World's first hardcore character beats Diablo III's Inferno

Blizzard’s Bashiok has confirmed the world’s first completion of Diablo III on Inferno difficulty with a hardcore character has been achieved. All hail barbarian Kripparrian, and his wizard chum Krippi.

Hardcore characters suffer perma-death should they fall in battle, ensuring only the most tenacious of Diablo III players reach these insane heights of l33tness. This is before patch 1.0.3.

A video has been made to document this historic moment for the series, and for mankind. We even get treated to voice-over commentary as they take on the final boss. Spoilers!
