I wouldn't go that black and white with it, but yes people are usually the problem.

They probably could have broken $20B valuation without your actions :)

If anyone is interested. Blizzconline is tonight and tomorrow at 5PM EST. Usually its held at a convention center in California but Covid has ruined that too. But now we get watch it all streamed for free!

Yesterday some info was already leaked, like the confirmation of Classic WoW's first expansion The Burning Crusade! YAY! But i'm also interested in hearing more about Diablo 4, Overwatch 2 and hoping maybe a new game will be announced.

This webpage gives some of the Youtube and Twitch links you can watch this at if you don't have the Blizzard app loaded onto your PC.

Funny you ask, i was just going to put this post up.

Diablo 4 trailer. Basically its just a preview of the rogue class but it's pretty badass. No release date has been set yet.




But the big story that wasn't leaked before the Blizzcon event was this.





I'm pretty sure we can all get down with a little Diablo 2 remaster.

Was it? must've missed that somehow. Either way, still was the biggest surprise for myself. Between that and The Burning Crusade expansion to WOW Classic Blizzard got me hooked to spend some more cash.

Oh yeah, Diablo 4 will also be a day 1 purchase whenever that may be released. Could be some time for that though.

It was leaked on reddit. I was going to post that here, but it was 1 day before the announcement. My family is excited.

Maybe the funniest thing to happen over the weekend with Blizzcon... Metallica streaming a live performance on Twitch where the stream got overdubbed by elevator music because of DMCA rules and regulations. All of this started way back with Metallica and Napster, how funny that it has come full circle. :lol: :lol: :lol:

3 years later decided to play a season again with my wife + 1 kid. I made level 125 yesterday as a demon hunter. Shadow Impale build, or something. Top 1000 chart, though, cuz the build is popular this season (season 27). The angelic crucible helps making builds.

Unless there are Steam keys, I'm not buying and I would buy this in a second.

Blizzard has recently put Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4 on Steam, so maybe someday? But nothing on that right now.

Wife wanted to play Diablo IV with the youngest. We bought the game a while ago. It took literally 60 minutes to 1) update the game, 2) Get daughter's account into battle.net, 3) resolve microsoft login issues, 4) resolve console login issues (delete profile, re-add), and 5) go through the stupid prologue.

Switch rules.

The upgrade was 110GB. And battle.net logging in all the damned time is annoying.

Back when the kid was wee, and getting consoles for xmas, I'd open it up the week before and load/patch shit up. Because the 1+ hour setups are stupid.

Back in my day completed games came on a CD and didn't need online access.
