Anyone who knew me back in 2000 knows that Diablo 2 was a crack addiction for me back then. Luckily, half the gaming world loved it too, so I wasn't alone in this. I would tell everybody I knew about the game, even if they didn't care at all about gaming in the first place. Some members of my family ward at the time (who will remain nameless, but we'll say they were part of an Inquisition of Ignorance) would disapprove of the game almost to a heretical level because there were demons in the game (lets all just forget that you're the one killing the demons).
So in their quest for global domination, Blizzard decided to give me an FYI on how my social life is going to officially end in a few years by announcing Diablo 3 . The timing of this wasn't very good, because I had to prepare a sunday school lesson that same day and couldn't concentrate.
So why all this Diablo talk? As far as how much a person can like this game is concerned (we're back at Diablo 2 now), I've just met my match and then some. A good friend of mine who has never claimed to be much of a gamer has surprised me by playing it with me and another friend. Normally when we get past a significant point in the game, all of us except him want to take a break. Our brains have turned into jelly, our eyes are red from staring at the screens, and he STILL wants to play! I think our only hope of giving this friend back to his (very patient) girlfriend is to hurry and beat the game ASAP.
Just to prove that I'm not nerdy all the time, here are some pictures of a very sad (yet cute) looking pug done by Christopher Michael .

I don't know what to say about the game, but that dog's sweater is sweet.
I felt my heart die on the last picture. :<
