The Lapras Raid Event

May 26, 2019May 25, 2019 Medic 0 Comments lapras, pokemon go, raid, raid boss, shiny

I kinda wish Niantic would do more Raid events like the Lapras raid event that just happened. Like the Legendary Birds raid events and the Gengar raid day, the Lapras raid day stuck a raid on every single available gym (assuming it didn’t already have a raid on it) that’s available for three hours. During this time you have an increased chance of getting a shiny (which is a guaranteed catch if you get a shiny from a successful raid) and everyone gets 5 free orange Raid Passes, valid only for the raid event. When I first heard of the… [Continue Reading]

An Unwelcome Monologue

May 25, 2019May 24, 2019 Medic 0 Comments lore, natah, ropalolyst, sentient, spoilers, warframe

The Jovian Concord brings with it some very strange new… story elements. We discovered in the later end of Night Wave episode 1 that Alad V was making Amalgam beings – beings that were part Sentient, part something else, and that whole Sentient Hybrid thing is basically a massive part of this new update. Actually, it’s the main theme of this update, probably more so than “Jupiter gets a makeover”. There’s more Sentients in this update than on the Plains of Eidolon. And the Plains of Eidolon are covered with bits of dead Sentient. Spoilers ahead, by the way. But… [Continue Reading]

Jupiter’s New Look – The Jovian Accord

May 24, 2019May 23, 2019 Medic 0 Comments jovian accord, jupiter, update, warframe

The Jovian Accord is Warframe’s latest big update, featuring a new boss fight, a new game mode, a new Warframe, some new weapons, some new enemies and, most importantly, a complete do-over of the Jupiter Gas City Tileset. Now, the Gas City Tileset isn’t really that old. In fact, there are plenty of planets that actually needed reworks way before Jupiter did. Saturn, the other major gas giant, shares all the same tilesets that Mercury does and has most of its missions on Grineer ships. Meanwhile, Neptune and Pluto both share tilesets with Venus and Europa. But alas, we got… [Continue Reading]

A Few Thoughts for Four Games of Fortnite

May 23, 2019May 21, 2019 Medic 0 Comments Fortnite

So I played Fortnite. I’ve actually had it installed for a while, for so long in fact that when I actually got around to actually playing it with actual people, I had to download a 6GB update. And… despite the huge fan base, despite the love it or hate it attitude people have, I… I kinda don’t really have much to say about it. I mean, I have things I could say about it, but none of it is particularly interesting and most of what I have to say has probably already been said before. I’m going to try and… [Continue Reading]

Now for Something Completely Different

The Hell That Is Sourcing Stock Images

May 21, 2019May 20, 2019 Medic 0 Comments image, images, pictures, pixabay, stock, stock images

I am so thankful for the existence of free image and royalty-free stock image websites exist. Because without them, I don’t know what I’d do. Why? Because a lot of people forget that images are made and sometimes belong to people. Images, just like music and TV and things like that, have usage rights and licenses. And those usage rights can vary greatly. You do a Google Image search, you’ll find a bunch of images for pretty much anything and everything. But depending on the image, who it belongs to and where it’s hosted, you can’t just use an image… [Continue Reading]

Torchic Community Day

May 20, 2019 Medic 0 Comments community day, pokemon go, torchic

I really enjoyed the Torchic Community Day. Just like the previous Bagon and Totodile ones, the Torchic Community day gave us three hours of KFC battered and breaded chicken fun as we baked in the sun while throwing balls at cute digital flightless birds. Mostly. Torchic Day was on Sunday rather than Saturday this month, meaning I saw a few more people wandering around. There’s normally two good spots to camp and catch Pokemon – the harbour and town hall and while I’ve always opted for town hall (because it’s shadier and you don’t get harassed by people trying to… [Continue Reading]

No Longer Being Safe in Water

May 19, 2019May 17, 2019 Medic 0 Comments minecraft, water

It’s no longer safe to be in water in Minecraft any more. Actually, nowhere in Minecraft in general is safe, because there are so many enemies that wander around, even during the day. But water was the one place I considered to always be safe and it really isn’t any more. I’m not saying that water used to be better. In fact, bodies of water used to be pretty crap. Back in Minecraft 1.8 (and a lot of previous versions as well), water was boring. There was literally nothing in it apart from, well, water. Oceans were vast, empty masses… [Continue Reading]

Leafeon, Glaceon, Shellos, Gible and more have arrived in Pokemon Go!

May 18, 2019 Medic 0 Comments eevee, glaceon, leafeon, pokemon go, update

*Assuming you have 200 coins or someone to buy a special lure for you. The last few Pokemon of the Sinnoh Region have finally arrived! After being left behind for a damn long time, not to mention the fact that some Pokemon from Generation 3 still aren’t available, we can finally grab the last few non-Legendary Pokemon for the Sinnoh Pokedex! The most recent Pokemon Go update, straight after the Detective Pikachu event, has brought out the remaining, more interesting Pokemon and dumped them into the wild. Except for Rotom and a bunch of Legendaries and Mythicals, but most of… [Continue Reading]

How to Level Up Quickly With Solaris United

May 17, 2019May 15, 2019 Medic 0 Comments exploiter orb, fortuna, guide, solaris united, syndicates, tips, warframe

Grinding for Standing to level up with various Syndicates can feel boring and repetitive and often feel that it’s not worth it. That’s because the Syndicate grind IS boring and repetitive. The only way it isn’t boring and repetitive is to be an older player who has a massive backlog of Syndicate Medallions for the 6 angry Syndicates and a ton of spare resources for Solaris United, Vox Solaris and the Quills, in the form of Debt Bonds, Toroids and Sentient Cores. Sure, sure, you can spend all your life fishing and mining, mainly for Cetus and Solaris United, but… [Continue Reading]
