Saturday is here

It's Saturday

back into a bit of d2 after some time away, have been looking for some MP but not much happening in the times I am available.

Have a good weekend all

 

[Nacaa]

Installed D2 yesterday and did 3 pindleskin runs before I had to go Not much playing as you can see. Will play some tonight though.

Happy weekend all :buddies:

:sigh: What a day so far.

I found out that my wife never submitted her request for sick pay for some days she's been taking off recently, so her last two checks combined are less than one of her normal checks. :rant:

For some reason, our car payment never got credited back in March, so now the credit company is threatening reposession, unless we pay a double bill in May. This will be extra fun because we already owe double phone, internet and TV from the above problem.

I got to work with one of the most obnoxious people on the face of the planet. If you've ever seen the Dilbert comic strip, I'm referring to talks-too-loud-guy. The guy who shouts at everyone regardless of their distance from him. About completely innane topics.

I was going to go to Footy practice this morning, but due to the reason #1 why today sucked, I don't have enough cash to buy gas to drive down there. Yeeeargh. :rant:

On to D2 related news. Ichi, my hunter druid, has become the second character to make it past NM Duriel. He stood around and watched my level 23 bear and my holy freeze merc pound the crap out of Duriel. He was even nice enough to caugh up a decent unique too, the barbed club Fleshrenderer or whatever it's called. Was about to chuck it in the stash, before I noticed that it added +1 to druid skills. He's wandering around the jungle of A3 at level 57 or 58.

Off to pay not-quite-all of the rent... stupid lazy arse wife. Sometimes she really makes my blood boil. :grrr:

Oh my god, I'm posting... CRAZY!!

On a whim, decided to take a break from low level MF runs and try some hell Pit runs with good ol' MadMardigan. I managed to remove some of his survival equipment to replace with MF gear, and I don't die that often, so it's no biggie. He went from level 79 to 83 in three days on players 2. No real tremendous finds yet, though a couple did make me happy: Ogre Axe, Executioner Sword, Winged Helm, and a lovely 2-socket Royal Shield that allowed me to make this:

Rhyme
Royal Shield
'ShaelEth'
Defense: 168
Chance to Block: 75%
Smite Damage: 24 to 32
Durability: 60 of 60
(Paladin Only)
Required Strength: 114
Required Level: 41
Item Version: 1.10 Expansion
Item Level: 85
Fingerprint: 0x570df260
+20% Increased Chance of Blocking
Regenerate Mana 15%
Fire Resist +25%
Fire Resist +41%
Lightning Resist +25%
Lightning Resist +41%
Cold Resist +41%
Cold Resist +25%
Poison Resist +41%
Poison Resist +25%
50% Extra Gold from Monsters
25% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items
40% Faster Block Rate
Cannot Be Frozen
Socketed (2: 2 used)

Which makes me die less because my resists don't suck. Now I just need a 3-socket elite one with good resists, and I can move into Exile.

In RL news, I'm engaged now :teeth:, eagerly awaiting Games Day, and got a new Aspire X-Alien case for my computer.

Well, off to kill more skeletons, rogues, and devilkin.

(edit: Oh, and a lovely LUM Rune)

Looks like things might finally slow down at work this weekend, and I may actually get some real time off. Good thing, too, because I have one more exam left for which I need to do a lot of preparation. I should have some time for D2 this weekend; I already spent some time yesterday questing Laurana, my Amazon, from the first quest in Act II Hell to the third quest. I know, not a tremendous time investment, is it?

I'm hoping to run into this girl today, becasue I've decided to stop being a punk and just ask her out. I'm not used to this whole dating thing, and it's been a long time since I've had to ask a girl out. Damn I'm a punk. Oh well, I'm going to do it today, and nothing can stop me!

(this is the part where you all need to give me a pep talk...)

Good luck Kremtok!

Well last night (it was technically saturday) I was involved in some excelent WSK runs, hosted by Fusion_Ice, with my MF Hammerdin. Best find of the night was most certainly Scissors Suwwayah(sp?) (Thanks to NSXDreamer, Fusion_Ice, and DeathMaster for being good sports about me keeping it)

So, this brings me to a question. Is their any assassin build that the full nat's set is especialy good for? /assassin n00b

My sorc roamed through nm today.. I have played my sorc to nm act5 in 2 days

Only NM act4 was real pain in the @ss, since I'm only fire, whole place was filled with immunes / high resistants.

It took 35 mins to clear CS.
