I have 7 days of playtime at level 540 and was still a lost pup not knowing anything using the same team since day 1. Now I feel I've taken my first step in the right direction.
Nice video. I personally divide it into 5 sections though: new, early game, mid game, late game, and end game. Mainly because there is enough of a difference between the 5 that something like mid game, late game, and end game are vastly different from each other.
This video helped majorly when I first started playing in 2019 on the Nintendo Switch. I stopped in mid 2020 because I switched jobs and had literally no time to game. Fast forward 4 years, I have a desire to achievement hunt on my Xbox and I feel like this video should be updated, because so much stuff has been added in 4 years that I have no clue what to prioritize.
This is great. Im at Level 1509 but haven't completed some things that I should have. i played for about a year without knowing what I was doing!!!! I have learned a lot through this; it's a complicated game and I am learning constantly from Tacet, Sinny and now you!
This is great, I was caught up in a lot of smaller details early on I missed out on the bigger picture view like this. Covers the broad basics, love it.
I was the same way. I was trying to do everything and I ended up losing the bigger picture of what I should have been doing...so now my delves all look pathetic compared to where they SHOULD be considering how much of this game I've played.
It’s a tough job...but it HAD to be done! I noticed my “bite” started to wear off towards the end. I need more anger in my life so I can bring more memes... 🥰
An excellent starter guide. Mentioning EoE, Shield of Urskaya and Key Farming team would have added a lot more value. But, what mid-game players need is a guide to obtaining True Mythics. What is the strategy to go from just grinding the game with Legendary cards to winning the game by obtaining True Mythics, especially now that LTs are (practically) history... any help with end-game guide appreciated.
Thanks for this video. I've been playing this game for years on Xbox, and I'm missing some of the mid-game stuff that I should have done with all the gold I have. Now, I have a clear path forward.
Me being a beginner, and doing explore mode and events and not getting kingdoms and earth/fire mastery up. I feel so silly now :D Thank you for the guide, so I can correct!
I am doing A LOT of PVP right now since i am obviously a midgame player. Mainly using Cedric Skeleton key thief to farm gold at the same time. The only annoying enemies are life and death and divine ishbala teams. Soooo, i am wondering: whats the best life and death team for pvp offense and defense? Right now i am running gobtruffle on defense, which is kinda lackluster
@@Keylime much appreciated and that's super cool of you as a content creator to keep in touch with your subscribers. I don't see a lot of that. I'll definitely ask when needed then and right now I'm actually playing Gems. I just got done going through tutorial and just now going through thee kingdoms. Love the game😁
Thank you for this video! You did a great job. As a beginner who didn't understand anything in the game because there was so much content, I now know what I should be aiming for and doing in the game. Thanks again!
Really appreciate that! I'd been wanting to create something like this for a bit and finally found the time to do it. It's awesome to see the positive feedback that it's been helpful. Ya da man
So you get medals by exploring? I'm so lost now lol. Played this game for hours and hours daily 4 or 5 years ago, probably even longer than that. Ive been struggling trying to figure out how to get medals and get your soldiers past level 20.
@@Keylime Hahaha,nice answer, you are not an idiot...you re the best and craziest person in GoW...keep going bro,we re all with you (One question...you make a video for first troops to put medals?)
I somehow couldn't bring my level 24 hero back into battles it really pissed me off to the point that I just started over. I miss the old days when games had booklets that explained how to deal with the nuts and bolts of the game
I didn't get my first mythic until around lv 700. It's all luck based. The easiest ways to try for a mythic is saving event keys until the kingdom of your desired mythic comes around or crafting them from soulforge. I have not found a big difference in saving glory and gems keys vs spending them when earning them but again it's all luck.
In the early game there's a handful of troops you can use that are really high impact that you get for completing the quest rewards for certain kingdoms: - Rowanne from Forest of Thorns (damage to everyone on their team, boosted by his armor) - Elwyn from Pan's Vale (damage to a single target with a really high boost) - Azura from Merlantis (explodes the board and reduces the stats on all enemies) Build teams that any (or all?!) of these three in the early game will do really well to help you through. It's hard to make teams for that early in the game since the number of troops you have is very random and small, but "damage to all" troops are incredibly strong in the early game.
I know this was a month ago, but if you still need troop help. There's a few pretty common troops and pieces that can make a really powerful lineup early. Golden Cog weapon from 8 Air mastery doubles a troop's armor. Clockwork Sphinx clears all of one color gem and increases team armor boosted by gems removed, great mana generator, can loop herself, and boosts armor. Rowanne deals 2x her armor scatter damage, which you build with the sphinx and cog. Last spot goes to any mana generator you like. I used Alchemist for yellow first, then Valkyrie for blue and souls. Now I've got the team the way I want, which is the Dark Troll, who doubles the purple on the board, which usually results in an extra turn, a charge of Sphinx, and enough purples for Sphinx to loop. This team allowed me to beat the whole story and I can beat the 9600 power dailies with it, as a super new player.
OK cool. So how long does it take to do every day? And how much money are you getting paid to do it? I hope this game pays at least eight dollars an hour, because if not I’m gonna go play eBay
So this is, what the creators of Puzzle Quest are doing now... I personally enjoy the puzzles. I even have one very old "Jewels 2" with a very big digit number score on endless mode. I suppose I will have fun :)
As a mid game player how can I power lvl 5 a kingdom without doing explore fights(game mode thats trash)? I need traitstones to unlock traits on troops.
You do. This video isn’t meant to be taken 100% literally in the sense that you ONLY do what I’m talking about in each section (I don’t mention faction assaults or pet rescues or bounties or anything like that). Rather it’s spelling out the primary goals for each group. Also: to get to power level 5 you can train the common troops in that kingdom which take considerably less resources to do than legendaries or epics. To just hit power level 5, it’s worth it! Apologies the tone of the video makes it seem like it’s LITERALLY all I’m saying you need to do 😁
@@Keylime Also, I forgot to ask something. As a late beginner, I found your most valuable troops, weapons and teams videos usefull. Can you do a beginners delve video. I know you have one explaning delves, but I want if you start right now, which delve would be better to start, upgrade and Grind daily. With starting teams, etc. With new delves introduced, everyone says someting.
I'm in the mid game and think you had some great advice, but i mean, you've got to at least have enough glory to get the weekly troop up though right? also isn't setting Whitehelm as your home kingdom super important for extra glory? On top of that, logging in every hour is the only way to get extra gems. They refresh hourly.
You do, but between the glory you’ll get from the adventure board, delving and getting PVP up to tier 1 every week (never mind faction assaults and vault keys and glory gnomes) you should basically never need to worry about it.
I know this video is 6 months old but can someone help me? I don't have either of those 2 weapons and my masteries are: 27 blue. 35 green. 27 red. 41 yellow. 26 purple. 29 brown.
So I’m in the beginner category. And I’m working on getting all kingdoms to level 10. But then you say the next step is power level 5? Power level 3 requires 4(!?) troops to have all 3 traits unlocked, I don’t know how this is possible with such low low drop rates on Arcane traitstones. Am I supposed to spam explore so they drop? I can’t reliably do anything higher than difficulty 3-4 :/
To meet that requirement, just remember that unlocking 3 traits on a common troop requires very very little. You don't have to unlock the traits on 4 GOOD troops, just 4 troops of any kind in that kingdom. That all being said, you'll definitely want to be dipping into the explore mode to grab your traitstones whenever you need any. As far as teams you could be using for explore mode: - Cedric / Egg Thief / Skeleton Key (weapon) / Greed - Shield of Urskaya (weapon) / Harpy Mage / Rowanne / Leprechaun Both of those teams are fairly easy to make, and can really easily beat much higher levels in explore regardless of your troop levels or stats. The Shield team specifically I use to farm level 12, and my girlfriend who's much lower level than I am uses the same team to farm level 12.
Try joining a good clan because each week gives a lot of bonuses...and orbs...orbs of wisdom but don't waste em on crappy troops. But u can start upgrading then
For new players know I’ve been playing for a year now and still don’t have anything really. So prepare for like 3 years of dedication or you won’t really get to do everything. Also some cards are objectively better and they are mythics. Not all mythics, you can wait 7 months to finally get yours and BAM! It’s one of the ones that no one uses. Oh and if people don’t use it it means it kinda sucks usually. No room for creativity in this game
i have had the game for bout a week now, i see all these guides that say it scales in challenge and quests. i often find myself against teams with double of higher HP and Damage then me, most times i cant even kill one of thier team and they one shot my troops. What am i doin wrong?
Are you spending your souls on leveling up your troops? One of the first people you should level up is your hero class. Get the Warlord class by completing the questline in the Broken Spire (or whatever class you may have unlocked that you like) and level them up with souls as high as you can, and put them at the top of your lineup. Skull damage is super super powerful in the early game!
i just started today. some fights are tough and i feel like i need levels, but they all cost a lot of soul which i don't have enough of. is there a best way to get them?
The best ways to get souls in the early game are pretty hard admittedly, but you CAN do the first tier of kingdom challenges, which will net you a decent chunk of souls for completing them. Mainly what you want to try and do is use your souls only on troops that you think are going to be very useful to you if at all possible. It's very tempting to just level up whatever you've got access to and try and experiment, but in the early game souls are so precious that you'd be best served by really really making sure you're not just spending them on whatever catches your eye. Once you get access to The Dragon Soul (legendary troop), I'd recommend building teams around him as much as possible to be getting a bunch of souls passively by just playing the game. Doing your delves also helps, as you get chunks of souls for completing those, and always keep your eye on the adventure board!
Couple of issues... Sin of maraj doesn't exist in my game so unlocking the underworld is not an option for me and second.. Guilds do NOT like newcommers at all.. Apart from that I can't argue with anything here
You’re an awesome person, Zaku, that’s what you are. 😎 In all reality, it comes down to whether or not all your kingdoms are already level 10+ and power level 5+ or not. Dawnbringer is a cool thing to get, but it’s not really needed in any major way to advance in the game. I’d lump DB into the end-gamer group.
Unfortunately not that kind of game. The developers intentionally keep moving the goalposts so there’s always something to chase. When you get to the endgame though (having all the troops and stat bonuses) you can basically say you’ve “beat it” if you wanted, however.
I’d say 70 hours is dramatically too low. To get all the troops and unlock everything and get them all maxed...it would take 1000’s of hours easy. It’s very much a perpetual card collector/RPG game.
I have my beginner's guide video which is specifically designed to really go into detail about what every mode is, why they're important and how to do them. This video is more meant to talk about the broader goals everyone should be working towards. To your point though, I could have added a card at some point in there to link to my beginner's guide directly to help people who wanted to learn the more specific details of what each mode is.
@keylime you should take this video to the TH-cam editor and drop links to your other videos. Not only will it help others but it will be great to push traffic to your other videos. I used to be a content creator that's why I know
Buy the daily dungeon deal every single day? That'd be great in significantly speeding up my soulforge mythic crafting but that's 1,050 gems a week. How in the world do you replenish them that much? XD
The gem offer is only 50 a day, so 350 total a week. Still slows down your gem economy a bit, but not to the point that you can’t gain substantially more anyways throughout the week. If not everyday, definitely make sure you do it every Sunday where the rewards are substantially higher!
@@Keylime omg, you did indeed specify the Gem Bounty for 50 and not the Daily Deal for 150. Derp, this is what I get for trying to watch this while catching up on a bunch of spent Delves, lol. Great video as usual btw! My husband overheard it and doesn't really know anything about GoW so when you were in full on drill instructor drill down mode at points he was like "*what* are you watching?" :D (I love that Sunday gem purchase, feels so decadent!)
@@sophrosync That's probably my favorite reaction that people tell me about. Definitely not the first time I've gotten someone's significant other to question their partner's life choices by watching my content, lol. Thanks for the good vibes!
1 like from me... nice vid. Im stuck with my new mythic hero == UNDINE, oh man, i give him all the traits, but to have a huge damage its real pain in the @ss, have to wait until all merfolk submerge then its worthit to cast. Give me some idea man... how to work out with undine... why undine why????....
Unfortunately Undine is more of a Guild Wars defensive troop for his silence than an attack troop. His damage output isn’t all that exciting, but when you can run him on defense on guild wars on blue day and get a silence off, the entire enemy team is just standing there crying as the rest of your team makes short work of them.
@@Keylime thanks man, i need to search in the forum which ally is best pair with undine. I got this undine from "path to glory" pack. Thanks again for your reply.
LMAO! You’re right- do them all!! I am on the game for hours grinding! Yes- I do sometimes get an upset tummy over it- but it’s worth it people! Grind away!! (White Tigress) player name
Gem Wars is fun to play, but it is a pay to play type game. The game is made to encourage you to pay for items to help you level up for the higher levels. It makes it difficult to win activities for those sought after items and impossible unless you play forever to get troop cards that count. I have been playing for over two months and can only get a few level 20 troops and they play level 21 up through 30s against you. I do well but hate when none of my colors come up because they rig it against you. Still fun to play but sometimes I just leave and play better games based on skill more. I don't have the funds to waste on the game due to I am out of work still. So I play it but leave when the computer keeps beating me, lol.

Nice video. I personally divide it into 5 sections though: new, early game, mid game, late game, and end game. Mainly because there is enough of a difference between the 5 that something like mid game, late game, and end game are vastly different from each other.
I laughed so many times about the way you explain. Nice!
Still relevant in 2021, great video.
Watching this in April 2021 and it’s a phenomenal guide. Thank you for this.
This is still the most useful video for beginner players I know and recommend to friends
This video helped majorly when I first started playing in 2019 on the Nintendo Switch. I stopped in mid 2020 because I switched jobs and had literally no time to game.
Fast forward 4 years, I have a desire to achievement hunt on my Xbox and I feel like this video should be updated, because so much stuff has been added in 4 years that I have no clue what to prioritize.
This is great. Im at Level 1509 but haven't completed some things that I should have. i played for about a year without knowing what I was doing!!!! I have learned a lot through this; it's a complicated game and I am learning constantly from Tacet, Sinny and now you!
Thank you for sharing
This is great, I was caught up in a lot of smaller details early on I missed out on the bigger picture view like this. Covers the broad basics, love it.
I was the same way. I was trying to do everything and I ended up losing the bigger picture of what I should have been doing...so now my delves all look pathetic compared to where they SHOULD be considering how much of this game I've played.
I've never enjoyed being yelled at in my life but today sir you have succeeded thank you lol.
It’s a tough job...but it HAD to be done!

I’ve been playing for a long time now, but you still made me learn stuff, thanks !
Bro, that was so funny, and it was very helpful too. Thank you so much
You'll get Mountain Crusher when you reach Earth Mastery 17, and Mang with Fire & Earth Mastery 23
An excellent starter guide. Mentioning EoE, Shield of Urskaya and Key Farming team would have added a lot more value.

armyxtube they should also tell you in order to really have much fun you need to play for like 2 years
I been playing this game for a year and I am just feeling like I am getting the hang of it. This video helped!! Thanks bro.
This is informative and very interesting! I really enjoyed the delivery!
what's a good team to start out with until you get to the midgame stuff??? and how do you get mang?
The best video ofr Gems of War on the internet! And I mean not just funny, but really helpful!
Thanks for this video. I've been playing this game for years on Xbox, and I'm missing some of the mid-game stuff that I should have done with all the gold I have. Now, I have a clear path forward.
That’s amazing man, I’m glad you were able to pick out some useful tidbits between all my shouting and gif spam 😆

Try this for a team. The goblin dagger makes green and red, goblin brother, king truff and Queen goblin.
haha this is amazing thank you! As a newb (level 70) this helps me understand a lot and I laughed and laughed. Good video.
Glad it was able to help and entertain. That's basically my two goals with the channel so I'M CRUSHING IT?!

Me being a beginner, and doing explore mode and events and not getting kingdoms and earth/fire mastery up. I feel so silly now :D Thank you for the guide, so I can correct!
For my team what should I focus on?
ah the big "3 D"s
Dailies
Dungeons
Delves
JUST DO IT
keep the vids coming
keep the chill atmosphere
That’s definitely the goal 😁 ❤️
How do you unlock dungeons and delves?
I am doing A LOT of PVP right now since i am obviously a midgame player. Mainly using Cedric Skeleton key thief to farm gold at the same time. The only annoying enemies are life and death and divine ishbala teams.

soooo... what's with the 5000+ unopened chests? I mean.... seems like that might be good for something. Do you wait until you have 10k or something?
How do you get each characters traits and skills unlocked? Above level 16

7:58 for the PvP, do we do ranked or casual?
We wish we had found this sooner. So informative and hilarious! Thanks man. 😂
8:00 The sargent from Full Metal Jacket. 😂
nobody says how to avoid getting stuck early / unable to beat quests to unlock more areas
Second step, dungeons, it's locked for me. Looks like I gotta complete all quests in 2 areas first? That's a lot! And this is before the noob stage :(
Content still up to date? Anything else i should look out for?
So lvl 40 is beginner? What's the best actual new player tips. I'm 3-4 days of play, and can't access any of the stuff you say to do first
Video maravilhoso. Aprendi muito. Obrigado. Comecei essa semana. Meu nível é 46. Tenho um camimgo longo pela frente.
Is it considered normal to be lvl 650+ and only get 1 mythic from chest and 1 from soulforge(xathanos)?
I didn't get my first mythic until around lv 700. It's all luck based. The easiest ways to try for a mythic is saving event keys until the kingdom of your desired mythic comes around or crafting them from soulforge. I have not found a big difference in saving glory and gems keys vs spending them when earning them but again it's all luck.
Stuck at level 5. How do I get better? I can't beat the boss at Shentang
Thanks for the video loved them all. Keylime.
How do I get Mangle?
i mean you also get more gold if you do higher explore lvl
5:28 how'd you get the damage to 22? I have mine at level 3-4 and it still only does 4 gems.
What team do you build as a new player to unlock all of the kingdoms?
In the early game there's a handful of troops you can use that are really high impact that you get for completing the quest rewards for certain kingdoms:
- Rowanne from Forest of Thorns (damage to everyone on their team, boosted by his armor)
- Elwyn from Pan's Vale (damage to a single target with a really high boost)
- Azura from Merlantis (explodes the board and reduces the stats on all enemies)

This team allowed me to beat the whole story and I can beat the 9600 power dailies with it, as a super new player.

you also cab do exp 9+

As far as teams you could be using for explore mode:
- Cedric / Egg Thief / Skeleton Key (weapon) / Greed
- Shield of Urskaya (weapon) / Harpy Mage / Rowanne / Leprechaun
Both of those teams are fairly easy to make, and can really easily beat much higher levels in explore regardless of your troop levels or stats. The Shield team specifically I use to farm level 12, and my girlfriend who's much lower level than I am uses the same team to farm level 12.
Try joining a good clan because each week gives a lot of bonuses...and orbs...orbs of wisdom but don't waste em on crappy troops. But u can start upgrading then
Well I can't get them done so thanks alot
For new players know I’ve been playing for a year now and still don’t have anything really. So prepare for like 3 years of dedication or you won’t really get to do everything. Also some cards are objectively better and they are mythics. Not all mythics, you can wait 7 months to finally get yours and BAM! It’s one of the ones that no one uses. Oh and if people don’t use it it means it kinda sucks usually. No room for creativity in this game
i have had the game for bout a week now, i see all these guides that say it scales in challenge and quests. i often find myself against teams with double of higher HP and Damage then me, most times i cant even kill one of thier team and they one shot my troops. What am i doin wrong?
Are you spending your souls on leveling up your troops?
One of the first people you should level up is your hero class. Get the Warlord class by completing the questline in the Broken Spire (or whatever class you may have unlocked that you like) and level them up with souls as high as you can, and put them at the top of your lineup.
Skull damage is super super powerful in the early game!
i just started today. some fights are tough and i feel like i need levels, but they all cost a lot of soul which i don't have enough of. is there a best way to get them?
The best ways to get souls in the early game are pretty hard admittedly, but you CAN do the first tier of kingdom challenges, which will net you a decent chunk of souls for completing them.
Mainly what you want to try and do is use your souls only on troops that you think are going to be very useful to you if at all possible. It's very tempting to just level up whatever you've got access to and try and experiment, but in the early game souls are so precious that you'd be best served by really really making sure you're not just spending them on whatever catches your eye.
Once you get access to The Dragon Soul (legendary troop), I'd recommend building teams around him as much as possible to be getting a bunch of souls passively by just playing the game.
Doing your delves also helps, as you get chunks of souls for completing those, and always keep your eye on the adventure board!
Couple of issues... Sin of maraj doesn't exist in my game so unlocking the underworld is not an option for me and second.. Guilds do NOT like newcommers at all.. Apart from that I can't argue with anything here
but, but, what about dawnbringer, and soul farming.. I am in that zone now, what am I ?
You’re an awesome person, Zaku, that’s what you are. 😎
In all reality, it comes down to whether or not all your kingdoms are already level 10+ and power level 5+ or not.
Dawnbringer is a cool thing to get, but it’s not really needed in any major way to advance in the game.
I’d lump DB into the end-gamer group.
BEST GUIDE EVER LOL
Wow - did you take 3 Monster drinks before doing this :) Loved it!
This is what happens when I have 5 hours to make a video and not 1...I spend A TON of time sneaking my weirdness into it :D
thank you so much !!!!!!
My pleasure!
Can this game be finished?
Unfortunately not that kind of game. The developers intentionally keep moving the goalposts so there’s always something to chase.
When you get to the endgame though (having all the troops and stat bonuses) you can basically say you’ve “beat it” if you wanted, however.
Keylime thanks for the reply. I checked on howlongtobeat and it's been put at 70 hours or so to get through. such a long one.
I’d say 70 hours is dramatically too low.
To get all the troops and unlock everything and get them all maxed...it would take 1000’s of hours easy.
It’s very much a perpetual card collector/RPG game.
This video makes me not want to play anymore but my life is miserable so I still do……😢
Would have been nice to say why we do things instead of doing it. Especially for newer players.
I have my beginner's guide video which is specifically designed to really go into detail about what every mode is, why they're important and how to do them.
This video is more meant to talk about the broader goals everyone should be working towards.
To your point though, I could have added a card at some point in there to link to my beginner's guide directly to help people who wanted to learn the more specific details of what each mode is.
@keylime you should take this video to the TH-cam editor and drop links to your other videos. Not only will it help others but it will be great to push traffic to your other videos. I used to be a content creator that's why I know
Buy the daily dungeon deal every single day?
That'd be great in significantly speeding up my soulforge mythic crafting but that's 1,050 gems a week. How in the world do you replenish them that much? XD
The gem offer is only 50 a day, so 350 total a week.
Still slows down your gem economy a bit, but not to the point that you can’t gain substantially more anyways throughout the week.
If not everyday, definitely make sure you do it every Sunday where the rewards are substantially higher!
@@Keylime omg, you did indeed specify the Gem Bounty for 50 and not the Daily Deal for 150. Derp, this is what I get for trying to watch this while catching up on a bunch of spent Delves, lol.
Great video as usual btw! My husband overheard it and doesn't really know anything about GoW so when you were in full on drill instructor drill down mode at points he was like "*what* are you watching?" :D (I love that Sunday gem purchase, feels so decadent!)
@@sophrosync That's probably my favorite reaction that people tell me about. Definitely not the first time I've gotten someone's significant other to question their partner's life choices by watching my content, lol.
Thanks for the good vibes!

Muito obrigado pelo vídeo me ajudou muito
The neverlasting fight? xD
Every time I rewatch the video I die inside that I said never lasting and not ever lasting.
Cuts me to me the bone! 😭
1 like from me... nice vid. Im stuck with my new mythic hero == UNDINE, oh man, i give him all the traits, but to have a huge damage its real pain in the @ss, have to wait until all merfolk submerge then its worthit to cast. Give me some idea man... how to work out with undine... why undine why????....
Unfortunately Undine is more of a Guild Wars defensive troop for his silence than an attack troop.
His damage output isn’t all that exciting, but when you can run him on defense on guild wars on blue day and get a silence off, the entire enemy team is just standing there crying as the rest of your team makes short work of them.
@@Keylime thanks man, i need to search in the forum which ally is best pair with undine. I got this undine from "path to glory" pack. Thanks again for your reply.
LMAO! You’re right- do them all!! I am on the game for hours grinding! Yes- I do sometimes get an upset tummy over it- but it’s worth it people! Grind away!! (White Tigress) player name
Amen! It’s not always the most glamorous work, but doing it makes your troops happy people, lol.
I’m on for years... that’s how long it will take before you can do anything
I'm new, and none of what you pointed out made sense.
Gem Wars is fun to play, but it is a pay to play type game. The game is made to encourage you to pay for items to help you level up for the higher levels. It makes it difficult to win activities for those sought after items and impossible unless you play forever to get troop cards that count. I have been playing for over two months and can only get a few level 20 troops and they play level 21 up through 30s against you. I do well but hate when none of my colors come up because they rig it against you. Still fun to play but sometimes I just leave and play better games based on skill more. I don't have the funds to waste on the game due to I am out of work still. So I play it but leave when the computer keeps beating me, lol.
Drill Sergeant Lime is so hot right now...
Seriously, sit on my biscuit

@@kaliyuga4312 That game is going to yield the best "in-jokes" for this channel ever. lol
Good to see how he starts of with teams. NOT!!!
