I am super-James-Brown-excited for this years PAX Prime, what with this being a new console launch year. Looking forward to meeting everyone from the site that can make it!

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 08/01/2013 at 03:25am

Me too. Thanks for reminding me, I nearly forgot about the new console craze. Should be interesting. How long will you stand in line to play the PS4?

scrypt Supporter wrote on 08/01/2013 at 07:38am

For that, as long as it takes :). I'll probably line up for that first thing, day one. I was at E3 when the Vita launched, and the line went fairly quickly. I'm sure they'll have plenty of consoles there.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 08/01/2013 at 05:37pm

Interesting. Well maybe we should meet, because I don't mind standing in a few long lines and checking out the PS4 might be worth it.

scrypt Supporter wrote on 08/02/2013 at 01:22am

That will probably be the one line that I'll dump patience into, especially if Destiny is playable. I want to see how that whole combination feels: a Bungie game on a Sony system, with the new DualShock 4. If an FPS feel good with that controller then I'll be supremely satisfied. I never liked the DualShock 3 with FPSs, just felt off for me, but felt right with everything else.

Th rest of my time will likely be bumming around the Indie corner, and the table top area. I want to finally play a game of D & D!

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 08/02/2013 at 02:18am

I think you want to see most of what I do, so if you want a line mate, count me in.

I haven't played a proper pen and paper D&D session yet. Somehow, it kind of scares me in a totally irrational way.

scrypt Supporter wrote on 08/02/2013 at 11:32pm

Hey, I have a bead on an extra Monday pass. Are you still interested?

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 08/03/2013 at 12:17am

No, I think the weekend will be enough. Thanks though.

@scrypt Still have that bead?

scrypt Supporter wrote on 08/14/2013 at 04:13pm

Unfortunately not, bean. My friend ended up selling on eBay. I'll ask around though. I heard rumor that there was one in our group that might have to leave early in the weekend for work. If there is anything there, I'll let you know.

beansmyname Supporter wrote on 08/16/2013 at 08:12pm

@scrypt thanks. Really appreciate it.

Let's continue on from where we left off last time. Pick your character, which ever you'd like to play. Something close to level 15 would be best.

The time isn't set in stone, so feel free to suggest we do it earlier since it's Saturday and we don't have work to deal with.

Increased monster power sounds good to me. How do you set that?

scrypt Supporter wrote on 06/05/2013 at 05:31am

MP1 sounds cool. Didn't even know you could do such things. Probably would know that, if I actually played the game more ;).

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/05/2013 at 05:39am

Travis is magic.

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 06/05/2013 at 12:53pm

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.

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/05/2013 at 06:12pm

This time works for me, let me know when its locked in and ill add it to my calendar.

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/08/2013 at 03:35am

7pm is the time. I think ill go ... BARB! Or Monk? I think Barb.

scrypt Supporter wrote on 06/09/2013 at 05:20am

So much better with sound! Thanks guys/gal, it was fun :)

scrypt Supporter wrote on 06/09/2013 at 05:21am

(would be more fun with all the voices though!)

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 06/09/2013 at 05:37am

Fun as always. Same time next week? Or do you want to try to get in a little earlier?

scrypt Supporter wrote on 06/09/2013 at 05:48am

Earlier works for me, especially on Saturday.

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/09/2013 at 09:12pm

Ill hit you both up offline to discuss Saturday.

I am fairly new at the game, so keep that in mind :D

Awesome, this should be epic.

What characters do you typically play?

vdogmr25 wrote on 06/02/2013 at 03:06am

Haven't played a whole lot, but I enjoy Voltar and Gnaw so far.

BR Supporter wrote on 06/02/2013 at 04:29am

I may be able to do this. I'll find out on Tuesday when I get my work schedule.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/02/2013 at 05:10am

Awesome, i hope you can.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/02/2013 at 05:11am

Ive been playing as Lone Star and Gnaw. Both reallt good for different reasons.

BR Supporter wrote on 06/02/2013 at 07:48pm

I've been playing Genji and skolldir. They are my favorite characters to play and I've never seen anyone else play Genji.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/03/2013 at 08:08pm

I haven't unlocked those yet, I still need to play a bit more for those.

BR Supporter wrote on 06/03/2013 at 10:25pm

I'm sorry but I'm not going to be able to play that night. I have to work.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/03/2013 at 10:51pm

Ah that sucks, maybe another time then!

beansmyname Supporter wrote on 06/05/2013 at 04:37am

If you ever get one running on a Monday or Tuesday, I'm down. Got this "free" on PS+ last year and didn't care for it. Played it on Steam from the latest Humble Bundle and enjoyed it a lot.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/08/2013 at 03:34am

That was great guys, thanks.

Clearly vdogmr25 was the MVP. Very fun. Learned a few tricks about team laneing and when to back off and push. That said the last level of bots we were at were kind of rolling me.

scrypt Supporter wrote on 06/08/2013 at 03:39am

Super bummed I wasn't there. Held up at work. Busier than it should have been for a Friday. Really sorry, guys!

Picking this up on day one. If there is a way I can share my username with you in game so we can try out a match I will share it with you all so we can play a game that night if we want.

Chowda wrote on 05/28/2013 at 04:35pm

This actually looks pretty cool. I'll pick it up based on the trailer and the fact it's made by mojang!

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 05/28/2013 at 04:53pm

Totally. Plus. They need the money.

I got my profile setup and play a game over lunch. Its fun.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/04/2013 at 01:01am

So far played a few matches after work and I really dig it. Still building up a strategy that beats Easy most of the time. That said, playing against even is pretty fair as far as decks go, they just employ some dumb strategy. Apparently I do too, as I win about 70% of the time.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/04/2013 at 01:01am

Not sure how you add people to your friends list in game to challenge.

scrypt Supporter wrote on 06/04/2013 at 01:04am

30 more minutes and I'll be on my way home to download. This day is dragging like a wet sack of clothes.

scrypt Supporter wrote on 06/04/2013 at 04:15am

I've been trying to buy this all evening, but the store won't load :(. Guess they're doing really well!

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/04/2013 at 04:16am

Wow. Yeah i bet. :D

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/04/2013 at 05:33am

After playing quite a few matches I really like the game. It seems saving up for the scrolls pack at 1000 gold is the way to go as opposed to getting a random card at a time.

What do you guys think of Scrolls?

Chowda wrote on 06/04/2013 at 05:06pm

I think it's fun, I like it so far. I'm sad there appears to be no friending system. I also saved up and bought the 1000 gold pack as well.

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 05/28/2013 at 05:07pm

I'd like to do Witch Doctor, I could also do Wizard (my Wizard is barely existent at this point).

jdodson Admin wrote on 05/28/2013 at 05:28pm

I pick ze Monk.

I am ok with starting again. Even if we must play the Spider level again :D

Friday wrote on 05/30/2013 at 03:08am

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...?

jdodson Admin wrote on 05/30/2013 at 04:48am

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.

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 05/30/2013 at 02:12pm

Barb opens up a lot when you get whirlwind. It's so fun, if a bit overpowered. Some people call it spin-to-win. :)

Friday wrote on 06/01/2013 at 03:52am

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.

scrypt Supporter wrote on 06/01/2013 at 04:36am

I have one of each character class, but nothing higher than level 22. I'll go with the flow, and pick something supportive :).

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/01/2013 at 06:19am

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.

scrypt Supporter wrote on 06/01/2013 at 06:36am

A change of scenery would be nice, but I'm up for anything.

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 06/01/2013 at 08:53pm

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.

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 06/01/2013 at 08:56pm

Diablo needs a level sync like some MMO's have so you don't have to worry about that crap! :)

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/01/2013 at 11:54pm

Since no one else will decide then lets do act I again with fresh characters.

TAKE THAT EVERYONE!

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/01/2013 at 11:54pm

Oh and I still get Monk.

ZING!

scrypt Supporter wrote on 06/02/2013 at 12:07am

My status is pending. Transformer blew just down the road and the whole block is without power. I'll keep you posted.

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/02/2013 at 12:09am

Damn. Hoping for the best.

scrypt Supporter wrote on 06/02/2013 at 12:11am

Maybe I can get it running on my iPhone...

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/02/2013 at 12:11am

Yeah totally, let me know how that works out. Its just a point and click game anyway, prob work with touch.

scrypt Supporter wrote on 06/02/2013 at 01:32am

Still nothing :(

that was a lot of fun! Thanks everyone :)

scrypt Supporter wrote on 06/02/2013 at 05:04am

so glad you implemented the event system!!

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 06/02/2013 at 05:04am

Glad you got your power back on! :)

So next week, Act 2, whatever class you want?

scrypt Supporter wrote on 06/02/2013 at 05:06am

I'm totally down!

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/02/2013 at 05:10am

Sounds good Travis. And im glad i made it too :D

Friday wrote on 06/02/2013 at 05:28am

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! :)

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 06/02/2013 at 05:36am

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.

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/02/2013 at 04:55pm

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:

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!

jdodson Admin wrote on 05/25/2013 at 05:06am

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.

Travis Admin wrote on 05/25/2013 at 05:11am

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.

Travis Admin wrote on 05/26/2013 at 11:26pm

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? :)

scrypt Supporter Post Author wrote on 05/27/2013 at 04:36am

that was super fun! nice to get back into D3. We should do Monk next... o.O

jdodson Admin wrote on 05/27/2013 at 04:37am

Hahahaha, interesting. All Barbs was hella fun because we absolutely demolished everything.

jdodson Admin wrote on 05/27/2013 at 04:38am

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.

Travis Admin wrote on 05/27/2013 at 04:57am

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.

Travis Admin wrote on 05/27/2013 at 04:57am

4 Monks could tear up the minions of hell. Katie and I have been double monking inferno and it's a blast.

jdodson Admin wrote on 05/27/2013 at 05:00am

Sorry, I meant Demon Hunter. :D I don't know if I could do the original Diablo, you walk so very slowly.

scrypt Supporter Post Author wrote on 05/27/2013 at 05:02am

Feel free to suggest other times! I just put it in the same timeslot as the last one, but we can change that.
