‘DIABLO III: REAPER OF SOULS’ Trailer: *ALL* THE GAME MODES DOE

Diablo III.

Here’s a new trailer for Diablo III: We’re Killing the Fucking Real Money Auction House, Forgive Us, Okay? Seems like a long title for an expansion, but hey. They’re Blizzard. Do what they want.

BLIZZARD files ‘HEROES OF THE STORM’ TRADEMARK. No word if the heroes are panda bears.

World of Warcraft.

Looks like a new WoW expansion pack of brewing. Fuck you, World of Warcraft. Fuck you. Despite my diminishing enjoyment with every successive expansion pack, I know that you’ll lure me back into the Storm. With the Heroes People Stuff.

‘DIABLO III: REAPER OF SOULS’ REVEAL TRAILER

Diablo III.

As suspected, Diablo III is getting an expansion. Reaper of Souls. Blizzard has dropped a cinematic trailer for the forthcoming snap-on to the title, and it’s gorgeous. Par for the course. Now here is hoping the expansion’s content is equally as wonderful.

Hit the jump for the trailer and more details.

Blizzard teases ‘DIABLO 3’ expansion called ‘REAPER OF SOULS.’ Aiight.

Reaper of Souls.

Dear friend. Were you like me? Marginally let down by Diablo 3? If so – – what would it take for you to give the game another try courtesy of its new expansion? Me? It’s a Blizzard product with the name Diablo stamped on it. Given my childhood, I am almost legally bound to partake.

BLIZZARD trademarks ‘THE DARK BELOW.’ Prolly WoW x Diablo x Starcraft Gem Puzzler.

GASP.

Sort of stealing the headline from a conversation I had with our own Budrickton, who pointed me towards this news. Blizzard has issued forth another trademark into the world, with this latest copyright stamp bringing me hope of not a Diablo expansionNo no. Nor a WoW expansion. Of course not. But rather a hotfix that allows me to finally bask on the thickened, scar-tissue covered genitals of all my toons. They’ve rode hard. For years.

BLIZZARD’S ‘TITAN’ NO LONGER SUBSCRIPTION-BASED MMO. THEY ARE TAKING SUGGESTIONS AND HUGS.

SAD KEANU.

WELL THEN. It was announced sometime in the recent past (searchable, I’m sure) that Blizzard’s next titanic MMO Titan was going to be seeing a significant restructuring. Now it sounds a lot like the company has no fucking idea what they’re doing with the title, or what the fuck it looks like. Eh, who cares! We got Pandas and shit! NoseriouslythroughBlizzard I want a new MMO from you. Pretty please.

BLIZZARD STARTS OVER ON THEIR NEW MMO; but we have f**king pandas so who cares?!

Frown.

Whoops. It looks like things are not fairing well on Blizzard’s new MMO. Not the best time for such news either, seeing as that WoW is bleeding heavily out of their player base-anus. The hive-mind at Blizzard is restarting their super-secret MMO, as well as pushing the son of a bitch to 2016.

The Snow Is What You Make of It

snowfall_forecast_020713_1620

Mother Nature is at it again here in New England. Though She can be a dependable source of sunshine and sustenance in many parts of the world, She tends to be fickle in my neck of the woods. One moment she is warm, hospitable; the next She is cold and treacherous–out to get you if you even try to go out. It’s all part of the plan, really. She likes to keep us on our toes, never allowing anyone to be too comfortable with how things are, and I like that about Mother Nature, honestly. I welcome this aura of irregularity because inconsistent states (be they nature-based or otherwise) can be conducive to creativity and productivity: you have to deal with all the contending elements, make the best of what’s at your disposal, and hopefully something interesting comes out of it. And when this great, big storm finally hits the ground and piles up all the snow and logistical problems that come with it, we can plow and pack and shape that snow into salutatory snowmen, serene snow angels, and epic snow forts. We can sled and ski our way to freedom in a winter wonderland. And if you choose to stay inside, you can finally do all those things that you’ve been meaning to accomplish (read that book everyone’s talking about, watch a classic movie, do some writing, etc.). Once the snow is given by good ol’ Mother Nature, it’s ours for the taking. So go ahead and make good on this, just like these fine examples of snowman fecundity.

Blizzard drops ‘MISTS OF PANDARIA’ CINEMATIC TRAILER. Panda bear beats orc? That dun sound right.

An orc. Yeah, you know. Like infinity years of war, forged from Satan’s jizz rags, nineteen feet tall, born to kill. Obviously bested by Jack Black in a furry outfit.

‘STAR WARS: THE OLD REPUBLIC’ goes free-to-play. All shall bow.

Star Wars: The Old Republic cost $33 zillion dollars to make. It didn’t make that back. Now it is going free-to-play up until level 50, and Blizzard is once again sucking the marrow out of the bones of a fallen competition.
