Worry not, Diablo 4 will have Kinect support.

I did, I think my highest level character is level 30ish. I got frustrated with act 3, but I've been meaning to check it out again.You really should try Path of Exile if you haven't already, Xor. I believe it's the best game in the genre since D2 and even surpasses it in many regards.
Oh yeah, this is a good point, I completed Diablo 3, Torchlight 2 and now finishing The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing with my wife, and it's like making two good things - playing a game and paying attention to your woman Sheep are Safe and Wolves are Full.Without a doubt... Multiplayer.
Not sure how anyone could play through the tedium alone, but when you add a partner it somehow becomes bearable. It's also the only genre (sans mmorpgs) that my Pokemon loving girlfriend enjoys on the computer.
You could copy the *.mpq files from installation CDs to the game directory at all times in the past and the game would have read them instead spinning the CD-ROM drive, although you still had to have the "play" CD in your drive for DRM purposes. However, some later patch removed the CD check altogether, so now you can simply copy the game installation directory to a new computer and it just works.So, is it possible to install Diablo completely on HD without having the CD player spin everytime the game loads new graphics?
I used to admire Blizzard for their slick games, but I've always hated them for their player unfriendly policy.

EDIT: uh, I somehow read your question like it was about Diablo 2. Says a lot about which game I have wasted more hours on, hehe. Well, the above paragraph is about Diablo 2. The original Diablo still can't be played without the CD in the drive, unfortunately.

Well as with any game really, that has this issue, make a cd image file of the cd and mount it, right?

No, you could get any magical item to spawn at vendors by repeatedly leaving and reentering the town through dungeon shortcuts.Additionally magical, let alone unique items are rare enough to keep player excited whenever something coloured drops, AND forces player to make do with what drops (including dealing withe enemies you don't have adequate resistance to) rather than preplanning their build around specific stuff, since persistency with no respawns means finite supply of loot and no repeated raids.
Same applies to spell tomes rather than ability picks.
I'll need to test it, but you still had finite amount of gold (unless you count dupe glitch as well).No, you could get any magical item to spawn at vendors by repeatedly leaving and reentering the town through dungeon shortcuts.Additionally magical, let alone unique items are rare enough to keep player excited whenever something coloured drops, AND forces player to make do with what drops (including dealing withe enemies you don't have adequate resistance to) rather than preplanning their build around specific stuff, since persistency with no respawns means finite supply of loot and no repeated raids.

Diablo still is the best h'n's game ever made. The classes, items, voice acting and a little crumbs of the story were a mixture of an ideal proportions. The sequel, slowly developed, giving a couple of screens per month builded hype. But after the release I was dissapointed. The huge maps, inconsistent episodes (Welcome to the jungle ? cat ladies? wtf!). The magic was gone. Although if you are a loot hoarder you will have a feast. Played a couple of characters and it just rests in the box.
