One of the most surprising experiences for me in terms of gaming recently, has to be Diablo 3 on console. I sat down a couple months back to play it for the first time on Xbox 360. And it was good. It was damn good. PC gamers have had a chance to play the latest expansion of that game for a while now, and you can bet that I’m eager for the PS4 version. Here’s a trailer to get you pumped up.
The trailer above also showcases the new Crusader class. He’s heavy, built like a horrible mother-in-law and can deal almost as much damage. The Ultimate Evil Edition isn’t exclusive to PlayStation 4 by the way.
It’ll be out on PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox One and Xbox 360 on August 19 as well, and will take players from the start of Diablo 3 all the way through the latest Reaper of Souls act. The game has a bunch of other additions, such as new monsters, catch-up co-op for weaker players, new lore and the chance to send killer monsters to your friends.
I rather like that. I’m enough of a jerk to spend hours upon hours grinding my way into Nephalem godhood, just so that I can allow a monster to slay me and become a bane for Gavin when he starts the game. Who else wants to be my friend then?

I can just imagine Gavin’s terror upon starting a game & being subjected to this hideous monster.

I haven’t been on Diablo for a little while… had to kick my addiction after getting my 4th character to lvl 70.

Damn, impressive.
Currently on 1st jam with DH, lvl 56 I think

Yeah, just saw that… (the joys of the D3 site)… I battle playing with the DH, really enjoyed lvling my Barb, Wiz, Crusader and Monk though.
I still want at least one lvl 70 of each class… but then I won’t gear up my current lvl 70’s, and getting to where you can play on torment takes quite a while sometimes.

Blizzard acknowledged a survivability issue with the DH, but have apparently fixed it. 2 levels away from my 4th level 70.

I’ll have to give a DH a go again and see how I fare… I kept running into multiple groups of elites or rares or both on normal… was a nightmare!

I was playing with my wizard this morning and managed to pull 3 champion packs at at the same time.

Yeah, I didn’t have any issues lvling with my wizard… they’re a bit insane.

Think this should be called the “As much money as Blizzard can grab for 1 extra act” Edition

True horror will be if he discovers he is Force Sensitive

He is. He is sensitive to the force of a bullet being shot at his smug little face.

He’s too old to be trained as a Jedi.
His only choice is to become a Sith.

Star Wars Episode VII
The Gungan Unleashed
It is a time of relative peace for the Galaxy
After the Destruction of the second DEATH STAR,
Empire Forces have been on the run from Rebel mop up crews.
Meanwhile, on Tatooine, LUKE SKYWALKER meets a Gungan down on his luck.
After throwing the vote and putting the Empire in power, Jar-Jar Binks was exiled to the barrend lands of Luke’s home world.
It is here that Luke learns of Jar-Jar’s hidden Force abilities, and if Jar-Jar remains untrained, he may become even a bigger menace than the dreaded DARTH VADER.
