I’ve grown to enjoy the story behind the Diablo franchise and how it can pull in newcomers and fans alike into the game. Diablo IV was first announced back during BlizzCon 2019 and many people showed excitement about the franchise’s continuation. For me, I skipped out on Diablo Immortals since Diablo IV was on my radar. The last Diablo game I played was Diablo III, which to this day I ...[Read More]
Back in the days of the new millennium, I spent a lot of time divided between two games: EverQuest, and Diablo II. When I wasn’t smashing skeletons and scorpions in Kunark’s Field of Bone, I was digging my way through the maggot caves looking for the Staff of Kings, one of the two pieces of the Horadric staff. I’d love to tell people how I was an avid isometric RPG fanboy whoR...[Read More]
As the resident Diablo guy around here, I was actually just going to wait until release to play Diablo II Resurrected simply because I didn’t want to ruin it for myself. I knew I’d jump in and just keep playing once I started, but thankfully, the beta only gives you access to act 1 and 2, so it was decently easy to unplug after a few hours. Diablo II is one of my favorites. This is due...[Read More]
Earlier this month, Blizzard held their annual Blizzcon but with a twist. Instead of an in-person event, Blizzard announced BlizzConLine, a digital version of their media event. During the event, Blizzard announced Diablo 2 Resurrected and the Blizzard Arcade Collection. In addition to the two new games announced, Blizzard revealed new expansions for their top titles. Hearthstone will receive anew...[Read More]
I often like collecting lots of hoodies and random Blizzard items and my room has items ranging from art from Diablo III, Overwatch hoodies from JINX, and other small random items from PAX events. The first Blizzard GearFest is now live as a retail celebration that delivers all new and exclusive products to Blizzard fans across their favorite franchises. Just in time for the holidays, Blizzard is ...[Read More]
With Summer just a day away, many in the Northern Hemisphere look to escape their home prisons and unwind. 2020 has been a wild year so far. Threats of War, Australian Fires, COVID 19, and a civil rights movement (BLM) are just four key moments in 2020. With warmer days ahead, many plan to unwind this summer whether it be by the pool or out on a lawn chair. While protocols and restrictions are sta...[Read More]
For those who were alive in the ’90s, you probably have a list of games that you loved from that era; games such as Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Ocarina of Time, Final Fantasy 7, and even Pokemon Red and Blue top the list. At the end of the ’90s, one franchise shocked everyone by rolling in from out of nowhere. With nostalgia dominating the video game industry for the last decade, it co...[Read More]
When you think of Gears of War, what do you think of? Do you think of The Coalition taking over after Epic’s Departure? Are the adventures of Marcus Fenix or Kait Diaz the first thing that come to mind? If you talk about Gears of War Staff who are the three names that come to mind? Easily, Cliff Bleszinski, John Dimaggio, and Rod Fergusson are the first three names that come to mind. Sadly, ...[Read More]
Yesterday afternoon, we had the pleasure of meeting with Blizzard-Activision and their assisting PR team to preview Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. Upon arriving in the private event suite, we were offered candy, soda, and water to get our engines revving. The wheels slid off the track though when the team decided to reveal that Spyro Reignited Trilogy would be coming to the Nintendo Switch on Sep...[Read More]

When we’d last left Kaelisse and Landralus, it was a couple of days before The Battle for Azeroth hit and shook everything up once again. Landralus had completed basic Monk training in Pandaria, and was ready for the new expansion, or so I thought. Lissy was off chasing critters to be Azeroth’s greatest pet trainer, and was far too busy to notice some minor incidents like Lady Sylvanus burning dow...[Read More]
Blizzard has announced that departed gaming commentator John “TotalBiscuit” Bain will be memorialized in one of the games he supported the most, Starcraft II, through a commemorative cosmetic items bundle available for a limited time within the game. Far from being a cynical cash grab for Blizzard, they also announced in the same blog post that 100% of the proceeds from the sales of th...[Read More]
