…Well, yes, I have no excuse for that, really: I had merely gotten to the last board in the expanded version with my Necromancer and was busy playing bang-bang-bang-Scroll of Town Portal-breathe-bang-bang-bang when the computer crashed. I stopped playing in frustration for just long enough for it to get caught up in the ‘upgrading the computer cycle’ fallout.
Anyway, they’re coming out with Diablo III, and I feel vaguely ashamed that I never finished Diablo II. Yes, I know, I know: this is from last November.
I was busy with the birth of my second kid, ‘kay?
Console yourself (that’s rather punny in this context!) with Torchlight in the meantime. $10 regular price, though I got it for $5 in a Steam sale. Should help scratch that Diablo itch!
So I take it you didn’t get into the StarCraft II Beta?
I have to second the recommendation for Torchlight, its the best Diablo clone out there. Probably because it was made by the guys who did the first Diablo game.
And Starcraft II is in beta, too. I’ve been waiting 7-8 years for that one. Looks good, too.

A buddy of mine got in the SC2 beta, he’s really enjoying it. Me? I’m just saying no, since theyr’re charging $60 for a third of a game. I’ll wait til it’s under $50 for the whole game, if that ever happens.
