For those not in the know, last night was Destructoid's first foray in to the word of Diablo II as a team. Well teams, plural would be more appropriate, as our call to arms against the forces of evil generated quite a few Dtoiders joining our ranks. The following community members partook in our epic event:

[Destructoid Diablo II Team One]

Shipero= HOST
Y0j1mb0 .. Hey, that's me :D
Silverdragon1979
Counting Conflict
The Big Z
ceark= BOOO.. he was a no show!
DarkTravesty
GoS-CPT-Stewart


[Destructoid Diablo II Team Two]

The Bez
king3vbo=HOST
EarthbounderNess
Shawnzzy
kork
casual weaponry
killsmooth

As you can plainly see, I was on Destructoid Diablo II Team One. What follows next is a playful recap of sorts, by way of snippets of conversation that were had between us, as we sliced our way through the bowels of evil. Again this only entails Destructoid Diablo II Team One. For a peek of the misadventures of Destructoid Diablo II Team Two you will need to go elsewhere. Perhaps an upcoming recap blog??

So without any further build up:


Top Things Overheard last night while playing DIABLO II with Fellow Dtoiders.

-- Umm, Why haven't we started the game yet? It's like 10pm already??

-- We're waiting on SilverDragon to get a real headset that works versus the bluelight special one he got at Walmart that doesn't.

-- Oh.

-- Okay I'm starting it up. Everybody LET'S DO THIS!! YEEEAHH!

-- Alrighty then.

-- Where the hell is the room??

-- West Coast. Destructoid 1. Password "toid"

-- I can't find it. Is Destrcutoid 1 spelled out specifically Destructoid one?

-- No, just Destructoid 1, like a number 1.

-- I can't find it.

-- Hey guys sorry I'm late my wife was being a cunt.

-- I just assumed you were drunk and forgot about this Conflict.

-- Naw, but I need to be drunk.

-- Uhh guys, I can't find it. Is there a space between Destructoid and 1 in the name of the server?

-- No I'm not drunk but I need to be.

-- Yes there's a space.

-- So what are you rolling with Ship?

-- a sorcerer, I wanna give that class a shot.

-- cool I'm going to ...

-- I still can't find it.

-- Jesus Jimbo what the hell?

-- Hey it isn't my fault I can't find the damn server!!

-- ... roll with a paladin.

-- I found it!!

-- Yeah I played with Paladins before.. there pretty cool.

-- About time we're all at the Encampment waiting on you.

-- What the Fuck?? How many Barbarians do we have in our group??

-- A shitload it would seem.

-- Looks like a Kratos Cos Play Convention for christ's sake.

-- Why do we have so many Barbarians??

-- Looks like we're going to have to get into the action quick if we intend to level up at all with these Barbarians in tow.

-- Your right about that Ship!

-- Hey I chose a Barbarian because everybody said they were going to be a Necro!!

-- Who cares? Lets roll anyway.

-- CPTStewart and DarkTravesy are already in the middle of battle.

-- I guess we need to catch up.

-- Who's TV is blaring?

-- That would be mine..my wife is watching the Olympics.

-- People watch the Olympics??

-- You have to or your not considered American. What event is playing out Jimbo?

-- Swimming ... Like the most BORING shit to watch. Look at me, I'm swimming faster than the other dude. Whoopee. The Olympics are boring. All I can bear to watch is Boxing.

-- I hear they're talking about Micheal Phelps.

-- Michael Phelps can bite my ass. Everywhere all you hear now it's Michael Phelps this, Michael Phelps that. So he won a medal or something who cares?

-- I like Bob Costas when he's talking baseball but everything else he's trying too hard to hype things up. Oh look his arms are splashing faster than the other swimmers.. the DRAMA.

-- You're retarded Jimbo.

-- I know. Hey where is everybody??

-- We're in the HOLE dude.

-- Insert sexual reference here.

-- Where the hell is the HOLE??

-- No.. I wont answer that.. too easy of a pun.

-- dude just put on your map and follow us.

-- Oh ..... How do you do that??

-- Jimbo your old as dirt and you never played on the PC before??

-- Look, just cuz I'm old doesn't mean I play PC games. I played on everything console wise but PC? Fuck that. I'd rather be on my couch, chillin' playing games than on my PC getting my neck all stiff and shit. Most of my PC time in my life has been dedicated for the gathering of porn.

-- So what have you played lately Conflict?

-- I was playing the new Battlefield but it blows. I's all the same old same old with the same objectives of war games.

-- Conflict just hates EA games. I think he may hate them more than me. lol.

-- Naw man it's just bland boring. With the same WWII objectives of other WWII.

-- You mean a WWII game has the objectives of a WWII setting... shocking.

-- Screw you. The concept of the game is whack is all I'm saying.

-- So the concept of the game is whack? The fucking concept? What the fuck?? Are you writing an essay or something??

-- Fuck you Y0j1mb0!

-- Uh Guys, why the hell does this door not let me through it??

-- FUCK... I should of been an assasin. My guy is weak ass.

-- You gotta click on it.

-- Yeah I know you gotta click on it motherfucker.. But when I do it closes again.

-- Click on the door once dumbass, then click pass it so your character will go in the room. If you keep clicking on the door, you're essentially opening and closing it.

-- LOL.

-- What's up with the Olympics now... they still kissing Michael Phelps ass?

-- Naw they're showing highlights now. They got fucking Badminton as an Olympic sport yall. It's retarded. What's next Pocketpool?? They should have like UFC in the Olympics. That shit would be awesome.

-- I think that might start wars.

-- I think that shit would alleviate wars.

-- Man I wish I would of picked an assassin.

-- Uhh.. Hey where is everybody??

-- Can somebody go find the old man, grab him by the hand and bring him to where we are?

-- Where the hell are you Y0j1mb0?

-- I don't particularly know.

-- Jesus man, I just looked at your stats.. we're like level 18 and you're still at level 6. LOL.

-- Yeah yeah.. in between losing the party and not getting through these fucking doors I'm surprised I'm at level 6.

-- Seriously Paladins blow junks... I should of picked an assassin.

-- We need to have a leash for Y0j1mb0 so he always stays with us.

-- Will you stop talking about being an assassin already??

-- I wonder how Team Two is doing??


These were just a few things overheard in our quest last night. From a certain Dtoider dubbing himself "Pussy Hunter" to comparing the music of Mega Man against Final Fantasy's our subjects of conversation while playing was never lacking. At this time I would like to thank ALL who participated and reiterate how much of a blast I had playing with you all. Here's to next Sunday where we pick up where we left off.

Oh and if you care to join us. By all means put your name on the hat in the comments below and you to can enter the wonderful world of Diablo II ... Destructoid style next Sunday with the rest of us.
