Medic Plays Definitely Not A Saints Row Game – Part 1

So we’re back here in Agents of Mayhem. You know, Definitely Not a Saints Row game. Despite all the purple. Anyway, with the tutorial out of the way, I’ve got a new mission to do and it involves unlocking a new character. Before I do that though, I have to go and see Gremlin, and there’s a Legion base I need to destroy. Let’s start with the Legion base. There are various Legion bases all over the map and I want to take them over and make them my own. Or, rather, make them into MAYHEM bases. This base in… [Continue Reading]

D&D 5e: A Guide to Playing Level 0 Characters

Did you know D&D 5e actually has an official method for generating 0th-level characters? The Adventurer’s League module “What’s Past is Prologue” stars classless characters, and you can view the rules for generating your own in the free preview. I was pretty excited to learn this, as the ‘level 0 session’ is a popular unofficial method for playing underpowered ‘commoner runs.’ Today I wanted to talk about this niche ruleset, its pros and cons, and whether you should use it. Should you use Level 0 characters? My first caveat is that you should not run level 0 characters for beginning… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays Definitely Not A Saints Row Game – Part 0

Does anyone here remember Agents of Mayhem? No? I don’t blame you. Agents of Mayhem is a game made by the same people who made Saints Rows 3 to 4. But it isn’t a Saints Row game. It’s definitely not one. Agents of Mayhem is a whole solo adventure set in another city, not at all related to the Saints Row series. Except, well, it really looks like a Saints Row game, what with all the familiar purple symbols everywhere. Anyway, it’d be wrong to judge a game by its cover, so I’ve decided to play Agents of Mayhem, just… [Continue Reading]

D&D 5e: How to Build an Effective Naked Character

Okay, you don’t literally have to be naked, but this article is about unarmored builds and how to craft one that doesn’t sacrifice effectiveness or survivability. I always find myself gravitating to unarmored characters because it fits my personal fantasy of a heroic protagonist. From shirtless barbarians to suit-wearing badasses to unlucky everyman survivors… Fiction is filled with characters who take on the world without a shred of protection beyond their skills and smarts. But unfortunately, D&D’s primary form of AC is equipping armor (heck, the acronym literally means ‘Armor Class.’) Which means you need to keep some things in mind… [Continue Reading]

Happy Birthday, Team Fortress 2

On October 10th 2007, Team Fortress 2 was released. Now, 15 years later, it’s still going strong. Okay, maybe not that strong, but we are still getting a handful of updates to this day. The yearly Scream Fortress event has been activated and we just got a handful of cool and interesting maps. There are still plenty of players picking up the game, and it’s still Free to Play. While there may not be as many active players as there used to be, it’s still easy enough to jump into a server and just start playing. Admittedly, it’s been hard… [Continue Reading]

Little Things I’d Like To See Fixed or Changed in Warframe

One of the nice things about Warframe is that every update is free, and so are all the bugs and glitches and stuff. However, these things are quickly patched up in hotfixes. However, there are tons of tiny little things that can sit unfixed for a long, long time. Sometimes, they’re not really actually broken, they’re just… not very good. They’re little things I’d like to see fixed or changed. Blast Procs Blast used to be my favourite damage type. It was amazing, because it could ragdoll enemies and send them flying. Blast is the reason I kept the Sonicor… [Continue Reading]

A Weird Gyarados Event

On October 8th, we had an event in Pokemon GO featuring Mega Gyarados. This was a raid event, in which every raid was a Mega Gyarados, with a higher chance of getting a shiny one. Everyone would get 5 free raid passes, and there was plenty of Mega Candy to be earned. But this event didn’t go as smoothly as everyone would have liked. The event started early At 11am, a Mega Gyarados spawned over the two new gyms near my home. Which was surprising, because the event was scheduled to start at 2pm. Turns out, Niantic started the event… [Continue Reading]

Things I’d Like Pokemon Buddies to do

I love the whole buddy system in Pokemon GO. It’s like having a little virtual companion that doesn’t need much maintenance. However, considering how long it takes to get to Best Buddies, the incentives for doing so are a bit… lackluster. So today I’ll be musing about some extra incentives that I’d like to see. Spin Pokestops Buddies actually already have a thing to do with pokestops, but it’s not that useful. After all, we can already see Pokestops we haven’t visited yet. The buddy just doesn’t do anything useful. However, we can put our Pokemon to work by having… [Continue Reading]

Early Thoughts and Speculations on Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

I’m not normally one to speculate about new Pokemon games. After all, I only really play Pokemon GO, which is currently in spooky mode. But after having played Pokemon Sword, I think I cam finally look forward to a new Pokemon game. So far, I’ve liked what I’ve seen with Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. But I do have some thoughts. What I don’t have are any pictures, so have this picture of the Kanto starters. Because I’m pretty certain we’ll get some new form for Charizard. Not seen many new Pokemon Cyclizar in particular stands out. It’s a Dragon/Normal type… [Continue Reading]

The Curiosity that is Meltan

The other day, while I was making room in my backpack in Pokemon GO, I scrolled past the Mysterious Box. This box is obtained by transferring a Pokemon to either Pokemon Let’s Go! or Pokemon Home. Opening the box releases a mysterious scent that attracts a very unusual Pokemon. This Pokemon is Meltan, the most unusual of Mythical Pokemon. A Unique Mythical It turns out, Meltan is unique in a lot of different ways. Not only is Meltan a Pokemon you can get multiple of, but it’s also the only mythical that is obtained outside of the main Pokemon game… [Continue Reading]
