A Brief Look at Deep Rock Galactic

July 4, 2022June 26, 2022 Medic 2 Comments deep rock galactic, review, rock and stone, rock and stone forever

Deep Rock Galactic is a game that people have been telling me to buy for ages. I’d had a few friends play Deep Rock Galactic recently, and they all recommended the game to me. So when it last went on sale, I gave in and bought this dwarf mining sim. Turns out, it’s a pretty good game. A very good game perhaps. Missions are chaotic The main gameplay loop is kinda hard to describe, but it mostly involves mining, Dwarves and nasty bugs. You select a mission, jump into a giant drill that sends you to where the mission is,… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays A Real Pokemon Game for the First Time – Part 12

July 3, 2022July 19, 2022 Medic 0 Comments ice, Medic Plays A Real Pokemon Game for the First Time, pokemon, pokemon shield

So I’m off to the Ice Gym, where I hopefully will get my 6th badge. I’ve been leveling up my Pokemon, and now is the time to fight. I have a nice, round party of Pokemon who all have a super-effective move against Ice. Hopefully, I am ready to fight. However, before I attempt the gym, I want to mention Route 8, the route I took to get to Circhester. Whoever designed Route 8 is, in my humble opinion, an asshole. Seriously, how to people normally travel though this? Most of Route 8 is full of pits and holes, and… [Continue Reading]

I think my initial instincts are correct. This game is easy. Almost too easy. Then again, I’ve been doing it to myself. Leveling up my Pokemon seems like the best strategy to win fights. Who cares if Galarian Weezing uses Sludge Bomb against a Rillaboom? Not when the Rillaboom is ten levels higher. The Rillaboom in fact took out the Galarian Weezing and was then swapped out, thus not dying. My question is, is this the same with the rest of the game? I honestly don’t know, but I’m gonna try it anyway. I am going to keep on leveling… [Continue Reading]

Oh no. The Fairy gym. I’ve been dreading this one. Mostly because I really don’t like fairy types. Never had a good time fighting them, especially in Pokemon GO. In Pokemon Shield, I haven’t really fought many fairy types, but my current party hasn’t really prepared for a whole team of fairies. In my earlier gym matches, I’ve found myself running out of super-effective Pokemon moves, and I solved the problem in the Ghost gym by having three dark types and dark moves on my other Pokemon. I intended to do the exact same thing with poison and steel types.… [Continue Reading]

Sea of Thieves is a very pretty game

June 30, 2022June 25, 2022 Medic 0 Comments graphics, pretty, sea of thieves

Normally, when I play Sea of Thieves, it’s really late at night. The crew I play with are all terrifying pirates that strike fear into both Sea of Thieves players and Team Fortress 2 players at the same time. They are all also people who live far away from me, in Canada and the US. So time zones, as you can imagine, are awful. Still, it’s worth staying up to play with them. As the hours fly by, I get more and more tired, to the point that I can only just follow instructions. In order to try and stay… [Continue Reading]

Last time I was here, I was avoiding Hop before reaching the next gym. I went off to catch some more Pokemon. After a semi-useful catching spree, I decide to go back and fight Hop. And, just like last time, I beat him with ease. To his credit though, he made one of my Pokemon faint. This is also the first time I saw a new Pokemon that had an entire fucking Pikachu trapped in its mouth. Gross. Anyway, with Hop out of the way, I can properly visit the gym here. It’s a ghost type gym, which would normally… [Continue Reading]

I smell a plot. It’s about time, but I think there might actually be some plot heading my way. I’ve just appeared in Hammerlocke, after having run through the wild. Luckily, I got through, but my party were not at all in one piece. Half my team got wiped by a single Gyarados that I attempted to fight, and I had to kill a lot of mid-level Pokemon to get to the city. Once I was there though, I noted how cool the place looked. After all, it’s a giant dark castle, and the entrance was a dragon’s head. Apparently… [Continue Reading]

Today, I’m going to be getting the fire badge! And where is the fire gym located? Back in Motostoke! Can we just get a sky taxi to go back there? We can! But the game wants me to go through this mine. Mostly for plot reasons. The first thing I see in said mine is Bede, the trainer that was endorsed by Rose. And of course, he wants to fight. Luckily, I manage to nuke all his Pokemon. Including his Galarian ponyta. Out of instinct, I actually brought out a water type, thinking that this Ponyta was a fire type.… [Continue Reading]

The Nicest Community Day Ever

When it comes to Community Days, lately, most of them have been meh at best. However, in a bid to make lots of money and get people outside, June’s Community Day was Deino, the dark and dragon type Pokemon. A pseudo-legendary Pokemon with a lot of bite and a great special move. Turns out, if you have an interesting Pokemon for community day, then people turn up. Actually felt like a Community Day A good Pokemon and people out to catch it. Deino’s day ticked a lot of boxes. We got a cool, rare shiny on a cool, rare Pokemon,… [Continue Reading]

A Brief Interlude Where Medic Talks About Pokemon Shield So Far

I must admit, I’ve been getting carried away with all this Pokemon stuff. It’s all such a genuinely new experience for me. But today, I am taking a break from playing, so I can discuss my thoughts so far. Granted, I’ve only beaten a quarter of the gyms, and am still running around like an idiot, but I’ve been making process and slowly getting the hang of how Pokemon works. It’s alright. Funnily enough, turns out I don’t have much to say about the game. I like wandering around and catching Pokemon, and I like the Pokemon battles. The Pokemon… [Continue Reading]
