Review – Transformers: Earthspark Expedition

I have to say up front, I have never watched this show at all. I do have several of the toys from it, but I have no idea what the show is like or how these characters act here compared to the show. That said, IMDB tells me all of the voice cast is different anyway. Also, from what I have gathered, the show follows the human cast, and these sort of, young Transformers, this game features those other Transformers, but centers on Bumblebee, whom is the only playable character. That out of the way, the basic premise of Transformers…

Heartopia Casual Tips

I have made it pretty deep into this game now, though it has no real goal or end game, and I thought it might be worth sharing some random things I have picked up that were not necessarily obvious, or I missed because, like a lot of folks, I mostly skip tutorials. Basically, some.suggested things to do, ways to make money etc. This is not a "maximize" guide, its a "casuals want to survive" list of tips. Anyway, on with the list Daily Tasks Eventually, like level 5 or something, you unlock daily tasks for NPCs. These are all fairly…

I've picked up yet another "Cozy Game", because this is apparently my nee favorite game genre. Palia, Infinity Nikki, Animal Crossing Pocket, probably a few others I have forgotten. Funny enough, despite several attempts, I can't get into the big name game of this genre, Stardew Valley. I think I kind of just, dislike 2D cozy games. I want my relaxing experience to look pretty, not fake old school. I should add here, I had an issue at first where the game was unplayable because my character would absolutely NOT stop running forward. I looked into the issue, it seems…

Pokemon Go Max Battle Tips

I was a bit skeptical on Max Battles at first, but I find now, I really like them. They feel like raids with better mechanics, and they are just more interactive than just, throwing a ball. The design also feels right enough that the proper team make up can seriously make or break a victory or a loss, unlike Raids, where you are effectively just, competing against the clock. I have managed to do enough of these now I feel like it may be worth throwing out some general tips I have collected. Its not always guaranteed, but it helps.…

Tanking in Pokemon Go For Fun and Profit

So, I am.not a fan of PVP in Pokemon Go, better known as Battle League. Like, at all. However, there is a goofy Luchador Pikachu, locked behind Battle League, that I am a fan of. Apparently, the current season is some sort of special truncated season, which means that in order to get Luchador Pikachu, you only need to get to Rank 20, and not Rank 25. As far as I can tell, this means getting 107 Wins. Also, on top of that, it also means getting 3 wins out of 5 during one round, to unlock the Pikachu itself.…
