I have to deal with a father that will not allow me to own the diablo games. If he finds out I buy them anyway, he destroys them. I care about my father too much to sue him for the money I lost when he destroyed the D2 disk. I really like those games but don't have the kind of money for them to be thrown out after a month of owning them. Any thoughts?

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
Well, I think that in this situation we can all agree that it is OK for you to download the game or burn it from a friend, with the original CD key you would still be able to log on to the Battle.Net.
If you do decide to buy a new one, make a copy of it.
Now the second thing you have to do is have a talk with your father, there must be some way you can convince him that you can play Diablo II and still the world will not explode.
If its about the violence in the game, simply tell him about the other possibilities out there for even more violent games, and if a demonstration is in order, do it.
I recommend the game where you put you gun up a cats ass to use as a silencer, no idea of its name though.
And if the issue is you being to lazy to do anything else, chores or schoolwork included, well I'm a nerd if you have some problems with math I help you there but other than that, you just need to show your father that you can manage you time to include both your duties and what ever you want to do on your own free time.

Tell your'e dad That he and the world will be there tomorrow BUt if u dont fight to save the world of sanctuary today right now it could be lost to the burning pits of hell for all time
Or you could sound superior/nerdy by saying:
"Dad, I must take my Paladin Zealot to the lands of Sanctuary to rid the world of evil. I must begin near the desolated lands of the Khanduras, and work my way east, following Diablo, the Lord of Terror. If I cannot defeat him and his brothers, the world will fall to their prowess and Hell will take over all of Earth and Heaven. But I guess if you don't want me to play, I guess you want evil to succeed. GG, DAD"
as i had already said this was years ago, 8 years infact. and yes AcidReign that is the excuse we used, prehaps thats why he hit the door?

as my parents have let me game all i want as well...my fiance too doesnt like cmputer games but she will sit and play a selective few ps2 games with me for an hour or so
Quick question. For those who has a wife or a fiancee, do they do this? There you are playing a kick ass baal run, she comes in and says, "what are you doing?" "Playing Diablo II". Then she stares at you like you just got done arguing with her or something and then she ignores you for the rest of the day until you cave in and promise not to play anymore. Next day, "Honey, what are you doing . . . . ." LOL

If you ever meet a hafling and a hungry dragon you dont have to outrun the dragon, you only have to outrun the hafling.

Thanks for your input everybody. About negotiating with my dad, that is not going to happen. My dad cannot be reasoned with on such matters. It's more a matter of finding a good hiding place. Any plans on where I should hide it?

People need to start being more imaginative, just looking around me I can come up with more then 20 good places to hide something as small and as flat as a few discs.
What you need to do first is not put them in a hard plastic case, that will take a lot of room, get a few of those paper disc bags with a nylon front or if not, then use a standard nylon lunch bag.
Also, put the CD key somewhere safe, e-mailing it to yourself is a good idea.
Now for a few places:
If you have a big enough fan you can put the discs on its wings, make sure you tape them or else they will blow of in all directions once the fan starts to spin.
I found that under the drawers is a good place to hide a few documents, tape a nylon page cover thingy under the drawer and then you can put anything you want in as long as its thin enough.
A good place to hide discs can be in books no one ever seems to open, make sure to dust all of the other books near that one so that he wont look too much out of place, and also pick a heavy book so that the added weight will not look suspicious
Another good place to hide discs is within a pile of cloths inside a closet of course, in winter move them in between summer clothing and the same goes for the other way around.
A cunning place to put the discs could be under a different computer game cover.
Also, if you choose to burn the discs anew, it could be safer to name them as other games and perhaps even different games so to not suggest to any connection between them.
And finally, it is wise to prepare a back up plan in case you do get caught, make several copies of the game so that even with one set down, you will still be able to recreate them all.

see what he says
"Dad, I must take my Paladin Zealot to the lands of Sanctuary to rid the world of evil. I must begin near the desolated lands of the Khanduras, and work my way east, following Diablo, the Lord of Terror. If I cannot defeat him and his brothers, the world will fall to their prowess and Hell will take over all of Earth and Heaven. But I guess if you don't want me to play, I guess you want evil to succeed. GG, DAD"
I know the game name and the game itself poses something of an ethical/moral flag for the parents, but, I can't say I shared the same problem.
Good luck in your next game purchases, I suppose.
