I still remember my buddy Chris coming over to my place with a copy of this new game called "Diablo." I think it was '96 maybe?
Anyway, we played it for months and months on a couple of 486 machines with 14.4 modems. It was insane. Then the long 5 year wait for Diablo 2...
And then 8 years for Diablo 3. First it was in the works, then it was dead, then maybe not, then for sure dead, then maybe not again, then dead again, then... bam!
I still like to watch this once in a while. I'm not ashamed to admit I actually woke up in the middle of the night to watch the live stream of this announcement.
Edit: I have to say though, I'm probably not as excited about it as I once was. I'm not even sure if I'll even play it when it comes out. I really don't like to get caught up these things too much anymore. Knowing Blizzard, it'll be at least 2 more years anyway.
