EPISODE 85 - LITTLE BITS OF EVERYTHING As we settle into the new year, we continue to clash! This cast contains quick hits on a variety of topics that come to mind. Topics include The Clan Games, the college football season, warring when a portion of your clan has been together for a long time while others in your clan are new to wars with that group and what does TheCoach21 actually coach? There is a little bit of everything in this one, so should be something for everyone! Enjoy! ​​*...

EPISODE 84 - GOODBYE 2017, HELLO 2018 So, what do you do when you have a podcast and a new year comes around? You review what happened in the prior year and predict what might happen in the coming one of course. I show zero originality by fulling diving into this format. Relive the lukewarm clash memories of 2017 with me. Actually, there were a few really cool things to remember as well. And 2018? My outlook is a positive one. Listen and see if you agree. Plus Clan Games #3 is coming!!...

EPISODE 82 - JUMP AROUND If you like episodes where I jump around a lot, you are gonna love this one. In between the times I dive down rabbit holes and chase squirrels, we talk about the upcoming December update! At the time of recording, two "sneak peaks" have been released, and more are coming. I play the speculation game based on these two peaks and give my thoughts on what I think may be coming. Also, I discuss the Casual Clash December Event that recently concluded, "Secret Santa",...

EPISODE 81 - THE NEXT BIG THING? The Clash of Clans team has provided a few more bread crumbs as to what might be included in the upcoming December update. We review these crumbs and have some fun speculating on what might come. A few of those crumbs sound sexy, however my expectations will remain tempered until I see it for myself. Also, my thoughts on the new, popular mobile game Lineage 2, as many Clashers give it a try. Plus, we talk Pong, yes Pong. Why? Listen and find out! ​​​*...

EPISODE 80 - HANS GRUBER Supercell and their Community Coordinator Darian (who is a Hans Gruber from Die Hard look alike in this video imho) released their 2nd Q & A Interview episode video. Although it did not contain any ground breaking revelations, it did supply some interesting information that deserves discussion, which we do. Topics include warring with Heroes down, evaluation of match making changes, and upcoming changes to the game. Also, I give my thoughts on The Bye Forever...

EPISODE 79 - RULE OF 3 VS RULE OF 5 Supercell gave us a little peek behind the curtain this week on the logic that is used to determine which target a troop will head to once dropped or after destroying its current target. They had made a recent change to this, which was noticed by those in the Clash community that notice these kind of things. Find out what this means and what actions are being taken! Also, the traditional CWL playoff ban hammer came down, finding some surprising targets. ...

EPISODE 78 - WHEN IRL CUTS INTO CLASH TIME Life just got busy for TheCoach21 (that's me!) Although all for the good, spare time that I had for clash is shrinking, being slowly taken over by IRL responsibilities like work and family. Can a clasher continue to clash when this takes place? Find out in the cast. Also, merging with another clan always has its little things that make it interesting. Find out what we see in Auburn United and how we are dealing with things. Plus, losing clan wars...

EPISODE 77 - THE KNIFE OF THE GOBLIN The annual Halloween event is upon us, an event that I enjoy in the mild, fun way it is intended. We discuss the good and not so good of this year's event. Then we delve into the spooky farming method of the Goblin Knife and how I am mixing in the Halloween troops in this attack. Also, there is singing! And sound effects! And odd references! I can't imagine you would want to miss it, so don't! Listen! NOW! ​​​Auburn United Discord Link ==>...

EPISODE 76 - THE BENEFITS OF PLAYING CLASH So we play clash because it is fun. But what else to we get out of this game, and why do we continue to play it? Although we want new content, would you still play if the game just stayed as it is? For how long? Also, I discuss my clash routine and my play habits on the Builder Hall base during and after the recent special event. Special Bonus, I almost die on podcast!!!! If that doesn't hook you, I dont know what will!!! ​​Auburn United...

EPISODE 75 - MODERN FAMILY So, a little bit of an inevitable letdown from last week's "Best Clash Week Ever", but still stuff to talk about. Near the end of last weeks pod, I announced Auburn United's inclusion in a new "Clan Family", the New Clash Order. But what does that mean, and what actually is a clan family? And how is it different than our existing Casual Clash community? We talk a little post update impressions on both the man base and the builder hall. And, exclusive audio of...

EPISODE 74 - BEST CLASH WEEK EVER! I have been clashing for a long, long time. But this may have been the most fun I have had since I started playing. So much going on, including a minor update! We discuss it's contents and impacts. Then, we get into the clash activities! Had a clash meet up at the Auburn / Ole Miss football game!!! An amazing time was had by all! Plus, another Casual Clash Invasion war and Auburn United makes an attempt at win 300! Play the podcast, find out the...

EPISODE 73 - I LIKE... In times when negative opinions prevail about anything and everything, I wanted to take the time to talk about some of the things I love, still to this day, about this game. These are things easy to lose sight of as we are bombarded with game stuff that currently needs attention. And there is a lot I still love, so much that I don't get to it all (surprise). Also, I get dangerously close to going way too in depth on the glass half full/half empty thing. Sound...

EPISODE 72 - #OLDMANBRAIN Ever wonder how an old man's brain works, or more accurately doesn't work? No? Well ignore those parts of this podcast and listen anyway. In this episode, I go off on a million tangents as I discuss where I have been and what I have been doing in clash. Tangents include, the new BH7 update and why I have very few feelings about it, and why that is telling. Also, hopes for these new changes to the war match algorithm. And if you like bad impressions, you get a...

EPISODE 71 - THESE ARE A FEW OF MY LEAST FAVORITE THINGS I typically try and keep things positive, but let's face it, things are not always bright and rosy. I get my bitch on a bit this episode and talk about a few things related to the game that have been really getting under my skin lately. But, old habits die hard, so we try and find positive solutions to either correct or deal with each of the things that bug me. Plus, where have my accounts been and has Auburn United turned things...

EPISODE 70 - CLASHING THROUGH THE HURRICANE Was lucky enough to get past Irma with minimal impact, although many others in Florida did not. I give a bit of hurricane talk and then discuss clashing through the hurricane. The Casual Clash "Too Cool for School" tour continues! However, my home clan seems to be having some problems of late getting green lines on our war log, and it is becoming a bit of an issue. And what do people mean when they say that "the game is dying" and do I agree? ...

EPISODE 69 - TO THOSE WHO HAVE MOVED ON Bitter sweet week in Clash of Clans as a couple of content creators I greatly admire will be creating content no more (until they unretire from content creation and come back ...... hopefully). We talk about how the clash community tends to react when a high profile clasher leaves the game and I give my differing perspective. Plus, the Mini Van Tour concludes but the Too School For School tour begins! Details given! And a little hurricane talk with...

EPISODE 68 - MATCHMAKER, MATCHMAKER, MAKE ME A MATCH.... So, the match making update has finally dropped. And the short term results are starting to come in. Reactions have been a bit negative, but should they be? Depends on your perspective. And there are a few different ways to look at it. We discuss the two prevalent ways people seem to be describing a "fair match". Also, I give 2 alternative game modes that may satisfy those who are not satisfied with Supercells opinion on what it...

EPISODE 67 - SHRINKAGE Like George Costanza in the pool, Clashers have been experiencing a bit of shrinkage, along with other side effects from the ongoing Clashaversary events. And some folks are not happy about it. We talk about why and my differing opinion. Also, this was another event filled week. Casual Clash Invasions occurred! More CFFC vs CC action! A Too Cool For School tour has been announced! The Mini Van Tour continues to roll! And I have been sadly neglecting my home...

EPISODE 66 - HUNGRY FOR FISH N CHIPS? Apparently I was, because I mention him a lot in this episode, including a story about our back and forth in the Casual Clash / Clash Files Family Clans friendly war. Of course, that war was not all about me and Fish, so I discuss how the whole affair went down. Plus the Minivan tour continues, with an amazing stop, where lots of fun stuff happened. And my biggest fear doing the tour comes true. Other topics, can effectiveness of attacks suffer if you...

Clash of Clans Drive Time Episode 65 - Life's A Beach - On vacation with the family, but not on vacation from recording a new episode of the podcast! Come, stroll with me down the beach as we discuss all things clash. Hear my thoughts on the upcoming matchmaking changes. Listen to my stories of travels on the Minivan Tour. And grab an adult beverage. Drinking game alert. Take a swig every time I mention the beach. Cause I do mention it. A lot. Enjoy!

EPISODE 64 - FIVE YEARS How many things in life last 5 years? How many mobile games last 5 years? We celebrate the game we love's 5th birthday by talking a bunch about it! The Mini Van Tour continues, with the mini switched out for the main. Find out what happened at my current stop. Plus, what do you do when your clans performance starts to trend in the wrong direction. We discuss small things that can result in big changes. Hit that play button!!! Links to things discussed in the...

EPISODE 63 - RAMBLINGS A bunch of random subjects on this episode. I go over the current stop on the Mini Van tour. Run into a farm war and discuss the professional war farmer a bit. How about a new idea for a game mode? One that I think combines the mindset of the open mod player and the fair play player. And finally mini accounts, what are they and how do people use em. Any of that sound interesting? If so, listen NOW! If not, still listen 8-) Links to things discussed in the...

EPISODE 62 - THE WAR PUZZLE Another clan XP event, and Auburn United is again out and about trying to help clans not yet at clan level 10 get there. #HelpAClanHitLevel10 We talk about what it means to be at clan level 10 and what it means not to. The CWL finals came and went, and my interest was low. I let you guys know why. Does a "Mini Van Tour" sound at all interesting? Find out what it is. Plus, the War Puzzle and why it is my favorite aspect of the game, but one that is often...

EPISODE 61 - THEY DO NOT WANT YOU TO THREE STAR The three star attack. The thing every clasher at every level is desperate to achieve on a consistent basis. But I do not think Supercell wants you to achieve this very often. Why do I think this is the case? Why would they think this way? Is this a bad and terrible thing? Would the game be "better" if three star attacks were a rare occurrence? Also, the BIG REVEAL! What is the Clash of Clans Drive Time Studio (which doubles as my car)? ...
