Keep in mind that the store clerks are paid about minimum wage, and have to sell buttloads of pre-orders and “extended warranty packages” (aka extra money tacked onto the price that the customer will most likely never benefit from) jsut to keep their crappy jobs. On top of that, the usual soccer mom types will drop the kids off at the game store to get free babysitting while they go shoe-shopping, or have their nooner with the cute tennis pro. Considering what the poor jerks at the store have to put up with, it’s only amazing that they don’t start shooting everything and everyone in sight.

Heh… I thought I was the only one that still played this game. But the fact that so many still play it now and then is just a testament to how great this game is. I just wish there was a way to push the rez a bit higher. It would rock if I could play it at the native rez on my 20″ widescreen LCD.

I’m actually currently working a lvl 73 Bowazon through Act 3 of Hell difficulty. Lemme know when you’re playing and I’d be happy to run you through a few boss battles Scott.

Don’t forget to click the purple gem until you get the “Mooo!” in your chat window. You’re supposed to get better drops.. or more elites.. or more gold. You’re supposed to get -something-, right?!

But seriously now, one of my favorite games. Possibly the one I spent the most time playing. Here’s to my fellow hardcore players!

Diablo 2 – Classic that has to be picked up and played every once in a while.

I remember wasting many months to both Diablo 1 and 2 plus expansions back in my day. All the grind of an MMORPG hoping that the final part of a set would drop even though it was now too weak to use in the game. I still have nightmares about extra strong triple shot lightning enchanted bosses.

If you still need that sort of fix get Titan Quest and its expansion off Steam. It might as well have been called Diablo 2.5.

That’s when you tell the kid the game might be a little scary and let him know it’s ok to ask a grown up to get it if he’s afraid. If the kid knew about games at all he should’ve been raving about how much fun Diablo was/is; that’s why the game is still available at a lot of stores. Then tell him Guitar Hero is just DDR for people who can’t dance.

It’s a damn shame how quickly games (and software in general) disappear from the shelves once it is ‘old’.
At least you have a chance of finding stuff like Diablo 2, but I doubt you can find anything that was made in the same year …

Yit Said,
“Well, you own it. You can legally torrent it.”
Sadly, no you can’t.
