After a month of drooling in front of the empty boxes displayed in a local game store's window, I was finally able to purchase a copy of the Diablo II Expansion Pack. I'm not usually the kind of grrl who runs out to buy all the expansion packs, strategy books, lunch boxes and action figures, but the promise of two new character types (Druid and Assassin) and an additional Act in the game beckoned me. This new add-on was released about a year after Diablo II, which was plenty of time for me to conquer the game and feel hungry for more of my favorite hack-and-slasher. It was just as well that they waited so long to release this expansion. After two months of non-stop Diablo, my farmhouse and gardens were in disarray, my cats were breaking glasses in open rebellion, and I gained too many pounds from the associated Pepperidge Farm cookie munching.
One reason why I love Diablo is because it is one of the few multi-player co-op games available. My husband and I have a TCP/IP Ethernet network set up in our office; we sit back to back and take turns refilling the coffee cups. He usually picks a hottie to play, and I usually end up playing a burly guy – and speak for him with an Arnold Schwarzenegger accent.
