Leaderboards in Diablo games have been around for almost as long as the franchise itself. However, there's still some controversy associated with this topic and gamers are still debating the merits of adding leaderboards to Diablo 4.

Diablo 3 Season 31

GUARDIAN for Diablo 3 Season 31 is a wrap, and I had a lot of fun over the past couple of days as always. My best was Rank 83 on the Overall SSF Wizard Leaderboard for the Americas when I cleared my first GR70. Some really nice Portrait and Pet rewards for this Season as well.

Helltides are on Fire!

The first PTR for Diablo 4 concludes on Tuesday, April 9th. While many of the new features got mixed reviews, there seems to have been on clear winner.

TSO 23-24 Season Wraps Up

 My final opportunity to staff at the Tucson Symphony Orchestra for their 23-24 Season happened this weekend with a spectacular Broadway Legends performance. I've already made my selections for the 24-25 Season and I'm looking forward to another year of great entertainment.

New Japanese Snack Bar

Today I visited my friend Tomomi at her new Japanese snack bar called Miyabi, which is located at Davis Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, AZ. Tomomi is the owner of the Takoyaki Balls food truck where I work occasionally at various festivals in southern Arizona. They've now expanded to offer a daily breakfast and lunch menu for DMAFB employees.

Diablo 4 PTR Preview

The first PTR for Diablo 4 starts on Tuesday, April 2nd. There's been a lot of talk about this, both good and bad, from the Diablo elites, but who is the PTR really for?

Arizona Bao & Dumpling Festival

I had a great time staffing at the Takoyaki Balls truck this past weekend for the Arizona Bao & Dumpling Festival in Peoria, AZ. We had a great crowd with lots of customers who were eager to try the famous 🐙 dumplings. 🌧 clouds were overhead most of the day, but fortunately the weather held except for a couple of brief sprinkles. I'll be back there again next month for the Arizona Fried Chicken & Wing Festival 😋.

Game On Expo 2024

This weekend was my second time staffing as an "NPC" at Game On Expo 2024. I worked two shifts at the Registration Booth and the flow of visitors checking in was non-stop the entire time. This year's event was the largest in history, I got to meet lots of interesting people, the Cosplay was outstanding, and the gaming hall was enormous.

One of the most impressive sights was the queue of nearly 1000 people waiting to attend the Baldur's Gate 3 Voice Actor Reunion panel. I also had the opportunity to meet Josh who was part of the development team for the Halo game series. Two or three tours through the massive Exhibit Hall resulted in the purchase of a couple of very nice art pieces to add to my collection.

Arizona Matsuri Festival

Had a blast as usual with the Takoyaki Balls crew at the Arizona Matsuri Festival on February 24th & 25th. I prepared nearly 1500 Gyoza Dumplings over the weekend and smashed my previous personal record.

Pets of Pima Parade

I started volunteering at the Pima Animal Care Center (PACC) last Fall, and my first time staffing at the Pets of Pima Parade (POPP) was on February 18th. The morning started out with setting up the staging area and then assisting participants with registration. That was followed by helping to control traffic on the route, handing out programs, and enjoying the parade. It was a lot more fun than I expected.

Tucson Symphony Orchestra

I recently started staffing as an usher for the Tucson Symphony Orchestra. My first night on duty was on February 16th for their performance of Rachmaninoff’s Second Symphony and it was a glorious experience.

   

Diablo 4 Lunar Awakening Event

The perfect follow up to the Phoenix Chinese Week event.

Had some fun today collecting these cosmetics from the #DiabloIV Lunar Awakening event. I got the Lunar Scepter for my Sorceress, the Moonshot Bow for my Rogue, and the Moonborn Stallion.#Diablo #diablo4 pic.twitter.com/BUAfolXwWl
