Beating Diablo II, Irene The Infirm's Way?
Rimbo writes "I've found a new hero, over at The Lurker Lounge's Diablo II forums, where intrepid adventurer MongoJerry set up an in-game Sorceress according to the following rules: 'No skill or stat points may ever be assigned... She plays fully naked, including no charms or jewelry... She must get all waypoints and fulfill all quests in game order... If she actually gets that far, any mercenary she gets must play naked as well... She plays hardcore.' So, no weapons, no armor, no magic items, no throwing potions. How long will she last playing Diablo II? Astonishingly long! Read on for the surprising Irene the Infirm: Tales of a Sickly Punching Sorceress."

She plays fully naked
Simoniker and I made a pact with the devil. Today, this gets posted to Slashdot. Tomorrow, the main page. Next week, "Irene the Infirm" becomes a TV Movie.
Oh, you could turn off your TV.
But then there comes the McDonald's tie-in. "Irene" bumper stickers. The T-Shirt.
And then on MTV awards night... seen Britney's new costume? That's right. Irene.
Irene on Coca-cola cans. Irene on billboards. The Irene cartoon show. Irene the breakfast cereal. Irene spam.
If you are mad now, just wait until three months from now when President Bush declares war on China because of the manufacturing of Irene knock-off Barbies. They'll call Irene "the fictional video game character that launched a thousand cruise missiles." Yeah, not quite as nice as Helen of Troy, but Satan wanted the rest of a bottle of Dahlwhinnie I had in my liquor cabinet for that, and though we'd given up our souls we weren't about to give a drop to that scumbag shit.
So, uhm, get used to Irene, man...
You could do this in Slashdot, try defending SCO
Wanting to do this is god's way of telling you to move on to a new game.
