Kontroversial Keith: Saying It and Meaning It.

  • 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…

  • Diablo 4: Got Really Lucky Today

    Right now, I’m still on my Quill Volley Eagle Spiritborn build. I managed to finish up a bunch of content and unlocked Torment 4. I still need a few things for the finishing touches on my build as I realized that the Maxroll guide had changed recently. But that said, my current situation is a…

  • Diablo 4: Spiritborn Quill Volley Eagle Class/Build Review

    After becoming frustrated with the Dance of Knives Rogue build (which may have a bug as per an upcoming patch will fix), I decided to cave in and roll a Spiritborn class. In reading various write ups and watching a few streams, I came to the conclusion that the top build would be the Quill…

  • Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred Review

    Originally, my expectations for the expansion were quite low based on a few things that I had tried in the PTR as well as the supposedly lauded “raid” or “coop dungeon” (as Blizzard prefers to term it). The story itself wasn’t something I felt would be exciting and I had no idea what the Spiritborn…

  • Bard’s Tale 3: My Class Evaluation

    After this latest play through of Bard’s Tale 3, I figured it might be a good time to do a full class write up, going over strengths, weaknesses, some party ideas and my own experiences.

  • Bard’s Tale 3: Last Day

    I just realized that the Diablo 4 expansion starts tomorrow rather than on Tuesday (for NA/PST), which means my Bard’s Tale 3 play through is coming to an end. Truthfully, I was getting a little burnt out and while the thought experiment of having a three Geomancer party sounded novel, I figured it would just…

  • Bard’s Tale 3: Possible Change In Party Configuration

    Today, I managed to push my secondary party through to the end game of Malefia. Right now, I’m merely grinding out levels. While I’m not exactly struggling, I do find a few situations to cause my party a little grief, namely with regards to my Monk. Originally, I had wanted a Monk as part of…

  • The Shanghai Thirteen Movie Review

    Despite having numerous Shaw Brothers alumni and Chang Cheh as the director, The Shanghai Thirteen (1984) was not a Shaw Brothers production. Instead, it was produced by someone named Chan Hsi-Fan, whom I don’t recognize, and was written by Chang Cheh himself. I read elsewhere that around this period, Chang Cheh was 60 and nearing…

  • The Five Venoms Movie Review

    One of the most revered kung fu movies is the Shaw Brothers/Chang Cheh classic The Five Venoms. While there were previous movies involving various members of this particular cast, it was The Five Venoms that really skyrocketed the careers of five individuals that became Chang Cheh’s next round of superstars in his kung fu classics.
