Show notes originally posted by Nevik In this LONG OVERDUE episode, we work out our scheduling difficulties and get together to record once again.

Show notes originally posted by Nevik In this episode, we are once again whole and no longer lost with our 4th Musketeer, Lanntonio, returning.

Show notes originally posted by Nevik In this episode, we have found our souls reaped following the announcement of the first expansion, Diablo III: Reaper of Souls.

Show notes originally posted by Nevik In this episode, our 4th Musketeer could not join us for more than a fleeting moment on account of having a massive household move the following day.

In this episode: * We read, and respond to, another mountain of emails we...

Show notes originally posted by Nevik In this episode, things are flipped upside down as summer has played havoc with everyone’s schedules. After lamenting the lack of game-time from the majority of the crew we get down to business by discussing what some of us have been up to in-game and out-of-game: Nevik has been to the land of Disney, Jen hot on the heels of dodging planes has been dodging jury duty, Lanntonio is preparing for a move, and Breja provides the meat by playing his demon hunter. ...

Show notes originally posted by Nevik Our hardcore crew is back in action for our eighth installment. After the previous lengthy side-a-sodes, we decide this time to opt for a simpler, shorter format and catch up on what everyone has been up to. As with earlier episodes of Dead and Waiting this episode is focused mainly on being conversational with little in-game talk at all. Hopefully you don’t mind after a string of lengthy episodes though, right? We will get back to in-game shenanigans soon ...

Show notes originally posted by Nevik Despite being worse-for-wear our intrepid 4th musketeer, Lanntonio, proved himself a trooper and hosted our 7th (recorded) hardcore gaming night. He didn’t have to shoulder the burden alone, however, as a couple familiar voices from the Shattered Soulstone joined him for a raucous and rowdy gaming night. Hot on the heels of a series of lengthy hardcore gaming nights, this night proved to be as entertaining as it is long. There might have been some form of f...

Show notes originally posted by Nevik In this episode, we’re down a Breja after a medical scare over the weekend, but after reassuring everyone that everyone is okay we then get down to business by discussing what we’ve been up to in-game: Nevik is slowly making progress with his special HC wizard, Lanntonio now has a hardcore puke doctor, and Jen fired some bolts into the cold dead (again) corpse of the Skeleton King in Nightmare. In this episode: * We read, and respond to, another mountain of...

Show notes originally posted by Nevik 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 Fan...

Show notes originally posted by Nevik In this episode, we celebrate our very own Jen’s IRL Level Up Day and then we get down to business by discussing what we’ve been up to in-game: Jen is inching closer to the Skeleton King in Nightmare with her launch night demon hunter, Lanntonio has been hunting for Leoric’s Signet, Breja used the power of an Orange Pet to get his monk to 60, and Nevik mourns the loss of his solo, self-found, no auction house hardcore wizard.

Show notes originally posted by Nevik It’s back to basics with this episode of Dead and Waiting. After some arm-twisting Lanntonio and the crew get back in-game and run a few “games”.

Show notes originally posted by Nevik WELCOME TO SMASHEZ STANZENFYR TALK… ERR oops, couldn’t help it.

In this episode: * We did NOT receive a mountain of emails like ...

Show notes originally posted by Nevik 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...

Show notes originally posted by Nevik In this episode, we open the show a little … differently on account of what might be perceived to be the darkest day in Diablo 3’s history.

In th...

Show notes originally posted by Nevik 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. 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 (@JCMon...

Show notes originally posted by Nevik 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! Once again this episode is light on the game-talk and heavy on regaling us all with the many, many deaths that occurred. At some point we will be hosting a more in-game focused hardcore...

Show notes originally posted by Nevik In this episode, our beloved little family is whole once more with our fourth musketeer rejoining the crew.

Show notes originally posted by Nevik 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. Once again this episode is light on the game-talk and heavy on discussing the trials and tribulations of playing hardcore. At some point we will be hosting a more in-game focused...

Show notes originally posted by Nevik In this episode, we are without our dear fourth musketeer and missed him dearly.

In this episode: * We read, and respond to, another mountain of emails we...
