What I'm Playing... Castle Clash

Hey there.  I just haven't had the time recently to get my gaming on.  There are so many great games out there and I just haven't had the time to play them yet.  It's one of the main reasons why I find myself playing more and more mobile games.  I finally realized that playing on your smartphone is a quick fix to get a bit of gaming on.  At this moment, I'm playing Castle Clash.  It has everything that I look for in terms of quick fix gaming.  It has leveling up.  It has power ups.  It has heroes.  It has battles.  It has dungeons.  It has a timer.  The timer is the thing that makes this game work for me.  Unless you want to shell out money to get things done quickly, the timer forces you to put the game down and come back later once your troops or your buildings are done.  You see, every upgrade and troops are allotted a time.  That's how long it will take for it to ready.  A simple troop soldier may take only 20 seconds to be created while a level 9 gold vault could take up to a day.  Having only 2 builders makes your choices all the more critical.  In essence, it's one great time waster.  lol

Mpow Streambot Oval FM Transmitter Review

Hey there.  How many of you listen to music while driving your car?  I know I do.  So when I'm driving through an area where there is no radio signal, it irks me.  I don't like listening to static on the radio.  It reminds of Silent Hill and freaks me out. lol  You see, I drive through a mountain range when I travel to work and I don't get a radio signal.  What I used to do what have my phone on speaker and have music play from my phone.  The problem that I had with that was that I couldn't really hear since my phone's speaker does not compare to my car's speaker system.  If only there was was a way to connect my phone to the car's speakers.  Wait... there is!!!  The Mpow Streambot Oval FM Transmitter does just that!  Our good friends at Mpow provided me this FM transmitter to try out and review and it is simply one of the best FM transmitters that I have tried.  Before I get into my experience, let's talk specs.

The ShaveMOB Stocking Stuffer

Hey there.  You know, my wife always said that when I shave, I look a lot younger.  She's even said that I carry myself a little better.  That exude confidence.  It's exactly what I need at work.  It's important for me to be and look my best at the work place.  While the scruffy look works great in certain industries, I've come to learn that it simply does not in the finance world.  I've used many razors, trying to the find the one that works best for me.  And it seems like the universe is telling me that shaving needs to be a more integral part of my life.  How?  Well, my brother is pushing me to join a shaving club, my wife suggests I join a shaving club, TV is telling me that shaving clubs are awesome.  Hmmm...  sure does seem like I need to join a shaving club.  And just when I was about to start and check them out, the blogging gods intervened.  The good guys at ShaveMOB reached out to me and asked if I would like to check out their Mens Stocking Stuffer.  I jumped at the opportunity.  So before I get into my experience, here are the contents of the Mens Stocking Stuffer:

Arnorld Schwarzenegger Pumping Iron
Hey there.  How many of you are familiar with Arnold Schwarzenegger?  Of you course you are!  He's the freakin' Terminator, the Last Action Hero, and the guy that just had to have Turbo Man for his son!  Arnold has starred in many films and he has one of the most recognizable faces on the planet.  But did you know that he started off as a body builder?  That he came to America to make a name for himself knowing little to no English?  And that he made many smart investments early in his career that made him the millionaire that he is today?  Pumping Iron is the classic documentary that follows amateur and professional body builders (including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Serge Nubret, and Lou Ferrigno) as they prepare for the Mr. Olympia and Mr. Universe contests of 1975.  It's an intriguing look at the preparations and training that these athletes go through to get ready for a competition and one that I recommend you check out if you haven't already.  And just in case you haven't... no worries!  For the first time ever, it is now available for digital download and HD!  And guess what...

Cleaning Up Someone Else’s Act: Crime Scene Cleanup
