A father plays Diablo II with his son, has an epiphany that it is all about the shopping, and writes about it for the New York Times. “It’s as if you had to slay the Macy’s perfume sprayer to get to Bloomingdale’s and battle three scarf buyers to move up to Dolce & Gabbana.” Ahh but he doesn’t mention the jewels! Rubies! Sapphires! Diamonds! Emeralds! Or the jewelry! Rings and amulets! Darn NY Times. Send a man to write about a battle game and all he talks about are the armor and weapons. Feh. :-) (via eatonweb who points out that at level 26, this dad was a mere babe in the Diablo high fashion universe)
