Toughest Opponent in New Diablo 3 is the Login Screen
I was having a fitful night of sleep so I got up and checked Twitter. Like you wouldn’t. Forget warm milk, I’d rather stare at an iPhone screen. Anyways, I saw that the hashtag #error37 was trending on Twitter.

Turns out that Blizzard’s Battlenet servers melted down on launch night of Diablo 3, a sequel 12 years in the making. And as usual, unhappy customers are using Twitter as the unofficial complaint department.
Best. Prank. Ever. 12 years in the making! #error37 #diablo3

I can’t wait to wake up tomorrow and see that #error37 is a new meme. Going to be so surprising and funny! LOL!

Man, Diablo III is super hard.I’ve been playing for 30 minutes and haven’t even defeated the login screen. #error37

What if Diablo 3 is actually some weird psychological experiment to see how long we’ll continually enter our login info? #error37

If I wanted busy servers I’d go to PF Chang’s #diablo3 #error37

It’s all a strategy so nobody ever forgets their battlenet password ever again. #error37

#error37 is actually a corporate prank on basement dwelling #OWS ers.

And even if you somehow manage to defeat #error37 there are new perils:
i get past #error37 only to be beaten down by #error3006

I still plan on getting Diablo 3. I hope they get their server problems sorted out. I’m actually replaying Diablo 2 now just for old times’ sake. When I mentioned this to my pal Jeff, he replied, “Oh, so how does Y2k feel nowadays?”
