My sweetest nightmare in computer games

Long long time ago... when I'd just begun using (playing) computer (games), I saw my bro was playing a game deep in the darkness all the time fighting monsters which could be hardly seen. Soon I got intrigued with its all-dark theme and its beautifully creepy music accompaniments. As I started to play it and got my avatar way down below the dungeon levels, I found myself cemented in it helplessly at the same time. I remember seeing (+ hearing) the gold and bizarre items dropped on the ground, the most charismatic dialogues ever found in games, and last but not last-of-all, the distant looks of all characters in the game which had always got my spectacles hitting the monitor just to get a really close look on them.

Then... Diablo came back! It came back with yet more fascinating arts and darkness this time. There were more dungeons, monsters, angels, avatars, skills, quests, items and more colors (I'm not talking about graphics here)!!! Oh yeah, and of course the best ever made game trailer I'd ever seen. Then I recalled that in the finishing cut-scene of Diablo I, my avatar pierced his forehead with the evil crystal he had pulled out from Diablo. With little surprises, I found myself had become my avatar himself! You really got me Diablo! You're the real diabolic monster! Since then I had been playing Diablo II for more than 4 years consecutively and in the end beating all Hell-level Diablos with all avatar classes. However, I could never accomplish one thing: to get the best weapons and armors out of the game myself.

In two or three years later (I hope so)... we'll be seeing Diablo waiting in his dungeons again and we shall beat him and his minions once again (hopefully not for the last time :P). Until then, I will be ready. See you, Diablo.
