Ok...so technically it was two nights but I put the cape on one more time for the Double XP weekend. I focused on my Storm Offender and got him into level 49. Sometime soon he'll see 50 and that will be my second Hero to that level. After that I have one more Hero and then one Villain to push that far. After that if I never played again it would be ok with me.

Once this game seemed to be my life. Every second of the day I would be there when I wasn't sleeping or something. I ate, dreamt, and wrote it. Now its kinda like picking up a novel you read years ago and thought it was the bomb only to try and reread it and find that it really wasn't what you remembered it to be. In the end I go there now to be social but truely the are other venues to do so and one or two new things I like to do.

It was nice doing it mind you, putting on the cape and maybe reliving a bit of the 'good olde days' but in the end its trying to relive something that will never be as good as it was. Life is like that. New things come along and old things fall away. Evolve or go the way of the dinosaur. I prefer to evolve, not that its easy or painless.

In a way the game really makes me think of the Civil War storyline that Marvel ran. Big things happened. The world changed. Old Heroes died. Innocence was lost and things will never be the same. Sometimes you just have to hang that cape up and let the new breed soldier on.
