This 'If Diablo 3 Were a Girl' video humorously imagines the long anticipated Blizzard follow-up to Diablo 2 as a seductive blonde hell-bent on getting a former player back onto the addictive game. They dramatize the interaction between the two as though they were ex-lovers, resulting in steamy moments. After some easy convincing, the player is ready to get it on with the personification of the fantasy game only to be shown “Error 37,” a code that appeared frequently halting players from being able to sign-in to the game in real-life. The frustration reaches its apex as the player is kicked in the balls, which is not unlike the feeling of not being able to play Diablo.
'If Diablo 3 Were a Girl' was made by YouTube channel I F*cking Hate That. Those impressed by this video should check out the equally funny parodies found on their account.
