The Wire Troll: More Dynasty Droppings

/ Football, Josh Johnson, The Wire Troll

Yeah, remember Locker? He has out been since Week 10 following foot surgery. What was lost this season is that Locker was really showing improvement. His QB rating was up 12 points from a year ago and he was showing mobility with 6.5 yard average carry and two rushing TDs. Not many QBs enjoy early success and Locker has had to earn his due. However with durability being an issue from him we feel like he still has a lot to prove. He is a great Dynasty add at this point largely because we feel like he will get no love this offseason or this summer in Fantasy drafts. That’s okay, because come Week Four of the 2014 season, some owners will be searching for a QB and Locker — who will have strung three dynamic starts together for your team — will not be available.

Video Game Review: China Rising DLC

/ Jeff Cater, Video Game Reviews

This map is set in a baking canvas in the middle of the desert. The smooth sand dunes creating splashes of light as you run by make it easy to see why the place is called The Silk Road. Although this map is wide and open, marksmen and tank drivers may find it difficult to do their job effectively because the heat is constantly distorting images in the distance, making even the most eagle-eyed crew wary of any unchecked advance. Air support is crucial in this map in order for infantry not to be completely decimated by armour, so the skies fill up nicely overhead. Along with the usual armoured transports and tanks, we also have the dirt bike coming back to us finally, which definitely makes CTF games a bit easier on the legs.

Video Game Review: Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag

/ Video Game Reviews

On the bright side, naval combat feels much improved. You have three different speeds at which to navigate the ship, and your full complement of weaponry is used contextually based on how you position the camera. For example, looking straight ahead allows use of mortars or a chain shot. Tilt until you’ve got a starboard or port view, however, and you’ll be firing cannons; look behind and you’ll drop explosive barrels into the water. Disabled vessels can be boarded if you come up alongside them, and outside of some trouble gauging distance between ships, it worked well.

The Wire Troll: Jack of All Trades

/ Basketball, Bob Raymond, The Wire Troll

One of the mysteries of the 2013 offseason was why the Warriors weren’t interested in re-signing Jack. In 2012-13, he was the “glue” in Golden State as its sixth man, averaging 12.9 points and 5.6 assists while hitting 40 per cent of his three-point attempts. Of course, the Warriors surprised Denver in the first round and then took the San Antonio Spurs to six games in the Western Conference semifinals. Jack moved on to Cleveland and is now beginning to gel with his new teammates. He has been very effective over the past several games and is once again proving he’s a Fantasy worthy combo guard.
