Cracks in the Wall

Staring at cracks and crevices in the wall,
Waiting for something, not sure what for,
Shuffling my feet past familiar faces,
Shifting eyes, unsure of what to expect.

Living in the mistakes of my past,
Reluctant to step into the future,
Uneasiness eclipsing my present,
A dark shadow over the gift of today.

A racing heartbeat, a familiar ache in my chest,
Longing for something, or someone, near yet distant,
Hoping to find it, or even know what it is,
The fear of perhaps losing it forever,
Though I could never even have it.

Expecting others to understand,
My pain, that I don't myself;
Wishing that the future I dreaded
Would find what I was looking for,
So I could finally stop staring at cracks and crevices in the wall.

The 100th Post!

This is about the 5th time I'm rewriting this post. I'm just not sure what to say. Whatever I type in first, seems pretty stupid later on.
Interesting... Very interesting...

I'm also not sure what to make this post about. I've been striving to cover variety of topics since the inception of this blog, ranging from tech to gaming, so, coming up with a specific topic to cover on my 100th post is kinda hard.

"Did you know that... "

Nah, can't go like that.

So how about a post that describes my journey? Well, that's what most people would do, but I'm not most people, am I? How do I go about this?

This blog was originally a platform to showcase my poems (I don't know how many of you know that.) since I like to think of myself as a poet and a philosopher. It was also a place to just rant once in a while.

Then how dis this turn out so random? Well, while I still wanted to rant, I realized that this blog could also be my method of communication. Helping others out by telling them what I already know seemed like a good idea.

Heck, why not help them out in serious life decisions? 

Why not help them decide which phone to buy?
(Seems pretty serious to me.)

Why not put up deep thoughts that come to my mind once in a while that might make more sense to others than to me?

If  I could elate someone's soul by a few words on a screen, why not?

Why not tell people which games they should be playing, and 
while I;m at it, why not tell them how to play it as well? (Gaming is a very important factor of a stress free life.

The above why-nots have covered my "Random Thoughts", "Tech Reviews", "Game Reviews" and "Game Tutorials" posts, and even with all these categories, I'm still trying to expand this into a maze of randomness.

The only encouragement I get for this is you guys, people who read my blog, comment on it, and share it. It shows me that I really am making a difference in the lives of real, living people.

So that's what this post ends up like, a "Thank-you readers" Post.

Interesting... Very interesting...

Top 5 Attack Strategies For Looting Dark Elixir In Clash Of Clans

There is no argument to the fact that Dark Elixir is one of the most important resources in the Clash World, what with random barbarians consuming them to become Barbarian Kings and Witches never getting enough of it...

So, to make it easier for all you DE-thirsty Clashers out there to loot Dark Elixir, I consulted all my clan-mates and many people on global and compiled this guide on all the attack strategies you can use to make sure your DE storage is always full for the next big upgrade.

5. WiGON

An interesting and not-very-popular strategy that can be used to two star up-to max TH9s. This is very helpful, because most people with lots of Dark Elixir put their Dark Elixir Storage right in the middle of their base, surrounded by defenses. 
Another plus point of this strategy is the minimal amount of Dark Elixir consumption, ranging anywhere between 200 - 300 DE which can also be covered in the loot bonus.
If you're looking for new strategies to try out and don't want to lose too many resources, you have to try this one out.

4.  GiBarch

I'm sure we've all heard of the GiBarch attack tactic, everyone uses it once in a while. The reason the GiBarch strategy works so well is beacuse it uses the common idealogy of putting a tank and a long range unit side by side to maximize damage to the base and minimize damage to your troops. There isn;t much to say about this strategy, and if you're looking for some passive raiding and looting, GiBarch is where you end up.

3. BAM

One of THE most popular attack strategies that has ever existed in the farming community, equal to, if not better than, Barch itself. 

What I personally love about this strategy is its ridiculously meagre cooking time, about 10 minutes, and if you've boosted your barracks, 2 and a half minutes, which means, you can finish up with one raid and be ready for the next immediately. Back to back raiding, true hardcore clashing.

This strategy uses a small amount of Dark Elixir to exponentially increase your raiding strength so you can always get to that Dark Elixir Storage, even when it's defended by the strongest boys in town. Beware splash damage though.

2. GiWiPe

The best [possible substitute for GoWiPe that has been discovered so far, to minimize Dark Elixir Consumption when farming for it, common sense.

GiWiPe is an incredibly powerful strategy, with the capability of destroying maxed TH9s with TH8 troops and even maxed TH10s with TH9 troops. Widely used, and for good reason. This strategy is probably only second to the HoWiz attack tactic in terms of raw power, though some may argue that they are equal. It does require a certain level of expertise to use though, unlike the HoWiz attack strategy, and a small mistake is all that's needed for huge consequences. 

This attack strategy also happens to be the most read attack strategy on my blog.

1. HoWiz

What do you get when you put a fireball throwing pyromaniac (with a freakin' epic hairdo) and a war obsessed pig rider together? 

HoWiz a very popular yet scarcely used strategy that works best if you're trophy pushing and farming for resources at the same time, and in my opinion, seriously underrated. You can two star upto max TH10s with this strategy and is very useful for hardcore raiding especially since the cooking time for Wizards and Hogs has gone down.

If you have plenty of time to spend on Clash and want lots of resources without dropping trophies, this is your way to go.

Also, this strategy is number one on my list as I use it all the time and it works best for me, even in Crystal 1. HOG RIDAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
