Y: Alright um, oh.
T: Out.
Y: So we're under new releases.
Y: Yeah we're not going to spend a lot of time.
Y: But um, there's not many games I want to talk about except for one.
T: We're got to skip over these other ones, but yes.
Y: OH MY *** GOD!
Y: "Diablo 3"
T: "Diablo 3"
Y: So...
Y: ...I um...
Y: Wow!
T: So let's just talk really quick about what they did right about this release
Y: Everything!
T: They gave us... instead of... ok ...So other games...
Y: What do other companies do...
T: What do other companies do?
Y: Ok, so other companies like ok I'm going to show...
Y: I don't know, "Space Siege". For example.
T: Fallout!
Y: Fallout, for example.
Y: I'm gonna go and say here's a teaser.
Y: I'm going to show about 5 seconds of something atmospheric and cool.
T: Yeah...
Y: OK.
T: ...and 4 minutes of prerendered movie.
Y: Yeah.
T: Space Siege!
"Gun and laser noises"
T: You know, ***...
Y: Shoot aliens...
T: Flying ships
Y: You know you're watching the intro cut scene.
Y: Yeah...
Y: Because they made that years before.
T: And you're just like...
...Gosh I wonder what the game is?
Y: Hmm, I don't know.
T: I wish I knew, what that game was!
Y: I would love to buy the game...
But I won't buy it on cut scenes.
T: Yeah. So what did Blizzard do?
Y: Holy ***!
T: Blizzard said, "*** you!"
Here's 16 minutes...
Y: 20 Minutes.
T: 20 Minutes.
20 Minutes of game play.
Like, not game play interspersed with somebody’s face...
not game play interspersed with movies.
Y: Game Play!
T: Here's us playing the game.
Y: Yeah, and it looks done.
T: Yeah.
Y: For all intents and purposes...
you show the Barbarian.
You could... I would pay $60 for what they played.
T: Yeah..
I would to...
I would put down $60 for what they played in the 20 minute demo.
Y: Can I play a demo?
Y: The thing is we complained about all the *** $10 for Spore Creature Creator
T: Yup.
Y: Blizzard, I will pay $60 to play the 20 minute that you showed me.
Over and over again.
T: It's that good.
T: So why is Diablo so big to us?
Y: Well it's... I mean it's bigger for you. T: Yeah
For me, I played Diablo, I played Diablo 2...
I played it, but I didn't really do the BattleNet so much
T: I... Y: Did you?
...oh my god
So we, in my dorm room we got BattleNet going all the *** time.
It'd be like... It was this weird thing.
It was like... It was before...
...everybody was really into MMO's.
Y: Yeah.
and Diablo was like our MMO ...People would just
Y: That's you had.
T: They would leave a game running.
I knew friends that would turn their computers on, leave Diablo on...
Y: Yeah.
and they would play for a bit and leave it on and they'd go do something else
I would hop into their game when they weren't there and got play for a bit...
...and then, go do something else.
Y: Oh because, like when there's multiple people it gets harder.
T: Yeah... yeah..
They would run a level. They would run a world.
...and then finally, we'd call each other up
You want to get together and beat Diablo?
We've gotten that far, like...
It was just...
Y: Wow.
It was this perfect mix of...
You know you collect these items
And was it all about loot for you...
...is that the point, was that the draw for you? or about hanging' out.
It was about loot, it was about co-op.
It was about level design and atmosphere...
...it was the fact that every level was randomly generated.
So you could go through levels together and kind of do ***.
But it, it was the polish.
Y: It was polished... ...Oh my god.
T: The POLISH that Blizzard put on this ***.
Y: And that's what they do right, if you look at this game.
Like if you, go to Diablo3.com, I think...
...and go watch the 20 minute video if you haven't seen it.
If you haven't seen it, like are you a gamer?
T: Yeah, and don't settle for the *** on game trailers.
Y: No.
T: Google around for Hi-Res., Diablo 3 game play.
Y: 500 Megabyte download, it's worth it!
T: If it's not 500 MB Don't even bother.
Y: Don't bother!
If it's 5 GB that's the one you want too
T: Yes
Y: If they even have one.
T: So, watch this and just... just... feel like
Y: I don't even know how much commentary
It's polished like, like a Thai *** on your johnson.
Y: Yeahhh
T: It is just...
Y: They chromed
T: yeah, you can just see your reflection in your nut sack.
Y: whoa! Is that my face in there?
T: So, what's some *** in there?
Y: So ok, there is some amazing stuff.
So the thing is, they took this game and they said...
we're not going to *** with the core game play,...
T: No, it's the same game.
Y: ...and we're actually going to make even more accessible.
You can play this game with a mouse, you can do everything.
...and my god, they like got rid of potions.
T: yeah.
Y: That's weird, to me.
T: How are you healing? I think that they said...
Y: The things drop these little globs red and you pick them up that way.
T: That's what they're saying they said...
They said they really what to make it so that there's no wait
No waiting around.
Y: yeah yeah.
T: It like you and your buddies... "Ba da da da da"
It's like there's skill, but there's no waiting.
Y: Yeah.
Because before, you get in a big battle in Diablo.
and everybody would be like ok Glug glug glug.
Y: yeah yeah pushing potions.
T: You'd have a couple hot keys for potions Glug glug glug, chug chug chug
Now they're just trying to make it so
if you do the right movies in combat you're not going to die
and you can kind of pick up health along the way.
Y: Not only that, it seems they really added a lot more strategic elements to it.
It's like they have those skeletons with the shields
and guess what you have to use you special abilities to know the shields down
Then kill the skeletons, then go kill the other guys.
Then it's like, my g...
T: And you can summon pets, you can cast spells on the pets.
Y: ...on the pets.
WALL OF *** ZOMBIES! Come on!
T: Watch the trailer just for the *** wall of zombies
There's like ten dudes coming at him.
He's like, Oh check it out. Wall of Zombies.
"Arghhh"
And then the enemies run into them and they just whip the *** *** out of them.
Y: I have never been this excited about... I haven’t been this excited in a long time.
T: So Misery on our forums was saying that he was watching the trailer...
and he was doing this.
I don't if you can see my hand.
He said, I was starting to feel hand twitches.
He was just like, oh my god I just wanna...
Y: Just chick!
T: ...just let me click, just let me click.
Y: But it's just like they adding more skills they have all this stuff it's just like
They only showed us two classes, I'm a little...
I'm wondering what there going to
They only showed us a witch doctor, witch looks to me like a necromancer replacement.
T: Yup exactly, necromancer.
Y: ...and the witch... sorry, Barbarian which there's a barbarian
T: So there's going to be a priest.
Y: yeah but, they didn't have on in the first one.
T: I bet there's going to be a priest
Y: We had a paladin...
T: That's the new thing. Like a paladin.
I just saying, like the power of holy
There's going to be like a holy character
Y: Yeah I'll give you that.
T: That can do a bunch of evil *** to undead.
Y: Yeah ok.
T: Can like heal other people maybe
Y: yeah but they didn't do much healing
T: Defensive spells. I'll give you that.
Y: But they didn't have them in Diablo 2 so I don't know if they'll *** with game play that much,
as far as making a support class.
They really didn't have two...
right, every singe character play's solo.
T: Right because you have to play through by yourself.
Y: Exactly. Yeah yeah... T: Yeah
Y: ...but um there's going to be a range class, I'm sure.
T: Yeah, for sure.
Y: But not an Amazon...
T: Some sort of Archer.
Y: Archer, Ranger.
T: Ranger.
Y: *** Tanes, right.
T: Yeah that's right, Tanes.
Y: Um
T: Then there's going to be a Raceland
Y: yeah, Raceland. oh yeah you have to have a Sorcerer.
T: There's just gonna be a *** wrath of the god Wizard.
That can just *** do ***.
Y: They have to have that.
So one thing I'm wondering, you know I think they should have
is some sort of stealthy class, so they had Assassin in Loads of Destruction
T: Like Thief/Assassin.
Y: Rogue T: Rogue
Y: But you know what I want, I'm hoping'
Blizzard, if you're listening' and I'm all serious like.
T: Yeah!
Y: Ninja!
No I'm serious.
I am absolutely *** serious.
T: Dude!
Y: Ninja!
T: Yes! That would be hot.
Y: Come on!
T: That would be hot.
Y: Would that not, be bad ***. Just imagine...
T: Exploding shuriken.
Y: Exploding shuriken.
You can like *** put like... Telaport.
...so you can put like a big black cloud.
T: Pop up behind other people.
Y: Pop up somewhere else. Yeah.
T: Ooh. They could do that right.
Y: All the different weapons that you can... Ooh!
T: Yeah yeah.
Y: Come on!
T: Do it!
Y: Ninjas
T: So go watch the videos for Diablo 3.
Uh, We know... it's not coming out until 2012
Y: 2012... 2011
T: 2011. You wanna bet?
Y: NO!
Can you imagine, we're like ***...
T: No, no Christmas 2010!
Yeah, it's not going to come out for ever. Because that's home Blizzard rocks.
But, seriously. I will be there midnight the day this launches.
Y: Oh my god.
T: AUGH!!!
Y: Ah yeah.
T: I'm so excited.
Y: This is why we're gamers this is why we do this ***.
Because the feeling we get when we see these videos, we're like.
The sheer like joy of just playing this game.
T: Yeah yeah, it's a... so.
