Gaming at Ben's House and Leif Kayser

I visited Ben's to play the new Path of Exile expansion, Lake of Kalandra.

On the drive down, I rediscovered a composer in my music library: Leif Kayser. He reminds me a lot of Hindemith, with lots of interesting chord progressions and tonal shifts.

After I arrived, we got dinner at the local Mexican restaurant, and wandered around Gamestop and Walmart for a bit before heading back to Ben's house to begin the game.

This expansion focuses on Kalandra, and her mysterious lake that allows you to craft encounters from previous enemies. It also further explores the concept of mirroring items, which creates a set of items with opposing stats.

I will be playing a lightning witch, to explore the various new lightning skills and reworks that were introduced.
