On Ultra Beast Raids

Medic 0 Comments , ,

The Ultra Beasts in Pokemon are a weird concept. They’re basically legendary Pokemon but not. All of them are from different dimensions and only appear in our real world via wormholes – Ultra Wormholes. These Pokemon have amazing strength, and, despite not being Legendary Pokemon, they have similar stats and details. And now these mysterious Pokemon are appearing in Pokemon GO as well. They’re pretty cool. I must admit, the designs for the Ultra Beasts are pretty cool. You can tell that they’re not normal Pokemon just by looking at them. There is one thing that does help separate these… [Continue Reading]

SPARK, WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU?

Medic 1 Comment , ,

The other day, I opened Pokemon Go as normal, to do some research, catch some Pokemon, you know. Normal stuff. I did a Team Rocket battle and got a Shinx with a hat on it. That was weird. But what was weirder was when I appraised my Shinx. Spark was… different. He was very suddenly not very cool. Normally, Spark wears this cool black leather jacket with yellow trims and an awesome Zapdos necklace. But that look was clearly no more. For some reason, Spark ditched his normal clothes and made himself look like a stoner. He didn’t even have… [Continue Reading]

Things To Nominate In Pokemon GO (and Ingress Prime)

Medic 0 Comments , ,

When you reach level 38 in Pokemon GO, you unlock the ability to nominate Pokestops. Basically, you go through a form, where you take some pictures, add a title and description and explain what a thing is and why it should be a Pokestop. Your nomination is then sent to Niantic Wayfarer, where people can scrutinize and vote on your submission and either accept it or reject it. However, this can be a struggle. Even if you go to the Wayfarer website, there are lots of boxes that need to be ticked. And, because people are, well, people, it’s quite… [Continue Reading]

Is Dynamax Just Mega Evolutions for Everyone?

Medic 0 Comments , ,

The other day, I was looking up fake Pokemon, and also found myself looking at fake Mega Evolutions. Although fake Pokemon are generally quite cool, I find that fake Megas are even cooler. You’re taking a cool Pokemon and making it bigger and cooler by using a special crystal ball thingy. Well, most of the time. Sometimes even mediocre Pokemon get awesome upgrades. They both work similarly The rules are very similar. You can only Mega Evolve or Dynamax one Pokemon in a battle, afterwards you’re locked out of it. During your Mega Evolution or Dynamax, you get a shot… [Continue Reading]

Pokemon GO’s Mega Evolutions Aren’t So Bad Any More

Medic 1 Comment , ,

When Mega Pokemon came out, no one was particularly happy. The time and effort required to actually get a Mega Pokemon was incredibly demanding. And to make matters worse, these Pokemon could only be mega-evolved for 4 hours at a time. Everything about the whole system felt incredibly wrong. But lately, Mega Evolutions don’t feel nearly as bad as they used to be. There’s been improvements. One or two raids The first and biggest change is the number of raids you have to do. Originally, you’d get 50-80 Mega Candy per Mega Raid you did. This meant that, for the… [Continue Reading]

Just Some More Cool Small Youtube Channels that I’d Like to Recommend

Medic 0 Comments , ,

A while back, due to writers’ block, I recommended a bunch of Youtube channels. The idea was to showcase smaller channels because, frankly, my recommendation feed from Youtube is too busy. Youtube always wants to recommend channels with huge numbers of viewers. Sometimes though, a smaller channel will slip through. And sometimes these channels catch my eye. Learning Curve The first channel I’d like to recommend is Learning Curve. On this channel, we are treated to various interesting science topics, such as Brown Dwarf stars, the biology of bees and strange paradoxes. Oddly enough, this channel is quite new to… [Continue Reading]

Fishing for Fortunes

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

I like fishing mini-games. They are almost always rather quiet and peaceful. It’s a chance to stop, take a break and, well, catch some fish. And by catching fish, we can slowly accumulate fortunes, much more money than you would think. My original fishing experiences come from Minecraft. Originally, fishing was genuinely slow and bad. You could only catch fish or random junk. That was only ever on vanilla Minecraft though. Many survival multiplayer servers however had plugins or mods that would make things more interesting. One of the earlier servers I played on, the more you used a tool… [Continue Reading]

On Ammo Nerfs

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

So, part of the Veilbreaker update came with some form of balancing. For a while now, explosive weapons have dominated throughout all areas of Warframe’s PvE content, and people were getting tired of it. I can understand why, because no one likes running after someone just picking up loot. However, rather than just nerfing everything into the ground, we ended up with, well, ammo. Both in magazine sizes and how much ammo we can hold.  It’s quite interesting. Only two types of ammo. We used to have loads of types of ammo. Ammo for most weapon types, funnily enough. But… [Continue Reading]

Mindless Violence

Lynn 0 Comments

Editor’s note: The article you are about to read was originally written in 2008 by my mum, an all-round amazing woman. Today marks two years after her passing, so, instead of writing something myself, I am publishing this article in her memory. Mum was simply the best, a lunatic with a huggable exterior and a sharp wit inside her mind. It’s an honour to be able to share some more of her work with you. I hope you all enjoy this sliver of my mum’s brilliance and insanity. There’s nothing wrong with a spot of mindless violence, I say. Not… [Continue Reading]

It Should Have Been Ramsey

Medic 0 Comments , ,

So a while back, we went into Ramsey’s office, only to see the word GUILTY scribbled across the walls. The Pirate Lord seemed completely unaware of this, and was just chilling out there. The signs all pointed towards a murder mystery, the case of the death of DeMarco, Ramsey’s son. From this picture, it seemed as if Ramsey had definitely done something wrong and was somehow connected to the death of his son, perhaps killing his son himself. This was all part of a murder mystery event, somewhat spurred on via Twitter. And, after a few weeks, we uncovered the… [Continue Reading]
