  • Diablo 4: Patch 2.0 PTR Experience So Far

    Finally, I managed to spend sometime leveling a new druid (because I couldn’t load my existing Eternal Realm characters earlier) on the PTR. I went with a Companion style Druid because it felt pretty strong and there were a few adjustments I wanted to make especially in anticipation of the real patch (i.e. Runewords) that…

  • Diablo 4: Tempering, Masterworking and Enchanting MUST Go (Rant)

    If there’s one thing I can’t stand in a game, it’s wasting my time by being forced onto a hamster wheel and going nowhere. For all the number of people that supposedly works on Diablo 4, it honestly feels like one of the laziest contemporary games around. Outside of bugs, poor performance and other issues,…

  • Diablo 4: Runewords Being Added into Vessel of Hatred

    The news has come out during the campfire chat yesterday about the new patch with the announcement of one of the most anticipated features that had been in demand for a while: Runewords. Runewords were introduced in Diablo 2 and were a favorite of hardcore fans due to being able to create special items using…

  • Diablo 4: Season 5 Sorcerer Fireball Build

    While my Companion Druid was reasonably fun to play, the build I’ve been eyeing heavily has been the Fireball build. I’ve tried hybrid Fireball builds in the past where I’d mix Fireball with Meteor, using the Starfall Coronet and Gloves of the Illuminator. I started off with Chain Lightning but felt that it was simply…

  • Diablo 4: Season 5 Druid Companion Build Review

    I’ve tried a few variants of the Druid Companion build in the past but obviously Season 5 has one of the strongest versions yet. While the AoE is quite weak, the single target and general tankiness is quite good. I wanted to talk a bit about my experience as I’m getting close to hitting level…

  • Twitch: A Money Loser for Amazon

    When Twitch got bought out by Amazon a while back, people were holding their breath for how the deal would work out. Around the same time, Google supposedly was interested in picking them up but streamers on Twitch feared that Twitch would eventually dissolve like other Google acquisitions and eventually everyone would be forced to…

  • Shaw Brothers Five Elements Ninjas Review

    This is a cult classic in the Shaw Brother library. It’s got elements (pun intended) of weapons, ninjas, crazy effects, gore and some extreme violence as well as Chang Cheh directing it. In a way, it’s near the tail end of the Venom mob era with only Lo Meng remaining (unless you count the 7th…

  • Shaw Brothers The Chinatown Kid Review

    I haven’t done a movie review in a while especially my inconsistent but ongoing Shaw Brothers reviews, but I did get a chance to watch the English edition of The Chinatown Kid starring Fu Sheng. At first, I started watching the Chinese edition but ended up just swapping since it requires more concentration in reading…

  • More Home Upgrades Coming

    I decided to buy a nightstand from Amazon that has LED lighting, some drawers and most importantly, USB/electric port hook ups. The idea of this upgrade is that I’ve been using a flimsy folding table for too long. While the table still works, I’ll probably place it on the other side of the bed or…

  • Diablo 4: Season 5 PTR Thoughts

    I was enthusiastic to give the new Season 5 PTR a try. I thought the season 4 PTR was excellent and gave me a nice preview of the upcoming features and season. But the Season 5 PTR was pretty meh. The only thing I really wanted to try was a Companion Druid build with the…
