I am not sure, I want to, ill join if I can lock in to this one.
I vote if we can't get the whole crew together we wait, unless you're cool with soloing an act or two between this event and the next.
I think id rather not solo an event if I can help it.
Scrypt, if Jon can't show what do you think about a hardcore MP3-or-so Demon Hunter last man standing? :)
I'm thinkin' I might totally be down for that :)
Okay, so, I kinda have a...date...like, with a girl, and everything. So, I'm not going to be able to make it. I hate to bail, because I really want to progress in this game. I'll be home all day on Sunday, if there is a chance of hooking up then. I'm sorry, Travis!!
Hey man, listen. Some things are more important than Diablo. This is one of those things.
Thats awesome. Find out if she plays Diablo! :D
You guys up for tomorrow night?
I think I can do that.
I'm available. Female free.
Argh. I had something on the calendar already. A High School Graduation party for a friend.
Sorry yo.
Sunday im good though
Cool, I'm off Monday so Sunday should work if we do it at the same time this one was planned. Scrypt?
Sunday works. I'm in.
Event added!
Awesome, look forward to the game!
Let's do Skype for the event tonight so we can co-ordinate. We can trade credentials when we join up in the game.
I warn you both, I'm terrible at this game.
No worries. This'll be good.
That was fun, thanks guys.
Totally fine Travis, i'm not great either. For that we have easy/medium bots :D
Since you can't click on that, you can right-click it and choose to view it in a new tab to see the chart.
Increased monster power sounds good to me. How do you set that?
MP1 sounds cool. Didn't even know you could do such things. Probably would know that, if I actually played the game more ;).
Travis is magic.
It's weird. You have to go into your settings to allow yourself the ability to change it. If you had no reason to go to your settings, and you haven't read about Monster Power, you'd never know it was there.
This time works for me, let me know when its locked in and ill add it to my calendar.
7pm is the time. I think ill go ... BARB! Or Monk? I think Barb.
So much better with sound! Thanks guys/gal, it was fun :)
(would be more fun with all the voices though!)
Fun as always. Same time next week? Or do you want to try to get in a little earlier?
Earlier works for me, especially on Saturday.
Ill hit you both up offline to discuss Saturday.
Its a secret to everybody.
I'll join in for a bit. I'll go Terran because they're easy.
I can probably do this. I'll either go Terran or Protoss depending on my mood.
I just reinstalled it on my PC. Wow. You know 640x480 doesn't age well at all.
The base game is solid, but CAN'T A BROTHER GET 1024x768?
I'm trying to get Battle.net to work, but I keep getting an error saying it can't identify my version. I downloaded the game through Battle.net, and patched to 1.16. Any one else have a similar issue?
I did it a few days ago and all was well. I try it again tonight and see whats up.
Just figured it out. If you're on Windows 7, use run as administrator.
I'm seriously struggling here. Using Administrator, compatibility mode (Vista and XP), etc. It just crashes as soon as I launch it. I played it a while back, since I upgraded to Windows 8, so I know it's not that. I tried a new display driver, nothing.
WTF.
I'll keep at it.
So I am on Win 7. Upgraded game downloaded from Battle.net.
Compat mode XP SP3, Disable Visual Themes & Disable Desktop Compression.
Lemmie try launching it.
Yeah, it launched ok. Menus look like crap, game is fine.
OK got it working. I'm not sure what changed. I decided to clear all the changes and go back to how it was before I started, so no compat, no Administrator mode, nothing, and now it works. Go figure.
:D Nice.

I can't join. It says the latency is too high.
Strange. Ok. Ill create another game.
Are you sure about that password? It won't let me in.
I just made a new game and it doesn't need a password.
Yep, getting latency too high
Do you both have SC2? Maybe we can just play that.
Same error. Are your ports properly set up?
I have SC2.
Yeah, same thing I do for any other game.
You have to port forward if you haven't

What a bunch of bullshit. I don't remember it being this hard to play on Battle.net back in the day.
Great, lets play that.
Yeah I have it, switching. :)
It has to optimize and update and stuff, not sure how long that will take.
Now, on another topic, I wish I had that battle.net launcher :)
I am in SC2 with the lobby open.
Me too.
You guys will have to have fun without me. I have so many updates to download for this thing it will be hours before it's playable.
Yeah we got a game in, vdogmr25 is pretty damn good.
I am going to do a special SC2 event, now with spawn copies and all we can all enjoy the Heart of the Swarm fun from even the Starter Edition. Which is pretty awesome.
I'd like to do Witch Doctor, I could also do Wizard (my Wizard is barely existent at this point).
I pick ze Monk.
I am ok with starting again. Even if we must play the Spider level again :D
I've never done demon hunter or witch doctor, mostly because those both seem crazy complicated and death-y. My Monk is 60+9, my wizard is 44, and barb is...whatever it is after our last run. So I guess I'm a demon hunter, since Trav is doing witch doctor...?
Witch Doctors are fun. Haven't played as a Demon Hunter. And you don't HAVE to go pets with a WD. Well when you get enough skills to effectively choose.
After playing today with you guys for a few minutes I totally dug Travis Barb character. It was so decked out. Plus with your Wizard, it was like no contest for hellions.
Barb opens up a lot when you get whirlwind. It's so fun, if a bit overpowered. Some people call it spin-to-win. :)
It had been forever since I played my wizard, I'd completely forgotten how much fun it is (and how very smite-y)! My problem with the ranged characters in D3 is that my entire strategy is to run into the middle of a group of monsters and start punching. Great for Monk and Barbarian, less healthy for ranged characters. Tomorrow night may just end in my repeated death.
I have one of each character class, but nothing higher than level 22. I'll go with the flow, and pick something supportive :).
Ok so are we going Act 1 starting again or something else?
If so I have the Barb from the last event ready for Act 2.
A change of scenery would be nice, but I'm up for anything.
If we're doing act 2 we'll need to get our characters up to that point. Should only take a couple of hours, but let us know.
Diablo needs a level sync like some MMO's have so you don't have to worry about that crap! :)
Since no one else will decide then lets do act I again with fresh characters.
TAKE THAT EVERYONE!
Oh and I still get Monk.
ZING!
My status is pending. Transformer blew just down the road and the whole block is without power. I'll keep you posted.
Damn. Hoping for the best.
Maybe I can get it running on my iPhone...
Yeah totally, let me know how that works out. Its just a point and click game anyway, prob work with touch.
Still nothing :(
We are now fully operational!
Sweet. Be there soon.
that was a lot of fun! Thanks everyone :)
so glad you implemented the event system!!
Glad you got your power back on! :)
So next week, Act 2, whatever class you want?
I'm totally down!
Sounds good Travis. And im glad i made it too :D
I'm game! Trav and I were just talking about it, I think we're going to try to get me a witch doctor through Act I tomorrow--that's the only class I haven't played yet.
Vaguely related: We decided to speed-run the whole game after we finished inferno this afternoon and there are achievements for clearing each act in under 1 hour. Running level 60 monks through on normal difficulty is more fun than you might think! :)
It's a whole new way of playing the game. Trying to dodge enemies is a whole different feel than fighting them. But just blasting through an act in like 40 minutes or less is fun.
It's also amusing when they attack you and just explode. I don't know why, I don't even have thorns damage. They just explode. The Butcher even.
That sounds awesome and id totally be down to watch that(don't quite have a level 60 yet).
When you guys do that, can you like... screen record it?
We just finished, actually. But this is about what it's like:

Next event!
I'm glad you're using that image again :)
Yeah, I had too. Looking forward to Cold Stream, it looks like a fun map.
Would if I could. Also, that picture, as well as the "kidney" shot you had up earlier, are hilarious. :D
If pushing this out an hour makes it better for you let me know.
Welcome vdogmr! Does anyone have a preferred character?
If no one else signs up I may pop in.
I don't really have a character preference.
If everyone is ok with me picking Rochelle ill play her.
I don't think I've ever picked a character, I just have it randomize it for me.
I usually play as Rochelle but it doesn't really matter to me, it's aesthetics anyway. I'll even play as Nick :)
ROCHELLE FIGHT!
Ok, to be fair then ill just take luck of the order. :D
Safe to say vdogmr has had the most L4D experience. :)
That was very fun guys thanks. Ill have to sort out my voice issues.
First time all the way through Cold Stream myself. Have you guys played that one before?
I've played through all of L4D2, but only this map and the mall in L4D2. I'm still kinda new to it.
I didn't quite parse that right I think..
That was awesome. I've played Cold Stream once before. Thought the door in the canal was on the left.
Haahaha, that water was fast. Oh well nothing says "learning" like dying.
Yeah sorry, I've played through all of L4D1. That was the issue
:D
had a blast, thanks guys! next time let's up the difficulty and go with gib fest. :)
Whats gib fest?
M60's with bottomless clip and magnum's (magnum's need reloading) :)
Hey that's cool.
That could be really fun.
Set up a date and time. :)
Anyone can create an event, so go ahead and start one up!
I have been hella busy lately but wouldn't mind joining if I can!
Now all I need to consider is what to call my Barb and if it will be a he or she. Hmmmm.
Something to consider to up the ante. Hardcore!
Oh damn. I don't know. Maybe for the second one, I might die quickly. Then again, we start in normal...
Its up to scrypt its his game. After thinking about it more, its not a bad idea.
Since I'll personally probably never use the character afterward, it would spice it up definitely.
Speaking of which, I'm not sure I'll be able to make it, so I'm leaving my name off. If you don't fill it up I'll try to join in.
I will be here, bringing one more as well (Hi Friday!)
See you in a couple of hours!
Hey Friday!
Nice of you to join us Travis, see you all soon.
That was awesome. Next class? :)
that was super fun! nice to get back into D3. We should do Monk next... o.O
Hahahaha, interesting. All Barbs was hella fun because we absolutely demolished everything.
Monk might be a good idea, never played as one before. Or the Wizard. Or Rogue. Or Demon Hunger.
Actually come to think of it, ive only played as the Barb and Witch Doctor.
The only one I haven't played is WD. Four WD's could be fun. ZOMBIE DOGS EVERYWHERE.
But Jon, Rogue? Did you get early access to an expansion I don't have? :) Or were you suggesting a Diablo 1 night? That could also be quite interesting if there's a way to pull the networking off these days.
4 Monks could tear up the minions of hell. Katie and I have been double monking inferno and it's a blast.
Sorry, I meant Demon Hunter. :D I don't know if I could do the original Diablo, you walk so very slowly.
We should have voice chat going next time. through Steam or Skype or something.
I had the overlay going, does voice work over that?
It should, yeah.
Also, you guys need to get a character to 60 for some fun inferno runs!
http://cheerfulghost.com/Travis/events/15
Thought I'd try the opposite. :)
I dig the idea, unknown if I can join but doing regular events on certain games is dope fly.
Feel free to suggest other times! I just put it in the same timeslot as the last one, but we can change that.

Very cool event! I got a chance to play a little this week, and was looking forward to spending a little more time tomorrow. Cant wait to hear what you guys have to say :).
