So Battle for Azeroth has launched and I'm going to be raid tanking.

I'm a druid, so that mean giant furry bear mauling stuff while making everything angry so it hits me instead of my friends while they kill it.

The fights are kind of intimidating looking, I've been watching fight videos.

Haven't raid tanked in a while. This'll be interesting.

As someone who’s always been a front-line damage-soaker on games, you have my respect for such a usually thankless role.

Or not, the article was posted on April 1st.

Installing Portal 1 & 2. I haven't played these game in years.

Just played some Diablo I, using the Diablo I HD Mod. It works on Windows 7, and plays in 1920 x 1080. You still need the original game to play it, and you need to copy the DIABDAT.MPQ file from your cd to the install folder on your hard drive. Then copy the mod to your install folder, and start it with Belzebub.exe.

It is not exactly the same as the original Diablo. Some things have been added, like the assassin and necromancer classes. Skills have been added too. It plays a maybe a bit more like Diablo II. It was fun going down memory lane with it for a while. Back in the day I spent a looot of time playing this game.

Diablo memory lane indeed! I only played DI a bit to help fill in gaps from DII. I spent loads of time playing Diablo II though. Many fond memories with the 'Bowgirl' a couple decades ago as a bow/bow amazon. I loved the game because it elegantly supported a Mystic Archer.

Tried to install and play it again a few years ago and though it installed and played, the graphics were neon distorted. 256 colors or whatever and it was just a mess that I had to give up on.

I get the same brightly speckled dots all over the screen if I try to play the original Diablo I (or a lot of old games).

If you go to Blizzard's website and create an account, you can link your Diablo II cd-key to it. Then you can download a digital version of Diablo 2 which is supposed to be playable on a modern PC. The tricky thing is when it asks for your cd-key, don't use your original one from your cds. You will find a second digital version cd-key in your account info. Use that.

I did that and installed the digital Diablo II. But I get an exception error every time I try to start it. You might have better luck.

I did get it working after all. Follow the instruction here, and download the Glider wrapper, install it, and set it up with the instructions on the page

Tonight Khajiit will finally finish off the main story in BATTLETECH. Onward to Coromodir!

I'm playing Sweet F.A. .

So I not only got my main Pokemon to level 100 recently in Explorers of Sky, but I also reached Grandmaster Rank yesterday. I thought I'd need a bit more grinding but I guess I was wrong and probably very impatient when I was younger and I first played these games.

Still haven't tried the harder dungeons but I have a Ledyba ready to take them on. Maybe I'll do those first and THEN try to recruit one of each Pokemon (including alternate formes)

So that ended up being disasterous. It didn't make it past floor 14 of Destiny Tower. I decided to take Drifloon instead, which ended up being the best choice. It starts out with Minimize (increase evasion), and its Unburdened ability makes it act twice in one turn, without using up PP, so long as it's not holding an item. Never mind that it's holding onto a bag anyways...and a held item somehow STAYS in the bag if it is equiped. Got as far as the 20's before i was quickly defeated thanks to being dumb. I think this'll work! :v

(It was midnight and my camera's bad)

Needless to say, Drifloon did very well. On to Zero Isle South for 99 more floors of hell.

Zero Isle South cleared, and it was significantly easier than Destiny Tower given that Reviver Seeds actually dropped there (and regularly) making it much less stressful because I didn't have to worry about a single dumb mistake undoing all the time spent in that hellhole. On top of that, there was a severe lack of Max Elixirs (that weren't sticky) so I pretty much had to rely on getting knocked out and revived to restore used-up moves halfway through.

There really isn't much of a reason to get to the end of the dungeon aside from bragging rights, since all but one of the locked up treasures are on the first 30 floors. The only thing waiting for you farther on is the Miracle Chest on the 96th floor and a treasure box on the last one, and even going for the Miracle Chest was pointless since I got another one from the Recycle Shop when I was getting rid of the excess stuff I got there. I also got an IQ Booster, which is supposed to drop from another post-game dungeon I haven't done yet. So....yeah, that's another one I'm doing just for completion's sake. At least the absolute hardest ones are out of the way.

Now that I've done pretty much all I want to do in Fallout 3, I've moved on to a couple of other games.

Just started a puzzle game called Q.U.B.E. this past week. It's interesting, mostly because I really like the aesthetic. Clearly some inspiration from the Portal games.

And after a month of not playing it, I decided to give the original Fallout a go again. I had played for a few smaller sessions but didn't really care for it much. I picked it back up last night and I am quite enjoying it now. It helps that I now know what I'm doing. Quite clunky controls, but that isn't all that unexpected from a 20+-year-old game. I'll definitely keep it going. The atmosphere is much better than in Fallout 3 and 4, but I still enjoy the gameplay of 3 and 4 much more.

Still mainly playing FFXIV, but over the last week or so I've been playing through Destiny 2.

The base game of Destiny 2 is...not that great, much less interesting than the first game. The 'expansions' however bring the game way up, and are a ton of fun. Unfortunately I've hit a grind wall for the most recent expansion, have to grind out some random repeatable missions before I can move on with the story, and I'm not really feeling motivated to kick on with it. Likely going to set the game aside now.

It's really just made me want to play through Mass Effect again, so I might go ahead and do that instead.

Rome: Total War finally came out for the iPhone.

The controls are clunky and hard to get used to, but that’s probably because I’m a klutz.

But it doesn’t matter. Now...

Now I can finally live out my warlord tendencies and exterminate people left and right.

Wipe them out. All of them.

Unlimited Power!!!

UNLIMITED

POWAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH

I AM THE SENATE.

Also I immediately got my faction leader killed (Brutii) because I picked a fight with Macedon like, 15 turns in LOLOLOLOLOL

Who would’ve thought an army of Town Watchers would get massacred by them frickin’ Hoplites, amirite?

Bahahaha! Khajiit would probably find that game is a nightmare to play on a phone.
