Excellent shit man. God, at this point I just want to multi-produce my brain and do 10x at once on launch :(

Me too. I hope none of you guys turns in and plays the game for yourself!
Nah, seriously ... Really don't expect much viewer. I'm just streaming because I can and it doesn't hurt my perfomance. Maybe someone will have a look with his mobile phone ... while he's at work ;p.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
I got 3 co-workers and a few cousins of mine to get the game so I did my part.

Will they like the game is a whole other story though..
Who cares at that point though, right? As long as they've given Blizzard the money, I'm happy :3

That kripp End of Days video is really shameful and embarrassing
Really? He's going for world first hardcore and he has a dedicated (and very knowledgeable) team with him. How is it "embarrassing"?

Is it time yet?

Looking forward to this one. I played Diablo back in the day and then had to skip Diablo 2 since I was deployed overseas several times with the military.
Been on somewhat of a media blackout so I'm sure my mind will melt when I see the game in action come Tuesday.

You aren't put off by a guy so obsessed with a video game that he has 3 computers, 3 internet connections, and an assorted collection of "planned meals" to help him min max his playtime for 16hrs a day? The smug nerd pride thing only makes it worse. The whole video is pretty gross I'm not sure what needs explaining

this show is not Breaking Bad why is it not Breaking Bad? it should be Breaking Bad dammit Breaking Bad
We're your friends now.
I'm in the same boat.

This reminds me of something funny! I remember in Ragnarok ONLINE I had made a spontaneous friends who saved my life. We went deep into the woods, and he suddenly was devoured by a monster.

A few weeks later, I made another friend and we went deep into a deserted area while on the hunt for some monster quest of his. After some terrible pacing, my 'friend' killed me and stole my inventory.

Some friend.

So who wants to perish at the hands of a stranger 'friend'? Remember Stranger, danger!

I'm getting hyped, and I've never played Diablo before.

This thread is highly infectious!

So, what are your plans for this game, I would assume playing once through solo, and then after that playing with friends is the best way to do it, no?

He's just serious about his world first attempt - where's the problem?

You don't really seem to know what's at stake here. But whatever, it's too bad you feel that way. Now go along and play with the cool kids!

Yeah sorry but seriously ... "The best thing about this food is you can eat it with one hand" :eek:

Solo character, and a multiplayer character going at the same time, classes still haven't been decided for me.

Being forced to buy this for a midnight launch lan party and Im not the biggest loot guy. Please let it be $60 well spent.

I personally thought that video was a bit crazy, but in a strangely good way. Looking forward to Kripp smash his way through D3, unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to watch his stream since my PC is probably worse than his 3rd 'backup' PC. ;_;

Is he going for world first? Or is he just streaming the game? If it is for world first, I can understand his set up. Why not show it. Shrug. Not sure I understand why people get worked up by his videos.

Yoshi! Exactly what kind of beer is that? Google is failing me! I've looked up "Apocalyptic Ale" but I've had no luck. Surely I can order this on the internet somewhere. D:

World first inferno clear.

Aside from not liking loot, what else do you not like? D3 I'm sure will give you a great story. Great atmosphere. I think your first play through will be fantastic but then afterwards if you're not into killing bosses for better gear, I guess that's where you'd stop.

What is at stake? Nerd rep?
No, only his career and job. He wins against Athene and he'll get tons and tons of additional subscribers. You do realize it's his job, right?

^ believe it or not some people can appreciate and enjoy video games without becoming a hardcore stereotype

Yea I'm real salty about this dudes habits and desire to be world first. I literally cannot understand how people identify with the guy so much that they can't see what it looks like to people who haven't gotten caught up in the Super Hardcore Diablo Fever thing

If I'm a hater for being uncomfortable that peoples discussions and behavior comes off like worship and ridiculous obsession then that's fine

Where the Fuck does this hate for gaming come from?
Would you say the same if he was preparing for some kind of "normal" sport competition?
Do you hate esports as well?

I think it's just that it's kind of silly to have three internet connections and have planned out meals.

...I mean, that's a little silly.

Edit: Granted, I have planned meals in the sense I know what I'm buying grocery wise so maybe I shouldn't talk.

Well spk, I don't get you so :lol

More people posting their stuff! (OMG, he's already made food before-hand?! How fucking disgusting, he should totally prioritize the important things in his life!)

Why do people camp out for a midnight launch?

Why do people spend hundreds to go to blizzcon or pax?

Why do people camp out for a chance to get someone's autograph?

Why do people play video games for hundreds of hours?

Why do people post on discussion forums?

What is the meaning of life?

Gotta post more man! A great soldier will always be a great soldier, but how does he expect a promotion if he stands in the back of the army?

Haha, I think I used up all my posts in the beta thread! Unfortunately I've only had time to lurk. :( But fear not! I'll be on the front lines when it counts!!!

Also, got to watch Kripparrian's latest prep video. Food is about what I expected! Lol, told you guys he was serious! On a side note I don't know the guy someone was comparing him to earlier, but whenever I see Kripp, this is all I can think about...





I'm seriously waiting for him to say "Giggity!"

Got stocked on my food goodness as well! Apples, bananas, peanuts, green peppers, carrots, orange juice, oatmeal, chicken, stuff for smoothies, water, water and more water. I'll play pretty hardcore, but I don't mind taking a break to toss a piece of chicken in the oven or oatmeal in the microwave.

Come on Tuesday!!!

I completely support people preparing hardcore for games. Some people just like to take a little break and engage in some care free escapism with their love and hobbies.
