Blizzard Entertainment has recently announced the development of Starcraft II and Diablo III, but is that really all that they have planned? Speaking at the Invitational was Blizzard’s Rob Pardo, who said that “there is still one unknown project” currently under development at Blizzard, which is being worked on by “another development team”.
As mentioned on our twitter feed, Tiger Direct has a hot deal on refurbished Gateway M-6750’s. Just a year ago, Notebook computers of this quality and performance would cost around double if-not triple the price.
Within what you’re looking at lies an Intel Core 2 Duo @ 1.6Ghz, along with 3 Gigs of DDR2 RAM. That should be enough to power you through its included Windows Vista Home Premium installation.
If you’re looking for a good and affordable laptop, this may be an option.
Shortly after launching its “Countdown Site,” Square-Enix has officially announced that one of the greatest games of all time, Chrono Trigger, will be making its return to the hands of gamers everywhere, in Chrono Trigger DS. Unlike the Final Fantasy and Dragonquest remakes, Chrono Trigger’s graphics will not be getting a graphical overhaul, however will be reformatted to fit the DS’ dual-screen set-up, and add touch-screen functionality. They also plan to add in a new dungeon as well as some sort of “Wireless play” mode, so keeping all of this in mind we can assume it will be just as awesome as the original with some added goodies.
Square-Enix plans to have Chrono Trigger DS out by the upcoming holdiay season.
Square-Enix has launched a new “Countdown Site” which is made up of a Nintendo DS logo and a clock that makes ticking noises which aren’t in-sync with the actual second hand.
Judging by the clock and the site’s address (http://www.square-enix.co.jp/ctds / ) we can assume that they will be releasing a DS port of Chrono Trigger or something different but within the same theme.
Square-Enix closed down a fan-built Chrono Trigger Ressurection Project back in 2004 which would be a hint that the company still had plans for the series and didn’t want Fans taking off with it. We’ll have more news for you here as the story develops.
…Yesterday! That is. Rumors and pleas for a third installment in the Diablo series have been in circulation for years now, and Blizzard looks not to let their fans down, by finally developing Diablo III!
I’m sure that I don’t speak for myself when I say that I’m extremely happy and excited, being Diablo is the only online RPG that I actually like and don’t get bored with in three seconds. Gamespot has a twenty-minute narrated demonstration of the game up which is filled with pure awesomeness. The modern graphics, as well as the new environmental effects look absolutely stunning.
Blizzard’s not quite set on an actual release date at this time, but they’ll hopefully be giving plenty of information on classes and the story to keep us all sane as we finally come to the end of this long wait.
Before I go to sleep finally (I mean, It’s 2:40AM here right now…) I’ll just post some quick news to supplement for the lack of it here lately.
An Australian man has put his “entire life” up for sale on eBay. Ian Usher is offering his house, car, motorbike, jetski, and all his other goodies he has via the internet’s largest auction site. The winner of the auction will even get introductions to Usher’s friends and family, as well as a two-week trial at his current job as a carpet store assistant.
That’s right, we at [I'm a] PC Site are not only just supplying the internet to your homepage, but we’re also here to help you start off your day with our new PCS Travel Mug!
It’s quick, simple, cheap, and you can do it too! I mean, no sense in worrying about breaking something if it’s already broken, right?
A comment I made earlier today on the wall of the Facebook group “15,000,000 for lower gas prices”, which contains 1,684,698 members at this point (only off the mark by a few million):
Of course all gas consumers want lower prices. Everyone who buys gas would like it to cost $0. And of course all gas sellers want higher prices. Everyone who sells gas would like it to cost $1,000,000 per gallon.
The whole point of a market is to find the price in between where supply and demand are roughly equal. By saying that the market price is the wrong one, you’re just rehashing the old and dead concept of the just price. Just saying “we want lower gas prices” means nothing; it’s changes in supply and demand that count.
Rather than joining this group and complaining about gas prices, I’d recommend that you help reduce demand by conserving energy and driving less, and encouraging others to do the same; and help increase supply, by writing to your representative/MP and encouraging him/her to back measures to remove taxes and environmental measures that discourage and reduce drilling and refining. Everyone wants lower gas prices, but it won’t happen just by complaining.
The great comedian passed away Sunday at the age of 71. May he rest in peace. In lieu of a tribute, I will merely point the reader to Jerry Seinfeld’s well-written, funny and meaningful elegy.
I couldn’t even count the number of times I’ve been standing around with some comedians and someone talks about some idea for a joke and another comedian would say, “Carlin does it.” I’ve heard it my whole career: “Carlin does it,” “Carlin already did it,” “Carlin did it eight years ago.”
And he didn’t just “do” it. He worked over an idea like a diamond cutter with facets and angles and refractions of light. He made you sorry you ever thought you wanted to be a comedian. He was like a train hobo with a chicken bone. When he was done there was nothing left for anybody.
After you’re done reading that, I’ll leave you with this:
