Planes Fire and Rescue review

I saw Planes Fire and Rescue with my family this weekend.  We saw the first Planes and we didn't think it was nearly as good as we hoped for.  Planes Fire and Rescue did not disappoint.  This is my Planes Fire and Rescue review as well as my wife's opinion and my 5 year old boy.


My wife and I went in thinking that the move might not be as good as we were hoping.  Right off the bat we were impressed.  The movie was exciting as soon as it started.  The length of Planes Fire and Rescue is perfect at only 83 minutes.  My 5 year old son was able to stay interested the entire movie which is unusual.  Most movies he gets bored or anxious about halfway through.  Planes Fire and Rescue is the latest release from Disney.

Most of this movie was appropriate.  Their was one joke where one of the characters replaced the word @ss with Aston Martin.  To a child it wouldn't be very obvious.  I just don't like when movies meant for children use adult jokes.



There are some good moral taught in the movie such as friendship.  It also teaches that true friends will do anything to try and help out.  It also demonstrates how some people will put fame and fortune above safety.

Here is a trailer for Planes Fire and Rescue.

How to Train your Dragon Tshirts.

How to Train your Dragon 2 was released only a few months ago.  This is one of the most exciting animations to be released in 2014.  Hiccup Astrid and the rest of the gang join up with Toothless and the other dragons to save berk from the evil dragon slaver Drago.  Hiccup and Toothless like to create maps of new areas but one adventure leads them to the discovery of an ice cave full of new wild dragons.  They also fall into the hands of some dragon slave traders working for Drago.  The whole group must fight to save the peace in Berk and stop Drago from enslaving the dragons.

Now you can join the adventure by getting some of your own How to Train your Dragon shirts.  These shirts are good quality and feature several characters from the movie. The first shirt is a black shirt with the eyes and mouth of Toothless.  Toothless is one of the funniest characters in the movie.  He is powerful and strong but has a child like attitude.




The next shirt features Hiccup riding on Toothless.  They are in an attack position and Hiccup has his flaming sword drawn ready for battle.




The next shirt features four of the character from How to Train your Dragon and three of their Dragons.  Hiccup, Fishlegs, Tuffnut, Ruffnut and their dragons Toothless, Meatlug and the two headed dragon Barf and Belch.

Castle Clash Druid

In Castle Clash there is no better hero than the Druid.  He is the most important hero in every aspect of the game.  His ability to heal units and give them a buff makes him an absolute must in every line up.  The Druid is not only great combined with other units but solo he is really powerful.

Why is the Castle Clash Druid so Popular

The Druid is so popular because he is one of only 2 heroes that can heal.  The Angel hero can heal but it is not nearly as effective because the amount of healing is smaller, she can only target 1 unit and there is no buff associated with her heals.  At skill level one you get an attack bonus of 15%.  At skill level 9 the attack buff will be 32% and will apply to 10 units.  The heal combined with the extra attack makes this skill incredibly strong.  When you compare the damage to similar heroes this hero wins again.  Max damage is 3635 compared to the Angel at 2199 and Cupid at 3948.  Health is very similar as well with 28700 compared to the Angel at 16155 and Cupid at 29615.

Best Heroes to Combine with Druid

The Druid will pair really well with any other heroes.  Two stick out as the best to have in your line up.  The Thunder God and Grizzly Reaper both make extremely good combinations.  Drop your Thunder God, Grizzly Reaper or better yet, drop both in safe areas of a raid.  Even if a single tower or only a few units can hit them.  Next drop the Druid so he can heal the other heroes.  The Thunder God and Grizzly Reaper will use their talents to kill units and building from across the map.  You can virtually destroy the entire base without using any units or other heroes if your opponent doesn’t build their base correctly.
Another good choice is to pair with Immortep.  Immortep gains the attack bonus for both his normal hits as well as his skill.  This means when he skill goes off it will do a lot more damage.
Cupid is the best support hero to combine with.  Cupid will continually feed energy which will cause more heals and also more buffs.

Best Talent for Castle Castle Druid

The best talent to have is berserk.  Berserk will make your hero attack faster which will in turn make him cast his skill more often.  The more often you cast heal the better. War God is a decent talent but the bonus attack only apply to attack and does not apply to the healing.  The same goes with bulwark.  With bulwark you get the bonus health and attack but it does not apply to the healing percentage.  Revitalize is good in the arena but only decent in raids or the Here Be Monsters quest.  Revive can be really good in certain situations but I would never purposely try to get it.  Deadly strike is decent but again only affects damage.  Deadly strike will make the Druid much better solo but will not really help much as a group.
 
Do not Spend Hero Shards to Get Druid

Do not spend any hero shards to get the Druid.  Every 30 days if you complete the daily quest each daily you will get a free one.  The same goes for a Paladin.  There is no reason to waste 1800 hero shards on this hero when you get one for free each month.

Is Wikinut a scam?

One of the websites I write for is Wikinut.  I started writing for them about 3 years ago.  Since that time I have made almost no money from them.  Its not a traffic problem, it's a rate problem.  I can consistently get 50 to 100 views a day across my articles.  But for all of those views I get a penny or two most days.  So is Wikinut a scam?  I wouldn't necessarily put Wikinut into the category of a scam website.  They do pay you once you reach the payment threshold.  It took me over 2 years to reach the 2.50 payout limit though.  So I would say Wikinut is not worth submitting articles to.  You will never make enough money from the website to justify the time writing.

One thing that Wikinut is good for is getting back links and driving traffic to your other articles.  Wikinut is lenient when it comes to linking to other content.  Write a article and put a link to another article on another platform that will actually pay well.  You will get views on your Wikinut article and they will in turn find your other articles.

Wikinut is not a website I would recommend for passive income.  You will never write enough articles to get a good daily amount of earnings.  I have given up on submitting anything new to them except if I include links to other articles.  I don't know if the links are dofollow or not so I don't know if the links add any SEO value.
