“And while the law has many penalties for the atrocities we inflict on others, there are no punishments for the terrors that we inflict on ourselves. So you send your men. They won’t find themselves a fight.

They’ll only find an old man. An old man tired, but satisfied he did his duty. An old man weary from a mind more filled with memory than it is with hope.

Sincerely yours, the former Director of Project Freelancer, Dr. Leonard Church.”

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.

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?
