Kontroversial Keith: Saying It and Meaning It.

  • Boom Beach: Are Ice Statues Useful?

    I find it oddly common where many bases contain Ice Statues. The most popular proposed play strategy in Boom Beach is to go purely offensive and worry about defense only once you’ve finished hitting HQ 22. If that’s the case, why are there so many Ice Statues, especially MP defense ones? Are they really that…

  • Boom Beach: Why Keeping Your Armory Upgraded Is Critical

    Your Armory is one of your most important buildings to maintain as you gain levels. Around the midgame maintaining your Armory starts to take its toll in competing for valuable resources with your base, Gunboat, Statue, Vault, Radar and other critical defenses like Rocket Launchers and Boom Cannons. Because of the high cost in resources…

  • Boom Beach: The Advantages/Disadvantages of Tanks-Grenadiers-Medics Combination

    I have two accounts where I’m using the Tanks-Grenadiers-Medics combination. My second account originally was intended to switch towards a Warriors type but I’ve had little to no success with Warriors whereas my Granks/Medics have been my favorite staple so far. What makes this troop combination so good and where are the issues?

  • Boom Beach: How Well I Did During the October Event

    This is my third time doing event I believe. The first few times, I really had zero clue about how it worked and just viewed it as a special loot pinata. This time around I’ve been following a few streamers and getting a better idea of how to approach the event. That said, I still…

  • Boom Beach: PSC Statue or Not?

    PSC (Power Stone Chance) statues are an interesting type that I’ve read as being labeled for “advanced strategies.” Are they worth employing in your grouping? Or should you just try them whenever you receive one? Also, when should you boost them? I’ll attempt to answer these questions from my own experience.

  • Game of Thrones: The Jon Snow – Cersei Lannister Alliance That Probably Won’t Happen in Season 7

    Since Season 7 is being filmed, there’s been various speculations/rumors that have popped up along with actual photos and short clips of people capturing a few key scenes. Over on Reddit, there is someone who claims to have dropped the major plot points (which I deconstructed earlier). A few other sites have picked up on…

  • Diablo 3: Tips for Leveling in Season 8 for the Solo Player

    Starting from scratch can either be a pain or a lot of fun depending on what your goal is during a new season. I like the idea of a fresh start because you get to try a few new things here and there as well as see the progress of a character with little to…

  • Diablo 3: Demon Hunter Marauder Endless Walk Build for Patch 2.4.2

    Typically, for Marauders builds these days, you’ll see the M6 pairing with Focus/Restraint (Bastion of Will), Manticore, Wraps of Clarity and a few other key items. While this build is high in damage, it has a few issues in vulnerability when sentries are not up, is resource intensive and slow. So I want to present…

  • Boom Beach: The Understated Importance of An Upgraded Vault

    It shocks me whenever I see a base with a low level Vault, especially around my HQ level. One of the top priorities whenever you level is to maximize your Vault immediately. Why? Because it’ll minimize how much an opponent can damage you.

  • Boom Beach: Low Level Prototype Defense of Choice

    Today, I had a very interesting experience where another player attacked me roughly 3 times with troops and maybe a dozen times total (not sure if he was cheating and/or scouting me out). At any rate, his actual attacks failed every single time. Though lower level than me, I could tell that even if he…
