Diablo 3 Release Date

Finally!  A release date for D3 has been announced: May 15th.  That's only
 Which means it will only have been around how long? Maybe 10 years, 10 months and 15 days since the last Diablo content was released.. not that anyone's been counting. That's quite a period of time for a game to be hyped up. Let's hope it delivers because I've missed the excitement of frantic clicking, potion popping and demon slaying. I don't necessarily think this will mess up my plans with Tera either. If anything their release dates being 2 weeks apart will keep me from losing interest in either of them. Now I just have to figure out what class I'm going to play...

Tera CB3

One more weekend in the world of Arborea came and went. The week after was a fairly busy one as well, only now have I really found the time to recap my experience with the third closed beta. I might as well just come out and say it,  Tera CB3 was boring. At least, being on a PvE server and no new dungeons becoming available with the level cap only being raised to 32 (up from 27). There were however some new regions to explore, new big ass monsters (BAMs) to kill and a much needed fix (in this case a removal) to the game's profanity filter.

A few hours after the servers came up on Friday this
System message was broadcast

She's tall.. probably means she's important or something

Tera: Second Closed Beta

The second weekend of Tera closed beta brought a fair number of expected changes. Some of the more noticeable of those changes included the level cap increase to 27 (up from 22), 2 new PvP specific servers (up from 0), and an additional character slot on each server (up from 1 slot per server). I also experienced my first unexpected server downtime period late Sunday night around midnight (EST). Here, enjoy some fresh beta pictures:

Strategizing is always exciting

What kind of game doesn't have fluffy little things
like this guy hopping around?

It's a ladder, and yes, I'm climbing it
