It’s taken some time to get this episode out, so you’ll have to excuse the “time warp” as exhibited by the fact that patch 1.0.8 was not yet released the night this was recorded. Nevertheless interesting discussions were had, especially in response to what one of the regular crew decided to do. Who did what? You’ll just have to listen to find out!

Once again this episode is light on the game-talk and heavy on discussion, but a little birdy tells me that the next episode in this series will be very in-game centric, and may just be massive enough to split into two.

If you would like to join in on the fun – and we hope you do! – Lanntonio is running these hardcore gaming nights generally every Tuesday night around 6pm Pacific / 8pm Central / 9pm Eastern.

Upcoming Diablo 3 Anniversary Event

01 Wednesday May 2013

Have you looked at the calendar recently? Can you believe that we’re now in the month of May? Crazy, right? And you know what that means … we’re coming up on the anniversary of Diablo III’s launch back on May 15th, 2012. Certainly we cannot let the anniversary come and go without doing something, right? RIGHT.

We will be celebrating Diablo III’s launch anniversary with a very special gaming night. How special you may ask, well, let’s just say that everyone will be slaying demons in their birthday suits.

That’s right. We will be playing brand spanking new randomly chosen hardcore characters with nothing equipped except for the weapons we find from the demons we slay as we go. Oh, and did we mention that we will be running these games on Monster Power Level 10?

So, how do you, the listener, participate?

As with our gaming nights we will be holding our Diablo III Launch Anniversary event on Mumble, so make sure you have Mumble installed on your computer and go through the audio setup wizard if you haven’t already done so. (The wizard is pretty easy to follow and shouldn’t take more than a couple of minutes to complete). Then look to the sidebar to the right to find the details for the Mumble server we maintain for our listeners.

So when will we be holding this anniversary event?

Wednesday, May 15th at 6 PM Pacific / 9 PM Eastern

Make sure you clear your calendars on Wednesday, May 15th at 6pm Pacific / 9pm Eastern. More than likely we won’t start EXACTLY at this time as some “pre-show” will definitely occur to loosen everyone up.

Hope to “see” you there!

Seems like the week leading up to the night of Dead and Waiting #4 proved to be a difficult one for many of folks in the crew. Fortunately that did not deter the resolve of the group and hopped back on the horse, as they say. Who died? You’ll just have to listen to find out!

The proverbial hardcore ball continues to roll with our third installment of our Dead and Waiting series. Lanntonio is joined once again by many of the same voices from our community and at least one new one. Who? Well, let’s just say that he’s a HUGE fan of Neil Diamond. HUGE FAN.

Guess what folks, our recent ventures into the hardcore realm of play have not been in vain. Lanntonio has brought the crew – which isn’t a set crew, anyone and everyone is invited to join in on these hardcore gaming nights – together to share their experiences in progressing through hardcore.

This second episode of Dead and Waiting is more of a (hardcore) community round table and was rather light on the in-game banter as previously since many folks couldn’t resist the urge to keep playing, and play they did. How far did everyone get? And did anyone die? (Spoiler: someone did!)

You’ll just have to listen to find out!

An idea has been brewing inside of Lanntonio’s head which after weeks and weeks of sweat and toil has finally come to fruition. Thus Dead and Waiting was born to follow the (mis)adventures of four brave souls – Lanntonio, Jamie (JCMonkey), Jesse (Saintly Demon), and Chris (CkRtech) – entering the hardcore world for the first time. What could possibly go wrong?

This first episode of Dead and Waiting has the crew (nervously) plowing through Act I Normal on Monster Power 10. How far did they go? Did anyone die? Did any legendaries drop?

You’ll just have to listen to find out!

Just to avoid any confusion, Jamie (aka JCMonkey) originally suggested that these hardcore game nights be titled Dead and Waiting, not Death and Waiting as was mentioned in episode 35. Dead and Waiting makes a lot more sense, so send your ire in the direction of Lanntonio for misrepresenting the name of this series. He won’t mind, really!

Diablo Gaming Night #5

Did you know that we held our fifth gaming night on Friday August 3rd? No? It seems not many did, but no need to worry, the night was recorded and is now available for your ears to consume.

This time we decided to try something different and get HARDCORE. That’s right, we played hardcore characters from level 1 with the added stipulation that only normal gear could be equipped. Sounds insane right? Well there was a reason for the madness as the last standing hardcore character would be crowned the victor and win a handsome prize!

We will surely run with this rule set for a future gaming night, but possibly with a few more caveats to make sure we all die in a more timely manner and make things even more interesting. Oh, and did we mention that Tinokk streamed the night on Twitch.tv and you can watch the replay here?

Speaking of future gaming nights, we have already determined when our sixth gaming night will occur. Gaming Night #6 will happen Friday August 17th at approximately 7pm Pacific, 10pm Eastern (or Saturday at noon for our Eastern Australian friends). Gaming Night #6 will also be a retro gaming night as we will be venturing once more in Diablo 2.

Don’t have Diablo 2? No need to worry, you’re still more than welcome to join us on Mumble while playing Diablo 3, or anything else. We love to have fun with our listeners so don’t be shy!

Until then sit back, crack open a cold beverage and enjoy our HARDCORE gaming night challenge!

As promised here is the second part of our 4th gaming night. It runs approximately 1 hour, 18 minutes and contains the remainder of audio from Gaming Night #4 as well as some audio recorded from the night prior. Oh, and all of it is comedy gold! Well okay, most of it is … errr some of it? Well, there’s bound to be something that will make you chuckle!

Were you unable to join us for our 4th gaming night? Stay tuned to the twitter account for the show (@ShatteredStone) for news on our upcoming 5th gaming night as soon as we nail down a date. We would love to have ALL the listeners join us on Mumble as we always have an incredible time.

Even if our gaming nights don’t normally work out for you be sure to join us on Mumble anyways. You never know when Nevik may do another ninja recording. Until then, brace yourselves for the FUNNY and give part 2 of our 4th gaming night a listen.

Diablo Gaming Night #4 (Part 1)

It’s been well over a month since Diablo III went live world-wide and our good friend, fan and listener Tinokk pointed out that we had not held a gaming night since the open beta weekend. After the shock of that fact wore off it was time to convene once more for a gaming night, and convene we did.

Our 4th gaming night, held on Friday June 22nd (Saturday June 23rd for our Australians friends), ran so long that the audio needed to be split in to two parts. Why two parts? Well, you see, there’s only so much comedy gold our ears can stand and we didn’t want to desensitize you to fun. Are you not thankful?

Anyhoo, we all had a blast and we promise you we won’t go another month without arranging our 5th gaming night. This time we’ll attempt to give everyone a fair bit more notice to avoid the “last minute’sh” scheduling of this past gaming night. Even with the short notice we still had a fantastic turnout and nearly maxed out the Mumble server.

So sit back, crack open a beer or sip on some red, red wine and enjoy … like a balls.

Diablo Gaming Night #3

I know, I know. It’s been awhile since our last gaming night. Things happen, hosts get busy. It happens right? Nonetheless we couldn’t miss out on an opportunity to beta-it-up with our wonderful listeners after Blizzard unexpectedly announced an OPEN BETA weekend.

Many laughs were had throughout the night and fortunately for us the beta servers remained stable enough for us to get a full run-through down to the Skeleton King. – though they came down almost immediately after. Our discussions varied quite a bit, as they tend to, so don’t hold it against us if we didn’t talk Diablo all night ^^.

We heard plenty of new voices on Mumble during the gaming night with RhoWoW, Smokimus and Zestyclam joining us for the first time ever. We were also joined by Lanntonio, Chaos and the bane of Nevik’s existence Rilandune.

If you couldn’t join us do not be troubled. Not only will there will be plenty of gaming nights after Diablo III finally launches, but we are also collecting and sharing BattleTags so that we all may game together when hell freezes over Diablo III launches.

Our next gaming night will likely occur the weekend following, so mark your calendars and clear your schedules! We look forward to looting for really reals with all of you really soon!
