Basically glorious retrovision was cute… but did not destroy the fact that the underlying game is one that I still greatly enjoy. The interesting thing is that as much as I was not feeling Diablo 2… I absolutely enjoyed the weird nostalgic romp that is the darkening content. I say plus because there are a number of offshoots that grant access to boss battles like the Skeleton King and other side areas. This time around however we opted to do the Darkening of Tristram content… which is essentially a 16 plus level Greater Rift. While I rarely actually make it to 70 that first night, we both end up with a good head start into the season.

It has become a bit of a tradition to hang out Friday night and push as far as we can. Up until this point I had not really touched any of the anniversary content, and to be honest the season beginning had completely slipped my mind until Grace asked me if we were doing our usual push. My weekend was largely dominated by the launch of Diablo 3 Season 9, and the Darkening of Tristram event.
