As I might have mentioned before, I might not be here in the World of
WoW today had not Nik been playing Diablo2:LOD when he was 3 years old
back in 2003 and asked me to come and help him. Nik had been playing
several PC games and oftimes would have me join in when things got out
of hand or too non-understandable for him. Diablo2 was on the PC
because my stepson was playing, online nonetheless with a modem. Poor
kid.

Anyway I sit down and start playing the Diablo2 for him and I'm
starting to think 'Hey this is a pretty good game". A few days later I
created my first Single Player Diablo2 toon, Shythed.

I eventually found my way to alt.games.diablo and then to the realms
and Nik was there with me on my journey. Spent some time in hardcore
for a bit of time but with kids in the house and dupers spamming the
ping-waves I headed back to softcore and saved hardcore play for the
early AM when the servers were very quiet. On one journey to Uber
Tristram and the lesser Ubers earlier that night Nik was close by and I
let him take the reins and lay a hurting on a few of the ubers. Nik is
a Slayer of Ubers. He hollered in screamed in Baal's thorne room and
helped take out Baal in Hell with my friendly neighborhood agd pals.

Nik has some Warcraft toons but I put them on a different server. Now
with two accounts in the house there may be a day when he has a toon on
one of them and running around the Llane server with me or his mom. He
is there oft-times watching me and giving me "advice" and encouraging
me to fight certain monsters, join up with certain friends, go to the
goblin city, and even things like going and talking to certain NPCs. He
has helped me raise weapon skills by runnign Zamqinysyn through a low
zone for me while I cook some exquiste spagheti sauce.

My toon being one kill away from 60, I could let Nik control the keys.
I have a few friends who want to be there to witness it. Zam could kill
one ghost at Gharrons on white damage alone. Just have to make sure it
is pulled into an area where no adds can come in. But I'll tell Nik to
hit a certain key to pop up the Bloodrage or hit em with a Heroic
Strike. I think he can manage that.

I'll sit there with my finger near the print screen key and hit it the
second it looks like that ghost is going down.

I think I should seriously consider letting Nik do this. I think it
will be fun.

Three cheers for Nik!!

OH! OH! OH!
