@leasta: Baal runs! nooooooooo!  good god I did way to many of those :)  For some reason, I keep playing Torchlight (with mods) instead of reinstalling D2 when I need my good ol' fix.  

Ooo, picked up P3P today too!  Anyone else get it today?  Been wearing my silly hat all day too :)

I'm playing D2 with the Plugy mod. It basically gives you the same ladder abilities (über tristam, pandemonium event, ladder runewords and equipment) but for SP as well. Plus an enhanced Character statistics plus extended chest, which are all awesome. 

I'm probably getting P3P next month, since I can only buy one more game this month and DQIX is a priority to me

Ill have to go check out the Plugy mod.  It has been well over 2 years since I played D2 (did some MP with friends of mine).  

I gotcha on DQIX over P3P.  I think it was your third right? Favorite Franchise?  That thread really made me think hard on gaming.  After all that thought, there was no doubt in my mind that SMT (all of them including Personas) are my second favorite franchise ( I tried VERY hard to keep it to not dead franchises.  Only included Homeworld cause Ritual has said they want to make another game.  That and I absolutely LOVE HOMEWORLD 1/2 and the expansion).  

Besides, after P3P I am playing Sands of Destruction on my DS.  I am looking forward to comparing the game with the Anime.

If both you and mjk45 decide on reinstalling D2 (and I can get a good internet connection again), maybe we can all do a ladder run. Has been a while since I done one, last one probably was on 1.11.

Yup, Dragon Quest is my overall third favourite franchise. There isn't a single game in the franchise that has dissapointed me yet (from the ones i've played, including spin-offs). Probably it out-edged SMT by a bit, because of Dragon Quest V, which to me has the best story ever created in a JRPG. 

How far are you on sands of destruction? I haven't played it the past few days because I got hooked on Yu Gi Oh 5D's 2009 (it gave me tons of ideas to update my RL Dragon Deck).
