It's April Fool's Day!

Exploding waves of demons.

It seems like a weird question when you first ask it, but it is something I've been thinking about a lot recently.

I won't lie, while I like Torghast, I ended up feeling like it missed the boat in terms of delivering a satisfying single-player experience.

I say this as someone who has been playing World of Warcraft since release, who has played every single Diablo game the moment they came out, and who basically has found himself turned into a meme based on my love for specific classes in said games -- but sometimes I wonder why I'm so invested in these games.

For me, the natural demarcation line for the WoW Classic concept was, well, level 60.

I have wanted Barbarians in World of Warcraft forever.

Forged in the Barrens, the latest expansion for Hearthstone, is coming out next week. Burning Crusade Classic should be launching the beta any day now, and Diablo 2: Resurrection should be starting its technical alpha in the next few weeks if it looks to meet the promised 2021 release.

There's a solid chance we'll see the first build of Burning Crusade Classic's beta test go live this week, and that's gotten me thinking about what exactly people are going to want to test and learn from it all.

This may sound like a weird thing to ask, but I've been thinking about Diablo 4 and how the Action-RPG has evolved over the years, and how the storytelling on games like Diablo 2 and Diablo 3 centers the player and their choices.
