What Diablo 3 Class Should I Play?

May 14, 2012 1 note gaming

Diablo 3 launches at midnight my time, and servers go live long after at about 3am EST. I won’t be able to play until about Thursday, as I’m heading out of town to pick up my sister from her first year of college.

Since I have the time to think about it (and the platform to consult for your opinion), I’m unsure of which class to pick!

I ordered one of my favorite games on Amazon the other day, Metal Arms: Glitch in The System. It’s one of our generations most overlooked titles in my opinion, one that received quite the solid report card from publications across the board. I had it for GameCube a few years ago, but was lost or sold back to GameStop or something — so I picked it up on Amazon for five bucks and free shipping. What a steal right? But…I’m in a bit of a fan-boy conundrum — it came new. Wrapping and all. I’m honestly not sure what to do about this. I’m sure I’ll open it in a few days, but I’m kind of in awe finding not only a new, wrapped Xbox title, but one that’s considered a cult classic and is typically hard to come across used…let alone new. Under reconsideration, this COULD have just been re-wrapped by the distributor, but why would they? That would only be beneficial if they were attempting to sell it to me as new, something some modern distributors are occasionally guilty of. So it wouldn’t make sense for them to go out of their way to make it seem new…would they? Forget it, I’m opening this baby. It must be played….right?

Fancy New Blog Look!

May 13, 2012 personal

As you might have noticed, the blog has changed quite a bit in terms of functionality and overall design. This is in part due to an awesome new theme, but also thanks to a certain Aaron Schwartz, who spent a good deal of time sketching up the fantastic header you see at the top of my blog.

Opinions — Tuesday’s Events and Amendment One

May 09, 2012 personal

Today is a day that will certainly exist in my memory for some time — one filled with outrageous levels of stress, anxiety, and headaches. In addition, events both digital, academic, personal and legislative took place today — all of which have caused me some deal of melancholy.

I have opinions, and I’d like to share them with you if you’re interested.
