Season 25: Nephalem Rift Trail Mix

A Monk wears a mix of brightly colored armor. One hand is covered by a dangerous looking weapon and the other hand holds a blade. She has glowing wings. Next to her is a monstrosity of a unicorn.

In this video, my Monk ran through some Nephalem Rifts, in the hopes of leveling up to 70. Each Nephalem Rift is unique – and these were some of the most varied ones I’ve encountered.

Season 25: Chasing Goblins

A Monk wears a colorful mix of armor. Her helmet has horns. Next to her is a white monstrosity of a unicorn.

In this video, my Monk completed three Season Journey Objectives that required her to be Level 60. She hit Level 65 by the end of this video.

Families who lost a loved one in the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre reached a $73 million settlement with Remington Arms. The company manufactured the rifle that the shooter used to kill 20 first graders and six educators in 2012. This is the first time that a gun manufacturer had to face potential liability following a mass shooting in the United States.

One large crow starts barking LOUDLY somewhere nearby. I look outside and find him sitting on the brand new house that was recently delivered to the mobile home park my husband and I live in.

Season 25: Soul Shards

A Monk is wearing mostly white and grey armor. Her helmet has large horns. Next to her is red teddy bear who has stitches.

In this video, my Monk went around Sanctuary in search of more Soul Shards. The only way to get them is by killing some of the “Big Bads”. Not all of them will drop a Soul Shard, but it was worth a try.

Kitchen Scramble App: Loveville

Loveville is a Valentine's Day town. The majority of the town is pink. There is a winding road going through it with a total of ten levels the player can play through.

Loveville is an “extra” town in Kitchen Scramble. The theme of this town is Valentine’s Day. This is a town you can skip if you aren’t interested in it. Or, you could play through it and possibly earn some prizes.

Season 25: Soul Shards and Level 50

A Monk is wearing some red armor and some green armor. Next to her is a small black and white spotted calf.

This video was created after I encountered technical difficulties with the video that would have come before it. My Monk started this one at Level 45. After reviewing the Season Journey objectives I completed before starting this video, I focused on Soul Shards and worked on leveling up my Monk to 50.
