Yes, playing nothing but Diablo IV right now with my friend Mad Krammer. I have, however, been picking up other games including retro stuff. Retro gaming is ready to go whenever I can pull myself away. Here's Diablo IV and the games I've picked up lately. 

Diablo IV: I'm a level 93 Necromancer now. I've done nearly every story based mission in the game. A few side missions are available but where they are I just don't know. Some side missions literally just pop out of chests or dead bodies, so it seems kind of random to find them.

So instead I've been doing Nightmare dungeons, which are just more difficult versions of the dungeons I've already done, and also monster summonings that happen at special dungeons. You just need ingredients to make them appear and then fight like heck to beat them. Although they may appear a reasonable difficulty level, they always have special powers that make the fight very challenging.

Finally, there are multiplayer events that I, and Mad Krammer, take advantage of whenever they pop up. Legion events have multiple people defeat waves of enemies and World Boss pits everyone against one gigantic demon. Usually players of the highest level are there and do most of the work. It's fun to watch them and see their top level powers at work. Diablo IV, in the end game, has its most wild battles and amazing graphics.

I'll get myself to level 100 and then try to beat Uber Lilith. After that, I'll start playing the other character types and experience their unique abilities. 

Fan Expo

Fan Expo was really crowded. I waited in lines with my friend, Mad Krammer, so he could get his signitures from celebrities. Steve Downes and Jen Taylor from Halo were there. I was most interested in Richard Horvitz (Invader Zim, Destroy all Humans, Skylanders and Hulluva Boss), but I didn't have him sign anything. We also checked out the comic book creators' tables, and then I bought a few games from a vendor. I don't have a lot to say about this show except that it was interesting seeing all the different artists there and their work on pop culture subjects. Onto to the games: 

Fan Expo buys: Warrirors of Might and Magic (PS), Hot Shots Golf 1 + 2 (PS), and Railroad Tycoon 2 (PS), Turok 2: Seeds of Evil (N64). About $40 total. 

Goodwill finds: Burnout 3: Takedown (Xbox), Call of Duty 3 (X360), Call of Duty 2: Big Red One (Xbox), Call of Duty WWII (PS4). About $12 total. 

Day-one purchase at Classic Game Junkies: Endless Ocean Luminous (Switch). I got this after trading a bunch of NES games the week before, so no new money needed. 

I hope to pry myself away from Diablo IV for at least a little while so I can get to my retro plays this month. I've already blitzed past Game Boy Color stuff and have my N64 set up for next week. I will get to it.
