Aaaah, the new Diablo episode was really enjoyable - genuine Deathstalker material. You know, I was a little worried about your encounter with the Skeleton King, but you handled it very well. I knew you'd face him from the very beginning of your first episode, due to some signs I noticed in town (knowing how the game's quest generation system works can allow you to predict some quests, and the Skeleton King is one of the easiest to predict). And you have some pretty good gear so far. Dominus is doing some pretty good mentoring - don't forget to give him a few gold pieces.

You know what, I'm curious what would happen if I am active in that Elder Scrolls FB group I saw, but I'd be posting mainly about Arena and Daggerfall (not that I have any knowledge of other parts). Most people there are Oblivion and Skyrim fans, so it would be interesting to see how they'd react to being exposed to the weird ancient past of the series. I can already taste the "stop wasting your time and go straight to Skyrim" replies :P

I mostly play campaigns in strategy games, though I do skirmishes sometimes too. I prefer campaigns because they offer more unusual stuff - asymmetrical maps, all sorts of layouts for the enemy base(s) and defenses, and of course some story elements. Not every RTS has a story worth following, but those that do are quite enjoyable.

While it is true that you're covering stuff that people wouldn't even think of touching, I believe all knowledge has some value... knowledge is its all reward. And therefore you are doing a good thing, something that needs to be done because no one else will. And if no one does it, then this knowledge would simply be lost for all time, and nobody wins. By preserving this knowledge, you have achieved some small victory, even if people won't aprpeciate it in this day and age. But maybe some day they will. Who knows...

(wow, I get so philosophical late at night)

You are right abotu stability - I highly value having it in my life... and yet occasionally I get this yearning for something crazy to happen. I don't know why, maybe it's an echo from that crazy kid I used to be, always taking risk for the sake of fun, with little to no regard for his own safety. This must be why I enjoy my annual trips to the wild so much - it's a rare moment when I can put aside my stable and refined life and just get in touch with my primal side, the one that used to drive me so much as a child... It's like a mighty energy recharge. But after recharging I go back to the stability, of course :P
