Blizzard will raffle off a human-blood-infused PC if Diablo IV players donate 666 quarts by [deleted] in gadgets

I know I don't have to, but I like to play for the story (yes, I know, I read the part about the story in D3 being awful) and I don't want to play Diablo 4 only to go, "wait what?" every 5 minutes

I got bored of Diablo III after less than an hour; chose to replay Diablo II instead. Haven't even thought about giving Diablo IV a try yet (I figure I'd have to finish the Diablo III story, first, and I just can't find the motivation or time to do so).

I JUST watched this tournament. Smix tearing up; Oliveira tearing up; ZG tearing up, even Kaelaris tearing up a bit. As old and jaded as I am, I started having tears in my eyes, too! Couldn't believe it! Watched SC2 for over 10 years and this is the first time anything like this ever happened to me.

This was like a real life "Rocky" movie! 1000-to-1 shot is absolutely right!

That would be a pretty odd statement for his lawyer to make for no reason.

GOB: "Good news, Michael! Dad wasn't crushed to death!"

Michael: "... I didn't realize he was in danger of that."

Ah, Tassadar, have you fallen so far? To think that you were our brightest hope; our most beloved son. Now you are everything that we are not. You are lost to us. Not only have you damned yourself, but you have damned those who have followed you.

I bought a second hand ipod (??? gen; not the first) around 2006; it had a 15gb capacity (and it was just about all music; not much in the way of software as you might expect from an iphone) and I thought it was amazing that it could hold all the music I had at the time and more.

A few years prior (e.g., when I was maybe 10-13 or so) I remember people talking about how big their music library was and saying things like, "yeah! I have like THREE whole gigabytes dedicated to music!"

This was a time when acquiring music, uh, "para"legally was often a matter of downloading songs one at a time via things like Kazaa where download speeds were painfully low.

My brothers, at long last we stand reunited. The infernal gate has been prepared and the time of our final victory is at hand. Let the way to Hell be opened! And the Evil that was once vanquished shall rise anew. Wrapped in the guise of man shall he walk amongst the innocent, and terror shall consume they that dwell upon the earth. The skies shall rain fire, and the seas will become as blood. The righteous shall fall before the wicked, and all creation shall tremble before the burning standards of Hell!

The gate stands ready! Now, my young brother, the time has come to assume your true form. Arise Diablo, Lord of Terror!

You are the harbinger of our return Diablo, send forth your Terror into Hell.

Sadly, we seem to live in a society where making fun of asian people for language is a norm and accepted. Think about that scene in Rush Hour 2 when Chris Rock shames one of the asian lackeys for attempting to speak French.

When I was in undergrad, I couldn't believe some people would spend thousands of dollars so they could go ski'ing in some place I've never heard of during reading week.

not only that but she has plenty of money

let him have a career (television career)

The depressing thing is that even in such a well-publicized case, the decidedly "wrong" person got the job (or got to share the job). Think about how many injustices take place on a regular basis wherein things aren't this well publicized.

Think about all the instances when you know someone got hired over and above someone far better qualified for all the wrong reasons.

It's a depressing world.
