Taxidermy... also known as necrobiology :P

The really cool thing about weird humor is that sometimes it can make you think about serious stuff as well. Make you question your place in the world and the meaning of life.

Luckily, stats aren't the most important thing. I have found that success in a game like Diablo rests upon three factors - skill, stats and equipment. All of them are important, but none is more important than the other two. That's why a player needs to be equally good in all of them.

Curiously, if you are exceptionally good at one of these factors, this can compensate for the other two being deficient. I have seen pro players (exceptional skill) beat the game with the worst possible weapons and armor... and (obviously) there are hopeless noobs who can beat the game if they have the best equipment. If the balance is upheld, success will follow.

Imagine if Quake was an RPG. Then we would have monster-fighting strategies like this: "To beat a Shambler on Nightmare, you absolutely must have lightning resistance of 55%, or use a +4 Cthulhu-enchanted Nailgun." Now that sounds weird :P
