  • Baldur’s Gate 2: More Character Mod’ing with EE Keeper

    So once again, I decided to try some hacks with EE Keeper. Now, previously, I was able to change the NPCs into classes that were far more interesting than what they were provided. There wasn’t any technical penalties thus far in the game. The next question is whether I could try a few other combinations,…

  • Diablo 3: The Shadow Mantle Build

    Although Season 8’s Haedrig Gift for Demon Hunters will not be the Shadow Mantle set, I decided to goof around a little with this set and see what felt good in trying to come up with a reasonable build. This is by no means a meta build nor is it meant for ultra high Greater…

  • Boom Beach: The (Sluggish) Road to HQ 20

    This morning I finally managed to get to XP 47 and acquired enough resources to begin building a HQ 19. I still haven’t finished my goals while I was working towards HQ 19, which was to really push my landing craft. But the opportunity came up and I decided to go for it and use…

  • Game of Thrones: Deconstructing Potential Spoiler Rumors for Season 7

    Reddit’s Freefolk section had a bunch of unconfirmed rumors for the upcoming Season 7. Whether or not they’re true remains to be seen of course. However, I think it’s important to go through and determine which ones look feasible and the implications.

  • Diablo 3: Season 8 Class Sets and Starter Character

    Season 7 is ending soon and we won’t be seeing any new content for Season 8 beyond changing up the Haedrig’s Gift sets. The good news is that we can begin examining the choices for characters based partly on what the next group of Haedrig’s Gift sets has to offer. Although there hasn’t been any…

  • Boom Beach: The Painful Grind to HQ Level 19

    HQ Level 18 was something I looked forward to for a while mostly because I would get access to Scorchers. There’s a few other upgrades that would make this level one to strive for, including the next-to-the-last level Sculptor and some killer armory upgrades. However, between here and HQ level 19, it feels like taking…

  • Lifestyle: Dealing With An Itchy Couch

    I bought a couch in 2005 that has served me well. Usually though, around this time of the year as the seasons grow dryer and mold starts to set in, I’ve found that I get horrible rashes and itches. Part of the culprit appears to be my couch since it’s old and the material probably…

  • Why I’m Slowly Moving Away from Social Media

    When social media sites like Friendster, Myspace, Facebook, etc. came out, I was ecstatic. As a web developer, I was excited to see a new incarnation of technological possibilities that could help my career. Over time, these platforms devolved from technology solutions and communication platforms to ad-centric spam hosts and spyware for marketing people. Worse…

  • Why Instagram Might Be the Best Social Media Platform Around

    Social media is almost like a perverse version of The Force from Star Wars in that it, “It’s an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us; it binds the galaxy together.” Unfortunately, it’s so pervasive and intrusive that it’s become supremely annoying and an opportunity for marketers to continue…

  • Boom Beach: How to Avoid Being A Complete Noob

    I’m going to come out of the closet right now and say that I’m a Boom Beach addict. Yes, I killed one addiction (World of Warcraft) for another. Now that I’ve gotten that part out of the way, I wanted to share some strategies that I’ve been learning over the past year or so of…
