Screw the haters Yoshi! You're making the wait a lot more bearable and entertaining!

For someone who has NEVER played a Diablo game, would it be just wrong for me to go into D3 willy nilly? I mean not even reading the backdrop, not playing D2 (I have it), not reading a Wiki. Just BOOM, entering the world of Diablo on Tuesday for the first time ever.

Your missing the point. The guy is an accomplished MMO raider with some serious feats under his belt over the years. There are many other accomplished gamers that want to be the first to beat Diablo 3 on Inferno. I'm sure they all have their own personal reasons, but the thing is, they are all making it a competitive game by vying for that world first.

I'll repeat my opinion, one more time. Kripp is a bit arrogant, but it's all in good fun. He a top tier player from World of Warcraft and has proven himself multiple times in world rankings. He's methodical, precise, prepared and enjoys what he does. Many people have enjoyed the videos he has made over the years. He is trying to step it up a notch with the release of D3 and become a much larger part in the gaming public's eye as it's what he loves. I'm assuming he is looking to make a bit of a career out of it as he is now sponsored by curse and partnered with youtube and Diablo 3 will probably be a large stepping stone into making that happen.

That's all. The guy wants to be the best and believes in knowledge and preparation. It's certainly at a much higher level that I would or could ever try at this point in my life, but I certainly don't begrudge the guy for trying to achieve his goals. Even if those goals align or don't align with what I deem appropriate life goals for myself.

*Sorry wasn't trying to drag this out, took me a bit to type it and the thread is moving quick!

Ya just got into watching his D3 stuff never heard of him before. I am learning shit and it's nice going into game knowing at least some stuff. He might be arrogant but at least I am learning stuff.

I'm going to be going to bed in the middle of the afternoon tomorrow so that I can do some serious Diablo-ing. I'm not... so sure how that's going to work but it'll happen.

Well I haven't had an 8 hour sleep for ages... but I'm going to try and do it this time! The more I sleep, the closer to the launch I get... and I've got literally nothing to do tomorrow.

It's the story that you'll be missing out on. But there are "in x minutes" that summarize the story so far on Youtube. I need to grab a link

Finally getting around to pre-downloading it now. Kinda weird that Amazon still hasn't charged my card for the CE. I mean, I paid for half of it with an Amazon gift card when I preordered it but, I still haven't been charged for the other half yet.

I dont actively hate on these folk, so you wont see any posts from me complaining or whining, but i certainly don't envy them. I kinda view the whole "job" of playing games as an act of desperation honestly. I think people are free to do as they will but if they are going to put there faces everywhere on the internet then they better brace for the impact from the people that are gonna hate. No need to defend these guys. If they cant handle they dont belong doing it.
Click to expand...

For some it's an act of desperation, for others it becomes a reasonably well paying job. And props to you for not actively hating.

What you say about them having to be able to handle the hate that's more than certainly coming their way is also true.

What is silly though is what some people seem to be doing, which is coming to a thread that's pretty much all about hype for D3 and saying that having passion for the game is lame. It's ironic how they don't realise how silly it is. I'm not defending the hardcore guys, I don't think they need defending. I'm just pointing out that coming to a hype thread to say how what some devoted players are doing makes you sad is pointless unless you're fishing for some pity.

You have reached the levels of enlightment required to see how stuff that's fun for other people isn't really fun and shouldn't be entertaining for them? Yeah, well, good for you, hope you're having fun in your 'rational' world. Don't really see how not seeing fun where others do makes your world a better place, but hey, as long as it works for you...

If someone is going 'hardcore' in a way that will have an adverse effect on his health then yeah, it could be labeled as sad. But I don't see what's so harmful about having a healthy sleeping/gaming schedule and a well thought out diet - if anything, this is what all the sweets+crisps+red bull for extended periods of time people should look up to :)

Some of these posts are confusing me.

The game wont be playable for like another 30 hours correct?
Click to expand...

The game goes up 12:01 AM PDT (US), 12:01 AM CEST (Europe), and 12:01 AM CST (Asia). I assume you're in the US since you're saying 30 some hours? It goes up 27 hours, 30 minutes from now for us.

Edit: I think that's 12:01 AM UTC-7, 12:01 AM UTC+2, and 12:01 AM UTC+8? Something like that. Asia is up first, then Europe after 6 hours, then the US after 9 more hours.

I have plenty of shows to watch to make it okay.

Fringe, Glee, Modern Family, Alcatraz, Game of T's, Community, House, and more.

Unfortunately we are almost done with all of the shows until the fall season, where it all begins anew for me with Dexter. :D

R.I.P House :(

Plus who needs shows when Diablo 3 hits?
