Diablo III: A Member of GWW Conquers Hardcore on Inferno
Stay a while and listen..... I began this journey months ago and finally finished it after a few exhausting nights, sweaty palms, twitchy-eyes... hoping that death would not roll 666 and end my killing streak in Sanctuary. I do realize that the game was nerf'd several...
