Season 11 Has Been Great

March 29, 2024March 23, 2024 Medic 0 Comments sea of thieves, season 11

Season 11 of Sea of Thieves has been great. There, I said it. I’ve actually been meaning to do an overview of the season for a while, because, well, it’s actually pretty big. Season 11’s biggest change is how you get voyages. It used to be that you had to go to an outpost and buy a voyage to do, or go to one of the Tall Tale folks on the same outposts to start a Tall Tale. Now, all of that can be done on your ship, and for zero gold cost. You can also unlock and sail to… [Continue Reading]

On Getting the Gold Curse

March 28, 2024March 22, 2024 Medic 0 Comments cosmetics, gold curse, sea of thieves, stain of greed, tall tales

Curses in the Sea of Thieves are always hard to obtain. Apart from the Order of Souls Curse. That kinda only requires you to do one easy Tall Tale. The Ashen Curse isn’t much harder, although it does require you to do three different obstacle courses and repeat a timed escape thingy three times. However, there are three curses that are genuinely a pain in the ass to get. The Ghost and Skeleton Curses are rewards for reaching level 100 in the two PvP factions, but, if you are patient, you can slowly earn these without winning a single match.… [Continue Reading]

New Pokemon In Eggs Suck

March 27, 2024March 20, 2024 Medic 0 Comments eggs, incubator, pokemon go, rng

Another event, another singular new Pokemon and yet again, it’s a Pokemon in an egg. The last few new Pokemon have either been in raids or in eggs. Drampa was in raids, while Revaroom and Charcadet were both locked in eggs. But while new raid Pokemon aren’t too bad, when it comes to egg Pokemon, it is 100% luck. The thing is, you can actively hunt down a new Pokemon either in raids or in the wild. At the very least, finding your first wild new Pokemon is easy, because they have priority on the Nearby radar. Sure, with a… [Continue Reading]

The Shores of Gold Are A Let Down

March 26, 2024March 20, 2024 Medic 0 Comments sea of thieves, shores of gold, shroudbreaker, tall tale

In my journey to do more of Sea of Thieves’ Tall Tales, I finally managed to start the Shroudbreaker Tall Tale, in which we take the cursed artifact we’ve been putting together in the previous Tall Tales and finally go to the Shores of Gold, the abandoned island hidden within the fog and the red sea, which destroys all ships that pass through it. The Shroudbreaker though allows us to pass through without harm, and we finally reach this mystical place. Except, well, it’s… kinda lame. There’s not even much gold. Even Captain Briggsy, in her journals, is disappointed at… [Continue Reading]

Get Your Shadow Groudon

March 25, 2024March 23, 2024 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, shadow pokemon

On Wednesday March 27th, we’ll be getting a new Team Rocket special research, in which we can save Shadow Groudon. Now, people around here might know that Groudon is one of my favourite Legendary Pokemon, and I’m desperate for a chance to add one to my collection. Shadow Groudon will definitely be a good Pokemon to have, since it not only does good damage, but it also isn’t a complete glass cannon, meaning it won’t die instantly. The same can’t be said for Shadow Darumaka/Darmanitan, which are also coming in the World of Wonders: Taken Over event starting on the… [Continue Reading]

Primal Groudon Raid Day

March 24, 2024March 23, 2024 Medic 0 Comments groudon, pokemon go, primal reversion, raid day

These constant raid days have been great, but damn, my luck has been all over the damn place. Primal Groudon Raid Day is the raid day I’ve been waiting for for a long, long time. One of my goals in Pokemon GO was to get my 100% Groudon to level 50, but it’s becoming more and more clear that this isn’t going to happen, not for a long time, and not without walking every single good Groudon I have. This raid day was pretty much identical to the Primal Kyogre Raid day, except easier. Primal Groudon, being a dual ground/fire… [Continue Reading]

Anyone Else Kinda Tired of Pawmi?

March 23, 2024March 17, 2024 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go

Pawmi is one of those Pokemon. The small, cute, annoying electric type critter that HAS to appear in every single Pokemon game. All vaguely based around Pikachu. Sometimes they look insanely like Pikachu (like Dedenne and Plusle and Minun), sometimes they aren’t quite as obvious (like Pacharisu and Pawmi) but they’re all electric types and they are all a pain the butt. And, just like Pikachu, they always seem to outstay their welcome. And right now, Pawmi has outstayed its welcome in Pokemon GO. This Pokemon has been around for ages. It popped up in the Paldea season (two seasons… [Continue Reading]

Working My Way Through Tall Tales

March 22, 2024March 20, 2024 Medic 0 Comments sea of thieves, tall tales

Tall Tales in Sea of Thieves are basically story quests. It turns out, the pirate sandbox game has a decent backstory, when it can be bothered to tell it and not hide it away in one-off adventures and events. There are three main ‘series’ of Tall Tales, the original 9 Sea of Thieves Tall Tales, the five Pirates of the Caribbean Tall Tales and the three Monkey Island Tall Tales. Doing all of them takes a good chunk of time, and, honestly, they’re not even that fun. Okay, sure, the stories themselves are fine, even if they are a bit… [Continue Reading]

The Sea of Thieves 2024 Teaser Thingy

March 21, 2024March 22, 2024 Medic 0 Comments sea of thieves, season 12, season 13, teaser, upcoming updates

I don’t normally follow Sea of Thieves updates up close and personal, but I somehow managed to stumble across the Sea of Thieves 2024 Preview Event just before it started, and damn, I am glad I watched it. Sure, Season 11 has been pretty good, what with it giving people a reason to rank up with factions again, but what’s been teased for Seasons 12 to 14 are, well, pretty game-changing. The 2024 preview only goes over some of the major upcoming changes, but damn, everything they teased was great. If anything, the very last thing they teased, Owl pets,… [Continue Reading]

On Nundos

March 20, 2024March 13, 2024 Medic 0 Comments 0%, IVs, pokemon go

In Pokemon GO and Pokemon in general, most people want a Pokemon with perfect stats. A lot of people call these Pokemon ‘Hundos’, because they have 100% IVs, the maximum in every stat. Now, Hundos are technically pretty rare, and they’re mostly luck-based. While there are ways to increase your chances at getting a Hundo (via Research, doing lots of raids and getting Lucky Trades), there’s technically something a lot rarer than a Hundo: a Nundo. A Pokemon with 0% IVs. And I secretly love these guys. Checking my Pokemon GO storage, I have about 100 Pokemon with perfect IVs.… [Continue Reading]
