[OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

Good morning people. Apparently a messed up sleeping rythm doesn't mix well with an early morning job interview. Been trying to sleep now since around 11.30 pm last night, and it's 5 am now. Haven't left my bed for a minute during that time, no tv, no playing games on the phone either. Just me and my own thoughts, and I just couldn't make myself fall asleep. -.-


I'm not sure if there even will be any insta kill monsters. I think I've read some time back (which might not be true anymore) that they're trying to avoid those insta death monsters.

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

I would guess they would try to avoid them, but some of them in D2 were unintentional.

I find that if I try to go to bed when I'm not ready to sleep or not tired that I will struggle all night to sleep, but if I make sure I'm sleepy before I get in bed I'll do alright.

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

Yea it's the same here. Problem is I wouldn't have gotten tired until like 3-4 am, which wouldn't have been enough sleep. So tried to force myself to sleep and failed obviously. Just playing a bit of SC2 now before I take a shower and prepare for the interview some more.

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

Yea, that sucks

Oh well, I'm sure you'll be just fine anyways.

Good luck on the interview :nod:

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

norm->hell i doubt we will find an insta kill monster, but in inferno with the right rare mods a pack could easily kill people in a few seconds.

Bashiok even alluded to it, saying that a teleporting molten nightmarish elite spawned and destroyed them in a few seconds, also with inferno with 4 players the minute 1 player dies there is a far higher chance you will all die, as you will now take 1/4 more damage and deal 1/4 less DPS.

But i think the will definitely avoid some of the "OP" things in D2, like iron maiden, the will-o-wisps and Nithalak's corpse explosion.

korial how many hours of day light do you have currently?

 

[kestegs]

Yea, there was some good stuff in D2, hopefully it's at last avoidable if you are well geared. Playing some of the older D2 patches makes me wonder though, things are really toned down in 1.13

Thanks!

I don't doubt there will be some seemingly OP monsters, at least when you don't have the proper gear. But I was more referencing the frenxytaurs, wisps, those vipers down with nihla etc. The kinds that can even tear a barb with 4-5k hp to shreds in less then a second.


Not sure what you mean with how many hours daylight I get. It depends really, but for the most part I'm up around mid day or 1 pm or so. And I go to bed anywhere from 2 am to 7-8 am in the morning. Or have for some time now, trying to switch it around.

 

[kestegs]

Lol, what a funny schedule to be on. And on that note, I am off to bed!

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

Indeed it is! >_>

I guess it rises around 7-7.30 am and sets around... hmm. Guess 6 pm-ish? Haven't really paid any attention to that in a while.

Unemployed. =P Yea I'm terrible at keeping a good sleeping rythm if I don't have to due to other obligations. >_<


Btw just got myself an epic win! Played zerg vs terran. We both did fairly well during the early-mid game, then as we got closer to late game we ended up in a base trade scenario (right before I could get my brood lords). So both had lots of money but no base, he didn't have any workers, but he did have a command center he lifted off. I had workers but no base or unit producing structures, with loads of money stockpiled (was meant for them brood lords).

Anyway I had a good chunk of roaches left, he had 2 medivacs, a banshee and a raven with a handful of marines and marauders to go with it. Now I was running all over the map, trying to get that base down so I could build a spawning pool. My first plan was to get out just enough for anti-air defence and just rebuild, but I had to make sure he couldn't rebuild too. So I decided to stay mobile, hide 2 bases at a time, hide a spawning people somewhere on my creep that was spread out and about. That was just enough to get my lair going, and once I had a spore crawler I built my mutalisk building. All the while making sure he couldn't land his building, while having enough to fend off the raven and banshee. He didn't dare attack with the marines and maruaders, since my roaches would've decimated them.

With the extra minerals and gas I had in the bank, as well as minerals from drones mining I managed to get around 10-15 mutalisks and end the game.

Good luck with the interview Kori!

 

[korialstraz]

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

Thanks! It'll be interesting with no sleep to back it up.

But y'know what they say, no rest for the wicked!

 

[Skjolde]

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

Agree! I haven't slept much either. Stupid math is already killing me! Oh well, off to school!

Hehe. yea math can do that to you.

I am about 1 hour early to my interview. its ok though, since I am meeting someone here a little bit before the interview starts. I just hope I found the right building. The description I got was not the best.

 

[kestegs]

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

Sounds like a nice win there!

I didn't sleep well at all last night, which I knew was going to happen. I had taken a nap on the couch after dinner and then I played a HC character who nearly died a few times and it got my adrenaline going, I never sleep well after that.

 

[korialstraz]

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

I didn't sleep at all. If I keep on going for a few hours more I'll hit 40 hours without sleep. So time for that now.


The intweview went well. Had kind of blunder (depending on how you look at it). Last two questions I got was what I would want to do before starting on the job had they told me I was hired then and there. To which I replied I would've liked a couple days in order to get my sleeping rythm back on track. A fair answer, which also shows I want to have the opportunity to show up well rested on my first day of work. However she followed up on that answer with a second question, sounding almost a bit worried. She asked if I had troubles getting out of bed in the morning. Promptly replied no and was kinda surprised by that answer, as my resume shows very few hours skipping school or being away from school/work due to being sick. So that should back up my answer very well.

 

[kestegs]

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

Yea, well, not really that dishonest or anything. It's always nice to have a couple days to prepare for a new job. Sleep well my friend, you've earned it!

 

[korialstraz]

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

Thanks. Had a horrible nights sleep though. Didn't feel like I really slept any until around 9 am to 11 am or so when I got out of bed. >_>

 

[kestegs]

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

That's too bad, you'd think after all that being awake you could sleep good.

 

[korialstraz]

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

Indeed. Very surprised myself. Been trying to get myself to write up some applications, but I just can't get any good typing done. It all just sounds really bad. Might need to wait until tomorrow and cross my fingers I get a good nights sleep. >_>
