Today, I got nostalgic, and fired up some music from Mercy Island and Atlas park. I'm not sure whether or not I regret the decision. What I am sure of, is that I genuinely broke down and cried. There's not a lot of games, or game music, that can make me that sentimental. The last game to ever do it to me was Mother 3.
It doesn't help that I've been on a rather huge nostalgia-trip in general lately, playing a lot of really old, but really good games. Super Mario Bros., Mega Man 2, System Shock 2, Black & White, Dungeon Keeper 2, Freedom Force, Morrowind... I love 'em all and I love periodically revisiting them, just to remind myself of where I've come from when it comes to video games.
But... there's a part of my video gaming history, a very important part, though I didn't realize it at the time, that I can't revisit now, thanks to NCsoft. That being City of Heroes.
Also, since the last time I posted in this thread... Dungeon Fighter Online was shut down on this side of the Pacific. So now I've lost my Berserker too, the weaponized-blood madman that was there for me when CoH shut down. If that wasn't bad enough, a couple servers I played on for other games closed up too.
I'm starting to wonder if I'm cursed.
... I want my office in Cap Au Diable back.
