Eleven Years...

[JaceArveduin]

Any chance that I can get you to "help" me write some of my papers?

 

[Optiluiz]

Not sure why you referened Blade Runner... but me likey. A few internets to you, good sir.

 

[The Long Road]

If you aren't already in advertising, go there now. A narration of this would have made for a hell of a teaser trailer.

 

[Irradiated Tiger]

That was....wow.

Nice one dude, I salute you.

 

[Randomperson9999999]

i dont really know what to say

good job though

 

[redisforever]

...Wow...

That is all.

Mostly. Never played Diablo, maybe I will. I do love Warcraft 3...Blizzard is good.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

Holy shit dude, that was awesome!

From what I've read you just out excited me for Diablo, well done sir!

 

[Caedus]

Wow. This was an impressive display of faith.

 

[Quantum Star]

I get the feeling that this was supposed to be a thread about Diablo 3, but the OP somehow managed to get sidetracked before he even began typing (by the beta no doubt). Never the less, a very well written...something or other.

 

[Jubbert]

Someone give this man a job at the Escapist.

 

[sms_117b]

Superb mate, just wow

 

[Dogstile]

Ummm, that was pretty profound... good for you I suppose and valve as well...

Erm, Valve? Am I missing something here?

OT: I'm clapping, as that was an interesting read.

 

[BanicRhys]

Too bad I probably won't get to play it until mid next year.

Eleven years...

Eleven years man...

Eleven years is a long time to train. Eleven years is a long time to wait.

In that time i've... seen things, things you people wouldn't believe. I've seen Korean NANO-Commando's drown in their own blood on the white sandy beaches of Lingshan Island. I've finished the fight with the Covenant, stopped the Flood, and witnessed the fall of Reach.

I've stood waste deep in the blood of Zerglings as war once again ignited the Koprulu sector and I broke the swarm. I've beaten the Ceph out of New York, then flown to Vegas to fight the aliens who stole all our chicks only to realize that not only was I all out of gum, but I had become a sad pathetic anachronism without any self identity or redeeming qualities.

I was Left for Dead, then left wanting for more only to be given a sequel, and I raged. Then I was Left for Dead again anyway, because a good game is a good game. I stalked the sewers and ruins of Russia, first in Chernobyl, then into the depths of it's Metro in 2033.

I moved beyond physical products. I embraced digital retail, buying products I'll never hold in my hand but I will always know in my mind. I learned to hate EA, then love EA, then hate EA again, though my hatred for Activision remained eternal. I still partook in some Modern Warfare. Until I was asked to undergo Black Ops - never again.

I broke the Hive Fleet over subsector Aurelia and cleansed the Blood Ravens of their internal corruption. I fought the Orks on Graia, and wielded the Sword of the Stars with the Liir.

And now these memories will disapere... tears... in the rain... Because the Lord of Terror has returned. Because the last battle for Mount Arreat was ultimatly lost, even though Destruction was defeated.

Because at long last, Diablo is returning. And I have not been idle. I have been training. My wrist is strong. My fingers steady. My mind focused.

What sound does a goat man make when you kill it?

A:
Clicky...Clicky...Click.

-is teary eyed- Now that's some real gamer poetry man! I loved every bit of it! It was funny, it was true, it was... committed... You are a true gamer and I solute you.

 

[FieryTrainwreck]

Has it really been eleven years since the last Diablo game?

I know! At this point they could basically re-release the same damn game with a mild facelift and people would still eat it up.

...

 

[thiosk]

Eleven cheers for you, good sir.

Eleven cheers.

 

[TsunamiWombat]

This ones for all the haters out there who gonna keep on hatin. You do what you do boyz, ima be over here clicking on things till they die.

And no, I did not get into Beta and am gloating about it.

 

[Luke5515]

I love you.
I'm going to look up youtube videos of beta testers doing characters.

 

[thelastmccabe]

Haha that was awesome. I never get hyped up for games, but I'm pretty excited about D3.
