Attention all gamers:

Debunking the Cowspiracy


Citizens of Sanctuary,

We've recently herd rumors of an invasion. Not one of a demonic nature, mind you, for those we are quite accustomed to. No, these rumors allege that townships throughout Khanduras are being overrun by bipedal, bardiche-bearing bovine who are luring weary adventurers to the proverbial slaughter through moosterious orange portals.

Many of you have expressed fear. Some have asked if you should moov your families. To this we say: Hold fast. There is no cause for alarm. We've seen the so-called "evidence" being pastured around local inns and, after thoroughly investigating all reported sightings, can cowfindently state that this is nothing more than a clever hoax.

There are no homicidal heifers. There is no invasion. And, more specifically, there is no cow level. Anyone who claims otherwise is full of bull and simply milking this terrible prank for all that it's worth.

That said, while the idea of some sort of "cowpocalypse" (as one terrified farmer has taken to calling this) is udderly ridiculous, it is worth noting that one can never be too careful. And so, after consulting with our local Horadrim chapter, we have elected to issue an advisory.

Effective immediately, we encourage all residents of Sanctuary to steer clear of the wilds. From dawn on May 15 to dusk on May 21, it is also recommended that you avoid entering any strange portals that may or may not lead to alternate planes of existence. This activity cud be potentially hazardous to your health and, in the opinion of this humble civil servant, is a veally bad idea in general.

In the meantime, we urge you all to stay calm and remember that cows don't kill people. Everything ELSE in Sanctuary kills people.

Thank you,
- Management


Too bad I saw this just now before I have to go to bed. If there's any gamers that see this, ENJOY!

Sorry, forgot to add context (it's getting late for me). This is in regards to the Diablo III game, in which they did not originally build in a secret cow level like they did for Diablo II (which I totally found and demolished, btw!).

I have played Diablo II.
Do you remember the cheat code for cows?

I remember "my" cows Diana, Julia and Rosa.
And a calf that we played with as kids:)
That is real cows of course.

I'm proud that you looked pasture fears, took the bull by the horns and didn't kowtow.

It actually was incredibly aMOOsing! :-) You had all these slow-walking cows standing on two legs coming after you with Bardiches, and all you heard was "moo." Not even an angry moo or a sadistic moo. Just a moo. About a hundred of them at a time as they gathered in large crowds to come after you.


What was even more amusing was the secret rainbow level in Diablo III. The entire background was done on drawing paper while you ran around on super-happy clouds with bright rainbows killing prancing Unicorns and smiling flowers. SO out of place in a normally dark game like the Diablo series.

Yep, Angela still wants to have an aMOOsing time in a pun war with Me, since I did MOOve Her to deHOOF twice, but alas I'd be UDDERly nuts to try.

As kids we was told not to crawl under a cows belly.
Did we do it anyway?
Of course:)
But some cows didn't mind.
Lucky me.

It was Diana btw.
