Diablo 3's in development.

It just happens to be called Hellgate:London.

Same team, same gameplay, same monsters, different setting. And like the other Diablos, from the looks of things it's made of pure awesome.

A lot of people are talking about how more CPU allows for more AI, as well as more Graphics.

There was a game a few years ago, Black & White, that had more complicated AI than most of the games today. There was another, Revolution: The Republic, with similar levels of AI.

Black & White did OK, but the sequel did very little. Revolution: The Republic bombed.

Much as prettier graphics don't make a better game, more complicated AI doesn't make a better game.

Because some people can't be bothered to spend 2 minutes on the internet....

If you think you need over $1500 to get a decent PC gaming rig, then you are ignorant of current PC hardware prices, sorry.

A friend of mine was in a handicrafts store (fabric, sewing equipment, etc), looking for a particularly hard to find item.

When she asked one of the sales staff whether they had any, she was told "No - that one's a random drop".

All of the quitting announcements are by definition dramatic nonsense. No-one's making you play the game. You don't like it? Stop playing. World of Warcraft is just one computer game among many.

#73:

I made jokes during my eulogy for my mother last year - she died of cancer.

The audience loved it, and I knew that my mother loved it.

If it's offensive, that's for the brother of this guy to say - not for any self-appointed sanctimonious moral arbiter.
