On Jumping Back Into Minecraft

It’s been a long time since I last played Minecraft. I had a dig around back when Mojang announced the massive new caverns and build heights, but I didn’t do much. I looked around in creative mode, thought it was neat, then moved on. After all, I’ve played a lot of Minecraft. However, several of my sister and my sister’s friends decided to make a Minecraft server, and, after a bit of sibling pressure, I decided to jump in. Now, the spawn in this world is a mooshroom biome. Mooshroom biomes are my favourite biome, but I can’t build in… [Continue Reading]

Why I’m Not Playing Skyrim Again

Skyrim is an odd game. It is both full of content but also eerily empty. While I have played a lot of Skyrim in the past (and even did a whole walk-through playing as the TF2 Medic), I’m wondering if it’s time to give Skyrim another try. But there’s a lot stopping me from doing so. I ought to move to Special Edition. Currently, I only have the Legendary Edition of Skyrim installed. This is the old, 32bit version of Skyrim. I’ve played a bit of Special Edition before and while being a tad more stable, is a little bit… [Continue Reading]

A New Sea of Thieves Adventure: A Dark Deception

I don’t normally get a chance to do adventures in the Sea of Thieves. Often, by the time I am available to play these adventures, everyone else has already done it, and I don’t want to drag people into doing things again for me. Sure, some can be done by playing solo, and A Dark Deception, the newest adventure as of writing, is easy enough. But was A Dark Deception any good? Adventures are a one-off event. A Dark Deception will available to play for the next two weeks, before it disappears forever. Really, they are pretty stupid with how… [Continue Reading]

Pokemon that I am sick and tired of seeing.

Normally, when you get a new season in Pokemon GO, there’s a shakeup when it comes to Pokemon spawns. You get different Pokemon spawning in the wild, both common and uncommon Pokemomn. However, between seasons 10 and 11, well, not much happened. Here are a bunch of Pokemon that I am sick and tired of seeing, despite being in different seasons. Sandshrew When season 10 ended, I was hoping we’d see less Sandshrew. Sandshrew has been dicking around since before December 2022, in both its forms. Both Kanto and Galar Sandshrew have been spawning constantly. Whenever I use my daily… [Continue Reading]

Five Pokemon You Should Consider To Have as a Buddy

In Pokemon GO, you rarely walk alone. There’s always a buddy Pokemon by your side as you walk around. But what is worth walking around? Here are some options. Magikarp You can never have too much Magikarp candy. Even if you’ve managed to complete the Evolve a Magikarp task in Mew’s special research, the fact that you need so much candy is always still there. After all, you need to power up your Gyarados as well. Gyarados isn’t the be-all and end-all of water types, but it is a very strong water type and it has a Mega Evolution, which… [Continue Reading]

There’s No Such Thing as a Short Sea of Thieves Session

In the Sea of Thieves, being patient is a big part of the game. Everything takes time, and sessions can easily get longer and longer as the night goes on. The last time I played Sea of Thieves, we were at it for hours, getting various commendations done while also sailing with emissary stuff. We did several Veil missions and got a lot of loot. This took us quite a long time, and there wasn’t really a chance to make it take less time. So where does this time actually go? Getting started and actually setting sail takes a long… [Continue Reading]

The Most Chaotic Hourglass Battle Ever

After a long day of doing Veil missions and working towards commendations, the members of the Barnacled Bastion realized that we had a lot of resources. Like, a lot a lot. We had so many resources that we had two storage crates pretty much filled with cannonballs, and we also had a huge amount of food and wood too. We had over a hundred mangoes and a good stack of pineapples, enough for us to all have something nice to eat. So, before ending our session, we decided to do one Hourglass battle, fighting as Guardians of Fortune. Now, I… [Continue Reading]

On The Jetpack Social Plugin

Jetpack is a plugin that has been tied to WordPress for a very long time. It’s got a bit of everything in it. I personally use Jetpack to see website stats, like how many people have viewed our website, and to see which articles are popular. However, the other big thing I use Jetpack for is Jetpack Social. Jetpack Social allows you to post to different platforms whenever you make a new post. This plugin would post to Facebook and Tumblr, and can also post to Linkedin as well. It used to post to Twitter as well, but that stopped… [Continue Reading]

What Should We Use Elite TMs on?

Elite TMs are rare and valuable. They give Pokemon access to special and unique moves when they’d otherwise be unavailable. While you can spend €15 once a month to get an Elite TM, most cases of obtaining Elite TMs are rare, or require a lot of patience. You can get a free Elite TM by playing in the GO Battle League, but you need to wait for a season to finish to get your hands on another. On the other hand, there are generally a LOT of Pokemon that need an Elite TM. For example, back in February, Groudon and… [Continue Reading]

5 More Great Weapons in Call of Cthulhu

Last year I covered five (really six) of my favorite weapons in the Call of Cthulhu RPG system. Since then, I’ve gotten to play more campaigns and more characters, and I’ve found some additional combat options that I think really hold their own. Whether raiding eldritch tombs or staking out satanic speakeasies, here are some effective personal defense options I think you should consider: 1. Sawed-off Shotgun The famous double-barrel boomstick is the archetypical survivalist’s weapon, and it should have made the first article for its laundry list of positive traits. It can fire twice a round and each shot… [Continue Reading]
