Finally, after over a decade, I shall venture forth back into Sanctuary.
Now if only I knew a place to pre-order the Collector's Edition, because I've waited many years for this game I'll be damned if I don't buy the Collector's Edition xD
Too bad CE doesn't get midmight access to game <_< Hopefully Gamestop does a Midnight Release Event or something, and if I can't pre-order the CE, somebodies going to die MUHUHAHAHAHA!!!

Probably will be able to install, just not log in. But I'll let you know in about 15 minutes.

This is the most amazing news ever. I'm taking my MCAT May 12th. This will allow me to forget about gaming for the next 2 months, focus on my studies, ace my exam, and then destroy the legions of hell.
It's been a great ride with all of you guys (and gals). Looking forward to the next two months flying by and smashing some demons with you all!!
