Joe's Stream.

To start with, I decided to play some Squid Ink until GGG decided to finish up their maintenance, after which I mostly just farmed around on my duelist and marauder, nothing too committal. Having trouble getting up the gumption to fight the bosses right now, especially Avarius. Not really what I'd call hardcore. But then again, having to restart from square one because one or all of my guys have died because it's my first time doing these boss fights isn't exactly what I'd call fun either. So, trapped in Limbo it seems. Because of this, I'm considering creating either a ranger or a scion and playing SSF softcore mode (I like marauder/duelist/shadow/Templar classes too much to make them SC), if only to be able to do all the acts and ascendancy trials and give me an idea as to what the fuck I'm supposed to be doing, so I'm not running around like a chicken with its head cut off when I do these fights in hardcore. Not a fan of doing this, but it is what it is. But okay, enough of that now. Here's the records I played today: Black Sabbath - Vol. 4 Motorhead - Self-Titled Debut Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti Okay, time to call it a night. I'll probably have to lay down for a bit and possibly do some more streaming later on as well. But until then, take care and thanks for reading. Have a good night. ;] https://www.twitch.tv/videos/241736519 |

Good session today. I finally said "Screw it!" and did the Daresso and Kaom battles and didn't die. I also did the Piety, the Abomination battle as well and barely beat it! Needless to say, after that my boss cooldown was triggered, and just started farming around after that. https://youtu.be/x5SsueXuVck <<< Daresso fight https://youtu.be/AOeL9Jrk_Cg <<< King Kaom fight https://youtu.be/bV8FfLLMAx4 <<< Piety, the Abomination battle Also, I just went ahead and created a SSF Softcore ranger character, figuring my stream was starting to wind down but still had a little bit of time left. She is, for the most part, going to be the same as my dual-wield duelist. She's a sword-and-boarder whose main attacks are Viper Strike and Frost Blades, supported by bleed and poison damage. https://youtu.be/4JrEVSwCwxE <<< My setup Okay, and that's that on that. And here's the records I played today: Pink Floyd - Ummagumma Prince - For You Richard Pryor - ... is it something I said? Alright, time to call it a night. Take care and thanks for reading/watching, and have a good night. ;] https://www.twitch.tv/videos/242113255 |

I spread the love around a bit in this session, playing my marauder and duelist, as well as my ranger as well. I also created a new Templar too. He's a staff wielder whose focus will be on elemental ailments, especially ignite. Otherwise, not too much else going on. And tomorrow might also be the same as well, just working on my Templar and ranger. :] And here's all the records I played today: Jethro Tull - Benefit The Golden Era of Dixieland Jazz, 1887-1937 The White Stripes - Self-Titled Debut Tchaikovsky - 1812 Overture (and other tunes) Okay, that's gonna do it for me. Just gonna R&R it all night. Thanks for reading/watching, and take care. ;] https://www.twitch.tv/videos/242517191 |

Just worked on my SC ranger, getting her to level 14 and making it to the tail end of Act I (Kill Merveil). https://youtu.be/xVhzF9UAAJg <<< Brutus fight Otherwise, a pretty honky dory session. And as stated before in a previous session: " And moreso now after looking at some of the mechanics of the later boss fights. Way more/harder mechanics than I'd ever seen in Diablo 3 (although admittedly I haven't played the game in over a year)! There's no way, no how, that I'd get it right the first time, not something I'd want to try and pull off in HC. Buuut anyways, here's the vinyl records I played today: Joe Walsh - The Smoker You Drink, the Player You Get Fugazi - Red Medicine Lou Reed - Rock n' Roll Animal Throbbing Gristle - The Second Annual Report Okay, gonna call it a night. I might be streaming later on, though we'll see. Until then, take care and thanks for reading/watching. I appreciate it. ;] https://www.twitch.tv/videos/242962413 |

Went ahead and played my ranger some more, and got past Act I and am now working on the bandit part of Act II (and like always I'm saving Allira and killing the other 2). https://youtu.be/i2PxTu2WMbY <<< Merveil fight And I even found a unique item when rescuing Helena, one that's actually useful!: So for tonight I'll probably start by doing that ascendancy trial that's in The Chamber of Sins since I didn't have time to do it this morning, then continuing on with the questline. Otherwise, good session today. :] https://www.twitch.tv/videos/243046793 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5:56 pm. Completed Act II on my ranger, as well as doing the 2 ascendancy trials that were there. So, Act II is in the bag. Yaaaay! https://youtu.be/VSZfbr-zmYo <<< Vaal Oversoul fight And for Act III I progressed up to the sewers, as well as doing one of the ascendancy trials, before having to shut down since I only got 3 hours of sleep today. So, I'll just keep plugging away on the storyline next time I'm on. Lookin' good so far! And here's all the records I played this time: Jethro Tull - This Was Moody Blues - On the Threshold of a Dream Metallica - Kill 'em All Kraftwerk - Radio-Activity Vangelis - Opera Sauvage Okay, shuttin' 'er down for the night. As always, thanks for reading/watching. Take care and have a good night. ;] https://www.twitch.tv/videos/243258128 |

" Thanks dude. ;] Got to play some Torchlight 2 in this session - normally a game I don't stream as it's my "switch off" game (plus, I use console cheats, which would probably get me shunned within the gaming community, despite the fact that I play SSF Hardcore in PoE. :\ ) - since they decided to do maintenance right when I started streaming. >.< But a good productive session afterwards. I got as far in Act 3 as killing General Gravicius and completing all the ascendancy trials. https://youtu.be/RXixbAoBFcQ <<< General Gravicius battle So for tomorrow - you guessed it! - I'll be taking on The Labyrinth. But I may not get that far, as my work week has started back up, and I'll only be able to stream 1-2 hours at a time now. So, that's the agenda. And here's the records I played today: Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced? Richard Pryor - That [Removed by Support]'s Crazy Tom Lehrer - That Was the Year That Was Moody Blues - In Search of the Lost Chord The Residents - Meet The Residents Alrighty! Time to call it a night and veg out. I might stream later, but the jury is out on that (only 3 hours of sleep again. Hard to stay awake right now :[ ) Until then, take care and thanks for watching/reading. Mucho appreciated. ;] https://www.twitch.tv/videos/243663970 Last edited by Ben_GGG on Mar 28, 2018, 1:34:03 AM

Good session today, if stressful. Did The Labyrinth for the first time. Definitely not a cakewalk, that's for sure. This will probably be something that I'll do only on my nights off since I basically have set to aside at least an hour for this. Otherwise, my ranger is now a:  If only for the poison buff (had to make a call between pathfinder's poison and raider's Onslaught). So, tomorrow I'll just continue on the storyline then. And for what I played today it was: Prince - Self-Titled Second Album Tom Waits - Swordfishtrombones Okay, gotta get ready for work. Running late making this blog post. Take care and thanks for reading/watching. ;] https://www.twitch.tv/videos/244420741 Last edited by Joe__Schmoe on Mar 29, 2018, 10:06:57 PM

Just continued on the storyline on my ranger, completing Act III and just getting into Act IV (defeating Voll) https://youtu.be/QoBwJr_AXBc <<< Piety and Dominus fights Also!: I recently figured out how to combine video clips into one video, saving me some time and effort, although I'm still trying to find a "fade" option, in order to make the transition from one clip into another more smoother though. It's a work in progress. With that, here's all 3 Izaro fights I did when I did The Labyrinth for the very first time. https://youtu.be/1nf8sO1Vr_Q <<< Izaro fights. So, tomorrow, I'll probably just keep on keeping on doing the Act IV questline. Probably work on my video editing stuff as well, see if I can find a "transitions" option. If only I found out about this sooner. :[ Oh, and before I forget, here's the records I played today: Frank Zappa - One Size Fits All Devo - New Traditionalists Okay, have to get ready for work now. Ran late making and uploading videos and making this blog post. As always, thanks for reading/watching. It's never ever taken for granted! ;] https://www.twitch.tv/videos/244824227 |

Bad session today. >:[ Got to play some Torchlight 2 again, since apparently GGG likes to do maintenance right when I start streaming. Game decided to crash as well just before getting to the Crystal Veins waypoint, meaning I have to start all the way over again. Then I was wetodid and forgot to move my webcam back after playing TL2 to where it normally goes, so all my abilities and anything else important that's in the lower-right corner got blocked off. I should've just stayed in bed. >.< Otherwise, I just worked on the Act IV questline, and made it to the Rapture device. Not much else to say otherwise this time. Aaaaand it'll be more of the same tomorrow, just keep plugging away on the questline. And here's the vinyls I played today: Heart - Dreamboat Annie Stan Getz - With Laurindo Almeida Tschaikovsky - Violin Concerto in D, Opus #35 Okay, have to get ready for work. Thanks for reading/watching, and have a good night. ;] https://www.twitch.tv/videos/245216416 Last edited by Joe__Schmoe on Mar 31, 2018, 9:48:58 PM
