I finally stopped playing Diablo III and got totally committed to my run of the complete Borderlands series. Mark and I are about 18 hours into Borderlands 1 and getting near the last few missions. It's been so absorbing and fun with only a few of the usual frustrations and disfunctions. Here's the breakdown.

So today, Mark and I started with Diablo III: U.E.E.. I did bounty runs, while he power leveled characters for the Dream Team achievement. He got it and now has 100% completion of the game. I'm at 55% on the 500 bounties achievement, my last. Then we started the complete Borderlands run on XBO with Borderlands 1. It's backwards compatible and we both have it digitally, so we just installed and played. More below. 

Yes, it's the final achievement, 500 bounties, and I'm going for it. Today, Mark got it, but he had the time during the week to do that. I'm at 50% as of today. Mark has still to get the Dream Team achievement to get 100% completion, so he was following my level 70, paragon 101, Witch Doctor and power leveling. At Torment V difficulty, I have to be a little careful, but so far it's been fine. I think I'll notch it up to Torment VI tomorrow - more loot, more XP. 

Mark and I both finally got the last hardcore mode achievement in Diablo III: U.E.E.. That's for getting any hardcore mode character to level 70. We played lots of nephalem rifts to get the last 20 levels today. It's really the best place to gain levels. I played a Wizard and he a Warrior. In our previous harcore mode match, Mark, a Demon Hunter, had died at level 50. So rather than go it alone with my Crusader, I restarted as a Wizard and Mark created a Warrior (This was our arrangement when we played the game on X360). Well, on normal difficulty, I was so overpowered by the time I got to level 50, that I barely had to do anything as demons just dropped around me. It was still fun to let loose with my powered up magic laser. I felt like Marvel's Cyclops. 

Last few years I've been keeping a spreadsheet of all the media I've experienced. I've got games, books, movies, and music recorded. Let's do games. 

Spent it playing Diablo III: U.E.E. with Mark and seeing Assassin's Creed with my friend Sean. Details, details.

I didn't blog on Wednesday because I got a stomach virus. I was fine the next morning but that didn't get in the way of gaming both Wed and Thurs. Here's the breakdown:

As of Tuesday, first day of my staycation, I've played quite a lot of Diablo III: U.E.E. with Mark; bought Star Wars Battlefront, Mad Max and the most recent Skylanders Adventure pack; and almost finished Skylanders Academy season one. Details below.  

Didn't actually game at all myself, but I watched my neice and nephew do so.

That title might scare you but it's just Mark and I playing Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition this Xmas eve. I had to work for three hours in the middle there, but I dashed back to his place and picked up where I left off, chasing the Dream Team achievement.
