What's more stupid than getting upset over a game and having a chidishly destructive temper tantrum? Why, being stupid enough to think its cool, and sharing it with the world of course.
You are one of those losers who punches walls when life isn't perfect, aren't you?
He looks like one of those people that destroy things as a hobby infact, or one of those kids that are horrible in multiplayer games but just yells at everyone else instead for being 'bad'.
One thing we can all take away from this is that at least it wasn't us that just destroyed 20+ hours of our lives. I mean, why destroy something you've spent so much time on? you've got nothing to show for it anymore.

It really makes me all warm and fuzzy inside to see the stage the community has deteriorated to, first we have the OP throwing a hissy fit and utterly smashing merchandise because he doesn't get something the way he wants it to be.
But then the real prize for me was to see all the people here going on and on about how the OP is a kid / child, which is without a doubt the most common insult in the MOBA community.. poor show me hearties.
That would be true, if there was no basis for calling this childish. This definitely meets the definition though. There's not anything else to honestly call this.

There are plenty of other things to call this beyond "childish" - Enraged, upset, delusional regarding value of an item, impulsive, not called for, stupid, destructive - the list goes on. To actually base that this has anything to do with childish is kind of.. uncalled for actually.
As very few facts of what can be seen, is even remotely related to the mind of a child, more then someone who could be of any age and relate to a lot of different factors then just simply "child".
I would rate "childish" as a light insult compared to "delusional regarding the value of an item." People generally learn as they grow up, not to do useless things like venting your anger through destroying inanimate objects. Especially over something as inconsequential as a video game. In my opinion, that is very imamture. Immaturity equates to childishness. You are entitled to your own opinion, but don't waste time trying to devalue mine.
The real thing that makes me laugh about this thread , is how people get enraged in a far more childish way then anything the OP has included - and the most common balled word seems to be "Child" and/or a form of Virgin (unrelated to OP in any way) ; where as of the actual understanding of the word and the relevance they yield - is not even close.
By any amount of probability - The forum it self is throwing a larger tantrum then OP - with a typical level of intelligence that can be found in MOBA Games (See ; Half-redundant non-fact-based lazy arguments that are based on short-sighted ignorance towards any real definition of words)

maybe he thought he could get mad EXP by destroyed diablo itself.
or perhaps a new kind of achievement?
I was pretty disappointed in guild wars when i got it, i think the worse i did was eventually lose the disc, and keep the box in my closet for a couple of years
By the way, since you're obviously trying to sound extremely intelligent, I should point out that it is "than" and not "then".
Also, extending the length of a sentence by using a Thesaurus to replace nearly every word with a different synonym doesn't make you look intelligent.
It makes you look like a douche.
Since I am also somewhat of a Good Samaritan (albeit a slightly caustic one :P) I shall provide you with some information that will help you improve your pseudo-intellectual grammar.
(Just in case you don't realise this; anyone who was actually intelligent would already know the difference between "then and than" because they have a solid grasp of the English language. As such your rambling and nonsensical posts contain far, far too many words for what you are trying to convey and come off as moronic.)
THAN — Denotes relativity (comparison).
The dog is bigger THAN the cat. You are better THAN he.
Mnemonic — Think comparison.
THEN — Denotes time (logical progression).
I had breakfast THEN I went to work. If this is true, THEN we're in trouble.
Mnemonic — Think time.
There you go! So the next time you want to make a pseudo-intellectual post with far too many synonyms, you can pass as slightly more intelligent than a 10 year old! Congratulations!
P.S Dont try to pull the "English isn't my native language" card. Anyone using as many ridiculous synonyms as you clearly has English as their first language, but just a poor grasp of it.
I don't think explaining something as simple as that, proves that you are way smarter.
Also gotta ask, is it even possible that people with English as their native language don't know the difference between "than" and "then" ?! I can hardly believe that.

I know quite a lot of people who can't tell the difference between they're, there, and their. It's pretty daunting, considering they went to a private school and in their 20's now.

You guys do realize that no one nerd rages and then takes a before picture, right? I'm sure this was calmly taken apart while he sat on the stairs, the whole point of it I guess would be the RMAH comment.. breaking shit isn't childish, and to be perfectly honest, pretty much none of that has much value. Used key is used.. the rest is just a bunch of crap that half the people out there will bring to half price books for 50 cents in a year..
I actually enjoyed almost every post in here so far, keep up the good work.
Also why is everyone assuming he isn't still playing, you don't "need" the physical copy to continue playing, hell my CE version of the hardware has never been opened, If you are going to rage and destroy the physical copy to let off a little steam, at least for the love of god...save the artbook! it is worth at least $60 on Ebay :\ possibly a $100 in a year or so when the expansion comes out.

This.
I don't get why people get so mad at this game...
Burned out Warcraft addict turned Diablo III addict.
formerly 3/8 H DS10, YAY CASUALIZATION!
Amazing job, OP.
That would be true, if there was no basis for calling this childish. This definitely meets the definition though. There's not anything else to honestly call this.
Art.
Yes, this is THE $100 post. I tried doing the same thing, but it was like pooping in my pants. I just couldn't get myself to do it.
Actually. It's Diablo.
