  • Boom Beach: HQ23 on Secondary Account

    Made great progress on my secondary account where I thrummed up enough resources (with the help of some accumulated Diamonds) in pushing my HQ to 23 on my secondary account. In addition, I made use of the Instant Build classified item to get the HQ23 all ready for the weekend.

  • Boom Beach: Warrior Attacks

    My main base got attacked twice within a 24 period by Warriors. I figure at my current defense, most other attacks might prove futile. But it is interesting to see them come about since up until now, I’ve been infrequently assaulted.

  • Boom Beach: HQ25?

    I’ve been reading the reddit forums as well as perusing various YouTube comments and it seems that HQ25will be a thing. I saw a video which implied HQ25 where one of the upgrades mentioned requiring HQ25. The questions are when will it drop and what will drop with it?

  • Boom Beach: Re-Installed on My Phone and Getting HQ24

    So I decided to say fuck it with the HQ24 on my main account and bought enough resources to get me close to the HQ24 upgrade then applied the free instant building completion to finish it off. Felt it was a good move to position me for the next two weeks.

  • Boom Beach: New Update Dropped with HQ24!

    This morning, a new Boom Beach update dropped with HQ 24. I had been playing pretty regularly since the HQ 23 update but didn’t bother writing about it as I found that last update to be not too exciting. However, I think it was time for a blog that combines the HQ 23 update experience…

  • Path of Exile: Will I Make A Comeback in Harvest?

    I’ve taken some time off from Path of Exile as a game to spend time on other games. Part of that decision was simply that I wanted to play the new Diablo 3 season as well as get back into other games that I had been itching to play. Part of the decision was that…

  • World of Warcraft: Mike Morhaime’s Perceived Reasoning For WoW’s Continual Decline

    Found an interesting article recently where Mike Morhaime explains the continual decline of popularity in World of Warcraft (i.e. subscriber drop): increased accessibility at the cost of decreased social features. I will go on to explain his side while offering why I believe this is an over-simplification of the trend in decreasing popularity of the…

  • Using My Time Productively (And Getting Smarter)

    Been watching lots of YouTube educational videos on chemistry, organic chemistry, physics and electronics lately in addition to getting back into reading fiction consistently. Effectively, I’m auditing an old physics class from UCI, which makes me feel like I’m back in class again (hence, justifying my position that I’ve returned to school). And it’s been…

  • Diablo 3: Next Season Buff/Ideas

    I mentioned this idea in the past but think it’s an interesting one considering that we now have seasonal buffs in Diablo 3. But I feel that for the next season there should be a buff that allows us to hire all three followers. Make the theme the season of followers.
