I have seen the Wind Staff in action several times, but never actually used it. Looks pretty beast though.
Yeah, I loved playing zombies back in the W@W days, but was not completely hooked on it, and just played it every now and again, but when Shi No Numa and Der Riese came out, I slowly fell in love with the characters, and began taking in their quotes and one liners.
Along with stuff strewn across the map, and people discussing it in public lobbies and on the CoDZ forum, I realized there was much more to it, and I was instantly hooked.
When BO1 dropped, I was hooked on it, and it took over my gaming life completely. I bought all DLC on release day, and was on the BO1 forums all the time.
BO2 still has the same amount of discussions and theories going on, but the story lacked as depth, and never had the same magic sparkle that was present in discussions during the BO1 days.
Shame.
