Video Games

[Rhetorik]

Streaming can be fun, especially if you enjoy entertaining people. You won't get much of a crowd just by playing a game though, gotta interact with the viewers, joke, overreact lol I overreacted to so many jump scares on outlast just to entertain the viewers. I wish I had stuck with streaming, I was growing fast. My first month I had 100 followers and a 20 viewer per stream average.

You should definitely give it a try, it's a lot of fun.

Main thing I've got going is apparently a very attractive voice haha. If I had a nickel for every time I'd been told I should be on the radio back when I worked in a call centre I'd be much better off than I am now

Not sure what games I'd stream. Probably Diablo, Vermintide, and general tomfoolery in GTA V etc.

 

[TheCADJockey]

Definite oh **** moment there xD

He isn't an overly coordinated gamer. Big 1-2 button masher so he neglects a lot of skills/spells. Doesn't have good map/monster awareness. Puts himself in a lot of unsafe situations and doesn't leave himself an out. He uses the same name on his wizard and adds a number after it each time he has to make a new one post-death. He's up to 7 or so hehe.

Lol then you should be well xD main thing is just have fun with it, don't be afraid to act like an idiot haha and play any game that you enjoy. Any of those games are pretty popular right now.

I feel you on the voice thing lol I used to work at a doctor's office and had a couple old ladies that called in several times a week, just to hear me talk lol I've been told several times that I should be a public speaker or radio personality.

That's hilarious xD but hey, as long as he is having fun I guess haha I can have bad situational awareness sometimes on certain games too, I miss playing Diablo though. I can't wait to get a new PC again.

Finally got the Akarat's Awakening shield yesterday, as well as a 2nd piece of ancient invoker's. Cleared GRift 67 with a few minutes to spare.

I need more ancient gear in this build. Only have 4 pieces total that are ancient; it's been hard as hell to get invoker pieces period. Comparatively, I have 5/6 ancient for the blessed hammer set, plus ancient weapon and shield...

 

[iijakii]

Eh Ancients doesnt matter too much for Invokers, since you won't be running LoN. Have you done the seasonal objectives yet? You can get complete Invokers set in like an hour easy.

 

[Rhetorik]

Have the full set, just want ancient. And it provides quite a good difference actually, as you get a fair bit higher thorns damage roll; the extra STR and VIT also increase your thorns and survivability.

I've done some math on various Ancient pieces, and I've concluded that Ancients provide up to 30% extra in stats.

Can't seem to do higher than GR50 solo.

Debating getting back into DotA2.

What legendary gems are you using?

 

[TheCADJockey]

Only thing I got to do this weekend was a few hungover matches of Black Ops. Almost max prestige. Finished subs/assault rifles. Need one more bloodthirsty to finish combat knife. Then just need LMG's and I'll have the dark matter camo. Some hero gear is fairly tough, although some of the new updates make it sound like they'll be a breeze now.

 

[TheCADJockey]

I recorded some funky clips. Since I only played a very short time, I was just screwing around. Had a pretty slick shot with the P-06 (burst sniper rifle) on the Infection map. Ran across the second floor wall of the house, boost jumped off and hit a guy in the church window. Some nasty combat ax hits. Fun times. Might upload a couple tonight while I make dinner.

 

[m00ps]

Without watching it or reading any reviews, I'm going to take a crack at summarizing the game:

Climb up all the things.
Fall down the other side of all the things.
Tits

FTFY

I did enjoy the last one that square enix made though. Probably due to the rpg elements...or tits

What build?

 

[Venari]

Double post.

 

[Venari]

What legendary gems are you using?

When I get home I'll check, but it was whatever was in the YouTube videos.

What build?

Demon Hunter unhallowed (supposed to be able to do 80s)
Wizard Flash fire, but since gold doesn't drop in GRs, I have no survivability.
Jade harvester witch doctor. Incomplete, so currently unable to go higher than 30.

Alright. Cuz if nothing has changed, you should be running taeguk, bane of the stricken, bane of the trapped. Get all 3 to lvl 25 minimum and obviously the higher the better. My gems are all 52+ right now.

Taeguk was at lvl 1 in the video. I haven't been putting any priority into that.

You should. It's awesome. Pain in the ass to keep up, but it's a huge static DPS increase

Just so I'm clear, which build are you talking about? The only taeguk I have is on my wizard.

[Rhetorik]

Just cleared GRift 68 with 1.5 minutes left. I'm hoping to get to GRift 75 by end of season... I'm thinking it's pretty do-able.

Working the uss constitution quests. A flying pirate ship commanded by pirate robots. Ha! It grounded and we are tasked with making it launch. This should be interesting.

The broadsider Cannon is awesome. Hard to find cannonballs though.

It's a pretty fun quest.

I finally finished the main storyline last week, and I think I probably exhausted most of the side quests. Now I'm debating about whether to buy something else, or to just start a 2nd playthrough and side with the Brotherhood or someone different.

 

[DrunkleJon]

I believe the fort has several stacks of them. I was trying to figure out what they were for.

 

[TheCADJockey]

Organized the office at home last night and finally unpacked last few boxes from moving. Hooked up a computer. Might see if it runs D3 well enough to funk around on some night. If so, I'll grab a few beers and come kill some bad guys with the HBT crew.

Look forward to it. New weapons and things in the black market now. I had saved up about 260 cryptokeys and went on a spree last night. Got the Garand which is one of many favorites now.

KL-EO (sp?) in Goodneighbor usually has some for sale.

It does. I thought they were junk.

Man.. for as much as I read up on that stupid game when I'm bored, I never was tipped off that they were going to add new weapons or I would've saved up. Two people I play with got new weapons. I just keep getting "dust" camo's or similar.

edit: Did you buy the 30 key or 10 key supply crates? I'm struggling to figure out which is more economical.

Came across goodneighbor some time ago and never explored it because I wanted to kill all the raiders at the encampment nearby. Working my way back to it now but keep getting distracted.

Bethesda did an update that now lets us build workbenches in diamond city house. Yay! That BS was the only reason I even bothered with supply lines.

 

[dad23ds]

Did you buy the 30 key or 10 key supply crates? I'm struggling to figure out which is more economical.

Honestly, I don't keep up. I have 17yo twin boys that keep me updated. They came home last night and told me there were new weapons and specialist camo. I just happened to have not used any since before the last double XP weekend so we sat there and blew them all. Based on their advice, I always get the 30 key crates. You usually get at least 1 rare or elite (whatever it's called), if not more. Those give you cryptokey bonuses so the 'price' goes down. I didn't get any other weapons but got a Jester head for the robot guy and Poison Frog camo for Ruin.

The Garand shoots/kills like the FAL in MW2, essential 2 shots. They offset the power by not allowing you to reload until the 8 bullet clip is depleted. If I had 1 or 2 bullets left, I would just shoot them so it would reload.

That sounds pretty awesome. Hope I score a few items to play around with before I get bored with the game. Just saw a video about a special weapon they added. It's a 1 handed crossbow, fires silently so doesn't show up on the map, one hit kills and can be dual wielded. Wtf mate?

I encountered one last night. I watched the killcam and didn't know what the heck it was. I can vouch for the one hit kill.

Currently using a LG G930 wireless headset, but the battery on it is junk. It needs to be constantly plugged in via USB. I get about 3 minutes of battery life now, and I've only been using it about 3 months. It was purchased online while I was in Nunavut, and I can't find it in my purchase history of Ebay or Amazon, so I'm not sure where I got it.

So I'm currently looking for recommendations on a new headset. Musts:

Wireless.
I want to be able to hear where somebody is relative to my position. If you're running circles around me, I want to be able to know where you are. Not sure what that's called.
Mutable microphone.
Comfortable on the ears. Must be able to be comfortably worn all day and/or night.
Battery life should last several hours.

If you've got a good experience with a gaming headset, I'd like to hear it!

 

[TheCADJockey]

Sony Gold Wireless

This is by far the best headset I've ever used. Not sure if it fits your application. I know I've plugged it into my PC and been blown away. Virtual surround sound. Most comfortable headset I've ever tried. Noise cancelling, I can barely hear myself talk when I have them on. They are amazing.

Was using a build I saw on Youtube. I switched to this build (only minor tweaks in skills and gems, really), and was able to do Grift 53 with 2 minutes to spare.

Currently trying to reforge my legendaries to Ancients, and gambling for set ancients from Kadala, hoping this'll improve what I've got.

EDIT: Friend and I using the same build did a Grift 58 together with 3 seconds to spare. It was a close thing.

How the hell am I meant to solo an 80?

I ended up getting the two handed sword yesterday....looks cool but useless (at least for me i'm not very good at this game)

 

[TheCADJockey]

I got up early this morning and trimmed some fun Black Ops clips. Will upload them tonight if all goes well and either make a fun montage or a few funky gifs to share.
