You heard it hear first - JT Tran says 'drop the Diablo III and pick up a hot babe':

Mr. Tran is wrong. No computer game has ever lied to me, cleaned-out my bank account, run off with my best friend, given me the clap, or cheated on me. Cheated--yes. But cheated on, no. And though they do taunt me, they mostly understand my needs though occasionally one of us has performance issues. And where you you find a good date today for $60. :D

My dating life ended thankfully 15+ years ago. But I did have a very close run-in with The Clap before it ended. Ask around for details if you would like torture yourself.

I'll add that a PC game doesn't nag you to death with endless chore requests.  :)


By the way, is this JT Tran the same guy as Dr. Tran who has starred in over 30,000 DVD's?

He's not saying the game sucks; it seems like the opposite:

Quote"If I can get just one guy to take his life back, then it will be worth the trip," Tran said.

Tran seems focused on getting guys to do "more productive" things than playing games. That's not the same as "Diablo sucks play/do something else."

I don't mind if this guy shares pickup lines at the Diablo release event, but why evangelize against it? I say let these gamers figure out for themselves whether their time is better spent playing Diablo or picking up chicks.

The funny/sad thing is, that was the very first thought that entered my head!  ;D

Why not enjoy both?  Life is about an individuals priorities.  Sometimes one needs a good game to play to satiate the appetite, sometimes one needs a good chick to play to satiate the appetite.  Games don't come before chicks, but chicks don't come before games either.  :)

^There is so much that could be made of that last line.
