Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The willow is too close to the house.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

You cannot shame the shameless.

Diablo III announced:

Two decades have passed since the demonic denizens, Diablo, Mephisto, and Baal, wandered the world of Sanctuary in a vicious rampage to shackle humanity into unholy slavery. Yet for those who battled the Prime Evils directly, the memory fades slowly and the wounds of the soul still burn.

When Deckard Cain returns to the ruins of Tristram’s Cathedral seeking clues to new stirrings of evil, a comet from the heavens strikes the very ground where Diablo once entered the world. The comet carries a dark omen in its fiery being and it calls the heroes of Sanctuary to defend the mortal world against the rising powers of the Burning Hells – and even the failing luminaries of the High Heavens itself.

I was never a fan of Diablo or Diablo II, but my brother sure was. I am sure he will be excited.

    I’m excited as hell — except for the part about how my poor laptop probably won’t run it.

    I was really looking forward to Starcraft: Ghost, but it died. Still, SC2, so I can’t complain.

    I do wonder, though, if in the distant future people from Korea will look back on Starcraft like the 1800 Europeans look at Chess.

    Diablo 2 (Including the LOD expansion pack) and Civ III are about the only games I still play – although I came across my copy of Arcanum and sported around with it for a while. D2 is still fun to fire up for a quick few minutes of monster bashing. Don’t know about the new one; seems as though the sysreqs are in supercomputer territory while the gameplay hasn’t improved that much since the Nineties.

    Thanks a fuckin’ lot, Blizzard! Why must your games be so damn awesome? When Diablo II came out, I had to use a crowbar just to pry my little brother’s fingers from the keyboard and mouse to stop playing it!

    I’m currently miffed at City of Heroes. I’m actually getting tired of gaming. I blame Bush.

    I simply must stop everything and play this game for weeks the day it is released. Diablo is the best dungeon crawler game ever. Diablo 3 will be phenomenal.

    What a coincidence- two weeks ago I loaded Diablo I onto one of my older computers just to play it again. It’s still a pretty cool game. I never did play Diablo II.

    Read some of the background info at the D3 site. They’ve got some buried humor like with the “no one ever listens” bit. The part with the skeletons in the barrels is a hoot.
