It’s been a while since my last Diablo III blog. Even so, I wanted to continue the “story” of Shawn’s Barbarian, Smashez Stanzenfyr, and my Demon Hunter, ThirtySeven.
Our goal was to get these two characters, that we rolled on Launch Night, through all of Normal difficulty on Diablo III before the one year anniversary of Diablo III (May 15, 2013). In the last blog, we got them through Act III, and were ready to begin Act IV. ThirtySeven was at level 32, and Smashez Stanzenfyr was at level 31.
One of the cool things about Diablo III is that you don’t have to play it all by yourself. I mean, you can if you want to. However, it is also perfectly acceptable to allow your friends to help you progress through the game. Always fun!
If you have been following along, then you know that our current goal is to get the two characters we rolled on Launch Night completely through Normal difficulty before May 15, 2013 (the anniversary of when Diablo III was released).
Here’s more of the adventures of my Demon Hunter, ThirtySeven, and Shawn’s Barbarian, Smashez Stanzenfyr. We were happy to have help from some friends. We started with ThirtySeven at level 31 and Smashez at level 30, and we left off slightly after the battle with Cydaea.
My Demon Hunter, ThirtySeven, and Shawn’s Barbarian, Smashez Stanzenfyr, were “born” on Launch Night, May 15, 2012. It’s been nearly a year, and they have yet to make it to the end of Diablo III in Normal difficulty.
In a previous blog, I noted that ThirtySeven was at level 30, Smashez was at level 29, and they were about to go after the Sin Hearts. Here’s some of the more interesting parts of their adventure.

Diablo III was released on May 15, 2012. It’s been almost a year! My Demon Hunter, ThirtySeven, and Shawn’s Barbarian, Smashez Stanzenfyr, were created on Launch Night.
They are still in Normal difficulty! The goal now is to get these two characters to the end of Act IV of Normal mode before May 15, 2013. Both Smashez and ThirtySeven were at level 29, and were somewhere in Act III of Normal. Here are the more interesting parts of their adventure!

Shawn and I had more than an hour to play Diablo III together this time! When we started, my Demon Hunter, ThirtySeven, was at level 29. Shawn’s Barbarian, Smashez, was at level 28. They were about to run through the Keep Depths.
During their adventure, it became clear that Smashez has a last name – Stanzenfyr. (Say that one out loud). He just cannot stop himself from hitting the barrels that have an oil lantern sitting on them. Seconds later, Smashez is standing in fire.
On a night when I was feeling pretty good (after suffering from allergies for too long) I decided to see if I could get my Barbarian, Zeta, at least as far as the Skeleton King in Act I of Hell difficulty. She started of at level 52. How far would she get?
There are days when Shawn and I don’t have a whole lot of time to play Diablo III together, but still want to play. If you only have an hour – then an hour will have to do!
When we started, my Demon Hunter, ThirtySeven, and his Barbarian, Smashez, were in Act III of Normal difficulty. Each was at level 28. Not much progress happened in the hour that we played this time, but every little bit helps!
Shawn and I don’t get to play Diablo III together too often, but we like to when we can – even if it is only for a hour. When they left off, my Demon Hunter, ThirtySeven, and Shawn’s Barbarian, Smashez, were in Act III of Normal mode.
I think they were both at level 28. They didn’t get too much farther (due to the limited amount of time) but managed to run into some interesting monsters anyway.
It’s been a long time since I played my little Wizard in Diablo III. Recently, I went through my stash in an effort to clear it out, and moved a bunch of “Wizard Only” stuff from the stash to my Wizard, Orlando’s, bag. I did the same with stuff for my little Monk, my little Demon Hunter, and my little Witch Doctor. Of course, the result was that I promptly filled up the stash with other stuff.
When I was putting together the Playing in Hell on Easter Sunday blog, I had the feeling that I’d taken more screenshots than what I had found. That suspicion has been confirmed. Sometimes, screenshots can get a bit scrambled up if you don’t clear everything out of that folder.
This means that there were some noteworthy things that I’d left out of the blog about my Barbarian, Zeta, playing in Hell difficulty on Easter Sunday. These screenshots are going to be out of chronological order, since they should have been shuffled into the previous blog. Seems I’m going to have to be a more active about clearing away old Diablo III screenshots from now own. Anyway, here’s what was missing. Just think of this blog post as a “bonus scene”.
