Once again we’re back to reinvigorate our series of interviews after some length from our last interview. What better way to breathe life back into this series than bringing on Jaetch, a wizard extraordinaire, to talk about his experiences with the game?

Unfortunately Breja and Lanntonio were unable to make it for the interview but Jen and Nevik held down the fort and had an absolute blast talking all things wizard, allergy placebos, and a dash of Final Fantasy with Jaetch.

Jaetch is an active forum member over at DiabloFans, so be sure to keep an eye out for his posts (which you can easily find through his profile) if you’re interested in elevating your wizard-play to the next level. Also be sure to check out his YouTube channel for his future endeavors into producing video guides.

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.

Listen on as we discuss the major nuances of Patch 1.0.8, our excitement for as well as the potential downsides of the monster density change, whether the social feature improvements are enough, what we feel is missing from the patch, and how basic everything basically is, basically.

Check out Audible for your FREE, no obligation 30 day trial including a free 1 credit book. Go to bit.ly/sspbook to start your trial today!

Joining us for this round table was 9pad (@9PadGaming), Dave Dienforce Adams (@Dienforce) from the now defunct Diablo Off the Record and Dungeon Crawler podcasts, Jaime (@JCMonkeyD3), Jesse aka Saintly Demon (@HomeTownHero008), Mach1, Overtime, Scanline (@scanline75), and Torrack (@Daladria).

If you couldn’t make it to our Patch 1.0.8 community round table fret not, there will be more round tables in the future. You can expect a round table for each substantial patch as Diablo 3 matures into the game we all want it to be. So go download Mumble to join in on the fun with us.

Quick Note: You’ll notice at times the audio during the round table community isn’t quite all … that great. Somehow Nevik’s recording levels didn’t mesh well with Mumble. It’s still quite listenable, but hopefully next time it will be a lot better.

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!

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. All you need to do to join in is have Mumble installed and setup and hop on our mumble server (details can be found in the sidebar).

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!

Interview with Red Team Gaming

It’s been awhile since we last had an interview on the show so we decided to pull in the two fine gents, Sibcoe and Dred. This dynamic duo has been responsible for the latest in the on-going series State of Diablo 3 by Red Team Gaming. Unsurprisingly the interview went far longer than we would include in a regular show so we are releasing it separately from the soon-to-be recorded episode 35.

Check out Audible for your FREE, no obligation 30 day trial including a free 1 credit book. Go to bit.ly/sspbook to start your trial today!

Unfortunately Breja and Jen were unable to make it for the interview but Lanntonio and Nevik held down the fort and had an absolute blast talking with Sibcoe and Dred. Again, unsurprisingly, we meandered slightly off the “interview” and had some fantastic discussions about the game itself and the state that it is in. I know, crazy, right?

Be sure to check out Red Team Gaming and Sibcoe’s RTG YouTube channel for everything he amazingly has time to produce. Also don’t forget to check out Diablo Expressions as well as Dred’s YouTube channel for his own podcasts. We’re not joking, GO CHECK THEIR STUFF OUT. It’s really great and that’s why we just had to interview them.

Sometimes it is amazingly funny how Murphy’s law works. You’ll be recording a show and mention numerous times how you’re waiting on a certain piece of information only to have said information dropped on your lap after wrapping. Yes folks, we are of course referring to the deluge of Patch 1.0.7 information that emerged minutes after concluding our recording session of episode 32.

Not wanting to wait until our next episode to discuss all the gooey nuggets of patch 1.0.7 we decided that the best course of action would be to invite you, our dear listeners, to join us for our very first community round table … and it was a fantastic success!

Check out Audible for your FREE, no obligation 30 day trial including a free 1 credit book. Go to bit.ly/sspbook to start your trial today!

Joining us for this round table was Chris (@CkRTech) from Armchair Arcade, Jesse (@theRealJFrench) aka Saintly Demon, Rho (@RhoWoW) from All Things Azeroth and Realm Maintenance, and fellow altoholic Smokimus (@Smokimus).

Listen on as we discuss the larger nuances of Patch 1.0.7, Jay Wilson’s departure from the Diablo 3 development team, what we feel is missing from the patch, and how always amazing Maghda was as a butterfly witch.

If you couldn’t make it to our first community round table fret not, there will be more round tables in the future. In fact we’d wager a bet that you can expect a round table for each substantial patch going forward. So go download Mumble to join in on the fun with us. Uber runs are soo much more fun when Death Watch Mantles inexplicably drop throughout the night.
