87 Year Old Grandfather Plays So Much Diablo 2: Resurrected Again After 20 Years He Injured Himself

Recommended Posts

Here's an amazing and wholesome story, as we have an 87 year-old playing so much D2R that he injured himself - but that didn't stop him from playing on!

Chrompower recently shared this awesome story of his grandfather, who returned to Diablo 2 20 years after he first played it. Apparently he's re-enjoying it so much he got tendonitis from playing almost 10 hours a day, but instead of taking a break, he just constructed a better armrest so he could continue playing without pain instead. He also has a very specific way of playing, as he clears each zone completely and keeps it all clear of enemies! Oh and don't worry, he's upset about the server/queue issues as well. Chrompower helps him out as well, as he gets asked to clean up the stash every once in a while and gives him some loot when possible, so it's now very much a family tradition!

Let's take a look at this truly heart-warming story, but first here's a 1-shot of Hell Duriel (click on the image to see the video) :

It's definitely encouraging to see that much joy on a Duriel kill, not to mention the family enjoying it together! Hopefully we can all be like that when we're that age and have fun with our games. Here's the full story:

      Blizzard have detailed everything about the sixth ladder season of D2:R, with the new addition coming on the 22nd! We have regional launch times, the different modes, and an explanation on what happens to shared stash items for seasonal character after it ends, so let's take a look.
      Season 6 (Source)
      The lords of Hell await your return, traveler.
      Countless demons have met their timely demise at the end of your weapon, yet their onslaught doesn’t relent. Sanctuary needs its savior! Return on February 22 to wreak havoc among the Burning Hells’ ranks in Ladder Season 6!
      Ladder Season 6
      Our previous Ladder Seasons for Diablo II: Resurrected have showed just how adept adventurers were at saving Sanctuary, racing to be the first to cement their names on the Leaderboard, while striking fear into the tormented hearts of their demonic adversaries in the process.
      Ladder Season 6 will usher in a fresh opportunity for brave adventurers to race to Level 99 and amass powerful loot along the way.
      Ladder Season 6 Launch Timing:
      North America February 22, 05:00 p.m. PST
      Europe February 22, 02:00 p.m. CET
      Asia February 23, 10:00 a.m. KST
      As with previous seasons, Ladder Season 6 will feature different modes:
      Version Description Pre-Expansion Ladder The standard version of Ladder play that encompasses only the original four acts. Pre-Expansion Hardcore Ladder The hardcore (only one life) version of Ladder play that encompasses only the original four acts. Ladder The standard version of Ladder play that encompasses five acts, as it includes the “Lord of Destruction” expansion content. Hardcore Ladder The hardcore (only one life) version of Ladder play that encompasses five acts, as it includes the “Lord of Destruction” expansion content. For those new to Ladder Seasons, you might be wondering what happens to your Shared Stash loot once the current season ends.

      Once Ladder Season 5 ends, all Ladder characters will be transferred to their respective non-ladder group. All items in that character group's Shared Stash go into a new Withdraw Only set of Shared Stash tabs, denoted by a check marked Past box. Any items from Ladder Season 4 stored in the Withdraw Only tabs will be lost at this time. You will have all of Ladder Season 6 to withdraw any items you would like to keep from Season 5. When Ladder Season 6 ends, this withdraw only set of Stash Tabs will be overridden with any items in the Ladder Season 6 Shared Stash. Be sure to get any items out before then or they will be forever lost!
      May your Ladder race be filled with fiends to eviscerate and bountiful loot.

      From December 12 through January 3, the 22 Nights of Terror holiday event will be available in Diablo II: Resurrected.
      (Source)
      The air stirs with whimsey, perhaps even magic, adventurer.
      However subtle, a joyous invocation permeates Sanctuary, casting a ray of holiday celebration upon its inhabitants. . . or is this demonic trickery? This magic from beyond is not cause for a ceasefire in the unremitting conflict between demon and mortal, but its nuances can still be felt, disturbances are surely lurking about. Seeing this holiday miracle through to the end relies on you—sleigh your way through 22 Nights of Terror during the Diablo II: Resurrected holiday event.
      Experience Daily Demonic Trickery
      The magic constantly shifts day by day but remains pervasive in nature—even Sanctuary’s most esteemed scribes are unable to predict what abnormalities the future might hold.
      From December 12, 11:00 a.m.–January 3, 11:00 a.m. PST the fabric of Sanctuary will be altered every 24 hours, revealing a new gameplay modifier via the in-game Message of the Day that will last for the next 24 hours. The 22 Nights of Terror holiday event can be enjoyed in all online game modes except for Classic Diablo II.
      Powerful loot, a dash of terror, and a new surprise to experience each day awaits you in Sanctuary this holiday season. Go forth in glory!
      Happy holidays!
