On Sugar-Free Monster Energy Drinks

Medic 0 Comments ,

Being diabetic, I generally don’t get much in the way of drinks. If I go to a restaurant, normally my drink choices consist of water or sugar-free pepsi. There’s very, very rarely a second option that is sugar-free. However, outside of restaurants, my options do expand quite a lot. Not only can I get diet pepsi, I can get diet lemonade too. But even then, there aren’t that many options, there’s often no sugar-free fanta or anything like that. So, if I can, I tend to turn towards sugar-free energy drinks. And not one brand has as many options as… [Continue Reading]

Summer 2023 – A TF2 Update

Medic 0 Comments , ,

So that Team Fortress 2 update is finally here. It’s nothing super special, but it’s here. They didn’t even really give the update a proper name. It’s just Summer 2023. First off, we got a lot of maps. We actually got 14 new maps, which is the most maps from any update so far. I can see why they added so many though, because, well, they are easy to add. Sure, a lot of work and time goes into creating these maps, but for Valve, they are super easy to implement and add to the game. I’d actually guess that… [Continue Reading]

Warframe Cosmetics You Can Get For Free

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

The end game of Warframe is generally considered to be FashionFrame, the dressing up and customizing of your Warframe. Considering how varied cosmetics are, you’d think that FashionFrame is actually very expensive. While, yes, some cosmetics do cost a small fortune, you can however manage to dress yourself up for free, spending time and effort rather than just buying things. Here’s a list of free cosmetics you can get, where you don’t need to pay a real-life penny at all. Colour palettes Throughout the year, there are actually multiple free colour palettes you can obtain. For St. Patrick’s Day, Easter,… [Continue Reading]

Why I Am Curious About Tennocon 2023

Medic 0 Comments ,

Tennocon is Warframe’s biggest event. It’s a real-life get-together, where players and developers get to meet up. There’s panels, art shows, cosplay and merchandise to be bought. Tennocon also hosts TennoLive, a massive devstream revealing all the cool stuff we have to look forward to. It’s the showstopper. TennoLive is where Fortuna was announced, where we first discovered liches and Raoljack, where the Sacrifice was teased and how we got the Duviri Paradox. It’s massive. But this year, I am more curious than ever. This year, I feel Tennocon is going to be different. And I’m not just thinking that… [Continue Reading]

On Powering Up Shadow Pokemon

Medic 0 Comments , ,

I think we’ve all heard it, how Shadow Pokemon are stronger than normal Pokemon. We had an event over Shadow Mewtwo, one that was so highly rated that my entire Pokemon GO group decided to meet up and play. In fact, Shadow Mewtwo is probably the most powerful Pokemon in Pokemon GO, not including things like Mega Pokemon and Primal Reversion. If you’re a hardcore player, then you’ve probably got a maxed out team of Shadow Mewtwos, all pimped out with Psystrike, all ready to go. But is that even really feasible? Is that going too far? Probably. The question… [Continue Reading]

I Forgot How Fun MvM Was

Medic 0 Comments ,

It’s been ages since I last played Team Fortress 2. But after a shorter-than-normal Sea of Thieves session, my great friend Bacxaber suggested that we play a round of Mann VS Machine, because why not? So I loaded up Team Fortress 2, reset all my key binds because they had all reverted to default settings, then joined Bacxaber and Metz. Together, we played a game of Mann VS Machine, on the Manhattan map. We were only playing on intermediate in boot camp, no Mann Up or anything, but damn, from the moment we started, it was all so much fun.… [Continue Reading]

The Dark Flames Event Sucked

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

At the end of June, there was a small event called the Dark Flames event. It featured Pokemon that were fire type or dark type (or both) and introduced a new Pokemon, Turtonator. But this event also had a timed research task, and it was genuinely pretty crappy. But why was this event so bad? Let’s start with the spawns. Of course, we had dark types and fire types. But not that many. Houndour, Vulpix and Poochyena were among the most common, and we also saw Numel and Stunky. Stunky had been around in the previous Team Rocket takeover event,… [Continue Reading]

Squirtle Classic Community Day

Medic 0 Comments , ,

Classic Community Days are always fun. They bring back a popular Pokemon that has a special move and then pretend it’s a normal community day. But often, the popular Pokemon has been missing for a long time (or at least, its special move has been missing), so it’s a great opportunity to go out and catch some Pokemon. Squirtle Classic Community Day was basically one of those, with a tiny twist. So the catching of these Squirtles was pretty normal. None of them had party hats on, that had been disabled prior to the event. There were enough spawns and… [Continue Reading]

How I’d Fix Defense Missions in Warframe

Medic 0 Comments ,

Defense missions are the worst. Well, OK, they’re not the worst, that reward goes to the likes of Defection missions. But Defense missions are all-round not particularly enjoyable. They’re also way more common than missions like Defection and Infested Salvage. Defense is so bad that people will intentionally leave Circuit missions to avoid doing them, especially on the Steel Path. These missions are terrible, so how do we fix them? Well, I’ve got some ideas. No more operatives The first and most basic idea is to not have an operative as a defense target. Their AI is absolutely stupid and… [Continue Reading]

Dragonball Z Abridged

Medic 0 Comments ,

When I was young, I somehow seemed to watch quite a lot of Dragonball Z. This was back when I lived in the UK and we had things like Sky and Cartoon Network. The show 0n Cartoon Network was dubbed into English, and I recall it never ever seeming to end. There were endless power-ups and new forms to take and things like that. Back then, being a 10-year-old girl, I preferred things like Dexter’s Lab and the Power Puff Girls, but after those, we’d watch a bit of Dragonball Z. We probably watched bits from other series of Dragonball,… [Continue Reading]
