Synopsis
Grayz discusses whatever is on his mind when it comes to Clash of Clans from a hardcore perspective. So in other words this show is not catered to casual players at all. Gaming is tightly connected to the rest of his life, so don't be surprised if getting attacks in between changing diapers, donating troops and hating on most gaming podcasts in general is considered being hardcore. Cheating is not a part of anything that has to do with Grayz and his gaming adventures, so expect modding to be discussed as well. Guests? Maybe. It all comes down to time and if he finds people with a similar mindset.Shows will be released monthly, but when time allows more shows might be uploaded, but without spamming the feed.

Clash for Gold - Update # 1 - R.I.P. GrayzBDF Enter Grayztrades
25/12/2017 Duration: 01minI'm grayztrades on Instagram if you for whatever reason want to know what the hell I'm up to nowadays. This has been a part of my plan all along although I didn't know how I'd do it. So if I do any gaming content in the future at all, it will probably be under extreme circumstances with a set time frame. Basically a hardcore challenge in order to save time and to learn whatever it is I want to learn for my business endeavours from it. I mainly post on Instagram and then share it to Twitter. Merry Christmas and F*ck off! Me too! https://www.instagram.com/grayztrades/ https://twitter.com/grayztrades

Clash for Gold # 8 - The Crossroads
10/06/2016 Duration: 57minUsing multiple accounts on Android? Using "2Face" for fast switching. Using "Parallel Space" for an extra log in on a 3rd acc. Can also create a shortcut to the home screen with these apps. Plans to challenge my own bases with minis to practice my base building rather than attacking. Using short drills. Why having main accounts active clan becomes so much more important post update since the challenge update. Using different mindsets and how it affects how I play. From all out war to farming, over the course of my break which now has morphed into a new phase, where I rather would get into the next learning endavour outside of CoC. The pitfall of the hardcore mindset. The impossibility for me to play without long-term goals in games that bring out my competitiveness. Even if the goal has nothing to do with any serious competitive play. Why? Cause pushing boundaries is one of the most fun aspects of learning. Scratching my nose, scratching my eyebawl and Ghosts scratching my walls! Scared the hell out of me. ht

Clash for Gold # 9 - "Just Think!"
10/06/2016 Duration: 01h54sHello4Now has reached level 5! Took a long time. Thanks to every single player that helped us get there over the course of time! New, more solid priorities in life and in CoC. Less fear of getting judged (What's up, Hoebag! ^^). Looking for a clan. Farming vs casual war vs serious war vs pushing vs sleeper clans. My new clan scouting strategy. Using minis before committing to a clan with my TH9. Why hasn't anyone created a huge website where any player/clan that's interested can look for scrims, sister clans, players, switching subs in and out etc. It's as if the players that would care are so few in CoC in comparison to players in WoW (ie www.wowhead.com), CS:GO or even Diablo 3 where such sites have grown organically. Pros n cons of different clans. Level 10 perks. Clan chat. Friendly challenges. Wars and pushing whenever I want. Missing the mentality of the most hardcore that have the best discussions, ideas, efficient strategies @ farming / wars / pushing etc. Move all accounts to Hello4Now? The upside is

Clash for Gold # 7 - Return of the Silver Goblin
26/05/2016Upgrading the most expensive things first as long as they're a top priority. It makes the rest feel so much easier to upgrade in comparison. Upgrading defenses aggressively. Pushing to see if the bonuses were worth the cook times. Breaking my old records finally lead to me going all Goblins. Resources for troops are important when pushing. Level 6 Gobs = More loot. Faster. Army Comp 1: 196-210 Goblins 5-12 Wall breakers 2 heals 4 Quakes. Army Comp 2: 196-210 Goblins 5-12 Wall breakers 2 heals 2 jumps. Done all elixir upgrades but Baby Dragons and Walls. Gemmed the time @ Barracks, Lightning spell and Dark spell factory. Practicing efficiently. Inspired by Thorin's Thoughts - Playing to your individual strengths on Youtube. Some thoughts about the fair play fundamentalists and their snowflake worries @ Friendly Challenges in clan wars. Don't worry, I'm a special snowflake too!

WoG Brainstormz # 32 vs Clash for Gold # 6 - Blizzard vs Supercell: Dawn of Justice
20/05/2016 Duration: 48min"CoC has died". Again. "WoW has died". Again. Blizzard (WoW), Supercell (CoC), organizational changes in companie and my analysis from the outside looking in. Annoying fairplay fundamentalists (yeah, I go there) Sticking to my own joy filled path, outside of communities, in the scorched CoC land of FPC, modders, quitters, haters and schizos that lova and hate the CoC. Sweden's co-dependancy system (Jantelagen). Thooorin's Alpha Draft commercial impersonation goes to hell. Get dat sick scrilla on his Youtube. Hashtag #keepcalmimright because I can. https://twitter.com/ClashforGold https://twitter.com/GrayzBDF

Clash for Gold # 5 - Titles are Important
18/04/2016 Duration: 37minThe Family Feud in the North Family. How it went down, why, my take on the positives, the organization, the attacks, meeting new people, and my completely messed up assumptions about how it was going to go down on TS. Hardcore with nonstop planning! No way. Was the opposite for obvious reasons that my war side neglected. I have a complete mental meltdown somewhere past the middle of this episode. The music is the queue for when things go bonkers. Kept it all cause it's audiomentary. I'd actually go as far as claiming that this is the closest i've gotten to the oldschool Raid Warning episodes with Seven and Brian Hough (and Thespius at times). Even I get completely shocked of my state while recording. A 100% sober but entirely Joker'd up. Spent alot of time finding a fitting soundtrack to this insanity and had a blast doing it! And now i've learned so much about what to expect while editing that I can mess around with more. https://twitter.com/ClashforGold https://twitter.com/GrayzBDF

Clash for Gold # 4 - For Those About to CoC
16/04/2016 Duration: 32minI couldn't sleep, so I recorded and jump straight into the action with Metallica pumping in the background. My thoughts on 8.5. My change of perspective over time, wanting to hit harder bases (seeing TH6-8 in some matchups since we're top heavy). Why I don't choose a hard hitter's strategy like Hulk aka Green Man did when he was in Reddit Troopers. Defending becomes more important. Upgrading heroes. My thought process. Pros and cons as a TH9. Maxxing out Townhalls on my minis, so that I can stay up to date with low level wars. The basics. The foundation for higher level warfare. TH6, ,7, 8 nr 1, 8 nr 2 and a TH9. Forgot to mention my Altitis which is the reason why I play multiple alternate accounts. Realizations. All of a sudden i'm close to having max troops as a TH9. Feels so odd that it went so fast. But that happens if you gem the time on heroes and on certain troops. https://twitter.com/ClashforGold https://twitter.com/GrayzBDF

Clash for Gold # 3 - The Beauty in Learning
09/04/2016 Duration: 33minThis 3rd episode was recorded on the same night as episode 1 and 2. Learning new things adds beautiful colors and nuances to the spectrum of life. Like learning new languages. Using Bluestacks for war and my positive experience when my crackpad broke (shattered iPad). Pros n cons. Dropping Skitch. Using MS Paint to sketch attacks on the PC. Scheduling life and wars. Joining clans that look at members wanting to improve and being a good fit is important . My love for base building. Buff to Valks switching to buildings faster like Hunters in WoW switching to adds on boss fights. Using the Samsung s2 Tab + Blue Yeti Pro + USB Audio Recorder to record and loving it. https://twitter.com/ClashforGold https://twitter.com/GrayzBDF

Clash for Gold # 2 - From the Depths of Hell
06/04/2016 Duration: 37minI've had a lot things happen the past 8 months. I can definitely tell that I actually needed to get some real talk in here too, so this one gets deep and personal. This was recorded on the same night as episode 1. Just released later. Leaving clans/guilds has become alot easier over time. Recovery and Co-dependancy. Life lessons. Life, death, social media, 12 step programs, Rest in Peace to all of my friends (and Pimp C from UGK) Troubles with finding clans on a EU timeline. Especially that's connected to a hardcore clan family. What i'd do if I couldn't war on the level I need/want to Fresh hits and why I love them 3 stars are a team effort. One attacker can't win the war, only the battle Looking for hardcore family clans in EU is harder than in the US. Less podcasters and exposure than the US. Although now, while typing, I realized that there might be Youtubers connected to HC clan families. Only problem? I can't stand most Youtubers and their fake, made up personas Being low, hitting high. Bein

Clash for Gold # 1 - Hardcore is the only path left
05/04/2016 Duration: 47minTried chopping this 1 down but there were so many topics hit at various times going in and out of eachother. Be warned! Between 21:20-27:50 I recorded when Stormwindz (my 1yo) was crying in the background sporadically. Lower the volume or skip ahead! Changing clan from a friends family type clan to learn faster and to play with more hardcore players. In other words players that want to improve but that won't cheat to do it . Looking at different clans with 54 war stars to my name . TED Talks. Me being a multipotentialite and what that means when I begin new endeavors in life. I'm learning faster cause of it . The importance of having an outlet when having a family life with alot of things happening. Using CoC as a break from life but getting better at balancing things and not fleeing thru gaming. Becoming more and more hardcore and now identifying with players that have a military background in CoC/WoW. Forgot to mention Aargh_pc from CoC fighters. Leaving Spartan Lore (feeder). ByeForever merging with

Clash for Gold # 0 - Breaking the Silence
25/02/2016 Duration: 13minTesting the new podcast feed. Speaking my mind on various topics. Why i've switched from WoW to CoC. The Clash of clans podcast, drama queens like Bella makes bacon, Natalia and more. https://twitter.com/ClashforGold https://twitter.com/GrayzBDF
