Can't Get Here Soon Enough: Diablo III

I have enjoyed the Diablo series since day 1.

I'm not a die-hard Diablo fan, but it is one of the few games that I have enjoyed time after time - after time.  In fact, I was thinking of downloading 1 and 2.  Though, I tend to prefer 1 over 2, and I really wasn't that thrilled with the extension packs.  

I just watched some video's of the final battles for both 1 and 2, which was something that I have never done before.  It was interesting to see how other people finished their battles - what spells and weapons they used.  Interesting enough, I tend to use defensive spells offensively.  Never realized it before, but it is something that I tend to repeat in a lot of the games that I play.

You have probably already seen it, but here it is again:

Dungeonquest

For the last year, I have been reviewing, considering, and debating which RPG game I want to buy. Most of the time, I sadly realize that I have no one with which to play the game. At other times, I do not care.

I will find some new (or old) game either at the store or online, and then I spend a day or two researching and reading all about it. In a way, I make up for the lack of having any fellow gamers who would tolerate my learning curve or my creative questions that have nothing to do with the game.

Recently, I went so far as to buy three of the most recent DandD books - on clearance. They sit quietly on my shelf gathering dust. I figure the same thing will happen to Dungeonquest when I do buy it.

Honestly, I don't care.

A newer edition is coming out (Sept. 2010), and I loved the original. So.....here is to my purchasing Dugeonquest and never getting to play it.

Robert: Or I could lend you your favorite 6 year old niece to play it with you.... Just a thought. One of her other uncles was teaching her how to play World of Warcraft.

What the......Inflatable D20 Die?

During my hardcore D&D days, I collected dice like a madman. I had dice for every special occasion. I had my lucky dice, and I had the dice that I would share with anyone who needed them. (e.g. Bad Luck). I think that the only time I would have wanted this dice is when I was playing with someone, they were frustrating me, and asked to borrow a dice.

Here! Take it! Borrow the damn die!

And then it would have bounced off everything, landed on the gaming table, and everyone would be pissed off at me.

Hrmmmmph.

Shouldn't have asked to borrow the die.

What's up on your New Year Weekend?

How have you been spending your new year weekend? I thought I would give you a glimpse as to what I have been up to.



One key difference in my playing of this game is that I am now wearing reading glasses during game play. So - here is to another year - getting older and still operating as a kid.
