Little (huge) update: Since I ordered a 1080 GTX and everyone was telling me playing at 1900×1200 was poor people stuff, I also got a Dell UltraSharp U3415W. Now you might be thinking “Syn do you really need a resolution … Continue reading →

CR: Tourneys are awesome, if you can get in

Posted on July 27, 2016 by SynCaine

Tournaments in Clash Royale are easily my favorite way to play the game, assuming of course I can bother to actually get in a tournament (more on that later). But they also highlight a flaw in the core game, and … Continue reading →

Vaults vaults vaults

Posted on July 26, 2016 by SynCaine

I’ve been playing a surprising amount of Fallout Shelter on my PC. Playing a mobile game, especially one built around timers and playing in spurts on the PC is pretty interesting. On the one hand, there is still some waiting, … Continue reading →

I don’t even know what to call you anymore

Posted on July 18, 2016 by SynCaine

TimeWarp – Middle-Earth Shadow of Mordor

Posted on July 13, 2016 by SynCaine
