so while I was rumaging through my box and stuff to find my (fake) copy of Bauldur's Gate 1 and 2, I've stumble across an old game.
That's right Diablo.
I've first played it back in 2000. I've didn't finished the first boss (the Butcher) due do that fact not only I was terrible for some reason but the these demonic mooks gave me nightmares and fears at the time, hence that's why I haven't finish it.
So I've installed it and try to see if it works with my current rack. It does work... but like a typical old game... it looks horrid enough that it will mess up my eye sight a little.
So far I'm on the first lvl, killing more demonic mooks and dinged to lvl 3. I was hoping with my bloody old cynical grown up side, I've stop getting the shivers from playing but I was wrong... I'm still frighten by the dark dungeons and those bloody mooks making some weird noise... but the sounds effects when they die... totally hilerious. The voice acting in the small shanty town of tristram is a little hilerious as well.
Now... know me I'll probably fail at kicking the butcher again... so any advice in HOW not be afraid of walking down a pixelated dark dungeon?

Have the lights on, find something funny about the game!
I never got further than the first building in Resident Evil 2 for the same reason. I scare easily. I'm thiking I might get 'Dead Space' when I have time and see if I can stand that.
I never played Diablo I'm afraid. My mates at school loved it.

I never got that far in Diablo but thats because I just got bored and went back to Diablo 2.
How to not be scared of the dark dungeon? Idk but try a different approch... Ok play Requiem for a Dream or something else like it. Have it playing while you play Diablo. The atmosphere should feel so epic that you wouldn't notice your fear.
Or play with all the lights off and have Halloween theme song playing or some other scary music. Try to the best of your ability to play the game for at least a little while. This way you will be so scared that when you play the game with the lights on and maybe with some... I don't know Trance playing, you shouldn't be scared.

Yeah I don't blame you. Diablo 2 is better imo but I've only got the demo on me Hmmm... maybe I'll take your advice but with playing Lady Gaga in the background with the lights down then afterwards pop up something like ... I dunno... Red Dwarf "Toungue Tied" or some Tripod music with the lights up.

Playing Just Dance while playing Diablo would make it better, it is a good song.

Dang, I think the last time I played Diablo was back in the late 90's. It was one of the first games that I pirated (the first being Starcraft =D. To be fair, Blizzard made their money back when I signed-up for WoW). The one thing that stood out to me with that game was smashing crates. Nothing else I remember, just the crates. xD

Well it worse but it's painful in the eyes to be honest when playing on my 22 widescreen monitor.... ugh all that grey pixelated stuff... my eyes!!!!
and yes... this copy is pirated too xD
Normally I don't condone piacy but Blizz is an exceptional developer nowdays. I'm still butt hurt by Starcraft II. Much worse than Too human and Pinnacle Station put together. really. That's how cut I am. Fuck you blizz, I have to register and be online to play the single player campaign... Didn't you guys fucking learnt the lesson what happens when you did that method from BioWare? BioWare had to step down and redo their DRM thingy so people who can't online that much can still play the game?
God... Blizz if you start winging and whining... I'll shove a smelly sock in your mouth due to your stupidity. Do ya hear me?
Anyways back to Diablo. Did anyone see the new Diablo 3? Now if it's a typical fantasy slash and hack then it looks great... but this is Diablo man... it's too colourful. It's almost like the fancy upgraded graphics version of WoW.
Man they are trainspotting again... >.<
