Things That Annoy Me About The Buddy System in Pokemon GO

October 4, 2023September 22, 2023 Medic 0 Comments buddy, pokemon go, rant

I like the buddy system in Pokemon GO. It’s very simple and basic, but it’s nice to have a companion Pokemon that follows you around and gives you certain gifts and buffs as you level your buddy up. But the system is certainly not perfect, and there are definitely some things that annoy me. My first pet peeve is feeding buddies with berries. You need three berries initially to get started and have your buddy wander around, and feeding it additional berries will keep your buddy out in the real world. To earn hearts, you have to feed your buddy… [Continue Reading]

One of Those Days Where You Don’t Want to Write

October 3, 2023September 21, 2023 Medic 0 Comments ramble

I am in a funny mood today. I don’t really want to do anything. I just want to sit around and watch some classic UK-based television shows. Normally, I’m not like this, I’m normally a busy bee, keeping myself occupied with various things, mostly Youtube, writing and video games, although I occasionally do some art too. That being said, I haven’t drawn anything cool in ages. But today is different. There’s laziness in the air and I find myself not wanting to do anything. In particular though, I find myself not wanting to write. This is a bit of a… [Continue Reading]

The Third Monkey Island Tall Tale was Fun

October 2, 2023September 30, 2023 Medic 0 Comments monkey island, sea of thieves

Finally, we got the third Tall Tale from the Monkey Island series. We finally get to properly help Guybrush and defeat LeChuck once and for all. But we’ve got a lot of work to do in order to save the day! And it all starts by going through a portal, to a mystical paradise. The island is fun to explore The Lair of LeChuck takes place not on Melee Island but Monkey Island. Monkey Island feels like a big place and has a lot of exploring to do on it. Most of the puzzle solving went on up here, and… [Continue Reading]

400 Pokemon in 6 Days

October 1, 2023September 18, 2023 Medic 0 Comments

I don’t normally consider myself a hardcore player. I do play Pokemon GO daily, and I do have a lot of Pokemon, but there’s quite a few things I don’t do. For example, I don’t play in the GBL or really do any PvP stuff, because I find it boring and somewhat luck-based with the bugs and lag that you get while playing. But I can’t really call myself a casual player either, because I’m over level 40, on my way to level 45 and frankly I probably play a little bit too much. However, I recently realized just I’m… [Continue Reading]

On Starter Pokemon in Pokemon GO

September 30, 2023September 17, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, starter

Starter Pokemon in Pokemon GO are kinda weird. Almost all of them are somewhat useless until they get their Community Day moves. However, the time it takes to get a Community Day move is generally quite a while. For example, Greninja was unable to get his Community Day moves for a good year or so, maybe two. And at the same time, Charmander’s evolution Charizard already has two Community Day moves. One of which is honestly kinda useless outside of PvP. However, most starter Pokemon are missing out, and even fewer manage to get their signature moves. Greninja and Blaziken… [Continue Reading]

My Favourite Picks from the Warframe Soundtrack

September 29, 2023September 16, 2023 Medic 0 Comments music, soundtrack, tracks, warframe

I love Warframe’s soundtrack. It’s always been a standout part of Warframe as a whole, and the music really gives the game an edge. But there are certain tracks that I feel go above and beyond. Songs that get stuck in my head all the time. Here are some of my favourites. Sleeping in the Cold Below I actually kinda missed this song in Call of the Tempestarii. When it came out, I thought Sleeping in the Cold Below was awesome, and I did write an article about it. However, when I played the Call of the Tempestarii quest, I… [Continue Reading]

The Lotus – A Mistake Was Made

September 28, 2023September 15, 2023 Medic 2 Comments lore, lotus, new war, warframe

It’s been a while since I played The New War. I kinda rushed through the quest because I didn’t really playing as Drifter. I was also rather annoyed at how little war was actually in The New War. Sure, we had things like Scarlet Spear, Chimera Prologue, Apostasy and the Murexes leading up to The New War, but these events were far too spread out to have any meaningful impact on the New War itself. But while I played and eventually finished The New War, I realized that I had made a massive mistake. Before I continue, if you haven’t… [Continue Reading]

Halo’s Digsite Matters (Review; Spoiler-Free)

September 27, 2023September 14, 2023 Glacier 0 Comments bungie, halo

Cresting the first hill on Spasm, Halo comes full circle. “If you can at all help it, don’t be a launch title.” – Jaimie Griesemer, GDC 2002 One wonders if Bungie felt a twinge of regret as they compiled Halo’s gold master in Fall 2001. Maybe they were too exhausted to feel much of anything. Nonetheless, the game had shipped, and its ten month crunch had finally come to an end. As businessmen, they’d go on to triumph: Halo carried Microsoft’s Xbox, smashing all of its sales targets within the year and surpassing the coveted million mark by April of… [Continue Reading]

How the Psychic Spectacular event could have been more Spectacular

September 26, 2023September 22, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, pokemon go, psychic

The Psychic Spectacular event comes by every year, generally after the Ultra Unlock events end. It’s an event that bridges the gap between the GO Fest rush and the October spooky events. However, this year’s Psychic Spectacular was rather boring. Here’s how it could have been better. More psychic types We did get a few psychic types but they’re all mostly old ones. While some people may need Exeggcute for the Meltan special research, most other Pokemon are somewhat recent or kinda spawn already. We already had a Slowpoke community day, Spoink is useless and a common grunt in Team… [Continue Reading]

Editor’s note: This article was written by my mum. Today marks the third year since my mum passed away, and I am posting this in memory of her. Her passing was sudden, and the world became a darker place without her presence. Mum was a wonderful woman and the best mum ever. I hope you enjoy this article, which gives us just a small glance into her insane and magnificent mind. My son has a stock range of questions that he brings up roughly every 2 days or so to either confirm an answer I have previously given or to… [Continue Reading]
