The ‘Diablo III’ Beta Has Shown Me The Glory
At this point, I’ve gotten the chance to play about three hours of the Diablo III beta, as both a monk and a barbarian.

It’s the same and god fucking dammit that’s okay. I’m not looking for them to reinvent the wheel. I’m looking for new levels to grind. New loot to covet with glossy eyes and jittering clicker fingers.

Gulp!
Blizzard Still F**king With ‘Diablo III’ Core Systems. They Hate Me.
A good friend and Discipline of the Infinite Click let me play the Diablo III beta last week. It was Diablo, but prettier. I was instantly in love-lost-dick-groaning. It felt so ready! Maybe I was delusional, cause Blizzard is now gutting a lot of the core systems.
‘Diablo III’ Dropping February 1? Dark Gods, Yes!
If a sign at some errant Best Buy is correct, then Diablo III is dropping in less than a month. Color me skeptical but silently pleading.
World of Warcraft Subscriptions Down 10%, Still Sports Bulging User Base.
You know an MMO is enormous when it can shed 10% of its user base and still have a raging community. Such is the life of WoW, the Eternal Juggernaut of the MMO realm. As the news portends however, slowly the community is sloughing off its addiction.
‘Diablo 3’ Still Getting A Spit Shine, No Release Date. LORD HURRY.
Diablo 3. Where are you, my good friend. I need you.I need you inside me, filling me with diabolic warmth and ephemeral seed. It appears you’re still being worked upon, getting coats of polish. Mechanisms refined. We must wait. We must! So it seems.
Here’s some info to tide us over.
Blizzard Talking Console Controls for ‘Diablo 3’, Still Won’t Confirm It.
Blizzard hasn’t officially confirmed console versions of Diablo 3. That didn’t stop them at Blizzcon from discussing them working on getting the controls right for a console version. Which is about as a soft-but-official acknowledgement as you can get.
