Diablo 3: Seasonal Demon Hunter Tips for Casual Players
For season 2, I decided to push a Demon Hunter character since for the most part I’ve accomplished as much as I could on my normal characters. In short, I felt somewhat bored and wanted to give the new seasonal game play a try. I consider myself a casual player (although I do play quite…

Many streamers have the goal of getting a subscription button as it represents a sort of holy grail as a status symbol on Twitch.

Baldur’s Gate 2: Modifying NPCs to Be More Interesting
I heard there’s a program that allows you to modify NPCs a bit. The main benefit is to give the NPCs a little more variety and hopefully make them more appealing (since many have either poor stats or just offer nothing in terms of their classes). So here’s some ideas in terms of making the…

Diablo 3: Ideas on Improving Class Sets
Something that I want to work on in this blog is coming up with some ideas to improve upon class sets. I mentioned previously that I do feel Demon Hunter’s Marauders set is in a good spot overall prior to the nerf and that the real issue is improving upon other sets. Here, I want…
