Mondaily Holidaily

RL: It's a local holiday, so no working (except a few phone calls with "sorry for calling on a holiday, but..."). Also, I'm trying a new diet I found on monk subforum... I'm just kidding - no I'm not. They were talking about Intermitent Fasting on a thread and I decided to read about it and try it out. Other than that, books.

D3: I need to buy a 800+ DPS weapon and some serious gear in order to have patience to level up my WD. Can't cross the cave of aranea on act 1 hell. Other than that, a few monk runs, to pretending I expect to find upgrades. What is D3 endgame for me? A wait for the next patch . Kiddind, but a little sad with GAH, where I used to buy stuff.

I'm against buying on rmah not because I'm buying digital stuff that will become useless in a couple years , but mainly beacause you're renting stuff in the end (blizzard owns the items you think you own). I have to trick my brain to spend time playing on Kafka's castle. Spending money there, well... Not cool.

Why I compare D3 with Kafka's "The Castle":

Spoiler

Rumor has that the unfinished book (The Castle) would end with (don't remember source. Quoting wikipedia): "legal claim to live in the village was not valid, yet, taking certain auxiliary circumstances into account, he was permitted to live and work there".

I fell the same way about my findings and characters on D3: I "have" them, but blizzard folks are allowed to do whatever they want with them and I can't claim/demand anything. So yes, I like to play D3 because it reminds me a Kafka's book... And, no, I won't pay for stuff while in there. It required an explanation since the end of the book I use in the analogy isn't there...

RL: I was productive at work, despite spending several minutes on the forums several times.. Shot the 365 pic at work, so it was easy to come home and get right into [see below] for a bit. In a few minutes, I'll roll upstairs and hang out with a neighbor for a little big: I'm going to borrow a movie or two to watch tonight/tomorrow instead of finding something on NetFlix or some other online entity. Then I'll have some dinner in front of aforementioned movie (if it's long enough) or aforementioned online tele (if the movie is less than 100 minutes). And then I'll rock out the movie while I [see below].

D3: Move along. Nothing to see here.

D2: rolled a random Amazon in the Random tourney (and yes, I know this is the D3 spf, but there is no daily in the D2 spf). Cleared then Den and fetched the Cold Plains waypoint with her with no difficulty whatsoever. I'll try to take out the Blood Raven, clear the Cold Plains/Cave, and tag the Stony Field waypoint before bed, and if the cats will allow it...

RL: Wife is looking for work, and especially cranky... so I'm hiding out in my man-cave.

D3: Working on getting my HC Wiz up through Act III. Should be fun, but I'm also downloading a game through steam and the decreased bandwidth makes playing HC risky at best. Better just wait.

OVG: X3-Terran conflict is back on my radar and I'm downloading it. Great game... and a sequel is promised to be coming out this year. It's a game some have devoted as much time to as we did to D2. I played, but never married the game.

RL: Work. Did some jobs and am now doing some office work. My son has a baseball game in a couple hours also.

d3: Finally finished act 3 inferno with my monk! Went rather smoothly actually. Probably died 20 times in the whole act, which I don't consider too bad really, and he only had to park about 3 packs that were too tough. Did the entire act solo except that I needed help with Ghom.

OVG: No, these still do not exist.


Edit: Wow, apparently I lost a couple of days somewhere xD

RL3 Had a day off, playing my barb through A1 Hell (with a 163 dps weap ) made it to Leorics manor before real-life duties caught up with me. Looking to complete act 1 and then focus on my DH for a bit, untwinked solo play is not what D3 was made for! Running around Hell with 1600 dmg, 21k life but 38 all resists makes for unhappy endings when your run in to a molten, plauged arcane enchanted elite pack..

OVG: sent my friend a D2 stash, does that count?
