almost doesn't feel real. what has it been like 4 or 5 years since it was announced? I know it was before I got married. Now they play this cruel joke on me by releasing it 1 month after I have my first kid due. NOOOOOOOOO



official press release

Hehe, I think that just means you have to beat the game in under a month!

Well, with the birth of your first kid (congrats by the way!!) think of it this way: you will be up at odd hours and not getting any sleep. You might as well stay up and get even less sleep. You will be in such zombie mode for a while that a bit of time playing won't make a difference. Or you can wait for a month or so until they work out the initial bugs and play the game when it isn't crashing.

Wait, one month after? Oh, you'll be fine. Kid will (hopefully) be sleeping through the night, things will get back to normal sleep wise, but during the little one's naps, you can play!

Oh, I mis-read that too. Oops!

At one month they're totally old enough to understand class selection and the problem of evil, right? Make an account for the baby!

Giz being a daddy is a terrifying enough thought, but to have the baby showing him up on Diablo III, I dunno if he could handle it.

Having played the beta I can confirm the game can be played in exceedingly small chunks, 5min or less between checkpoints in the parts of the game included in the beta.
And congratulations on the baby!

so random thought. most people start their kids off as a (name) jr or a lil (name) but my kid... Gizanked's kid... will be Gizankid ohhhhhhh yeahhhhhhhhhh


or maybe not. I need d3

The Mrs. knows about this? I tried the same thing with my wife. "Honey, Troy sounds like a great name don't you think?" (me being a big USC Trojan fan). The cold silence I was greeted with would have been fitting for a crypt.

I can confirm that while crafting items is beyond the normal infant's grasp, they do pick up quickly the nuances of acquiring exp and saving the known world. Its really a DNA thing.

A nice reward for most college students finishing their finals!

This is a welcome surprise, I was just getting addicted to dungeon crawling again with Dungeons of Dredmor. I was thinking this wouldn't be out until near December, all I have to say is woohoo!

My wife and I can never have a son because I insist that he be would named Buckingham U. Badger and my wife says his name needs to be Thomas. We both think the other one is being wildly unreasonable.

I remember they made some pretty big changes in January. I just figured they end up reworking more stuff and would push it back to years end or worse...it is Blizzard after all.

I'm just happy it's coming out, I've had the collectors edition on pre-order for nearly a year.
