No Man’s Sky: Repair Fail

It turns out I am indeed an idiot when it comes to fixing things. I was unable to figure out how to fix the space ship I found due to it wasn’t obvious to me that I had to hit the “Accept” button at the bottom of the screen to actually change ships.

Instead I decided to go out and work on getting a Hyper Drive to you know do more space stuff. Turns out there are now even more creatures out to kill me on this planet. In addition to the headcrabs, I now have praying mantises, and what look like mountain goats now after my head…yay…

However, I may put my journey back into space on the back burner now that I know how to fix and repair ships now. Guess I got to now find that ship again…without a map. Something tells me this may take awhile.

No Man’s Sky: Onward to Explore Everything!

I decided that I wanted to try and get myself a new ship. However, every ship I came a crossed cost way too much and I quickly scrapped that idea after nearly getting killed by headcrabs. Well I was running around trying to find a cheaper ship, I was making a lot of headway with this Alien race called the Korvax and they actually started liking me. I was picking up quite a few words from their language and I decided why not try to help them out some.

The first thing I did was I decided to try and find some Platinum for this one guy, but I ended up finding a weird device which showed a Monolith on the map. Figured, hey this can’t be that bad! Let’s check it out! Turns out it was a good thing and I got more favor with their race and learned more words.

I found the Platinum I needed, but I ran into another problem. I couldn’t find my way back to the base I was at in order to give the guy the stuff. I did end up finding a few more waypoints and another one of these weird devices that this time showed my a location of a crashed ship. I once again set out, this time figuring I would be helping some Korvax guy fix his ship and get some more props from their race.

Well to my surprise the poor pilot was dead and left his pretty broken down ship behind. Which to my delight, I can fix. Looks like I found my new ride.


Diablo 3 Season 7: Surviving the Grifts

Due to I am hitting the grinding phase of Diablo 3 I figure it would be best to only stream the interesting stuff and do the boring stuff offline. Depending on how boring it is I may not even blog about it, but I shall play it by ear. So, I will be streaming Diablo 3 less, but I plan on saving all legendaries, blood shards and death breaths for the stream. I will stream once I hit a full stash tab of legendaries or I hit my blood shard cap. I will be starting each stream with a legendary item reveal, blood shard gambling and cubing. Those out there who can’t get enough gambling make sure to check out my stream as soon as it starts.

This time, I actually had a viewer pop into the stream which was a nice change from just talking to myself. I was able to complete Grift 45 (Torment 10) barely, which I think is a pretty nice accomplishment. I only recorded paragon levels 155 - 180, but I did some farming before hand to get some more legendaries and blood shards for the stream. I am able to do T8 pretty well now.


In addition, well I was farming I came a crossed one of those special treasure goblins that drop pets. I think my new pet suits my Witch Doctor very nicely.


Weekly Pokemon Go Update

This week I actually had quite a shift in my top Pokemon. I ended up with quite a few higher level common Pokemon that I decided I would just evolve to get some higher CP Pokemon. I did get another Flareon as well who even beat out my Vaporeon in CP.


I was able to do quite a bit of leveling up as well due to I walked every day to work this week. This allowed me wrack up the stardust and get the one badge I really am looking forward to getting gold. 


For those of us in the United States, 100 kilometers is 62.1371 miles and yes I did walk all of it. Goes to show that gaming is a wonderful way to encourage exercise.

Summoners War: This Month Dark Scroll

Looks like I got lucky with my Light Dark Scroll this month. Based on the user rating this guy is pretty good.


No Man’s Sky: Aliens!

After last failure of crashing my space ship so badly it killed both the game and my recording software, I decided to switch recording formats in order to try and make sure the recording is preserved when something like that occurs. This time, I didn’t have to worry about it since I was finally able to land on my first new planet without everything crashing (including my ship). What was even better was the planet wasn’t a complete death trap. Sure the local headcrab like things were not too happy for me landing on top of them, but I could actually run around without fear of dying.

I ended up spending most of the time just flying from point A to point B due to I was trying to pay attention to what the game was leading me to. In this case, it was leading me to my first sentient Alien lifeforms which I could interact with. I was actually pretty happy about this since my inventory space was running pretty low and I needed to sell stuff. I even was able to buy a nicer multi-tool from them.

Diablo 3: Farming Progress

I decided to not stream Diablo 3 today since I figure it was better to spend my time farming which is kind of boring to watch and also try to commentate on. However, I made sure to save all the blood shards, death breath, and legendaries for the stream. Sadly, the legendaries are not anything to party about, but hey that is the RNG making sure I work for everything I get.
