Dead Space: No One Listens to the Engineer

Being that it is Halloween weekend, I figure I would change things up a bit and play something a bit more on the scary end of things. I searched through my steam library for games I have yet to play and realized I have not played Dead Space yet.

For full disclosure, I did see playthroughs of the game in the past, but I can’t remember where every jump scare is. All I can say is I think I have been corrupted by my years of horror movie watching and thus I was able to predict where a lot of them were going to occur anyway. Sorry, my reactions are not as stellar as say other lets players. If you are looking for a scream fest this isn’t going to be it.

Now for the game! Clearly, the first lesson of the game was no one listens to the Engineer and that quickly everyone abandons you to fix everything (just like real life!). I did get stuck twice during the game.  Once during the tutorial, because I exited out of the prompt without looking at what buttons I was suppose to hit in order to complete the task. The second time was with clearing the tram. Maybe I am just an idiot, but that wasn’t very clear to me at all what I was suppose to do.  It’s most likely I’m an idiot since  I seemed to have blown up our only way off the Ishimura.

Diablo 3 Season 8: Completing Chapters

Now that I am finally migraine free after three days of misery, time to show the demons of the Buring Hells who is boss…and probably die several times well doing so. Today’s mission was to actually get as many of the Season Journey chapters completed. I was able to complete the first two and make a little bit of progress on Chapter 3.  Hopefully, now that my gear is improving and I have the first pieces of the Uliana things will go faster. At the very least I can say I am very entertained by the fact I can now make things explode.

Weekly Pokemon Go Update

A day late, but here is the Pokemon Go update for this week! Managed to catch quite a few new things this week and my top Pokemon actually shifted around quite a bit due to Evolvefest the other day.

Let’s start out with some very nice hatches this week.

I was very surprised to get a Snorlax from an egg. I honestly think it was Pokemon Go way of mocking me for not running this weekend. Now on to my only catch of the week.

Last but not least here is the updated top Pokemon.

Diablo 3 Season 8: Finally Level 70

Levels keep coming fast as Qwerty makes her way to level 70. For some reason, it seems like she is leveling much quicker than my Witch Doctor last season. It could be just due to Witch Doctors are harder to level early on or maybe Monks are just better like that. Same old rifts, so nothing to call home about. Getting Marque Gems now and  Goblins are showing up pretty regularly which is nice considering I’m still broke.

I ended up growing a bit impatient trying to get to 70 and ended up trying to do Expert. It seems that was a bad idea since the RNG decided that it would be a wonderful idea to start stacking Unique packs right on top of each other after hearing me complain about the lack of Unique packs. Due to this reason I ended up going b ack to Hard for the rest of the time.

I did finally hit level 70 which means now the real game begins! Now the important question is what build to go with.

Pokemon Go Lucky Egg Evolvefest

After getting yet another warning that I was out of Pokemon storage I decided that it was time to do some storage cleaning and use my last Lucky Egg. This of course means I need to start evolving lots of things in order to get the most experience I can out of my 30 minutes. I already had a bunch of Pidgeys and Weedles ready to go, but I also had some Pokemon I was waiting to evolve just for this reason. I figure I would go ahead and share them. They are in no particular order.

(As an FYI, it’s CP is 1026)

 After all of this evolving, I did manage to finally hit level 24. Let the party commence! No new Lucky Egg though. :(

Diablo Season 8: Day 2

I am continuing my quest to get to 70 as a Monk in Season 8! With the beginning of every season, there is always the same problem. Not enough Gold. Even getting enough money to remove your gems from your equipment becomes a challenge till you can start running higher level stuff.

To my surprise, I was getting a lot of goblin packs and I was thinking “Wow I should be able to get quite a bit of gold!”. Sadly for me, none of them were the yellow goblins which drop more gold and I still found myself broke as I was before.

Though the boredom that comes with running normal rifts over and over again was broken with something I haven’t seen in a while. A cow rift! This is I think only the second time I have ever seen this rift and it was a welcome break to the monotony of the same rifts over and over again.

Though I didn’t get a Staff of Herding at the end of the rift, I did get something called a Man Prodder which is a unique Polearm transmog. I think it was a nice touch considering how rare the rift is. After that, it was same old same old rifts and I ended at 58. Only 12 levels to go until the real game starts!

At the end of the evening though I was a bit surprised to find Qwerty looking much better than when she did yesterday since usually the higher the level the crazier they look. No need to call the fashion police today.

Diablo 3 Season 8: It Begins!

After a week off of Diablo 3, Season 8 has begun and with that a new character gets to take on run to do as high of Grifts as possible. This time I decided to go with a Monk, but the hardest question was which Monk? You see I have 3 Monks and each have names I love. So it was a really hard choice to pick between the three.

In the end I decided to go with my Monk that actually means quite a bit to me, Qwerty. You see Qwerty was named after my first cat I had bought with my own money and had total responsibility for. Sadly she passed away at the age of 6 this past July from what was likely cancer. She now lives on in Diablo as a Monk which really represents her attitude and character.

I made quite a bit of progress in the first hour, but with a lot of dying due to I set the difficulty too high and ended up having to lower it. I found my first legendary of the season at level 9 and managed to make it to level 19 by the time I needed to take a break.

Now that I set the difficulty down to Hard and getting some better equipment under my belt things are going much smoother. At this point in the game, I think it is better to just get rifts done quickly than try to push the difficulty for only a small gain in experience. More legendaries are dropping which is always nice and with some nice speed skills it is making it easier to just avoid trash and go right for the uniques.  Still a long way to go, but progress is progress!

At the end, as always I decided to take a screenshot of my character’s current look. I think someone needs to call the fashion police cause it is already looking pretty crazy.
