Happy birthday to meeee... Wow, I'm 29. I don't care what the real world says, I AM an old fart.
Anyway, there's no real blog today, just a cute Diablo II story. You see, in Diablo II there are an immense number of weapons of all kinds (axes, maces, swords, daggers, polearms, mauls, you name it), and magical ones can have both prefixes and suffixes (which determine their exact powers). So you're forever finding Shocking Mauls of the Leech and Mechanic's Daggers and Steel Blade Talons and Weird War Swords of Anthrax and stuff like that.
But the other day, I was looking around in the shops, and I see a polearm for sale. And when I move my mouse over it, I see that it is a:
Weird Bill.
I was in love. I SO want a weapon named 'Weird Bill'.
"Hi, my name is Ochiba, and this is my polearm, Weird Bill. We're really squicked to meetcha!"
On a side note: one of these days, when I meet a certain IRC personage in real life for the first time, I AM going to tell him I'm really squicked to meet him. And then beam happily. Poor sonovobitch won't have a clue.
Anyway, I'm going to go to Easton Easton Easton Easton Easton this afternoon and have a nice birthday dinner and spend altogether too much money at the Virgin Records Megastore. No, of course that part of town isn't REALLY named Easton Easton Easton Easton Easton. That's a story for another day.
Oh, and Psuzan? I AM a Heisenberg person.

Happy Birthday! ^_^ And There Was MUCH Rejoicing! Yaaay!!
I should ask my friends about this, since they play Diablo II....a lot....actually, too much maybe. Me, I'm probably nver going to start (my comp can't support it anyway. :P)
The fever has spread, true. Last year in EGM, for "Milkman"'s profile, it said in part: "Milkman's girlfriend keeps using the word 'marriage' in conversations; Mlkman keeps using the words 'Diablo II' in conversations; STALEMATE!!" LOL
I'm rambling... *sweat drop*

My problem with d2 was that I always felt that metal and leather should not go together.
