I've continued to play World of Warships in my quest to obtain the Japanese battleship Yamato. Earlier this week, I amassed enough XP and credits to purchase the Izumo, a Tier IX Japanese battleship. Now I am only one tier away from the Yamato. As you might expect, unfortunately, the resources needed to acquire these top tier ships is quite steep. Therefore, it will probably take me a very long time to reach my goal. Here is the game's description of the Izumo:

In 1934, Japan decided to abandon the displacement limits set by the Washington Naval Conference in order to surpass U.S. battleships in combat capability. The Imperial Japanese Navy General Staff issued an order to design a battleship with nine 460 mm guns and a displacement of 69,500 tons. The presented projects had three triple-gun turrets mounted on the bow, housing 410 mm guns. The preferred project had a combined diesel and steam turbine propulsion plant. While the design was never implemented, further development led to the creation of the Yamato-class battleships.

I've enjoyed most of the tower defense games I've played. The most recent one was Cubemen. It is a 3D tower defense game where your defenses are actually mobile cubemen instead of stationary towers. I played Cubemen in its single-player classic defense mode. There are 35 of these levels but no narrative thread connecting them. Cubemen has no story at all. You can skip around between levels but I played them in order. The levels are rated for difficulty from easy, medium, hard, and insane. Starting with the hard levels, things started to get interesting and sometimes frustrating. I completed all levels except for 18, 24, 32, and 35. I thought most of the levels were fair but a few seemed exceedingly difficult. Unlike some similar games, cubemen and their enemies can miss. That may be realistic but it adds an element of randomness to the game. You can play a level multiple times with the exact same strategy and unit deployment and get different outcomes. It wasn't one of my favorite tower defense game but I'm still glad I played it.
