  • Kingdom of Shadow by R.A. Knaak.

    I played lots of Diablo 2 back then and a friend once went into this small nook with books in a local games shop and showed me they have Diablo books. I wasn’t much of a reader. I read some books that I enjoyed, but moat of them I was made to read.

    I wanted to know more about the world of Diablo so I bought it. I mever expected it to grab me as it did. When I came home, I was like “let me read a chapter and go to actually play after”. The boom jumped right into action with the first sentence and the PC was not turned on for 3 days (unheard of until then) as I used every free moment to read the book.

    I bought other books in the series right after and then started to branch out to other fantasy series. This is the book that made me a reader. And I can thank a videogame for that.









  • I still have the first on the backlog so I’m good. I really only buy games that are special to me at full price. And at 70 or even 80, they would have to be extra special.

    I was just thinking aloud. If they set a price and now slashed it before launch, it clearly wasn’t worth as much - with the corpos arguing they have to up the price due to cost… this is pretty much them showing it plain and simple it’s bullshit
