Another Awesome Adventure on the Stormcloud

Sometimes, we don’t play as Reapers when we play Sea of Thieves. Sometimes, we want to do other stuff. For example, Bacxaber, Fox and I wanted to do Merchant Emissary missions in order to level up our ledger. The ledger can give out some pretty nice rewards, and these tend to rotate on the regular. To get all the rewards, you need a certain amount of emissary value, which can be obtained by raising an emissary flag and selling loot for whatever faction you decide to join. This time round, we were doing Merchants, specifically Lost Shipments. Most of this… [Continue Reading]

Sea of Thieves – Fight Back, Dammit!

The other day, Stormcloud made a massive amount of gold, as well as making progress on ledgers and things like that. Not only did we manage to make over 350k gold, we also sank a few ships and I got to level 79 on the season. But the sinking of ships was rather odd. We sunk three ships and, well, none of them fought back. Why? I have no idea! Seriously, one of them we managed to keg, with Fox taking an obvious rowboat all the way to the victim ship, and easily managed to detonate not one but TWO… [Continue Reading]

The 5 next best Team Rocket counters in Pokemon GO

But Machamp is simply too easy to get, power up and give a second move to. Sure, you can give Riolu… [Continue Reading]

Beating Team Rocket Leaders with Great League Pokemon

Whenever the Team Rocket Leaders get new Pokemon, you always get a cool little wave of excitement in nerdier places. The first little wave is discussing what Pokemon the Leaders now have, and whether they can be shiny. After that, discussion moves on to the Leaders’ teams and how to counter them. But once that dust settles, another question is asked. Can these teams be beaten with cheap alternatives and lower CP Pokemon? The answer is normally yes. And it’s doable even with mediocre Pokemon. Turns out, you don’t need much preparation at all. With the current iteration of bosses,… [Continue Reading]

1000 Team Rocket Fights Later…

In July of 2019, Team GO Rocket appeared in Pokemon Go, attacking Pokestops and stealing items. While Team GO Rocket hasn’t had much effect on daily gameplay, it’s always been a thing. There’s even a multitude of medals to get, all related to Team GO Rocket. The problem is that, because they’re basically a side task, you can safely ignore Team Go Rocket and their myriad of grunts. Me though? I wanted to get the gold medal for defeating grunts. On September 15th 2020, I finally got that gold medal. 1000 grunts defeated. Seems like a long time I mean,… [Continue Reading]
