Pokemon Shield and Feeling Deflated

So I’ve been playing Pokemon Shield for a while now. I’ve finished the main story and become the champion already. But I am still picking the game up occasionally. Why? Mostly to try and fill my Pokedex. Even if it’s a futile effort. But there is something bothering me about Pokemon Shield, and it’s the difficulty. The game is too easy. In fact, it’s insanely easy. To the point that I didn’t lose a single battle in the entirety of the main story. Only a handful of characters were of any challenge to me. Heck, even Leon, with his Gigantamax… [Continue Reading]

My 5 Favourite Useless Pokemon

Let’s face it, not all Pokemon are equal. Or even close to equal in any way what so ever. Still, that doesn’t mean you can’t love a Pokemon, if it isn’t very good. You can love a Pokemon no matter how useless they are. And here are some of the useless Pokemon I happen to love. Shiny Wurmple JUST LOOK AT IT! LOOK HOW CUTE IT IS! Okay, I’ll calm down. But honestly, I do very much like all the shiny low level bug types. They;re a big part of the beginning of any Pokemon game, being small and soft… [Continue Reading]

Why the Heck was Hisuian Voltorb in 7km Eggs?

Pokemon GO’s egg system is probably the most gamble-y thing in Pokemon GO. While it’s nice to walk eggs and see what you hatch, the odds are rarely in your favour. In fact, some eggs are awful, with low chances of hatching anything that’s vaguely good. In fact, most of the time, I find myself hatching things that I could have caught in the wild. However, I think I’ve stumbled across one of the worst eggs around. 7KM eggs 7km eggs have always been in an awkward slot. You can somewhat control how you obtain them, by opening gifts while… [Continue Reading]

Finally Burnt Out on Warframe

According to Steam, I have over 4000 hours in Warframe. I’m a Legendary Rank 1 Tenno, and among the earliest people to reach Mastery Rank 30. Up until Angels of the Zariman, I had managed to acquire pretty much every weapon in Warframe. I even went and bought the MR30 real life pin badge, because I could and because it looked cool. However, I haven’t properly played Warframe in about a month and a half. It seems that, finally, after 4000 hours, I’m finally burnt out from my space ninja game. But why though? Why am I burnt out? Well,… [Continue Reading]

A Massive Sea of Thieves Adventure on the Stormcloud

The other day, the Stormcloud set off from an outpost, ready for adventure. The plan was simple: get supplies, then make our way towards leveling up Reapers. After a somewhat unenjoyable session the day before, there were high hopes that our new session would be better. Those high hopes were very quickly met, and became one of our biggest and best adventures yet. Simply put, it was insane. So here’s what happened. A Calm Beginning Our day started off quite simple. We raised our flag as Reapers, then set off to get supplies. The first thing we did was take… [Continue Reading]

5 Pokemon that are Pretty Damn Useless in Pokemon GO

Not all Pokemon are equal. In fact, there’s a ton of inequality in these pocket monsters. On the one hand you have cute birds and little mice. On the other hand, you have terrifying monsters that can flood the entire world. These Pokemon, and every Pokemon between them, can be used by us to participate in battles and raids and things like that. However, there are some Pokemon that are different. They lack something that sets them apart from the rest of their species. Here are five Pokemon who are pretty damn useless in Pokemon GO. Party Hat Nidorino For… [Continue Reading]

On Playing as Reapers in the Sea of Thieves

So far, while playing Sea of Thieves, we’ve mostly been doing the same few things. But we always do these things as an Emissary, earning experience for different factions. Outside of Veil missions, the Stormcloud are often representing the Reapers’ Bones, and the faction is somewhat frowned upon. Why? Because, although they spend a lot of time doing the same things as other ships, the Reapers are generally considered the PvP faction. And it turns out not everyone is a fan of the Reapers’ Bones. Or PvP in general. Reapers are easy to avoid Well, they’re super easy to avoid,… [Continue Reading]

Pokemon Camping is Fun

In Pokemon Sword and Shield, you can go camping! At the start of the game, you are given a whole camping bag that contains all the stuff you need to pitch a tent and chill out with your Pokemon buddies. It’s actually a pretty cute little distraction, and adds a nice social aspect to the game. You can camp alone or with NPCs, let your Pokemon get some fresh air and do some cooking. And, unlike Dynamax raids, you don’t need to worry about a Solrock buffing itself 4 times before having its stats reset by the raid boss. It’s… [Continue Reading]

This New, Blue Daily Incense is Pretty Cool

Pokemon GO is best played in a town or city that has lots of Pokestops. Lots of Pokestops means lots of Pokemon to be caught. Some Pokestops turn into gyms, which teams battle over for control. However, the further you travel away from a city, the less Pokemon you find and the amount of Pokestops and gyms swiftly decreases. Often to the point that nothing spawns. Basically, if you live somewhere too rural, Pokemon GO can be nigh unplayable. There have been attempts to fix Pokemon GO for rural players. One of the earlier ones was allowing players at level… [Continue Reading]

On Steve, Soulframe, Warframe and New Ambitions

At the end of Tennocon 2022, we got a reveal of a brand new game, one that is now in development. Soulframe is going to be a brand new game, leaning much further towards fantasy over science fiction. Digital Extremes are now making two games instead of just one, which means that some people are going to move towards Soulframe. Most notably, the biggest person moving to the new Soulframe project is Steve Sinclair, the creative director of Warframe. You know, the guy who has led Warframe through thick and thin, all the way back to Warframe’s humble beginning as… [Continue Reading]
