Hey everyone I got bored at work (again) and decided to finally introduce myself here. I joined at the week of the teaser to post something, had been lurking for a few times before that.
About me:
I'm a 25 year old man from Finland. Been gaming since 5 year old or something with MSX and later on with c64 and amiga500 and ofc PC. Atm i'm studying to be a software engineer, 1 year left of studies. Hopefully finished with school before D3 comes out
My Diablo history:
I didn't have computer (except amiga500) back in the days when first Diablo came, so I never really played it that much. I think I was about 13 years old and I was at my friend and he had this game and I tried a bit with the warrior and thats about it. Later I bought the platinium edition of the game and played it trough with sorcerer. I have to admit it was still a bit scary game even after many years of D2
Then I got computer at 16 years of age when I went to high school. I used to play games like Re-volt, unreal tournament and some that I don't even remember. Oh well then it was year 2000 and I wasn't much home at the summer time and I had totally forgotten the whole Diablo game. Soon after schools started at August I heard about Diablo2 and friend had a copy of it and I just wanted to check it out.. first time I tried it was in school LAN and it was so amazing, I remember going thru TP with those crappy school computers and it lagged so bad that I got killed by a gargantuan beast. Few weeks later I bought the game _but_ I didn't have internet back at that time. Or I did have modem but phone bills would have been crazy. So a few times I went back to the same friend that introduced me to Diablo 1 and first time I played D2 in battle.net which was an amazing experience.
I finally got a better internet(ISDN) that allowed free connection during 5pm-7am so I was able to play _ALOT_. Basically the last 2 years of high school went by playing mostly d2 Most memorable times were before LOD when there was a tight but somewhat big hardcore community and we had a lot of finnish guys playing hardcore.
After Diablo:
So it was 2003 and I went to army and I didn't have internet at that time.. I spent 1 year there and after that I got new computer and took internet again. Well this time a lot had changed no more same friends in battlenet. A few of them still played and many of them quit soon. I guess many old timers had been consumed by the easyness of LOD. I got a few guys back there to play Classic and which turned out to be quite fun in 1.09.
Then it was 2004 december and I didn't play much D2 anymore but suddenly I just noticed old friend talking about wow and said about go sign up for open beta. Well I did and omg that was something new to me, I loved it! So I started playing WoW then almost every day till expansion came. I started with TBC and leveled to 70 but then it started to bore me first time. Well I had some months of break and found a better guild. Ok this was fun again and played a little over 1 year with them and now I'm at a break again mostly because the game is pretty much explored for me and also boring. But also slightly because the announcement of D3
Diablo3:
Well what can I say, I was so confident that it was going to be D3 when the teasers started damn I was excited. I made sure I was there to watch the live stream from WWI and OH yes it waas diablo 3 and it was SO NICE with the barbarian and all. Can't remember when last time I had that kind of feelings. Finally a replacement for Wow and a good one.(even tho it started to feel like I rather play even D2 than wow now)
While waiting for Diablo 3 I will most likely play Diablo2 this ladder quite a lot but perhaps I go back to wow when WotLK comes and check out those areas there. And I will also test some starcaft 2 most likely.
You will most likely see me posting a lot of stuff about vanilla D2 (before LOD) and classic stuff since thats the part of the game I seriously enjoyed. Not to say LOD was all that bad.. the start was really nice but mostly because there was all the players that were also in Pre-LOD HC and after all friends and community is what makes the game good.
Oh the nickname akse? Well its a long story. I was pretty new to internet games and nicknames etc. We were at high school and the same group we played D2 in lan we actually started with playing starcraft in LAN. That was pretty awesome at the time and at the first time I also joined with them to play I watched in the game screen that hey these guys had some funny nicknames like "Hoppeli", "Scavenger" etc. so I just came up with something and the first version was actually Aksemoni, but I just shortened it to akse.
It just came from my mind but I guess it has something to do with my realname which is Aki.. and many who has Aki name around here also get called Aksu but not me actually so I just kinda twisted it and added the moni suffix also
I actually changed it to shorter akse when I made another account in D2.
