What do you think a StarCraft FPS would have been like, and would you have played it?
Well, we've heard the rumors and we've had time to process it: We've lost Ares, a potential StarCraft FPS game along the lines of the Battlefield series.
Adorable pictures of whatever a ‘Wooloo’ is, as selected by someone who knows basically nothing about Pokemon

What would you choose for a Season power in Diablo 3?
After Season 16's Season of Grandeur buff and Season 17's Season of Nightmares , I think it's fair to say that Blizzard has hit on an interesting formula for future Seasonal play in Diablo 3. While some players have complained about Season 17's Legacy of Nightmare bonus being a bit hard to make work -- at least until you have enough Ancient Legendary pieces, anyway -- there's no denying that there's a certain amount of fun to be had in the concept of a special power that the Season bestows on all Seasonal characters.
