Why am I suddenly playing Diablo 3 again?

I can’t say for sure, but here are some theories:

  • It’s mindless, and thus, relaxing
  • I still like the quips of the sassy wizard
  • One word: Disintegrate (wizard spell)
  • Even though the story is dumb, it’s still a story and I like progressing through the different areas
  • It’s perversely fun to hit the space bar every time Azmodan or Scary Image of Azmodan appears and starts talking, only to get out about one word before going away. For reference, he constantly taunts the player until you kill him and every word he utters is written as channelled through a 15-year-old hardcore Diablo fan with very big ideas of what makes a cool villain, with all of those ideas being wrong and awful.
  • I’m actually plowing through it very quickly, so I’ll be sated soon
