Rogue and Tetris ported to . . . . . Diablo II?!?!

Posted by Hemos on from the gettin-it-on-with-the-golden-oldies dept.

lord2800 writes "While Diablo II is nearing the end of it useable life-cycle, it would seem that Diablo II hacking is still alive and well. Diablo II hacking pioneer Syadasti (Mike Gogulski), has recently ported and released both Rogue and Tetris for Diablo II. Since Blizzard has not yet released their upcoming patch, is it left up to the open source programmers to breathe some life into modern games, with a little retro twist. A quote from the author: Finally, an answer to the question "what the hell do I do while my bot is running?" Play Tetris! Grab yours today at from Otaku-Elite. Requires bind.d2h and d2hackit. Self-documenting. (tetris.d2h features an autopilot mode as well, so if you get as tired of playing Tetris as you are of playing Diablo II, well just turn that puppy on and let the computer play for you) Syadasti (Mike Gogulski) is also the Head of Research for the d2jsp Development Team which, among other things, has embedded a Javascript engine within Diablo II to facilitate the creation of AI "bots" which can play the game on their own, "thus freeing the user from the tedium of playing with ... er ... for ... himself," he says."

    What do you do when you've hacked the game to the point that it's not longer fun to play.

    More shocking proof in the linux gay conspiracy with the revelation that even penguins, the cuddly mascot of the popular operating system Linux, are known to pack fudge on a regular basis.

    Officals were quick to deny any links between faggot penguins, faggot operating systems and faggot Linux programmers.

    A completely self appointed spokesman for Linux was quoted as saying "This is absolutely GNU/preposterous. The thought that there might be any GNU/link between GNU/gay penguins and GNU/Linux is an outrage. Now where is my inflatable GNU/penguin gone? I might go fuck GNU/ESR up his GNU/ass now."

    It is not yet known if the penguins Tacosnot each other.
