Freezing Wednesdaily

Woke up to a nice -6 degrees Celsius today, so winter is definitely here. Still no snow:( Sun is shining and all in all a beautiful day.


RL: Work as usual. Dinner at my brother`s place and trying some of the beers for Christmas. The usual stuff we do every year:)

D2: Now I know how it is to lose high runes in D2. My Blizz sorc had an unfortunate encounter with dolls in the Throne Room when I tried to compare her run times to my Blova. Call to Arms and Hoto lost in the world of deeds:( I might see how the Blova does without CtA on switch tonight, but I`m a little afraid that might be pushing my luck after a couple of beers:) I`m definitely not going back to LK to hunt for runes to make replacements, so it`s questing time for thomh.
 
Re: Freezing Wednesdaily

@thomh: isn't it possible to get items back by using atma?? If not, hc sucks :) lol

RL: not much. usual day. a lot of exams and i need to study which i'm not intend to

d2: nope, not today. Dont feeling.
 
Re: Freezing Wednesdaily

@Whitejack: It isn`t allowed on this forum:) I only use GoMule anyways and delete characters at once when they die to avoid that temptation. I probably have to buy a new mouse, as my current one hit the wall pretty hard a couple of seconds after the accident:) HC doesn`t suck, it`s just me who doesn`t know how to play:wink:

I got along before I got CtA and will probably get along now as well.
 
Re: Freezing Wednesdaily

Sorry to hear about your deeds, Thomh...hope you have better luck next time when you got yourself a new CtA!

RL: About to go shopping with my brother - need a coat, jeans, some jumpers and some Christmas presents. Also, I should try to work on my dissertation...

D2: Not today.

hmm i'm very sorry for your items than i can barely stay alive with my CtA. so i think if you hc players dont know how to play i'm a real noob :)

i hope you could get your CtA soon.


 
Re: Freezing Wednesdaily

RL: I just got that tingly feeling all over realizing the quarter is just about over. There it is again... ahh. Maybe it's the coffee... who knows. No class today, but I'll be going in to tidy up the office and get ready for final exams.

D2: Taking the Amazon (Plague Jav + toughened up valk) through Act I hell, currently running (well... walking...) countess. Hoping for runes to make the Trapazin a Smoke suit... her resists are all red. No really interesting drops... not even any craftable elites.
 
Re: Freezing Wednesdaily

RL: Haven't updated you guys for awhile now about my trip here in Iran. Well i have finished with the Seismic Camp. That was a good experience and i learnt a lot about the logistics that goes on there. I was pleased to leave it behind though. Being in desert for 16 days is not fun at all! I was glad to finally return to civilization in Tehran. After a few days we headed to Mashad to see my uncle who i have a close relation with. It was great meeting up with him again. We stayed there for 3 days and then returned back to Tehran. Now i am just waiting until we leave on Friday, early morning. I can't wait to get back in Melbourne! 1 month away from home is too long for me!

D2: Progress with my Certain Death druid. Update to come in the tournament thread.
 
Re: Freezing Wednesdaily

Sorry to hear about your deeds, Thomh.

Glad to hear things are going so well for you Morathi.

RL: Confused a dentist's appointment, so went to the gym and sauna instead. I have a few chores to do, but my rent and bill money went out yesterday, so I'm just having a few afternoon beers and playing OVG.

D2; Hopefully some HC group MP later, or some 1.09 NM Meph running for equipment to kill Hell Duriel.

OVG: Half-Life: Source and Modern Warfare 2.
 
Re: Freezing Wednesdaily

RL: Still trying to wake up. Other than that, waiting to see about my trip and learning to frame in the downtime. Framing doesn't seem to be that hard, it just seems to be easy to mess up a job quick.

D2: Hit the 400 Meph kill mark with my sorc, almost all of the gears been upgraded. Over all though the drops have been pretty pedestrian. Double isenhart chest drops anyone?
 
Re: Freezing Wednesdaily

RL: woke up, futzed around, shower/shave, made coffee.

Now: Coffee & Foruming

Upcoming: Job Hunt, maybe some work on the novel (currently at ~6pm and 55K words: only 5 or 6 more hours to go, novel time, so maybe another 30K or so), food (x2), some Hulu, probably some beer (but likely not a huge amount), some reading, and that's about it.

I've been thinking about a new RL project, probably a research and writing thing of some sort, involving a full rework and expansion of my Thesis, and perhaps a collaboration with one of my neighbors. It's still in the conceptualization phase, but I'm getting closer, and will probably begin preliminary work (ie. rough outline and gathering of initial source materials) today. Woo. I hope I can apply the energy of the NaNo to a new (and more intellectually rigorous) project, and maybe pull myself up out of this funk and regain a bit of self confidence. Wish me luck.

D2: meh.

Sorry to hear it. As I said elsewhere, I'm kind of relieved that I've never found or made anything crazy in Hardcore, as everything is consigned to the void in the end.

D2: Made Guardian #2 late last night/early this morning. Will make thread when I'm home for the day and not just popping in, and roll up my next (likely failed, given history) attempt tonight. I had such fun killing LIs with Strafe (pew pew pew) that I think I'll try a bowazon for kicks. My first two characters were made for LK and the Pits, should be fun to have one I can just retire or kill off doing something stupid when she's done.

ETA: Scratch that. I just rolled an insanely good LK map. Time to hunt some roonz.

@Anaesthesia: I'll post up my LK map once I get my main rig back up, but I know that I love it. It's 8-9 total tele's to get all 6 chests, 2 armour racks (jawbone cap and heraldic shields), the 2 weapon racks (kris and some other sucky weapon), 3-5 other clickables (logs, people, etc... this one is kinda variable), and it even has a well right next to the first hut in case I got hurt last run. Not to mention it's circular. I have definitely abused it :).

D2: My main computer is DoA right now, and I don't have my toons backed up, so I've decided to start up HC. I've currently got a level 49 meteorb that I'm just getting ready to take into NM. Hopefully I can get her to Meph for some farming tonight.

RL: (I know this is a little backwards :D) I ordered a power-supply tester and I'm really hoping it gets here by Friday. I've got finals next week, so this weekend is when I'd like to figure out what's wrong with my computer and send the correct parts off for RMA.

It's freezing here too. We finally got some snow, which is nice. We're going to be in the negatives the rest of the week; not looking forward to walking to class.

OVG: I just bought Dragon Age: Origins for the PC, but until my gaming rig is back up and running, none of that. I'll probably just stick with D2 for wind-down time, but I might play some MLB: The Show '09 or Fallout 3 on the PS3. Maybe even break out the NES, SNES, and 64 (the Wii is already out) and do a Zelda run-through from The Legend of Zelda through Twilight Princess.
 
Re: Freezing Wednesdaily

mattinm: Trust me, this map will be beaten, tied, drained of fluids, and buried in a shallow grave. I've used all three of that char's socket quests, so it won't be rerolled until I'm completely burnt out on LK.

omgwtf: Thanks. I have my greedy eye on Chains of Honor, and one of these days I'll decide that I want it enough to run LK potentially 20k+ times. (Hey, I'm 3/4 of the way there already; got the Dol, Ist, and two Puls I'm sure I could bother to cube. Just one rune to go :D )

Of course, I tell the game I'm just looking for charms. It seems not to be fooling it, unfortunately.
