I originally wanted to do a massive tribute to Blizzard North. After years of collecting my tribute content I realized I set the bar so high for myself because I love and respect Blizzard North so much that I don't think I would ever get it finished. I saw that this clip was so special that I think it should have been released this way.
And I refuse to play D2R because of Activision-Blizzard.
If it was Original Blizzard, that would be acceptable for me...
Thank you for this. As someone else commented, I too refuse to play the bastardized version of the original team's masterpiece. Also, D3 was trash compared to D2, but sadly it sold alot because of D2's reputation, and D4 will likely be trash as well. Torchlight and Torchlight2 were great, but people thought that Blizzard was the same as Blizzard North, and called those games copycats. Looking forward to more releases from David or anyone else from the original team (especially if its a true AARPG).
His hindsight is 100% how I feel about old jobs sometimes.
His explanation about the "lightning in a bottle" perfect storm of a team is just a perfect thought of old Blizzard.
What an honour to speak with David! You can really feel how passionate he is about his job.
Legendary!
One of the all-time great creative minds behind D2, and David Brevik!
Loved it when he talked about the team and what it takes to make a great game. Heart and passion.
Wow so awesome I hardly can find the words to describe this interview. Nothing but OGs and some of my favorite people. Thanks Xtimas for sharing this with us.
i love david’s humility. he said he “helped make” diablo, which is true but a lot of people would have said something like i created it by myself or whatever
Gonna be interesting aging and describing the early internet and online games/etc to kids that were born into it. I'd imagine it being similar to people born in the mid to late 1800s who lived long enough to see the space race describing early cars and flying machines. You could argue that the internet was vastly more societal changing than anything else. And Brevik was a pioneer in the space.
Such a cool dude, love to hear every bit of interview with him and/or the others from the team.
Wow, this is amazing Xtimus, was really not expecting this but really have been wanting to hear from Brevik as it's been a while since we.heard from him (although I see that this is from the past). I saw two D1/D2 guys -- Matt Householder and Matt Uelman (along with that idiot, Jay Wilson) -- recently at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo where they held a panel and I just wished that we could hear from Brevik and the Schaefer brothers again. D2 is my favorite game of all time and I wish I could thank the Blizzard North guys personally for making one of the greatest games of all time. Clearly, the game was special because of how it came together, an actual game made by gamers who made the game they wanted to play themselves. Wish this was longer though!
Thanks for this X!
And thanks to David and the original Blizzard North team that created this masterpiece of a game!
Wow...
The legend...
thats so nostalgic. thnx man! great work!
Holy shit, he turned down a job at Intel, thank god that happened. A world without Diablo 1&2 isn't a world I want.
They just don’t make ‘em like David anymore 😢 what a legend. Thank you so much David! So glad you found your passion early on.
What lurks below by greybeard games is his game, his wife is playing it in the video, its got some looting and action fighting like David brevik's diablo
Great clip! I enjoy their streams, David and his wife are very sharing of stories and memories.
David Brevik is pretty much the arpg version of Luke Skywalker
David Brevik the GOAT!
Awesome clip of him! Great to see him passionate about games
I will always be thankful for this man and all the rest of this team they created the greatest game of all time and it will never be topped to for me
Superhuman and very kind people... not so usual to find around. Congratulations.
Xtimus, thanks so much for sharing us.
Legendary Blizzard North
Nice to see you back! Awesome interview!
That casual Lo Rune drop from Diablo during the clip.
David Brevik is the legit creator-
Why doesn't this have more views?
Thank you buddy
awesome content but why soo short : (
Welcome back brother!!
This is so cool dude!
Thanks for this video
David Bevrik is the king of the North!
Creator of Blizzard: David Brevik-
and now he makes games like here...
Algorithmus
She's pretty
in yer face haters~ SHIFT111
He needs to get back with some of the old team and just make the sequel to D2 we always wanted. Diablo is dead anyway. Come up with a new IP with gothic dark fantasy. Diablo is more about the people who made it than the story or the name.
today’s blizzard sucks
Yay! You’re one of three D2 community content creators who isn’t fake! Thanks Xtimus! Only you, DBrunski and The Iceman are real non-fakes. The rest of the content creators that are popular are just phoney.
really xtimus? you are really trying to make a come back? wouldn't it be better to let sleeping dogs lay? or should people come and remind everyone why you left in the first place?
Why did he leave?
God d4 sux so bad. Hope david re create diablo 1 lol
a few YEARS? hurting for content i see
Any time I see brevik I watch. Somone who could create things so beautiful is worth listening to.
He gives off similar vibes to Adam Savage.
Yeah i remember those people... Toxic people who constantly put me down and shamed me for playing video games.
