Boom Beach: Is the Subscription Builder Worth $2.99/month?
Supercell just released an optional update to Boom Beach where for $2.99/month (in the US) you can subscribe to gain a second Builder. I want to examine the idea behind this feature and talk about the controversy of this move in this blog post.

Boom Beach: Imitatation Game Pontifications and Progress Update
I’m going to split this blog into two posts; one will be my current experience and thoughts behind the latest Hammerman event called the Imitation Game and another on my progress on both my accounts for the game.

Boom Beach: More Progression
Today, was the highest level Operations my Task Force managed to complete. I had to solo two different high level ops using my two accounts. Fortunately, I managed to get both down just by the skin of my teeth. We failed the other day mostly due to how a former member did not take the…

Diablo 3: The Darkening of Tristram Event Review
Since the PTR is out, I decided to give it a go and check out specifically the Darkening of Tristram event. I had seen Kripparian’s video where he posted a fairly scathing review and decided to see if it was worth his ire.

Boom Beach: Should You Build A Weapons Lab Early On?

Boom Beach: Finally Defeated Hammerman 40 and Gearheart 45
It took me a while on my high level account to get to Hammerman 40 and Gearheart 45. Part of my procrastination was to get more of my troops and gunboat offenses up. Another aspect was to avoid getting the 5 VP and push myself too much. However, since this is an all troop at…

Boom Beach: The Brutality of Leveling Underleveled Landing Craft
Landing Craft are some of the most important and expensive support type of buildings to upgrade, especially once you hit the upper mid game (~HQ16+). Right now, I’m getting my last landing craft (of my seven) to 15. From here on out, it becomes a lengthy grind towards 19.

While the highly anticipated Diablo 4 or Diablo 3 expansion were not announced at Blizzcon 2016, the big news for Diablo 3 was a character pack for the Necromancer class. Earlier, it was “accidentally” unveiled of a poster showing a male and female Necromancer artwork on the Blizzard store, hinting at the possibility of an…
