So anyways another day without WoW. That makes like three, lol. So out of boredom with some friends I have picked up Diablo 2 again. Playing over TCP/IP is so fun, and brings me back to the day when that was hot technology we were using to play such an incredible game for its time. Things is though how much do I want to play it when I just reinstalled KOTOR 2 from a friend so I can play that for the first time. I know right, I only played the first one like two or three times. Decisions, decisions.
Well for now Diablo 2 when my friends are over and KOTOR 2 when I am chilling until I beat it then another single player game to fill my gaming void that WoW has left me.
Playing Diablo 2 as a Assassin is pretty hard for me since im so used to Sorceress.But my other two friends are Pally and Druid, so they were all like be Assassin for dps. And I am like, "I guess whatever I do not really care". BUT I DO!! Sorceress is so much easier for me. considering that is all I would play back in the day. Guess I will have to get used to it for now.
On the other hand though in KOTOR 2 I always find it being easier to be good rather than evil, not sure why. Evil just like ruins the game although you have mischievous fun. And unlike Mass Effect were if you say a dark thing it means it. Cause Mass Effect its all like a semi-negative comment after you liked for it to say something worse like, " I am gonna jack you up!". It would say "You want to fight?" or something on the lamer side. But in KOTOR its like you get the reaction you were looking for. Just hard to keep alot of allies when going dark.
The one thing I loved about the first one was Pazaak. I hear there is a different card game and am eager to play it. Pazaak Online is a game also available for download if you Google it. Brings back those good times in the bar.
I just need to probably go back and play alot of games I have missed, whether it be from years ago or just the past few.
I kinda liked assassin, though I never enjoyed the traps. On the other hand, I loved the kicking and throwing stars (after the update), so you wouldn't HAVE to use the claws.
Thus, kicking, strong weapon + throwing stars + tiger/cobra strike = awsum.
Diablo is amazing. I've been playing Mythos lately and it is making me want to go back to Diablo. I just don't want to have to spend the time getting all the l33t gear again so if anyone wants to donate a HOTO, Enigma, and some sweet runes for me to get started back up let me know wahahahha.
Stay away from WoW, yes. But don't play Assassin. It's all the weaknesses of the Sorceress and a melee class all rolled into one. It's basically a caster that has to be in melee range and doesn't get to use Frozen Orb. The Assassin was my first D2 class, and after playing a Sorc once I will never go back.
I dont play really only cause my subscription ended and dont really have the money for it or the true desire i once had so Im either gonna take a long break or just quit forever.

Yeah, Diablo and KOTOR are great games.
Hard choice to choose in between the two. I'd rotate playing both personally. Now I have the sudden urge to load up Diablo 2. :)
I've been putting off playing KOTOR 2 since the restoration project has finally gone into closed beta. I can't wait to play that once it's ready!

Good job staying out of Wow :D
Yeah, Diablo with the friends and KOTOR when you're by yourself. Can't go wrong with either though

So perhaps it was in another blog I didn't read or something, but I'm interested in why you're not playing WoW.
Stay far away from WoW. Be strong!
Do not go back to WoW. Its what it wants you to do! Its dangerous I tell thee, D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S. Soon you will have your social life back.
What kepler said is true.
