Diablo III Announced

We've all been waiting for this one. I must say they have done a good job of keeping it under wraps. There have been a few small rumors but nothing of note. And from the looks of the trailers, they have been working for quite some time. The game play looks fantastic and the art work really makes me want to dust off my D2 disks. In the mean time I will just bring up the Flash Page and enjoy the background music.

The Changing Face of World of Warcraft

Back in March Blizzard released patch 2.4 and significantly altered a good portion of the overall gameplay and provided a much more casual experience. Since then Blizzard has continued to make the game more approachable through new dungeons and removing attunements and other restrictions throughout the game. While this may open up a lot of new content to the masses and help the game's overall appeal, does this continuing trend promise to alienate the high-end players who thrive on new challenges? Should Blizzard care?

Template Change

I changed to a new Blogger template. I couldn't deal with the width limitations on the old one. I can pretty much duplicate the colors in this one and it is a lot more legible.
