Gamer Temptation Videos

'If Diablo 3 Were a Girl' Chronicles Fan Woes Over New Release

— May 18, 2012 — Pop Culture
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.
Trend Themes
1. Gaming Parody Videos - Creating humorously exaggerated videos that parody popular video games like Diablo 3 presents an opportunity for content creators to engage with gamers and gain a large following.
2. Fan Dissatisfaction - Highlighting the frustrations and complaints of fans towards popular game releases, such as the frequent sign-in issues in Diablo 3, can help game developers identify areas for improvement and address customer concerns.
3. Youtube Comedy Channels - YouTube channels dedicated to creating humorous and satirical content, like I F*cking Hate That, have the potential to attract a wide audience and monetize their videos through advertising and sponsorships.
Industry Implications
1. Video Game Development - Video game developers can use parodies and humor as a marketing tool to engage with gamers, build anticipation for upcoming releases, and address customer concerns in a lighthearted manner.
2. Content Creation - Content creators specializing in gaming parodies and humor videos have an opportunity to grow their audience, increase their online presence, and potentially collaborate with game developers or brands for sponsored content.
3. Online Video Platforms - Online video platforms like YouTube provide a platform for comedy channels to showcase their content, attract a large following, and monetize their videos through advertising and partnerships.
