It's almost 4 in the morning and I'm still up, which could mean only one thing. Shit, I'm back on D2, the crazy never ending game that sent many people over the edge and flushed their grades down the toilet bowl. Despite a 4 year hiatus, it feels like I've never been gone. Sure, the servers are a little more dead now, but everything that makes it quintessentially D2 is still present. Fruitful night. Levelled up a bit and made a new friend, LazyFatAss.
One thing I love about the game is the feel of control I get when playing. From the third person view, it's as if you have possessed your character, controlling every movement. And yet, having to take care of it, although detached from you, as each hit it receives brings a jolt to the senses. Teleporting, throwing blizzard spells is a little like writing poetry, albeit with a clumsy hand, with my haphazardly put together gear
Think I better not do this again. Thing about playing so deep into the night; instead of feeling sleepy, I'm wide awake now. Game sure is better than smoke or drink but nonetheless equally addictive.
SHUTUP ALL YOU HELLGATE LOVERS WHO THINK THAT THE CREATORS OF D2 MADE HELLGATE. HELLGATE NEVER WAS AND NEVER WILL BE.
