Man, this was such a great game at the time — and still is. Minus whatever the hell “EQ Next” is supposed to be. Sony ruins games…period. Still though, back in the day…EQ was where it was at.

Vanguard – I’m back!
It’s been awhile since I’ve played Vanguard. I had quit for awhile there because real life was getting in the way and I felt like I wasn’t making any progress in the game. In fact, I got drunk one day and even tried to write up a “25 reasons to quit Vanguard now” paper…because anybody who plays Vanguard can tell you it’s a love-hate relationship with the game. It’s the greatest “hardcore” MMO out there but nobody knows about it…or gave up on it because of bugs/performance issues.

Warhammer, fix your scenarios
Back in the day when Warhammer first came out, scenarios popped up for us without much waiting at all. You barely had time for a bathroom break before the next scenario popped up. Now, I could wait an hour.

GodsGiftToWomen [Hank's Gallery of Immortals]
I think this was my first character, and first death, in Nightmare difficulty. He was a Hammerdin who got a little overzealous because I had too much confidence in him. I maxed his other synergies that help the main hammer skill and was pumping points into that skill, feeling awesome about how much damage he was doing. I beat Normal difficulty with a necro friend who came with me to Nightmare…and when he went to take a break, I kept on going solo. Once I opened a door to a room full of lightning enchanted monsters that I was a bit too close to, it was over. I didn’t die instantly but I did die pretty fast.

Deathticles [Hank's Gallery of Immortals]
We started to play Diablo 2 again by making hardcore characters. In hardcore, you can’t play the character again if you die…and it’s too easy to die. After playing a character for a few days, collecting items and meticulously planning skill points – when you die, it sucks. Hours and hours spent working on a character amounted to nothing but that little picture above this paragraph in your character select screen. It’s not even a good picture. It should show him with a big keg and Jesus high-fiving him in Diablo Heaven. No, it doesn’t do that. So, I give you Hank’s Gallery of Immortals, a series of posts that commemorates the characters that have given the ultimate sacrifice while trying to keep me and my friends entertained.
