Well season 5 for Diablo 3 has started and I'm doing pretty good. I had a bit of a rough start to the season but I managed to do pretty well lately. I wanted to play a crusader at the start of the season but after a couple of deaths, I switched over to the witch doctor. My first death for the crusader happened at level 17 so it wasn't a big deal since I hadn't played long on it. So after creating a second crusader, I managed to reach level 70 and was on master difficulty. I wanted to push getting my second invoker set item so I tried to do Zolten Kuelle at torment 2. Unfortunately, that's where I lost my character. I didn't feel like the crusader was fun to play at all, especially on the levelling process, so I decided to switch over to the witch doctor. I feel more comfortable playing on the witch doctor since I have played with this class for a long time. It seemed to me that the witch doctor is really super powerful when grinding to level 70. I think in future seasons, I will start playing a witch doctor first and then switching over to a different class later.
The second crusader death made me question why I was pushing so hard to play in the new season. It could have been easier to say "I won't play this season anymore, I will just go back to non-season." But in the end, the reason why I am playing this season is to try to get all the rewards for playing the season, such as the cosmetics, the pet and the extra stash space. It is very difficult to keep playing even though everyone else seems to be progressing further than you are. I know a lot people are playing in groups and gaining bonus experience to grind their paragon levels. Since I am playing solo, it's difficult for me to compare with others who aren't playing solo at all. I know that eventually many people will stop playing the game and that is when I will end up catching to the other players.
So far, my witch doctor has managed to reach paragon 250. Although it doesn't seem to be all that much, reaching 250 a week after the season started feels pretty good to me. I am currently running torment 7 rifts and my highest completed greater rift is at 37. I know I can do a higher torment level, I am just waiting to get 2 Unity rings so that I will take less damage. I am also looking for a Mara's Kaleidoscope so I can try doing a set dungeon with my Helltooth set. Completing the set dungeon will complete my chapter 4 seasonal journey, which will give me a pet. I think the goal for the rest of the season will be to reach paragon 600 and maybe try playing a crusader again.

Happy New Year 2016
Well 2015 is in the books and 2016 is here. I had a lot of fun in 2015 and I hope to have as much fun this year. I managed to complete finding all the legendary items for Kanai's cube in Diablo 3. I also have all 6 classes played and most are able to greater rift 25 and above. I also managed to watch the Star Wars movie (finally). I thought the film was very good (not great), probably won't be seeing it again. Now here are 5 things that I am looking forward to in 2016:
1) More Diablo 3 - Just like in 2015, I am hoping that we will get a bunch more patches and seasons in Diablo 3. The next season (season 5) is starting on January 15th. I think each season will run for about 3 months so that means we will probably see a total of 3 seasons in 2016. I think 2016 would be a good time to announce a new Diablo expansion. I would like to attend BlizzCon again this year but I won't mind if I cannot go.
2) Juno Reactor coming to Canada - It looks like Juno Reactor is coming back to Canada in 2016. So far it is penciled in for June 4th. I don't know if it is the whole band coming or just another DJ set with Ben Watkins but I am quietly optimistic that Juno Reactor is coming back for another live show. A lot times in the past, there were rumors of a live show coming to Vancouver that never materialized so I am kind of nervous that this show may not happen as well. Also, there might be another "album" released in August (Juno is playing at the Ozora Festival at the same time). It is very exciting time for Juno fans around the world.
3) Warcraft movie - The new Warcraft movie is set to debut this year (in the summer iirc). I normally don't go to the movie theaters to watch movies but I am very excited about this one. First of all, I've played the Warcraft games and I love the story in those games. Second, this was filmed here where I live so it will be interesting if I can pick out any details in the movie where I possibly have seen it before.
4) New video games - There will be plenty of new video games in 2016. The first new game that I want to try out is Overwatch. I have already paid for this game (since it has some goodies for other games that I play). I don't think I will be playing this game often but I do want to try it. It seems to be fairly fun to play but I think it will be like Heroes of the Storm for me (a game that I will play for a little bit but not too much). World of Warcraft will have a new expansion out but I don't think I will play it.
5) Fishing trip with my best friend - My best friend and I are planning a fishing trip sometime in the summer. We were talking about this for a long time. Our plan is to go to Vancouver Island and find a guided tour to fish for salmon. Not all the details have been worked out yet but I am excited about going fishing. We were planning to invite a couple more friends but it seems they cannot go because of their busy schedules.
