psycho paladin

July 3rd, 2002 · 10 Comments

Well, so far I killed Timmy for an item (that’s what you get for getting trapped in a well, you runt!), I’ve murdered over a hundred sleeping villagers (they were undead! honest!), gone against my commanding officer’s wishes (fah! what does he know!), and I’m about to go burn my fleet to the ground so my men can’t desert me (fools! no one leaves without my say!).

And that’s just chapter one!

Ahhhh. The sounds of WarCraft III ring through the air. I *heart* Blizzard. My paladin is psycho, and his name’s not even Gabriel!

    Heh. I’m hip-deep in the NWN editor, learning how to make cool adventures . . . So, WC3 is cool, eh?

    Let’s put it this way: if you liked StarCraft, you will really like WarCraft III.

    Which is about what you can say with any Blizzard game. "Did you like Diablo? Well, you’ll LOVE Diablo II!"

    It’s nothing new and innovative, it’s the same formulas but greatly improved upon. And in this case it’s very satisfactory.

    Ah, so blizzard did mention to get WC3 out on time! That’s actually quite creepy…it took almost 2 years for Diablo2 to come out.

    I let my boyfriend borrow $50 to get WC3, he’ll be happy to know its actually out :D

    You know, I never played Diablo 2.

    . . . or StarCraft, for that matter. Heresy, I know.

    Actually, Warcraft III was not out on time. It was due quite some time ago, with significantly different features, which they pitched most of. And, typical of Blizzard, took twice as long to do it.

    …but who cares? The game’s out, and great from what I hear. I want it.

    Yes, WCIII is way over deadline. Blizzard is good at that, too. :P What’s really amusing is that the catalogue that came with the game lists 2003 as the release date for Worlds of WarCraft. We all got a good laugh out of that one.

    $50 also won’t get you the game unless you do some careful shopping around. My copy was $60. :\

    But then, it’s also the only game I’ve bought since Dungeon Siege. I may be broke, but I’ve got a bitchin’ fleet of meat wagons behind me.

    No…more…games… I haven’t even had time to finish MMIX or Dungeon Siege ;p

    But StarCraft…now there’s a nifty idea eh? I’ve been wanting to play that again for ages.

    You long for combat? :)
    Scott! Shame on you. I would tell you to go out and play StarCraft immediately, but you might as well just play WC3 instead.

    And Diablo II, but… well, heck. Until Blizzard does another one, there *isn’t* a better game in that subgenre, no matter how many have tried.

    I want a Cyberpunk Diablo… ;)
