Meh, Diablo 2 was boring both as a Multiplayer and a Single Player game. The first one was a passable single player game though.

romance c.1300, "story of a hero's adventures," also (c.1330), "vernacular language of France" (as opposed to Latin), from O.Fr. romanz "verse narrative," originally an adverb, "in the vernacular language," from V.L. *romanice scribere "to write in a Romance language" (one developed from Latin instead of Frankish), from L. Romanicus "of or in the Roman style," from Romanus "Roman" (see Roman). The connecting notion is that medieval vernacular tales were usually about chivalric adventure. Literary sense extended by 1667 to "a love story." Extended 1612 to other modern languages derived from Latin (Spanish, Italian, etc.). Meaning "adventurous quality" first recorded 1801; that of "love affair, idealistic quality" is from 1916. The verb meaning "court as a lover" is from 1942.
Looks like you got the origin backwards.

I find leet to be just another fun use of language. It's a great way for casually showing off your total 633|<c|0/\/\. Or a great way of making fun of l33tests by parodying l33t like this: "OMG, I pwnz j00, n00b lol!!!!!!!!one" Totally, d00d.
