Well another year is in the books. I wanted to write this blog post a little bit earlier but I was real busy to start the new year. The new Diablo 3 season (season 9) just started and I have been playing that. From last year's blog post, I pretty much accomplished what I set out to do in 2016. I managed to play lots of Diablo, I went to the Juno Reactor live show, I played a little bit of Overwatch and I managed to go to BlizzCon again. The only thing that I didn't do was to go on a fishing trip with my best friend, which probably won't happen until 2018. These are some of the things that I want to accomplish in 2017:
a) Play lots of Diablo 3 again.
It probably isn't a big surprise since I have been playing Diablo 3 for a very long time. I still enjoy playing seasons even though I have managed to gain all the extra stash space that is available. I am very excited about the changes and features that are coming to Diablo in 2017. I think both the armory and the currency tab will be good features for the game. Challenge rifts doesn't excite me too much but one thing that really excites me is the new class, the Necromancer. Even though the Necromancer kind of plays like the Witch Doctor, I think the Necromancer will bring lots of new play styles that I am willing to try out. There is already the Diablo 1 remake done in Diablo 3, which is running until the end of January.
b) Travel somewhere outside my home.
For 2017, I am hoping to get 5 weeks of holiday. With those 5 weeks, I am hopeful that I can use that time off to go somewhere. I have been going to BlizzCon for the past 4 years and maybe I will go to it again this year. Even if I do miss out on BlizzCon, I would like to go somewhere different (maybe someplace warm ie Hawaii or Mexico?). I could always go to Japan since I have relatives living there but maybe I will try to travel to somewhere I haven't been to.
c) Play lots of Juno Reactor music.
I always listen to Juno Reactor but this year I am hopeful that Juno Reactor might put out some new music. I know Ben Watkins has told us that some of the music might be in the new Blade Runner movie (which I am excited to see), but nothing has been confirmed yet. I know Ben played some new music at the Vancouver live show, so I am hoping those music will be out soon.
d) Keep up posting regular blog posts.
This is really hard for me to do since I often have other things to do. I will try to put out a blog post every 2 weeks so that it is on a regular schedule. Sometimes it is really hard to put a blog post out because there isn't a topic that I want to write about (other times it is real easy). I will probably have to make a list of all the topics that I want to discuss so that I am not scratching my head when I do have to put out a blog post.
Hopefully 2017 will be another good year for me. I know that I am not planning that much for this year but I am sure something exciting will happen this year. If it does, I will make sure to make a blog post about it. I hope everyone else has a great 2017.
