Well, folks, my brother and nephew headed back to Phoenix. It’ll be weird for a couple of days getting used to “just us” again. Isn’t that the way it goes, though? You have visitors, laugh, watch shows, eat out, all the rest, and then, just like that, they are gone again. It was a great labor day weekend with my brother and nephew.

I normally post a funny video here for your enjoyment, but wanted to just wish everyone a great weekend this week. I had a great time during the long weekend, and I hope you did too. I know for some you this will be a working weekend. Whatever you are doing, enjoy it.

Spend some time with your family, friends, or pets. Get out and do something, whether it’s your favorite coffee shop, the beach (If you live in the tropics), or get out for a nice meal that someone else cooks. Whatever you do, have a great time. Weekends were made to get caught up with those home projects, taking naps, taking walks, whatever.

Well, that’s it for today. I wish all of you a terrific weekend. It’s FriYAY!!

Until next time…

Daily Ramblings – Gaming Saturday – CODM World Championships

Boy, what a weekend. I’ve been watching Stage 4 of the CODM World Championships and really enjoying them. This weekend is Japan and Europe. Japan’s teams are competing for their one and only slot to go to Stage 5, where they will compete with top teams from other countries. Europe’s teams are competing one of three slots given to them for the final stage.

If you’ve never seen these before, you’ll learn quite a bit watching them. You’ll see some great spots to get to in each map. You’ll also learn how to play Search and Destroy, Hardpoint, and Control. I am pretty decent at Hardpoint, but not that great with Search and Destroy or Control. Watching these gives me a better idea of how to tackle each of these game modes when I play.

Here’s the YouTube link for all things CODM: https://www.youtube.com/c/CODMEsports.

I achieved Legendary in Multiplayer and Battle Royal this last week. Man, I’m so happy. This is something I added to my task list for playing the game and so glad I did. Next Saturday, I’ll give you some tips and tricks for achieving Legendary status in both sides of the game.

Well, that’s it for now.

Happy Gaming!

All, I forgot to mention I’ll be off from blogging for about a week. My brother is flying in today from Phoenix and he’ll be here for about a week. I want to maximize my time with him while he’s here so I’m suspending many of my daily routines to do just that.

Have a great weekend. Have a great week.

I’ll see you soon!

Until next time…

Daily Ramblings – Gaming Saturday – YouTube

If you are serious about gaming, this suggestion is a no-brainer. Watch YouTube. Regardless of the gaming genre or the game you like to play, there is always someone who is producing content for that game. So today, I’ll give you highlight some streamers I watch to improve my game play.

The two mobile games I’m playing are Call of Duty Mobile (CODM) and Diablo Immortal. I haven’t found a favorite streamer yet, but these are a few that passed on some great tips. One huge tip I learned yesterday watching some streams was the importance of focus and patience. Focus means you are building one aspect of your Diablo character, particularly the gems. When you are all over the place you won’t have the strongest character you need, when you begin progressing to higher levels of game play.

In Diablo, for example, there are different levels of game play that allow you to fight higher-level enemies and get better loot. These levels are normal, Hell I, Hell II, and so on. If you get to Hell III, like I am currently, but do not have gems and other gear built up, you’ll get crushed when it comes to running around the world. The creatures are going to be too tough and it’ll be frustrating.

On to the videos. This first one will be a streamer for CODM. He passes along strategies that will preserve your ammo, keep you alive longer, and hopefully become a better player.

Here’s one for Diablo Immortal. It’s a great video to watch if you’re just starting out.

So that’s it for today. YouTube is a great resource for gamers and you’ll always find one or more streamers who you’ll enjoy watching. Once you’ve learned something, apply it. Get into your game, try out the strategy that is suggested and see if it works for you.

Happy Gaming!

Daily Ramblings – Hobbies, Games, and Movies – Call of Duty Mobile

My sister and I are still watching the WWII series I discussed last week. It is approaching its end, as we are now after the D-Day invasion, and the battle of Minsk on the Eastern Front. The Americans in the Pacific are launching attacks into the Mariana islands. It is a great series.

Call of Duty started its new season called The Heist. There will be new characters, new weapons, and new challenges. I was so excited to start playing yesterday! Currently I am grinding through shotguns to get them all gold. After these, I have the marksman rifles and sniper weapons to work on. I began getting more efficient and worked on gold camouflage for all of my melee weapons as well. I am currently working on the baseball bat melee weapon.

I haven’t watched any movies since our last chat, but there are a few that I am interested in. I’ll keep you posted on what my sister and I watch.

Well, that’s it for the week. I hope all of you have a great rest of the week.

Until next time…

Daily Ramblings – Ted Talk Tuesday – Benefits of Exercise

For those of you who fell off the exercise wagon over the last couple years of COVID, here’s a video that will give you some things to think about when you begin again. For me, exercise helps me sleep. When I wasn’t exercising consistently, my sleep patterns were thrown way off, my appetite was off, and my energy levels were in the pits.

After reading Tim Ferris’ 4-hour body last year, I also realized that much of the hype surrounding supplements, exercise routines where you are killing yourself everyday in the gym, are all falsehoods. A few good workouts a week can do the trick and they can be done in the comfort of your home or at a gym.

I hope you learn something from this video and if you are not exercising, find a little motivation in this video to begin something, anything to get moving.

Until next time…

Daily Ramblings – Hobbies, Games, and Movies – WW2 and Call of Duty Mobile

This week we are continuing our viewing of all things WWII. There are ton of documentaries on Amazon, YouTube, and Netflix. Right now we are watching WW2 – The Call of Duty – A complete Timeline. It is on Amazon Prime. Each episode is about 45 minutes and it is terrific.

I’m still plugging away at Far Cry 6 and Call of Duty Mobile. Call of Duty Mobile, like it’s counterpart, Call of Duty for the Xbox, has a system of earning camouflage for each weapon. The goal is to get all weapons to gold camouflage. To get gold, so many kills, hip shot kills, head shot kills, long shot kills are tabulated. Once all of the camouflage challenges are completed the gold camouflage is unlocked. I enjoy the challenges and daily tasks associated with this game. Each provides an award and a sense of accomplishment.

Far Cry 6 has been on the back burner for a bit, but I’ll get back on that this weekend. Surprisingly, I have not played Call of Duty on my Xbox since it came out. Mobile has kept me too busy. There is also my Dad to consider. He is now at the point where he can’t be left alone. So, I play my game on my iPad, while Mom is out and about. I also have a lot of things on my plate currently that must be tackled during the day.

Well, that’s it for this week’s installment.

Until next time…
