Diablo III

Yep, I’m hooked. I pre-ordered this game and have been playing, literally, from May 15th.

I remember I played Diablo when i was small. A friend had the games and we used to play together. Diablo II: Lord of destruction is the game I remember the most, I used to play druid and I miss him in Diablo III (the Which Doctor class is kind of like the Druid class from Diablo II but not the same).

The class I play the most in Diablo III is Wizard and until to day I think I have several Wizard heroes but I decided to delete them and have mainly one.

Considering that I have my first oral exam on Friday I really shouldn’t play right now, but I’m absolutely hooked. I love, love, love this game, and I’m currently finishing off Act III (a little slow since I’ve been playing on several heroes). The Public game function is frequently used on all my heroes except the main wizard (whom is in the screen shot above).

As for the hard-core function I’m really liking that one too, but then I prefer to use a monk as the wizards are more or less unable to block any incoming attacks and loses life faster than…. I don’t know what.

Do you play Diablo III? What do you think of it?

If you want to feel free to add me as friend BattleTag: Lindea#2236 (I’m playing on both Europe and Americas, but mostly on Europe.)

Summer reading madness

Day 17: Shortest book you’ve read

I was going to say “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” by Fitzgerald but then I remembered that I’ve read “Bilbo’s last son” by J.R.R. Tolkien (32 p.)

Day 16: Longest book you’ve read

According to Goodreads the longest book I’ve ever read is  Shakespeare’s collected works.

Day 15: First “chapter book” you can remember reading as a child

I think the first “Chapter book” I read as a child was… I don’t know… I don’t think we read Chapter books because my portents read to me until I could read the books by myself and I was a member of a horse-book-club from a very young age (started riding when I was between four and five years).

I think maybe a Norwegian book called “Ingen gråter i himmelen” (Nobody cried in heaven) is the first book I read on my own, or maybe the seventh book or so in the Heartland-series.

Day 14: Book whose main character you want to marry

Mr. Darcy? I know he’s not really the main character, but I figured I’ve read few books with male main characters (main as in the main character from whose perspective we see the story or the story is narrated by, my interpretation ‘main character’ is that there is only one main character but there can be many leads or majors, if that makes any sense) and those I have I wouldn’t like to marry…

So lets got with Pride and Prejudice’s Mr. Darcy.

Day 13: Book whose main character is most like you

“Sometimes people use thought to not participate in life.”
― Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

I guess I’m much like Charlie in “The Perks of Being a Wallflower,” I think to much and I stand on the side-line. The only thing I like to do is writing and it’s almost the only think I do. And when I’m not writing I think about writing and I think too much to ever get anything done.

Day 12: Book that is most like your life

Another hard one to find because I prefer to read books where I can be in a different world than my boring life. I guess I have to say “The Art of Forgetting” by Camille Noe Pagàn or any other “coming of age”-story.

Day 11: Book from your favorite author

There’s so many books I would like to put in this post… but I think I’ll say “The Thin Executioner” by Darren Shan, I really, really, liked that book and I think it kind of reflects our society in a burlesque way even though it is a fantasy book, and I liked the moral of it and I think it’s a very good Children’s and young teens book.

Day 10: Book that changed your life

I can’t say that there’s been a book that have changed my life yet, but I guess all books influence my opinion on the central topic of the book.
