Back again ....
Friday, January 30, 2015 at 12:42PM Ugh. The post Dragon*Con lull went MEGA this time. Such as it is. Time to get the ball rolling again.
Lately I've been popping around. I played a LOT of Skyrim late last year and into this. I've gotten several games along the way but haven't really played much of them. They include Dragon Age Inquisition, Watchdogs, Shadows of Mordor. Lately though its been Saint's Row IV ( National Treasure Edition), which I've gotten nearly half way. 80% of the city events are done, and half of the plot. I expect to go and get the Gat Out of Hell followup after it is done.
For some reason I got back into Diablo III. I got one Season 1 character to 70 in time to get the transmog items on my account, given the Season ends on Feb 3rd. I followed that up by getting two regular characters up to 70, one Wizard and one Witch Doctor. The Witch Doctor is doing well at Master level now, at least he's not dieing unless I get swamped by a bunch of walling or jailing characters. STILL haven't gotten anything to survive on Torment 1.
I've seen a few builds on videos I've tried. The Witch Doctor is doing great, the wizard okay. My Crusader is better. Paragon level is only 31, but not bad for soloing.
Not been doing much of any Champions or other MMOs for over a month. I've been seeing a lot of the upcoming pretenders. I even tried the Alpha of one -- Valiance Online was DISTURBINGLY eerie -- since the area they had was soooo close to Atlas Park. No Atlas statue naturally , but the buildings, roads, tram lines, tunnels, walls, industrial areas, even exit points were the same. Or close enough to make you wonder. Can't help but wonder if this is an Alpha filler or an ACTUAL planned final version. The engine is better by far, but still needs work. I saw a lot of popup of buildings in the distance. I wish them luck.
My Flipboard magazine is exploding lately -- I've gained like 50 viewers a day to it lately.
