The much anticipated sequel has finally arrived. Diablo III was unveiled this weekend at the Porte de Versailles Exposition Center in Paris. An estimated 11,000 people were the first to get a glance of the game and many of its new features. This game consumed a whole summer of my life, and I don’t regret it one bit. Here is the open cinematic teaser and character classes:
As if x-mas wasn’t close enough, office Max has a pretty damn cool game where you put your face on a dancing elf and watch it dance. Great time waster for those lame afternoons at work: www.elfyourself.com
I have a weakness for anything Nintendo, old school Nintendo. I grew up with Nintendo games, systems, PJ’s and cartoons. Nintendo’s golden days are over but they are still resonating in people’s hearts. Here are a couple of interesting Nintendo related links:
Casa Mario – A room decorated wall to wall with Super Mario World levels. Very cool idea.
The Real Paper Mario – Make your own 3D Nintendo charaters out of paper.
8bit Peoples – Nintendo inspired music, also known as Nintendocore. They extract game sounds and recompose them to make crazy beats. Make sure to check the site for tons of Mp3s.
Lego Mario – Here’s a good example of someone having a lot of free time on their hands with a love for Mario.
