Diablo

What is the Cowspiracy? They would tell you it's nothing. Nothing at all. Nothing to be concerned about. They hide behind equivocation, telling us not to be concerned. It's nothing, they say. Fanciful nonsense. But read between the lines and the truth soon becomes clear.

Diablo 3 will be three years old on May 15th, which means its time to celebrate — and a celebration, Diablo-style, means treasure goblins.

The barbarians of Sanctuary are called this by those who do not understand them or their ancient culture, which was a casualty of the schemes of Baal and the actions of Tyrael.

One of the core tenets of multiple Blizzard games is the immersive role that the player assumes within the game.

Will they announce a new Diablo III expansion at gamescom, at PAX, or even at BlizzCon? Are they working on one? What will it be? Will it have a new class and if so, what should it be? (My argument on this week's podcast was that it should be some variation on the Diablo II druid.) But the more I think about a Diablo III expansion, the more I wonder if what we really, ultimately want, is Diablo IV or perhaps even something else entirely set in the Diablo universe.
