Masters of Orion 2 on the Mac
After playing the Diablo 4 Season 7 PTR for a few days, I already got bored and watched the new Path of Exile 2 launch. While I am intrigued in terms of being a casual viewer, I don’t feel that game is for me. So as I loaded up Gog.com on my Mac side of…

Masters of Orion II: A Personal Strategy Guide
It’s been a while since I’ve played this game. Out of sheer boredom recently, I decided to pick this game up again from Gog. Masters of Orion II is one of those games that can last a solid day or two depending on your settings. In my case, I restarted the game a few times…

Diablo 4: Season 7 PTR Patch Notes are out!
I’ve been reading the patch notes posted to determine what I want to play for next season. I have a few ideas based on skill modifications, nerfs, buffs, new items and aspects. Also, I’ve seen the new season theme and wanted to post my thoughts on that as well.

Diablo 4: Think I’m Done For This Season
Today, the Diablo 4 developers held another campfire to talk about some mid season updates. Truth be told, there was very little compelling content outside of “we’ll buff underperforming classes/abilities.” I was really hoping that this mid season update would add old content or provide some novel reason to continue playing the season but nothing…

Diablo 4: Started Leveling A Sorcerer
As a way to get my mind away from certain depressing issues, I decided to level up a Sorcerer. There’s a few builds on my list that I’d like to try out one being a Chain Lightning build. Obviously, after playing the super awesome Lightning Spear/Frozen Orb build from last season, I’m going to be…

Diablo 4: Gave Spirit Wave Necromancer Build A Try
Deciding that I should give the Spirit Wave Necromancer a try, I went from my Druid to Necromancer and reconfigured her from Minions to Spirit Wave with some gear after doing a couple of Helltide runs to get workable pieces. The main piece I had waiting around was a Blood Artisan’s Cuirass which has the…

Diablo 4: Boulder Druid Is A Blast
One of the things I wanted to try this season was a Boulder Druid build. In previous seasons, the Boulder skill was bugged and caused the build to be broken in a bad manner. Finally, it seems that they fixed that bug (where I read it was occurring when the Boulder hit a wall or…

Diablo 4: Small Changes to Barbarian and Started A Minion Necromancer
Figuring why not, I decided to go with a Minion Necromancer today. Although my enthusiasm isn’t really high on playing yet another Minion Necromancer, I decided that I could level easily and swap builds later on. Before that though, I altered my Barbarian from Hammer of the Ancients to Whirlwind / Dust Devil / Earthquake…

Diablo 4: Break or Necromancer?
I found out an easy way to level an alt by using a higher difficulty’s Tree of Whisper’s Cache. Not only do you gain XP but gear at a higher level. For an alt, this is just another way to help gear up quickly. For instance, I managed to receive a few Ancestral items to…

Diablo 4: Finishing Up Spiritborn and onto Mighty Throw Barbarian Project
Whelp, it finally dropped: a solid Tyrael’s Might. I believe the GA was on the damage reduction and I ended up critically hitting the damage reduction bonus twice and max to all resistance once. So my damage reduction on the Tyrael’s Might was around 50% while the all resistance hit close to 85%. With the…
