Still, I have fond times spending hours and days clearing every single cave, basement, and underground levels. Some people rush through the quests to reach Diablo.

  • I had pre-ordered Diablo III Collector’s Edition several months ago when Amazon listed it the first time. However, I went to a store to grab a second copy for a giveaway I haven’t announced.
