Party Play Is Pretty Good Now

With the end of the Season of Adventures Abound, we got an event revolving around Adventures Abound’s biggest feature, Party Play. Party Play allows you to team up with up to three other trainers, see each other on the overworld, do research tasks together and take on bosses more easily than ever. The event, Party Up!, celebrated the feature and also brought back the new generation 9 Pokemon and the new shinies from the season. When Party Play originally came out, it was a bit underwhelming. Not only did it come with a bug which could delete all your saved… [Continue Reading]

Getting Back Into Team Fortress 2, and the Power of Competent Team Mates

The other day, I found myself playing Team Fortress 2. We had planned to play Sea of Thieves, but we ran into a bunch of hackers, which spoiled our mood. So we played TF2 instead, because why not?

After the very first trade though, because it was our first interaction of the day, something special happened. Amazingly, after months and months, we became Lucky Friends! This meant we could do a trade and that trade would be guaranteed lucky. Because I had hatched two shiny Riolus, I decided to trade one to my brother. He traded me a shiny Mewtwo since he had a surplus of them. What happened next was… [Continue Reading]

When Friends Are An Inconvenience

I should be talking about the Pokemon Go anniversary event where you can get SHINY ALOLAN EXEGGCUTOR (one of my favourite Pokemon) but frankly, I’m kinda annoyed. Not just because there’s no shiny Exeggcute, but because of the friend system. The first task of the new ‘Catch Up’ special research is to make a new friend and all it does is bring up the flaws in the friendship system. The friend system in Pokemon Go makes no sense. The first issue is that you can never really interact with these people, outside of PvP battles, battling Pokemon in Gyms and… [Continue Reading]
