You Know Nothing - Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare

Image result for cod infinite warfare logo

Kill Kotch before his speech ends - 30

Mission - Operation Black Flag: Trap is Sprung

Continue through the mission as normal, you will come to the point where you need to hack into a robot and attempt to kill Admiral Kotch. You will fail, but you will injure him, you can then run onto the Bridge and stab Admiral Kotch. You need to stab and kill him before he finishes his end speech. You don't have much timing on this, you need to be quick.

This is a reference to Jon Snow from Game of Thrones. The character Ygritte says multiple times, "You Know Nothing, Jon Snow". Admiral Kotch is played by Kit Harington, who also plays Jon Snow in the Game of Thrones Series. This has also become a meme in the community.

Rant about the Nintendo GameBoy's Battery Life

Image result for gameboy logo

This is a rant about the classic Nintendo GameBoy. Don't get me wrong, love the handheld console, but the main probably is that battery life light. There is a small red light which lights up when the handheld is in use, but apparently it glows less bright when the batteries are low - I never saw this happen.

So when you are happily defeat Pokemon Trainers left, right and centre and you get through 4 routes, then the game decides to die - rage is sure to occur. Got my team levelled up rather well, caught some Pokemon to help towards completing the Pokedex, but then dead. I was so mad, I can't even put it into words. Sure the battery life is longer than any other DS or 3DS but there is realistically no way of telling how much juice is left in the batteries. Just extremely annoying.

Rant over.

The Safari Zone - Pokemon Red and Blue

Image result for pokemon red and blue logo

In Fuchsia City, in the north of the city, there is the Safari Zone. The Safari Zone is nature reserve where you can catch rare Pokemon without using any of your Poke Balls which you have bought. Instead using Safari Balls, Bait and Rocks.

You cannot attack the Wild Pokemon, you can only attempt to catch it or run away.

The Safari Ball works the same as an Ultra Ball or Great Ball or any other Poke Ball. You throw it to attempt to catch the Pokemon.

The Bait makes it so that the Pokemon is less likely to run away but more likely to Pokemon with the Safari Ball and less likely to catch the Pokemon.

The Rock makes it so that the Pokemon is more likely to catch but is more likely to run away.

It's a bit of a gamble throwing the Bait and Rocks, in my opinion, you are better off just using the Safari Balls.

Pokemon you can catch in the areas in the Safari Zone are;
Nidoran (Male)
Nidoran (Female)
Nidorino
Nidorina
Exeggcute
Rhyhorn
Venonat
Venomoth
Doduo
Paras
Parasect
Scyther
Pinsir
Chansey
Kangaskhan
Tauros
Magikarp
Poliwag
Goldeen
Psyduck
Slowpoke
Krabby

Let It Go! - Minecraft - Update 44

Image result for Minecraft Xbox One Logo

Walk across the surface of a deep ocean by freezing the water with Frost Walker Boots - 20

This can be extremely annoying...

You need to get the Enchantment of Frost Walker on Boots, or get the Enchanted Book of Frost Walker which can be traded from villagers. But the Enchantment is extremely rare compared to an Enchantment like Smite or Sharpness or Feather Falling.

Once you have obtained the Frost Walking Boots you need to walk onto water from a block from the same level, walking on to a patch of deep water. Once you walk onto the water, there will be an area of ice which will spawn as you walk on the ice.

This is a reference to Disney's Frozen, with the name of the achievement being the name of the famous Frozen song, Let it go. Also referencing the scene when Elsa unleashes her Ice Powers, first stepping on the water of the harbour and running creating an area of water as she ran across.
