Things and Stuff
Having realised that the end of the year is rapidly approaching and that my goals for the year are seriously out. (read - never going to happen) I have decided to come up with a list of stuff that I would like to have made a serious dent in by the beginning of 2007. Of course, this may not happen, but miracles do occur.
1 - Get a colour scheme for my eldar and paint the squad of guardians. (11 models) depending on how well this goes I may try to paint more stuff, but diabloing is interferning in this.
2 - Redo my website. I was all excited when I started, and haven't done a thing on it for a year. it's definitely time to add some content.
3 - Sort out the CMON painting guide.
4 - Make some inroads into the diablo 2 goals. This is going to be the easiest one to do. That's why it's on here.
5 - At least start some form of exercise regimen. sitting around blobbing is not all that helpful
So, with all of those set out clearly it will remain to be seen how they pan out.
In other news, it's diablo 2 update time.
I've taken a screenshot of my sept characters. it can be found here Some explanations. The Conqueror title in front of the necro's name means that he has finished Nightmare. Finishing normal gives you Slayer, while defeating hell gets Guardian. All the characters other than the Necro are still languishing in act 1 normal and have either completed the first or the first and second quests.
As far as the grail goes. The printout for that can be found here This lists all the items available in the game, together with all the runse, runewords, gems, potions and quest items. The only ones that are used for the grail are the uniques and set items, but I think I may include the runes as well. just for the hell of it.
in summary
Uniques 25/377 Sets 16/127 Runes 11/33
Total 52/537 or 9.68%
Not great, but almost one tenth of the way there.
And NDE is an accepted D2 TLA. although most of the D2 acronyms are only 2 letters. (CE, LE, MS, ES, DS, RS, SM, etc)

Sounds hectic dude.
I'm still bumbling around a lot trying to figure out the game. Fun so far though :). I think my sorceress character is at level 14 now. Fireball is amusing!
Crikey, that's a lotta acronyms...
That's not even half the acronyms.
A couple of things:
Your list of stuff to do before 2007 -- add NaNoWriMo. It's not too late to sign up, and you'll end up with the usual results (you should get a hammer -- it might help. Hmm? Maybe I should get a hammer, except I already have a hammer and my results aren't looking that good at the moment. Perhaps more hammers will help.)
Yip. That's pretty much how my story is going at the moment (when it is going) -- ramble.
But back to the point:
Thing 2: re: sept character screenshot
What happens if you press the delete character button?
Thing 3:
I don't get this collect them crusade you're on. Monster is confused.
I mean, once you've collected this grail thing, then what? Do you get a prize or something from the Diablo Elder-type personages?
Neil: Hammers are always good. One can never have too many hammers. Perhaps you should get some beans, too?
Thing 2: Bad things. Don't press that button.
Thing 3: No (well, I don't think so, Gareth can correct me if he wants). I think the appeal is just in playing the game in the most complete fashion possible. I've noticed that it does tend to exacerbate any OCD tendencies you might have. Probably the reason there's still such a huge D2 fanbase (as evidenced by diabloii.net).
