May 15, 2012 in burning through it, congratulations, different strokes for different folks, full speed ahead!, no fun, take that devil!, video game, who am i to judge i'm just a guy with a laptop that crashes everytime i even try to install the game, you didn't even stop to smell the demonic corpses

Because what fun is sitting back and enjoying a game, Korean gamer Yoshichan beat Diablo 3 in 12 hours and 29 minutes with "368 Lifetime Kills, 412 Elite Kills and 168,481 gold as a Barbarian on normal difficulty". Since then, at least two other groups of Korean and Chinese gamers have done it in 7. Wow, this is NOT how you get your money's worth. Just saying, I'm 52 hours into Skyrim and haven't even made it to Whiterun yet. Are there really even dragons in this game?

Thanks to Bruiser, who tried to tell me he beat it in six but when I asked for a screenshot he sent me a pic of a dude's wiener.

    diaBLOW 3 is overrated

  • "...he sent me a pic of a dude's wiener."

    Because, you know, a pic of a chick's wiener wouldn't have been weird or anything...

  • OrehRatiug

    Yes, I'm sure he'll never touch the game again. Do people not understand that most speed-runners probably spend more time with the game than anyone who goes and "absorbs the atmosphere". 

  • Great, now I cant wait for Diablo 4

  • gfelts

    Waited 12 years to spend 12 hours...life bonus.

  • Woooooooooow!

  • Glad you changed the picture, but I've already seen the Sheablo now :(

    How is this possible since the servers have been almost all day??

  • I was able to log on at 1:00am Pacific standard time here in the U.S. and the server didn't go down until MUCH later in the morning.  I was online over 4 hours, and the servers were still up and running for 4 or 5 hours after that.  So, it's definitely possible.

    But man.. in 4'ish hours of game play, I've only gotten as far as re-assembling the 3 pieces of... wait.. i shouldn't say should I.      (thinks)   Anyway, I'm NOT that far into the game.  In over 4 hours I've only made 18,000ish gold but I've explored every possible inch of EACH dungeon / crypt.  

    But still, this game is supposed to be MUCH longer than 7-12 hours.. >_<

    Edit... I'm also running solo on a Witch Doctor, not running a full group like some of those 7-hour guys.

    hmm im assuming yhou mean "how is this possible since the servers have been DOWN almost all day....im.....not sure how its possible unless they found a workaround for the "you must be on online to play this game"
    plus american servers are down im sure the blizzard asia servers are still up and running]
