Stay a while and listen...

While we patiently (and impatiently!?!) wait for the release/unleash of this game, here are some D3 parody and other YouTube links.
You may have seen them already, but I think they're entertaining enough to see again.

Liked that Tristram video, especially since I geeked out in both the D2 beta and the D3 beta when I got to Tristram and walked around trying to see what I could recognize.

There's supposed to sometimes be an anvil in Griswold's old smithy which may or may not do something.

There is an anvil there every now and then I've seen it in beta. You can also get a mushroom by Adria's hut sometimes too. Neither is always there, but I can confirm that they can be there.

Is it a big black mushroom?!

Yes in fact it is and there is some audio associated with it too.

Oh fantastic! Is it the actual "Buh" type sound like when you moved it around in your inventory in D1? I still know that sound and I still remember Adria being pissy while saying "It's a big BLACK mushroom!" at me.

I still get chills when I hear the music from Tristram

Here's a link for some dose of nostalgia, Bolty and Tal -

How many Matt Uelmen music besides "D1: Town" and "D2: Tristram" can you recognize on the Playlist (scroll down to original D1 & D2 soundtrack)?

D1: Caves
D1: Hell

D2: Coda
D2: Roger and me

D2 LOD: Baal
D2 LOD: Fortress
D2 LOD: Halls
D2 LOD: Ancients
D2 LOD: Siege
D2 LOD: Ice Caves


BTW, can someone tell me how to include embedded video in a post?

OD'ing on game nostalgia after a decade+ of clean, game-free period *sigh*,

Diablo 2 - The "REAL" Tristram
(Diablo 2 with the map of classic Diablo -- well no DIII but as a reply to "Diablo - Tristram: A Comparison (Diablo 1, Diablo 2 & Diablo 3)")


Include videos by using the most right (right-most?) icon in the editor bar, a TV with some antenna.

Ah, this cracked me up so much when I first heard it.

Diablo III Armors (big item spoilers).

Now, look at that and tell me the graphics on D3 aren't HORRENDOUSLY outdated. Just saying!

I guess if you want every game to look like Crysis, then maybe it's outdated, but, that's all a matter of opinion. Blizzard tries to have stuff accessible to older computers, and that's worked well for them in the past.

Graphics isn't the draw to D3 anyway.

(My patience with the "Blizzard sucks but I'm buying it anyway' mindset is limited anyway. If Blizzard is so bad and so evil, vote with your wallet and don't pay them. Otherwise, you're just annoying. )
