Marksman Redux

One of our favorite pastimes is a kick-ass MMO called Hellgate: London, a futuristic, Diablo-like game with great graphics and lots of neat bad guys.  I’ve been playing a character called a “Marksman”, who is basically a guy with a big gun (insert phallic joke here), but late last week the folks at Flagship Studios decided to roll out a new patch making my character a sissy.  They changed the skill tree to sort of spread out the Marksman’s skills such that it’s very hard to concentrate your abilities in one place, and simply decreased the effectiveness of…well, nearly everything.  Pricks. Regardless of this, using some clever strategy (e.g., running away a lot) and lots of firepower, and even more stubbornness, we killed one of the “big bad guys” in the game last night, a huge creature called “Moloch”: 

Today, perhaps, we take on the other big bad guy, apparently called The Dessicrator.  Where do they come up with this shit?  Anyway, boo on Flagship for making my guy a milkmaid, but the game is still fun.  Bye Moloch–R.I.P. (rest in pieces…)
