A new tablet has showed up on the GeekBench databases, sporting an incredible 4GB of RAM!!!

According to various sources such as The Times of India, Android Community and obviously, GeekBench, the tablet also features (very much surprisingly) an Intel Atom x5 Prcessor, confusing many as Samsung was doing well with the Exonys on its S6 (see posts). The Intel processor is clocked @ 2.24 GHz with 4 cores making it fast and the 4 GB RAM making it very efficient, ALSO suggesting that it will be able to operate the 64-bit applications that will begin to roll out next year.
It runs on Android 5.1 (Lollipop) and this is all the info available for now.
The name CHOPIN - LTE is obviously a code name and some believe it might be just another one of Samsung's prototypes which we may never see.

But it certainly would be VERY exciting to meet an awesome device like this out in the market and once it is out there, I will do an in-depth review on its specs, and a hands on review (if I can get my "hands on" one!)

Thanks for reading and stay tuned for future updates by liking, sharing and following!

Hey guyz, this is something I should have posted about yesterday, but yeah, The FLIPKART MEGA ELECTRONICS SALE IS HERE!!!

However, the sale ends today (26th May, 2015), so if you are lucky enough to see this post today, and you've always wanted that Samsung Flagship phone at an unthinkably low price, the head over to Flipkart NOW!!!

What is this about then? Well, the three online supercompanies: Amazon, Snapdeal and Flipkart have decided to go head to head with each other and start up electronic sales. I've heard that while the Snapdeal and Amazon sales finished yesterday with Amazon offering 50% off on most devices and Snapdeal doing their usual awesome prices, the Flipkart sale is still on!

Ranging Xiaomi Mi-pads and Mi 4i's to Moto gen2 phones and whatnot under the price of 13,000 INR (roughly 200 USD), the sales are going to the roof and are calculated to boost Flipkart sales and revenue by 200-300%!

They are offering 10000 INR off on Moto exchange deals, 9000 INR off on Mi exchange deals, unbelievable prices on Samsung Flagship Smartphones, 30% off on A/Cs and Microwaves, a whooping 47% OFF ON TELEVISIONS, AND... (wait for it)... OPEN SALE OF THE Mi 4i (NO REGISTRATION!!!) which is very much similar to the OnePlus One no invite sale! (See posts) [There is also an additional 10% off Axis Bank Cards!)

Even after all this, THERE'S MORE and I can't possibly list all of it here, so go on and check it out and I hope you are not unfortunate enough to miss it as there are only a few hours left!!! 

Thanks for reading. Comment, like and definitely follow so you never miss out on updates like these again!

<<<Since the recent TH11 update, we all know farming is now invalid, thanks for reading though!>>>

Hey guyz, what is up, today I'm bringing another Clash of Clans post for all my loot thirsty co-farmers out there! Let's not waste any keystrokes and get started with the real post.

The Best Place to Farm Right Now!!!

I bet most Clashers know what the update did to the game besides the Easter Eggs in the Single Player maps (see on YouTube) because, well, it's on the freaking news tab! But what about the stuff you DON'T know coz' they didn't tell you???

What am I talking about? A fix in the match-making system while looking for multiplayer battles of course!
So what did they do? They changed the matchmaking system so that you only encounter Town Hall levels around your own. This means : If you are TH8, your opponents will most likely be TH7-TH9 no matter what your trophy level!

 So if you're a hardcore farmer down in the no league levels, you are gonna find a hell lot of th10s down there as competition. This does NOT mean you will never get TH5 or TH10 bases again, they will show up obviously, but much less often.

How Does This Help Farmers???

Being a farmer is all about the loot, but I'm not a farmer who lives off his mines and collectors and drills. I'm a farmer in the sense that I only attack for loot and not trophies. If you're like me, this will help. 

Because you will always encounter bases around your Town Hall level, the loot from each of the bases will be almost equal to all the loot available. That being said, we will most certainly look for dead bases with maximum loot. Where to find these bases? You want a dead base with a TH level above your own. I'm TH8, thus I want a dead TH9 OR TH8 base.

Many people reasoned that these bases will be found at Silver Two and dropped down there to farm, but the element missing in the calculation is: The collectors have to be outside.

Now in what kind of base are you most like to find the collectors outside the walls for you to crush? A trophy pushing or troll base of course! And where would you find a trophy pushing TH9 OR 8 base? 
GOLD TWO, not Silver Two. Experience speaks here, I dropped from Trophy Pushing to Crystal all the way to Gold Two (not a very long drop actually) when I realized this and it's working!!! The bases I get are full of loot! --- Two 500k of each bases with all loot in collectors in one hour, oh it was awesome! Wait, "was"? Yep, after that, I listened to advice from YouTube clashers and dropped to Silver Two to test it out, and well, it wasn't THAT awesome. There's just an occasional juicy base and that's it. So, I guess what I'm trying to say is get to Gold Two and stay there if you are looking for loot as a TH8 or TH7, or maybe even a TH9. That's all for now. Oh, and I'm finally getting Golems in 7 Days!!!

Hey guyz, what's up,
Today's post will show you guyz how to GiWiPe which, as most of you know, is short for "Giants Wizards Pekkas".

This is a much cheaper and, in many cases, more desirable version of GoWiPe at TH8 (Golems Wizards Pekkas).

1 point to take note of in the beginning itself is that, even though GiWiPe is capable of 3 starring Town Hall 8s, that's not necessarily what it is used for.

 Instead it is only for getting into the core of the base to take out the Town Hall, and in many cases, the Dark Elixir Storage which will be beside it.

The main idea is to clear a path for the Pekkas to the core, which you can do with many troops, but is done with wizards and giants as they can stay alive to take out other stuff as well.

Stuff you'll need:

12 lvl 4+ Giants

11 lvl 4+ Wizards

5 lvl 4+ Wall-breakers

3 lvl 1+ Pekkas

1 lvl 1+ Valkyrie (completely optional as adding it would make a GiWiVaPe, so you could make that 2 more wizards or 4 more Wall-breakers)

1 lvl 4+ Heal Spell

1 lvl 3+ Rage Spell\

Your Clan Castle full of Wizards, giants and Wallbreakers, or a Pekka

Execution:

The first milestone to a successful GiWiPe is finding the right base, you can't just "randomly" launch this attack on any base.

 It can take out any TH7 easily, most TH8's and to a certain extent some TH9's.

(What to look for in the "right base" : Only one thing in particular, it should have a double box like layout, one box inside containing the important stuff like the Town Hall and Storages, and the outer box generally containing the defenses. 
Basically, two sets of walls, and three at max.)

First, attack from the side where you see the least number of defenses, or from where the way to the Town Hall is shortest. 

Then, you throw in all your giants in a go by keeping your finger pressed down in a single spot so they all go in a queue.
 You COULD try spreading them out, I've seen it work both ways, but I send them together.

Once all the Giants go in a queue, wait for the first mortar shell to fall, and drop all your Wallbreakers right behind the giants immediately. 

This will punch a hole in the first wall, and the giants will move in. Now drop your wizards in a line (spread out, not in a queue like the giants), but don't spread them out too much or they will targeted by corner defenses. 

It would take them 5-10 seconds to get rid of the buildings there. In this time interval, your giants would start getting low on health, so drop the heal spell on them. If your CC has wallbreakers, then drop that immediately to punch a hole in the second line of walls (generally, the first 5 wallbreakers manage to do that as well, but, oh well...).

Whatever happens, don't drop your Pekkas until there is a hole in the center box. Also, there should be no buildings outside the walls along the same line as the outer box.

 If they are as far in as the inner box, but on the outside (to the left or right I mean), then your Pekkas should go to the middle.

Drop your first Pekka to see where it goes, and if it goes to the center, drop the rest, if not, wait for a few more buildings to be destroyed.

As soon as your Pekkas reach the center, drop the first Rage Spell, and the Pekkas will definitely take out whatever is in the center.

 Drop the second Rage Spell on the Pekkas whenever needed.

Using this method, I have three starred many rushed Town Hall 9s and standard TH8s. Also, it is THE BEST for Dark Elixir looting.

I saved up 23000 (23k) Dark Elixir in 3 DAYS using this method, no hardcore playing involved!!!

One more thing, if your opponent has Clan Castle troops, your attack is already messed up, nothing can be done about that, so I would recommend using the giants for luring out the cc troops and dropping all the wizards to take 'em out in war.

Hey guyz, a week ago or so, I became a bit active on the Clash of Clans forums, and I decided to post some of my own ideas for the game... 

I'm just gonna copy-paste the thread I have made there regarding my first idea, and if you guyz wanna support it, visit the Page whose link will be provided below ( the link goes to the actual Super Cell forum thread)

______________________________________________________


The Troop Spell or The Troop Troop (You Gotta Read This!!!)

Okay, so I know the game has a lot of useful spells but none of them have a real element of surprise (do you agree?). I mean you can select where the spell drops obviously so there has to be some "magic" about it!

So, how about a spell that will spawn up to, say, 20 troops (that's 4 giants or 5 wizards or 20 barbs etc.) of any random level! Which troops, ANY RANDOM TROOP!


I think it would be pretty incredible to have 4 level 7 giants backing you up at TH6 or maybe to see a replay of someone spawning up 20 level 2 goblins at TH7. Of course there will be the problem that the spell won't be able to be dropped anywhere in which case this can be made a troop like the witch but who summons random troops!

Thumbs Up Love it!

Ha! Would love to see something like that, totally agree with you

Reply #2:
I suppose that if I were a sub par player who had no other chance of winning a battle, I would love at least a random chance to win

Reply #3:
And how would you feel on defense if it summoned a max dragon or 5 max wizards??

And then someone quoted him ----- Reply #4:

Yes. And you would have six spells(factory level 6) and spells can spawn anywhere in village. So how about if it spawned dragons on top of your dark elixir

To which I replied :

Awesome

Honestly, I wouldn't mind, I would feel happy for the guy who was lucky enough to spawn awesome troops like that.
AND:

Really?

According to me, it's the element of surprise of a new troop or spell that makes this game soooo much fun, I already pointed out the placement problem in my post and as to spawning drags on my dark elixir, dude, how do u feel when someone zaps you dark elixir? same difference...

Reply #5:
Hahaha! I would love to see that!

Post it here in the sub-forum under Ideas and Feature requests for New Troop and Spell Ideas, so more people would see it.


The link to this thread is : http://forum.supercell.net/showthread.php/570234-The-Troop-Spell-or-The-Troop-Troop-(You-Gotta-Read-This!!!)?p=4483932#post4483932


Then I followed his idea and re-posted it, but the replies were mainly negative so I'll just provide the link:

http://forum.supercell.net/showthread.php/650159-The-Troop-Spell-or-The-Troop-Troop-(You-Gotta-Read-This!!!)?p=4485454#post4485454

So definitely go check it out, and start getting active on the forums so that we can contribute to the game and make it EVEN BETTER!!!

That's all for now.

Hey guyz, 
Today I'm bringing another War attack strategy for TH8 (Town Hall 8) which includes Dragons and Balloons.

Stuff you'll need:
8 lvl 3+ Dragons
8 lvl 4+ Balloons
A Clan Castle with (if possible) 5 lvl 5+ Balloons
3 Rage Spells (If spells are above lvl 4 then 1 Heal and 2 Rage)

Execution:
To start of with, you need to notice the placement of the Air Defenses as they are the biggest, if not the only, threat to Dragons. 

Your Balloons will be used to take out those Air Defenses, preferably before they begin firing on your Dragons. Most TH8 bases have their Air Defenses close to the center, hunched up together, which can actually be helpful for your balloons.

If the Air Defenses are in the center, then there will be some defenses on the outside in a few rows which will have to be cleared up a bit. For this purpose, it is best to use two Dragons at hand. 

Once the defenses from the outermost (first) row are cleared, drop the rest of your Dragons and then your Balloons behind them in the direction of the Air Defenses. By now, the Clan Castle troops will march out, and your Balloons will definitely be somewhere near the center. Drop a Rage spell in the center for the Balloons and another one for the Dragons when they intercept the Clan Castle Troops.

 If you have taken a Heal Spell as well, use it for your Balloons immediately, and if you have taken 3 Rage Spells, then save it either for your Dragons or Balloons for later.
This will definitely get you a 3 Star on most maxed out Town Hall 8 War Layouts....

If the Air Defenses are somewhere close to the first layer of defenses, then use a Dragon with 3-4 Balloons in close proximity in the direction of the Air Defenses.

Basically, two Dragons will be used for a meat shield for your Balloons, while your Balloons will take out the Air Defenses in order to protect the Dragons, who will clear up the rest of the base in the end.

There is, in fact, an informative YouTube video that helps a lot on this matter which you can see here
 for the Air Defenses when they are together and here for when the Air Defenses are spread out.

Those two videos are really, really helpful for attacking with Dragons and Balloons at TH8
That's all for today.

HoWi
GiWiPe

There is a fire in your heart,
One that fuels all emotions,
Meant to create warmth in the start,
Warmth that leads to compassion.

This fire is fed with happiness and smiles,
But in turn, when feeds anger,
Then the fire no longer warms,
But burns with great danger.

It burns not bright, but sharp as a sword,
A sword slicing through the night,
Silently killing without a word,
Drinking all darkness in sight.

And then this fire changes its color,
It changes dark red to blue,
And then it turns on the heart that fed it,
And then it turns on you.
