My Name is Inigo Montoya…

You heard right — “My name is Inigo Montoya. You kill-ed my father. Prepare to e-die.” But when you say that, you’d better be able to back that up. My trapper assassin can take any demon or Level Boss down in a split-second, and that’s what it takes to beat this game, the faster the better.

I’ll explain how to use a game to chill yourself out and maybe even transcend organic life — bear with me a moment, while I give you a little background:

So when those flake children in Congress and the White House and the Supreme Court get finished yanking us around, it all comes down to who’s got the towel, and don’t complain now about it — you were told about the towel after Earth exploded, and again you were reminded about always knowing where your towel is.

Sell Everything & Run Like Hell!

When you see this van in BardoTown, you know you’re safe!

Sell everything and run like Hell. That’s pretty much the philosophy I run when I’m blasting through Normal, but I get slowed down just a bit when I hit Nightmare — usually a result of a definite lack of hardware.

I don’t spend ANY time in the shop. What I find, I use. Improvise and adapt, and take your time working through it. Patience is its own reward.

By the time I’m a level 25, you can be sure I’ve made myself some Stealth Armor with a Defense of around 92. Continue reading

You Can Book a Game with a Legend Pro Player!

If you’ve ever booked a game with a tennis pro or a  golf pro, you know the value of playing with someone who really knows how to rip the tops of heads off the local demons, and that goes double for golf and tennis.

It’s not just another pretty 3d shooter. It’s the eternal never-ending struggle between good and evil, or as some would have you believe, Good and Evil.

The game is in itself irrelevant, and other games are being contemplated. The main idea is to provide folks with a LOT of time on their hands with something not merely interesting, but also challenging, very challenging, on a sliding scale upward into infinity. Continue reading

Why I Re-Created Gorebagg in Diablo 2 Today

 

Kurt Russell signed this photo, one of several dozen cast-signed shots from the production, including original script.
Kurt Russell signed this photo, one of several dozen cast-signed shots from the production, including a signed original script. I’m trying to get Kurt or James Hong to sign one for Amy — it’s her favorite film!

Teena, if you read this, please ask Jim to sign & send photo, thx.

Yep, I did it; I went into ALL my Diablo II accounts and refreshed them, upgraded characters, settled the contents of backpacks and stashboxes, and in some cases took the character up a level or three, to make sure I wasn’t booted out for switching games too fast, although that did happen a few times in spite of my care.

In all, I’ve rescued about a hundred D2 characters, representing some $2,000 in value of what they carry, and another several thousand hours of gameplay over the past decade or more to bring them to that level.

So, they’re all fine, all doing well, none of them lost, none at all, including my level 77 HARDCORE chars in the EUROPEAN server and another 50 HardCore chars on the EASTERN server and still more, about fifty, in the WEST server, so I’m ready when you are to do Bardo Safaris in D2, and to hand out tons of great drops to those who join safaris.

GoreBagg 99 is Back in Town

gorebaggnew99

My deleted level 99, GoreBagg, is back in business, currently sitting at level 91, after a strong opening two weeks ago. Taking my time leveling, I’m also doing a lot of magic find for the folks coming up the line. We’re running lots of D2 safaris now that it’s very clear that we won’t be using D3 anytime soon. Had we known that Blizzard intended to scrub out any vestige of what made D2 charming, we’d have saved ourselves the trouble of the download and install, but we gave D3 a very fair chance — it was Blizzard that wanted to kill the game, and they managed to succeed eminently well. D3 is dead, long live D2.

See You At The Top!!!

Okay, Natasha, Here is Game Plan:

Recognize the phrase? If you watched Rocky & Bullwinkle, you’ll easily recall Boris Badenov’s voice. Here, in fact, IS the game plan for the development of GODD Games:

Diablo III is finally here, after more than two decades in development. Notably, the servers are down again today, this time for five hour or more, while Blizzard irons out the bugs they failed to catch because they never player-tested the game until final release.

To Blizz or Not to Blizz

I say blizz away. diablo three is not horribly unpleasant to play. What you’ll have to get used to is an overabundance of extreme detail and architecture.

My old tired eyes tolerate the dark, muted screens fairly well, at least so far.  We’ll be doing safari in this for a while, so get used to it. Your controls will be more or less the same, and the layout follows the original more or less, so there isn’t much to learn. One thing that might drive you nuts is how to identify a UNID. Merely right-click on the item in your backpack and it’ll miraculously become whatever it is already.
