Diablo 3
There are important moments in history. The Revolutionary War. The first man on the moon. And the development of Diablo 3.
Diablo has been part of my gaming make up for as long as I can remember. In fact, I can’t even recall when I first started playing some iteration of it. As far as I know, I’ve always been playing.
Last week Blizzard began teasing the world with a “major announcement” on June 29th. There was a lot of speculation. Some thought it was another StarCraft game, others wondered if it had something to do with Warcraft, and even a few (myself included) wondered if it might be a sequel to Lost Vikings. Kotaku even made fun of people who thought it was going to be Diablo 3.
Fortunately Blizzard finally announced Diablo 3. After years of rumors, denials, and more rumors, we get to start counting down to its release. It’s too early to have any idea if Diablo 3 will be any good. But it’s made by Blizzard and they always seem to release good stuff.
But as a busy gamer, this poses a challenge for me. I find myself consumed with thoughts of a game that probably won’t be released until 2010 at the earliest. That’s a long time to wait and think about what might be.
Do I have the stamina for that? More importantly do I have the patience for that?
I suppose only time will tell. One can only hope that someone will have built a time machine by then…

I guess I’m going to have to buy a new PC in 2010 so we can play this co-op.
And don’t even think about freezing yourself Cartman-style to send yourself into the future to spare the agony of waiting =)

That’s something I hadn’t considered. My fear is I’d end up as a delivery boy 1000 years in the future…
