#July2012
World of Warcraft’s fourth expansion hits September 25th. I know I’m the only one that still cares.
Although the numbers say otherwise! Millions are still rompin’ around Azeroth, even if their numbers have dwindled. Blizzard will pre-empt the busier holiday season with a September release of Mists of Pandaria (the previous two expansions both launched later, in November and December).
The highlights of today’s news include a digital deluxe edition for the game (as opposed to just the big bulky retail deluxe box, that and I and fifty thousand other nerds will still be buying), and the usual promo tie-ins with other Blizzard properties, Diablo III and Starcraft 2.
Thanks to Spaceship OL, I’ve been playing the beta of Pandaria (never going to accept that tragic name), and I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the all-round quality-of-life improvements to the UI and the game in general, as well as how the game engine and art design have held up and kept the game looking fresh after nearly eight years.

Blizzard Admits ‘DIABLO III’ “Item-Hunt” End Game Ain’t Sustainable
Diablo III ain’t World of Warcraft. Da-doi! We all know that. Ain’t even the same genre of game. However, what made WoW so fucking addictive was that in addition to the gear whore mad dashing, there was a continual flow of new content. D3 ain’t got that, and even the developers know that’s a problem.
Korean Government Raids BLIZZARD Over ‘DIABLO 3’ Complaints. Amazing.
Man, fuck Error 37! It’s dog crap. Hogwash. I wish someone would totally do something about it. Like what? I don’t know, maybe raid Blizzard’s office or something.
‘DIABLO 3′ Patch Droppin’ Next Week; Please Don’t Nerf My Funky Monk
Diablo 3 had a bumpy launch, but it didn’t get me down that much. Even still, it’s nice to see that the Blizzard Fools are on their grind, trying to improve the Lord of Darkness.
3.5 Million People Bought ‘DIABLO 3’ In First 24 Hours. My Posse Rolls Deep.
There was a point when I wondered if Diablo 3 would be a success like its predecessor was, and it is announcements like this that make me feel silly for thinking so.
WATCH: Nerd Rager Francis Brings The ‘DIABLO 3’ Error 37 Rage, Error 3006 Rage & More
Internet-famous nerd rager Francis is pretty awesome, once you realize its an act. I sort of like it more that way, since sometimes it does seem contrived (forgiven because its a performance) and its more than anything a display of our cumulative Nerd ID. This time Francis takes to the Diablo 3 outages with his typical panache. I’m actually typing this bullshit in the dead of night…because I can’t fucking login.
The Fourth Prime Evil: Error 37
It’s as if a million nerds cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.
#Error37 hit top global trending status around 3:40 am.
Someone created this site around 3:50 am.
No one online seems to actually be playing the game an hour after launch, at 4:00 am.
Yup. Diablo III’s out. I’ll see you all in my Error 37 t-shirt at Comic Con this summer.
‘DIABLO III’ BARBARIAN TRAILER: Smash Things, Eat Drum Sticks. Life ++
G’damnnnnnnnnnnnn, Diablo III is only a little over a month away. I’m sprung, juiced, and stoked. Here’s a new trailer featuring my preferred class: the shit-smashing Barbarian.
‘DIABLO III’ GETS AN OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE. This May, It’s On.
Pow! Well here’s some salve to apply to my chaffed post-Mass Effect 3 gaming nipples. Not only is Diablo III actually-maybe-potentially real, but it has a release date. Finally.
