Joe's Stream.

March 11, 2018

Another good session, reaching level 31 and progressing in Act III to where you have to enter the Lunaris Temple.

And oh what an item I got!:



Looovely attribute boosts!

Buuut anyway, tomorrow I'll be continuing on the questline, eventually possibly maybe hopefully defeating Dominus, provided I don't fuck things up and/or my computer doesn't suddenly restart mid-battle. But we'll see. Still have to get there yet.

Aaaand here's what I played today:

Rush - Caress of Steel
Prince - Self-Titled Second Album

Okay, have to get ready for work. Running late making this blog post. Take care and thanks for reading/watching. And see ya next time. ;]

Earlier this morning, off-stream I played my shadow character some, getting to the Lunaris Temple level 2. Fighting a unique necromancer that nearly killed me (corpse explosions) and a Brutus-flavored unique that had me running around like Benny Hill until he died. Man, I knew I should've recorded this!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good stream today. Had to do some farming since I was out of mats, as well as deal with a ton of strongboxes and corrupted rooms, and boy did it all pay off!



Although I'll probably never use that axe, those gloves pretty much "forced" my duelist into a Frost Blades build now. And I'll probably melee more with my shadow as well.

And I also spent some time on my duelist, making it past Act II and starting up on Act III.

And soooo, on my next session I'll probably keep doing some farming until I get my mat situation to where I want it. After that, I'll get back on the story mode.

And here's all the records I played today:

Pink Floyd - The Endless River
Tom Waits - Swordfishtrombones
Vangelis - Spiral
Frank Zappa - One Size Fits All

Okay, time to call it a night. As always on a night off, I might be on later. But it's pretty random. Some days I don't play at all, and on others I'll play a lot. We'll see. Until then though, take care and thanks for reading/watching. I appreciate it mucho. ;]

Just worked on my duelist some, after completely forgetting that I still had this item in my stash:



So, he's definitely a Frost Blader for sure lol. Otherwise, I just got him to the point where you help Siosa in The Library in Act III. So for next stream, not sure yet. Probably just keep going on my duelist, but I'll just play it by ear.

https://youtu.be/19PW-rs0WZU <<< General Gravicius fight

And for the albums I played they were:

Metallica - Master of Puppets
GWAR - Scumdogs of the Universe

Okay, have to eat breakfast and shower/shave since I have a dentist's appointment in a few hours. Take care and tanks for reading/watching. Seee ya next time. ;]

This time I split the play time between my shadow and my duelist. Both of them now have to fight Dominus. Gulp!

https://youtu.be/I0OOh0RYJnw <<< Piety fight (duelist)
https://youtu.be/_27_QklOV3Y <<< Piety fight (shadow)

So yeah, definitely not looking forward to that one. Let's hope that having capped resistances on both guys (I lost my previous shadow because I didn't) can help me snatch victory from the jaws of defeat!

But aside from that, here's the vinyls I played this time:

Jethro Tull - Stand Up
Devo - New Traditionalists
The Beatles - White Album

Okay, gonna call it a night. I'll probably have to lay down for a bit since apparently 5 hours of sleep wasn't enough. I might also be streaming again later, but we'll see. It's always random on a night off. But until then, take care and thanks for reading/watching. I appreciate it. ;]

Well, was going to split my time between my shadow and duelist classes, but once I got this item on my duelist,:



That extra movement speed made it hard for me to switch to another character. I even fought Dominus and won!

https://youtu.be/8THrdNQEHZo <<< Dominus fight

After that, I worked on Act IV until I got to the Rapture machine thingy. And so tomorrow, I'll probably play my shadow class and hope to hell he doesn't die (he has capped resistances, but you never know). I found some gear for him while running my duelist, so I'll probably spend a lot of time doing logistical stuff first though.

And hoo-leee shit what a boss! I found Calxipher to be harder than Dominus (I'd make a video, but there's third-party music in the background. Youtube would flag it for copyright. >.< )!

https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Calxipher

Buuut that's that. And here's the records I played today:

Fugazi - In on the Kill Taker
The Cure - Disintigration
Grofe - Grand Canyon Suite
Tschaikovsky - Violin Concerto in D, Opus 35

Okay, off for some chow and I'll probably have to get a nap in as well. I might stream again, but like always the jury is out on that. But until then, take care and thanks for reading/watching. ;]

Mostly did some farming on my shadow today. I eventually got up the gumption to fight Dominus though, which I won as well. Revenge!

https://youtu.be/r5RfebWS1Lg <<< Dominus fight

Oh, and for the next week or so, my streams are going to be real spotty. Tomorrow my sister comes up to visit for a week, so I might be spending a lot of time with her. I'll come on when I can, but I can't guarantee anything. We'll see what happens.

Anyways, here's the records I played:

Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick
Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
Steve Miller Band - Fly Like an Eagle

Okay, have to lay down, but I might play some Pinball Arcade later, since my trip to the nearest IRL pinball arcade left me unfulfilled (expensive, unleveled tables, weak defective flippers etc.). Until then though, take care and have a good night. ;]

As stated in my previous post, my sister is in town visiting, so I'm going to have some goofy stream times, like today for example.

Mostly worked on the Act IV questline on my shadow, and got as far as the Kaom waypoint. After that, I started doing the same on my duelist, but got too sleepy to continue (didn't get squat for sleep yesterday, so I'm in major sleep debt right now). So next time I stream I'll work on him.

And for the vinyl records I played they were:

Paul Simon - Graceland
Frank Zappa - Hot Rats
The Washington Post Marching Band - 50 Fabulous March Favorites (side one)

Okay, I'll probably get some breakfast and then get some sleep a bit later on. Not sure when I'll be on again, but until such time, thanks for reading/watching and have a good day. ;]

Didn't do a whole lot this time around. Just got my duelist to the part where you unlock the Daresso waypoint. After that, just farmed around for a while. So, not much to write home about today. Tomorrow I'm having dinner with my family, so I have no idea if/when I'll be streaming tomorrow.

Aside from that, here's what I played today:

Butthole Surfers - Independent Worm Saloon
KISS - Self-Titled Debut
The Washington Post Marching Band - 50 Fabulous March Favorites (the whole thing this time)

Okay, gonna call it a night. Just gonna veg out for a bit, then chances are I might stream again. We'll see. Until then, have a good night and thanks for reading/watching. ;]

Yesterday I was unable to stream, as I came down with food poisoning. But today I managed to though, although I was starting to have trouble staying awake, due to poor sleep.

So for today, I just did some farming around on my shadow and duelist classes. I also worked on the questline for both classes as well. They now have unlocked both the Kaom and the Daresso waypoints. So, for tomorrow, not sure what I'll be doing. I might farm, I might go fight the bosses. Heck, I might even create a Templar character, since I just remembered that I have a couple of unique staves in my stash:



So he'd be off to a great start!

Anyway, here's the vinyls I played today:

Boz Scaggs - Silk Degrees
Bill Justis - Plays 12 More Big Instrumental Hits
Motorhead - Overkill
Roky Erickson - Gremlins Have Pictures

Okay, gonna shut 'er down now. Probably going to have to lay down again, since I basically tossed and turned for 5-6 hours today. I might be on to play some Pinball Arcade later on, provided I can stay awake long enough. But until then, take care and thanks for reading/watching. I appreciate it. ;]

Well, first things first: I lost my shadow character,. . . . again. (note to self: Always use Decoy Totem!).

https://youtu.be/IVBcw-NXI6w <<< Daresso fight

Then, I nearly lost my marauder because I was lost in thought (it's unfamiliar territory!) for a moment.

https://clips.twitch.tv/ObservantSillyHummingbirdRitzMitz

I definitely should've just stayed in bed today. -_-

But aside from that, I mostly just ran around and farmed stuff today, other than attempting the Daresso fight. Got another unique that I'll probably never use since I don't care for casters:



But as for tomorrow, probably just more of the same, more farm-o-rama. It might be just me really beating myself up over this, but the next character I create might just be a softcore SSF, if only to see the rest of the damn game. Because at the rate it's going now all my guys will be dead long before then.

But enough of that. And for the part that always seems to go well no matter what: The vinyl.

Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland
Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother
Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters

Okay, gonna call it a night, especially as I'm pretty much shell-shocked right now. If I stream again, it'll probably be Pinball Arcade, a good way to switch off right now. Until then, take care and thanks a bunch for reading/watching. Mucho apreciado. ;]
