I thought it was sad that no one at all posted at all yesterday on the D2 forums.....end of an era and all that..
but it reminded me of something that I saw in MVC (music/dvd/games shop) t'other week..
I think it was actually when I was in there buying Dungeon Seige (ptoo!), 3 kids around 8-10 yrs old came in a started looking at the PC games (which i found odd as they usually head for the GayStation2 or GamePube section), one of them grabs D2X and holds it above his head... it went summink like this after that...
kid 1. "yes theyve got"
kid 2. "cool.. im gonna be an assasinator"
kid 3. "im going be a bear"
kid 1. "doesnt matter, my pal-ar-din will kick then both in"
kid 3. "well ive got all rare clothes, and ive killed Diablo"
kid 2. "oh look theres a picture of a Amozon"
kid 1. "they are cool, ive got megashot arrow on mine"
...now at this point i was going to interject and explain to these budding D2xers that they really would need to consider guided arrow for their zon builds in the expansion pack to cope with the PIs and how a hybrid of the furyzon and bowazon is a very popular build, a good runner,mfer and fast leveller, but thought better of it...
there maybe few of us of D1,D2 players still mooching around in Harrogath but maybe the next gen of Chargeadins, WW barbs and Zoo keepers aint far behing us.... or maybe not...
However If (or when i should say) D2/D2x is released on budget.........
