Corusca

I was Internet-less during the weekend, but managed to know that Blizzard’s ongoing splash screen announcement was indeed Diablo 3, just as I thought. I hadn’t been able to post anything about this yet, so here goes my general feeling toward this: Hell, YES! \o/

I loved the two previous Diablo games and can’t wait to kick some more Diablo ass. The release date hasn’t been disclosed yet, but I guess at least another year is to be expected. There’s some info on the official Diablo III site, as well as screenshots, artwork images, a cinematic trailer and a gameplay trailer which looks nifty.

Two classes out of a total of five have been announced – Witch Doctor and Barbarian. A novelty in this game, regarding what was present in previous Diablo games, is that all of the five classes will allow the choice of a male or female character. No matter how brilliant the previous Diablo games were, that was always a flaw – when you chose your class, you were always stuck with the gender that was assigned to it. I was lucky because the classes I wanted to play were usually female – Rogue in the first game, Sorcerer and Assassin on the second.

Anyway, I can’t wait to play this. And I feel the urge to play Diablo II again.

The weekend is almost here and mine will consist of going off somewhere with some friends for a birthday celebration and:

• Eat tons of charcoal roasted sardines (love them!) / cherry peppers / other yummy stuff. Nom nom nom!
• Birthday gift-giving to someone special, who I’m hoping likes the gifts. :D
• Reading. In the morning I’m usually one of the first people up from bed and it’s the perfect quiet time to read.
• Photo-taking. Yes, more photos.

Maybes:

• Play role-playing games. Vampire the Masquerade is the most likely candidate
• Attempts at archery
• Walking on the beach

Then I’ll return exhausted and will finally be able to play some Grand Theft Auto IV. I hope. :P

My friend José sent me a tip about Grand Theft Awesome IV. It’s a parody about Grand Theft Auto IV, if you hadn’t already figured it out. Hilarious even though I haven’t played GTA4. Only next week. Seems that the same guy who made the video has a series of other videos one can check out here.
