4 Jul 2020 2 minute read 0 comments Solominer

Watching the bees work on building their homes is entertaining to me. I watch them as they finish off a tunnel capping it off with a final cell of mud. In the first part of the video a bee can be seen laying down mud to seal off the larva they will...

Once we had all the capture points secured we moved onto the HQ. You cannot capture it but you can lay down so much fire that they will not be able to easily retake any other capture points. Using a Hind that I stole from their base I lay down rocke...

The Bradley Fighting Vehicle is one of my favorite light armor vehicles in DC. It has an explosive round and rapid fires making it quite devastating. I start off using that vehicle to deny enemy infantry the ability to advance onto my secured post o...

When it starts getting hot outside, taking a ride on the water is a good way to cool off. Its usually a little cooler on the surface and you can always take a dip to cool off as well. I enjoy going out on the rivers in Georgia with my friends @ryuli...
