Diablo 2: Online Experience And YT Channel Discord Launch
4Just to get this out of the way: Mittwoch is German for Wednesday.
Cool? Cool.
Diablo II Resurrected is the return of the legendary Diablo II and the Lords of Destruction expansion with full online play for up to 8 players per instance. I have poured many hours into the original Diablo II release until the servers were shut down, but now they're back in a brilliant remaster with up to 4k support. It is a classic hack and slash adventure with constant loot drops, so it's a bit different than the usual content of the series, but Diablo II was such a large part of my gaming past that I had to at least drop a single video covering it. Then I played it for a week and the online experience is almost exclusively dominated by the rush then grind mentality. This caused me enough irritation to decide to launch Too Technical's Gamer Haven, a discord server to hang out and discuss whichever games I'm covering for Murderhobo Mittwoch, Roguetech, Diablo 2, and join together to participate in jolly cooperation across whichever games you wish.

What is Murder-hobo Mittwoch?
This is the series uploaded every wednesday where I will be playing through a wide assortment of CRPGs, both new and old. Some I will have no experience with, others I have played long ago. Either way, I hope you will enjoy coming along for the ride.
What is a CRPG?
CRPG is an acronym for Computer Role Playing Game.
For the purposes of this series, a CRPG will be any role-playing game which allows for a group of adventurers to go through a story of some kind, usually with an isometric view/interface. Some will have turn-based combat, others will be real-time (though usually with some pause functionality to allow issuing specific orders).
Historically, CRPGs were developed to bring the tabletop experience of games like Dungeons & Dragons to the home computer. As time passed, there have been new CRPGs that were inspired by previous CRPGs instead of the table top games the originals attempted to emulate.
Why CRPGs?
I've been a fan of tabletop/pen and paper RPGs since I was a teen and was first introduced to Dungeons and Dragons. I have played a wide variety of them, including Shadowrun, Pathfinder, Dungeons & Dragons 2e, 3e, 3.5e, and 5th edition, a variety of White Wolf games (most notably Vampire: The Masquerade, World of Darkness, and Hunter: The Reckoning), as well as some that are quite obscure.
This fondness for RPGs easily led to an enjoyment of the computer adaptations of the same experience. The fact that I have been the Dungeon/Game Master for the vast majority of my communal storytelling experiences led me to very much appreciate the opportunity to be the player of a campaign created by someone else.
