which means I’ve made a fake update page for the last 4 years. The result is a strange mess of scribbles which gets worse… [Continue Reading]

Maybe It’s Pyro Who Doesn’t Fit in Team Fortress 2, Not Just Sniper?

by
Pyro and Sniper by Medicinal Warlock

In all the years I played Team Fortress 2, there was always this long-standing belief that Sniper didn’t fit inside Team Fortress 2. As a character, he fits absolutely perfectly with a team of mercenaries and mad men, murdering because they are good at it and it pays well. But people have a strong dislike of Sniper because Sniper is often considered ill-fitting in terms of gameplay. After all, Sniper is a long ranged class in a game where most people have weapons with damage falloff over distance, running around with shotguns, pistols and mostly short range explosive weapons. Before… [Continue Reading]

Regigigas is Coming to Pokemon Go… If You Pay

by
Regi Regi Regi Regi

Okay, I’m going to be honest right now, Regigigas will be available in EX Raids after Mewtwo. But if you want Regigigas and a special research quest, the same way we received Jirachi, Mew, Meltan and Celebi, then you have to pay for it. For the small price of $7.99, you can buy an item that will allow you to access a special research task that leads you to Regigigas, and also gives you other nice things like a special pose and some premium raid passes. Well, you would have to pay for it if the special research task item… [Continue Reading]

Saints Row 2 is coming to PC…properly this time!

by

Saints Row 2 is among my favorite games of all time. It was the first one where the devs stopped trying to make gritty GTA clones and instead created a gangster sandbox that didn’t take itself seriously. Yet it was also before they veered off the deep end into wacky zany nonsensical insanity, which leaves Saints Row 2 as the perfect middle child of both worlds. Its one major problem is that the PC port is downright terrible, making it a chore to even see the great game underneath the choppy framerate, unplayable vehicle sections and constant crashes. But all… [Continue Reading]
