Diablo 3 Release Day!

Diablo 3 was released today, or more accurately at midnight. The servers promptly crashed (which these days seems to be a badge of success), but were brought back online fairly quickly.

If you don’t yet have Diablo 3, you can still order it through Amazon, or (assuming you have a decent internet connection) just go straight through Blizzard and download it. I chose the former (according to Amazon I pre-ordered back in 2010), and am now a bit upset as my copy isn’t showing up until Wednesday, despite the fact that I should have Prime Release Day Shipping.

Jon isn’t excited about Diablo 3 (his loss), but I definitely am. I will be playing a

Wizard to start, though I was tempted to choose Witch Doctor (as that was closest to the D2 Necromancer).

What class are you going to be playing?

Visiting GDC2012 – Part 1 of 2

March 13, 2012

Last week was the yearly Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. I was lucky enough to get the chance to attend due to a gracious sponsorship from NeuroSky. GDC is primarily an industry event, but being a gamer, a techy, and a little bit of a developer in my free time… it’s really quite fascinating. I figured I would share what things I saw while I was there.

It's Starcraft 2 Day

July 27, 2010

We’re basically dead to the world today. Starcraft 2 is out today. Even though some of Blizzards changes make me very angry, I’m going to give them a shot. They’ve done well in the past, and I feel they should get one more shot. Of course if their DRM system is a problem, or the game feels like just 1/3 of a game… Jon is going to be very angry. Then y’all will get to enjoy more of those Vitriol posts you love so much.
