My dad played video games. Would sit on his lap and take half the controls on games like Quake and Unreal.
One day we waited in line at Best Buy at night. I've never seen so many people line up at a Best Buy.. and shouldn't they be closed? Idk I'm like 7 years old so w.e
My dad bought like 5 copies of the game. 2 were for us, and 3 for the guys at his work who were working nightshift (he did IT stuff).
When we got home, he installed Diablo 2 on his computer, then asked if I want to stay up all night with him and play Diablo 2. I said yeah duh, fuck Pokemon.
He made a sorc named BahamaMama (I still remember the name because he actually got that char to 99 after years of playing)
I made an amazon named Ticonderoga, which was the brand of pencil I had on my desk. I found a bow. I couldn't shoot it. I started crying that the game was broken. My dad came to my computer and equipped the arrows for me.
Eventually that night, we came across something that made my dad so excited. He said this is the character that scared me in Diablo 1!! But besides the fact that he's a scary monster, don't let this man distract you from the fact that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table
