‘King of the Hill’ back in top form

Mike Judge and Greg Daniels’ “King of the Hill” returned for a 14th season on Aug. 4 on Hulu, and right from the title of episode one, you can tell without question that it is absolutely “The Return of the King.” It’s been a long time coming. Judge and Daniels have worked for ...

GPS drift glitch causing problems in Pokemon Go

In a private Discord server, a member of Pokemon Go’s development team said they’re aware of a glitch dubbed “micro GPS drift” and warned community ambassador leaders that players within their communities will be flagged by the game’s anti-cheat systems moving forward. Micro GPS ...

Trying to fix an ailing card game

I know I said in one of my previous columns this summer that I have been trying to get back into card collecting, especially Pokemon. That hasn’t exactly gone to plan; it’s still incredibly difficult to find places outside of game stores that carry products that you can purchase at a price that makes the trip worthwhile. So my desire to collect has been taking a back seat while some of my friends and I have been getting back into playing the Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card game again.

Bottlecaps in Pokemon Go needs limitation

As the sun rose over the Penn State Altoona campus June 28 and 29, several Pokemon Go trainers were out and about for global Go Fest, arguably the game’s best event of the year.

Pricey Pokemon Go event worthwhile

The global version of Pokemon Go Fest is finally here. But a new item released in the game this week could make this year’s grind more exciting than ever before. As the main reward for completing the Go Pass Deluxe: Ancients Recovered event pass that was released this week, trainers can redeem a gold bottle cap and trigger a hyper training mechanism to increase the individual values of any non-shadow Pokemon in their account. A free version of the pass was given to all players who logged into the game during the Ancients Recovered event, which began Monday. However, in order to earn ...

It's the 'worst time' to start collecting Pokemon cards again

When I was a kid growing up in the late ’90s, I was big into a hobby that was far from unpopular at the time — collecting cards from the Pokemon trading card game. I was never very into playing the actual card game, and while my little plastic box of rare cards that I had kept has long ...
