Rise Diablo, Lord of Terror

Series Play This Now
Blizzard is the greatest video game company ever. That's a fact. Okay, maybe it's an opinion, but they make some damn fine games. My favorite of all is Diablo 2, and the Lord of Destruction expansion pack. If you've never played the Diablo series before this edition of Play This Now will convince you. Now that's a fact.
Video games. Yeah, remember those? We here at Gamervision have some humorous anecdotes about playing our favorite games, and they may just be the best games that you’ve never even heard of. Join us for our stories of when we played these then, and why you should Play This Now!

haha Dom..."it's only midnight". Yep.
Why is this even newsworthy? The year 2000 called, they want their video games back. Great game, of course! Why GV is even posting it is a quandary since you all have made it perfectly clear that you really ONLY care about the console space while forgetting that all these new age consoles wouldn't even have been possible without the hardcore PC gamers who spawned it.
Don't believe me? Check the amount of pc vs. console content (even pc vs. any one console platform) on GV. Still don't believe me? Go back in history & see how it was pc gamers who were evolving technology faster than Moore's law! Ya, look it up to see what Moore's law is all about.
Sorry but GV is worthless. Sure, *some* original content but most of the "community" is on the payroll. That's not community-contributed content, it's paid for. Most content is aggregated from other sites, if I want to see that I'll visit *those* sites. Oh & it's not sour grapes. I've had an account since back when there were only like 40 ppl on this site. I've endured all the beta-testing I've had to do & now you automatically opt-in folks for all kinds of schlock articles. Nice going. Clearly the GV execs & dev teams know zilch about UI/UX, user experience or even webdev. Pretty icons don't make for a good site. Solid, unbiased journalism does.
Btw, I demoed this game in 1999 @E3, you know, when they allowed regular gamers into the event (for $100!). Now the industry is all about consoles & corporations trying to monetize on us hardcore gamers. Whatever.

What's that you say? You recall playing this game back in 1999 at E3? AH-HA! I've evoked a memory! Success!
In all honesty this article isn't newsworthy. It's not a review, in fact it's not journalism at all. It's just a fun video that we do that people seem to enjoy. Some people like the nostalgia factor, while others get a recommendation for a great game if they've never played it.
If you like the stuff we do then great, and if not, well, that's fine too. We just provide articles and video content for people to enjoy, and it's up to you to read/watch them or not.
By the way, I'm currently editing the next episode of this series where I tell people to play DOOM.
What's a PC?
I'm on the payroll and I'm not part of the "community."
...
That is unless, you count this as a contributed content. OH SHI-
The industry has _always_ been about trying to monetize on gamers.. that's how the industry can exist!
