Pokemon That Are Hard To Transfer

July 25, 2023July 14, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, pokemon go

In Pokemon GO, you have rather limited storage space. A new player generally has enough space for 300 Pokemon and items. But there are a lot of Pokemon to collect. The default space allows for all of Gen 1 and Gen 2 to be collected, but most of the time, the Pokemon you pick up aren’t very good and often quickly get transferred. However, there are plenty of Pokemon which are a bit more valuable, and are much harder to transfer. As you play, you collect more and more Pokemon. While it’s easy to transfer any Pokemon with low stats,… [Continue Reading]

Riolu Hatch Day – Unimpressive

July 23, 2023July 22, 2023 Medic 2 Comments 2km, eggs, hatch day, lucario, pokemon go, riolu

On July 22nd, we had a new event. Called a Hatch Day, the idea is that a Pokemon with an increased shiny chance appears in 2km eggs, and all the eggs you can get are 2km eggs. Riolu Hatch Day was the first of this kind of event, and, well, it wasn’t great. During the middle of a heatwave in Europe and the middle of winter in the southern hemisphere, this was not the best time to be walking outside to hatch eggs. Luckily, I managed to find somewhere cool to walk, and spent most of the event in the… [Continue Reading]

The Legend of Monkey Island – A Tall Tale – Part 1

July 22, 2023July 21, 2023 Medic 0 Comments monkey island, sea of thieves, tall tale

The Legend of Monkey Island has just released in the Sea of Thieves, and it’s pretty damn cool. The release involves Melee Island and a Tall Tale that introduces you to the new island and its lore. What we have seen so far is a Part 1 of Monkey Island, with the release of a second and third Tall Tale coming along next month. Now, I’ll be honest, I don’t really know much about the original Monkey Island games, but that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy it. Because I really did enjoy this tall tale. The first thing that stood… [Continue Reading]

The Sea in Sea of Thieves

July 21, 2023July 9, 2023 Medic 0 Comments sea of thieves, water

When the title of your game has the word ‘sea’ in it, you can expect that it’s, well, going to have a sea. Hopefully a cool sea that actually works. The sea in Sea of Thieves is actually pretty damn impressive. It actually does kind feel like an actual sea. And I feel like that is worth talking about. When sailing, you can feel pretty much every wave. You splash up and down and even sideways. The boat rocks with the sea, depending on how harsh the sea is. You remain calm and steady in clear waters, which are generally… [Continue Reading]

The Sea of Thieves’ Harpoon

July 20, 2023July 9, 2023 Medic 0 Comments fun, harpoon, sea of thieves

On every ship, big and small, there’s always two harpoons waiting for you on the front of your ship. For what looks like such a simple mechanic, the harpoons are there for a myriad of reasons, and have more uses than you’d think. The most common use for a harpoon is for grabbing things in the water. Whenever you defeat an enemy ship, once the ship has sunk and despawned, all their loot comes floating up to the surface. You can then get on your harpoon and start grabbing the floating loot, for safe storage on your ship. Now, these… [Continue Reading]

Return of the Obra Dinn

July 19, 2023July 20, 2023 aabicus 0 Comments mystery, obra dinn, recommendation, retrospective, return of the obra dinn, review, water

I seem to have a habit of abandoning games due to frustration with the core gameplay mechanics, giving it another go 5+ years later, and only then getting completely hooked. It happened with Just Cause 2, World of Warcraft, Stardew Valley, ARK Survival Evolved, and now it’s happened with Return of the Obra Dinn, Lucas Pope’s latest bureaucracy-themed indie game. Set on an 1800s ghost ship that mysteriously returned to dock with none of its passengers or crew aboard, the player controls an insurance inspector who boards the vessel tasked with learning the fates of all 60 missing persons. The core… [Continue Reading]

Random Pokemon Showcases

July 18, 2023July 17, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, showcase

During the 7th Anniversary Event in Pokemon GO, we were introduced to a new feature in Pokemon GO: Showcases. Appearing on random Pokestops, you’d have the opportunity to put your Pokemon in a Showcase, and whichever Pokemon had the best stat – in this case, size – would win their owner some small rewards. These showcases would only appear on specific Pokestops, and you can enter any Pokemon that matches the criteria. In the case of the 7th Anniversary event, it was “biggest Squirtle”. However, these showcases were initially brief, and they disappeared for most of the rest of the… [Continue Reading]

Summer 2023 – A TF2 Update

July 16, 2023July 15, 2023 Medic 0 Comments Team Fortress 2, update, yes really there was an update

So that Team Fortress 2 update is finally here. It’s nothing super special, but it’s here. They didn’t even really give the update a proper name. It’s just Summer 2023. First off, we got a lot of maps. We actually got 14 new maps, which is the most maps from any update so far. I can see why they added so many though, because, well, they are easy to add. Sure, a lot of work and time goes into creating these maps, but for Valve, they are super easy to implement and add to the game. I’d actually guess that… [Continue Reading]

Warframe Cosmetics You Can Get For Free

July 15, 2023July 6, 2023 Medic 0 Comments cosmetics, fashionframe, free, warframe

The end game of Warframe is generally considered to be FashionFrame, the dressing up and customizing of your Warframe. Considering how varied cosmetics are, you’d think that FashionFrame is actually very expensive. While, yes, some cosmetics do cost a small fortune, you can however manage to dress yourself up for free, spending time and effort rather than just buying things. Here’s a list of free cosmetics you can get, where you don’t need to pay a real-life penny at all. Colour palettes Throughout the year, there are actually multiple free colour palettes you can obtain. For St. Patrick’s Day, Easter,… [Continue Reading]
