Random Encounters

Wow. 10 years of Diablo II. A game I have beat numerous times (and owned numerous times.) I first picked up the Battlechest edition after Lord of Destruction was released. So I never played Diablo II “vanilla.” I’ve always been someone that has played it post LoD with all the extras and fixes that came with it. Diablo and DIablo II were one of the first games I ever really played online; up until Diablo II came out, the area i lived in did not have good enough phone lines to really have online play of…anything. Me and a giant of a man named Tim would play Diablo II for hours.

Wonder what happened to Tim? Hm. A Barbarian will be named in his honor…

However I have played the hell (Heh get it?) of the game over the years. I tend to go in cycles: Stop playing for awhile, then getting the urge to play again… An urge I must scratch.

I am playing it again right now, actually. As an Assassin, my favorite class.

I am one of those people that is more excited about Diablo III coming out then Starcraft II. It has been ten years, but I am ready for a new experience…one that may last 10 more years.
