Episode 60 Reaping a Full House

Published: March 24, 2014, 1:07 p.m.

b"In this momentous\\xa0episode, not only are we whole once more, but we are joined by Medros and Rho for the eve of the reaping. After much celebration and frivolity we get down to business by discussing what we've been up to in-game: Breja is shaking things up in Torment, Lanntonio cleaned the slate, Nevik decided to invest into hardcore, and Jen dinged 60 on her Demon Hunter,\\xa0Thirtyseven!!!

\\nIn this episode:
\\n
\\n*\\xa0We read, and respond to, a mountain of emails we received from our wonderful listeners. This batch came to us from Master Do, Sean, and Mangall. Thank you for the emails and voice mail! Keep them coming, really!
\\n
\\n* We received a mountain of tweets from @Torrack1714, @shawno, @Hawgeye_ctr, @scanline75, @CkRtech, @BurghCrow78, @obelu5, @Rilandune, @HomeTownHero008, @Foqbupog, @pergosmaster, @gs01r, @Smokimus, @Cybrwolf0, @AllThingsAZ, @JCMonkeyD3, @Grindexp, @Outerlaw, @Cweirick, @GENERAL00, and @Hasteur.\\xa0Thank you for your tweets.

\\n
\\n*\\xa0We posed the\\xa0question\\xa0on Twitter asking what class would you be playing first in Reaper of Souls. We got quite a few responses. Be sure to follow our show account,\\xa0@ShatteredStone, on Twitter for future\\xa0Questions of the Show.
\\n
\\n* The deadline for our\\xa0100 Word Story Contest\\xa0has come and gone. Hope you submitted your story. We will be announcing the winners on episode 61!
\\n
\\n* With the launch of Reaper of Souls being imminent we thought it would be a good idea to go through what will be coming in the expansion that did not come with Patch 2.0.1. If you have been holding off on picking Diablo III back up until the expansion is here you may want to check out WoWhead's Welcome Back to Diablo guide detailing all of the changes made in Patch 2.0.1 and Reaper of Souls.
\\n* Blizzard has taken cross-promotion of their products to a new level with multiple tie-ins with the purchase of Reaper of Souls. By activating a Reaper of Souls key by 11:59pm PDT March 31st, 2014 you will gain the in-game cosmetic item Wings of Valor as well as unlock the Demon Hunter in Blizzard's forth-coming Heroes of the Storm. As if that wasn't enough, all purchases of the expansion will include some Hearthstone card packs!
\\n* Our favorite\\xa0hand-talker is up to his devious tricks again with some small and not so small allusions to the possibility of ladders coming. Do you like climbing ladders? Well Josh Mosqueira and the Diablo III development team sure think so.
\\n
\\n* Nate Kenyon, author of Diablo III: The Order and Diablo III: Storm of Light, recently paid a visit to Breja's son's school to talk about what it takes to be an author and possibly inspire the next generation of Diablo novelists! Breja managed to record the presentation and you will find it near the end of this episode.

\\n* If you were wondering if anyone could possibly be angry about the pre-order and Digital Deluxe/Collector's Edition bonuses then this is an Official Forum Thread Masterpiece Theater for you. While we can't always promise that this segment will always make an appearance, we do love a good OFTMPT.\\xa0\\xa0As always we are looking for your participation with this fun segment, send your\\xa0Official Forum Thread Masterpiece Theater\\xa0audio segments (or humorous forum threads) to\\xa0Show@ShatteredSoulstone.com.
