Very cool video. I really enjoy gameplay videos where the player explains their process, especially games that cater to deeper levels of strategy (e.g. Hearthstone). Thanks for making these!

On a selfish note, the alpha turned out really well on the banner image, which I'm also thankful for :D.

At the time (I can't remember the date, but it must have been in early 2013, though it seems it should be earlier...), I was searching the web for sites that allowed you to catalog your game library, but also had a community. I stumbled on this budding site called Cheerful Ghost (I'm pretty sure it was through a Google search), and loved how clean and simple it was. Cool people that loved games, and a cool place to talk about that shared interest. I jumped in headlong, maybe even a little too headstrong, but you guys accepted me anyway, and for that I'm thankful.

It was just brought to my attention that I actually found this site through Reddit. I've never been a frequent Reddit user, so I probably Google searched, landed on Reddit, then linked from there. I forget things :)

I'm not sure when it was exactly (although I could check my history) I found out about Cheerful Ghost because of Travis. I don't think I got very involved until that one time I was looking for recommendations of a good game to play. I posted in the Video Game Nerds group on Facebook asking for recommendations and Travis (and possibly Jon) replied with something like "...one of us" and suggested Terraria. While I didn't jump on that train immediately, I did eventually and I fell in love with it. I believe that was when I became a regular here. I've been enjoying being part of a great community of gamers. I enjoy writing and gaming, so this site is just really right for me.

So, Happy Birthday Cheerful Ghost!!!! I also want to take a moment to thank you guys (again) for this awesome community. I've visited other gaming communities and I've seen just how different Cheerful Ghost is. This is quite frequently a very positive gaming community. People here don't spew a lot of negativity, hate, and other drama that you see elsewhere. And, even though the occasional typo occurs, people here obviously know how to spell and have a good grasp on the English language. So, thanks again!!!

@Scrypt, awesome job on the pic, man!!!!

That Nefarian battle is intense!

So, it's not exactly a glorified version of Campaign Mode? I've played a hell of a lot of that in the last year and feel like I'm done with Campaign mode for a long time.

I thought it was cool that you mentioned in the latest roundtable that you jumped in with a Witch Doctor. I was thinking of checking out the new-to-me stuff and the Witch Doctor was probably the first that came to mind. I enjoyed that class, perhaps mostly because of the summons.

Also, is a Season played alone or with others?

Awesome sauce! Well, I'm not sure how I feel about playing with strangers, but with friends, that would be sweet! How many others do you normally play with? You said you're playing with a Witch Doctor, how many other Witch Doctors do you play with? Would it be too weird to play with another (me)?

So, it kind of works like Adventure Mode's bounties and Nephalem Rifts? Campaign Mode had objectives, but it was basically story driven and since I've been through the story very many times already, I'm not interested in repeating it any time soon. If or when a new expansion comes, I hope that I could bypass the current bits of Campaign Mode that we have.

How many objectives are there? Do you finish all of them with one character and come back with another for more?

Sorry to bombard you with questions about it, but you have more experience with Seasons than anyone else I know and I haven't done any "research" into them. I just know they go for a few months, take a break, release a patch, and come back again. I also know you can get various items, but aside from that and what you've posted here, I know nothing else.

I do enjoy playing games with you guys. I enjoyed that one time you joined me while I was playing. I look forward to playing more games with you all.

Oh and I like that they've made it so pets are actually useful instead of just cosmetic. I have an astral dog, so it'd be cool to get in and see what it can do for me. Also, being able to get more storage space is always helpful. I got all that I could before the latest patch and had so much extra stuff, I ended up storing them on other characters.
