Your Diablo 3 Checklist

Diablo 3 is a mere few days away from the highly anticipated launch: finally, after so much waiting, players will get to see the entire story unfold.  That said, it’s important to make sure you have all your bases covered to be prepared for the launch, especially those who are planning on hopping on right at midnight when the game goes live.  So, now that we’ve finally reached this point, what do we need?

Well, first things first: if you haven’t already, it’s time to head to Blizzard’s Website and download the Diablo 3 client – note that, as I write this, you cannot install it yet, but you can download everything you’ll need.  The download is about 7.6 GB of memory, and should download pretty fast if you have a decent connection.  Now, we play the waiting game…or any other game, since the waiting game actually sucks.

So, you have the download completed…what next?

…Look, don’t judge me, OK?  Demons and darkness are scary.  However, now that we have the comforting toy handy, it’s time for the next plan…

Ahh, good old caffeine, the best friend of any gamer.  Admittedly, this may be more important for anyone planning on enjoying the midnight launch, but hey, stock up if you need it!  Just remember, excessive soda drinking is bad for your teeth.  That’s why I use a constant IV drip!

What next?

Hey, I said don’t judge me OK?  I said stop!  I can hear you judging me!!!

Finally, while you wait, feel free to take a look at Blizzard’s new animated Diablo story called “Wrath” on YouTube.  It’s definitely worth a watch, and will take away about 6 minutes of waiting for the game…and we are waiting, aren’t we?

Sorry, what was I saying?  Oh, right…May 15th is the official launch date for Diablo 3, will you be picking the game up later in the day, or lining up with the many gamers for the midnight launch?
