Oh Diablo II: You are so addictive

The game never shows its age. It is still addictive and lets you kills hours of time. Since I am temporily out of getting tortured from my senior year in university, it gave me some time to do some other stuffs. When I come to BD everytime, I always think of playing Diablo II, I dont know why. Maybe my friends here in BD are mad about Diablo and can spend hours talking about character levelling strategies. I never touched Diablo II during my 4 months stay in US, I touched Sacred II and Dragon Age instead. So today I started resuming Diablo II. I do not know how long I can carry out my Diablo II playthrough during my 1 month stay provided I have my music album to work for, going to wedding ceremonies because its a wedding season now, trying to get build jobs for Habitat for Humanity and work with my friends for the upcoming Imagine Cup. Diablo II is one game where I can get in fast, level up for the time being and get out and do other stuffs. It is like login in Facebook and play Mafia Wars. I guess the reason might be that I carry my save files in my portable hard drive and play anywhere either in my laptop, my desktop or in friend's home along with my friend.

 

So where was I in Diablo II before I left BD in August? Hmm!! Ok! I was a level 79 Necromancer (Summoner/Poison) and a level 36 Sorceress (Meteororb). With the necro I entered the Hell difficulty for the first time. Yes! After 5 years of my Diablo II experience. Why it took so long? Because I had the habit of restarting Diablo with different characters without even continuing with my previous one. Now I fully understand how torturous the hell difficulty is. I pwned everyone from Nightmare difficulty and now I am having a hard time trying to get past Act I in hell because my skeletons do not stand a chance. I am also using a Fire Golem which was a really a bad decision to take. I planned to increase the Poison Nova skill since this is the only last resort. I was like a Spartan in Normal and Nightmare difficulty and now I am just like a Gladiator put into a deadly fight in Rome Colleseum. I need to complete Hell and reach level 99 for the first time in my life. If I restart than its gonna be back to pavilion. So as a backup I am continuing with my sorceress and entered Nightmare. Not to mention I am also trying to get the Trang-Oul and Tal Rasha set and it is freaking hard to get those. I am not giving up. This is the only chance I can get to level 99 with my necro and boost my motivation to play with other characters and reach level 99. Now I should log off now, cause I got some time to play Diablo II before I resume my other works. On my way to glory. When I reach level 99 for the first time I might remix the ending song from Portal, "Still Alive" and may post in noobfeed one day. Since the starting of that song is like "This is the triumph.........."
