Here is the first official trailer of GTA 5

Mario Wedding Invitations

I am definitely going to have something like this for when I get married.  And just like how I'm going to name my first daughter Zelda, my future wife is going to be ok with this as well!

So of course there is a new expansion to WoW...

I thought I was done with it but then they just had to bring out the Pandaren race...UGH! Blizzard!! Why do you keep doing this to me??

Diablo Retrospective

Post-it Wars!

Here we go again...

I know I didn't post anything about this before but on my Facebook, I did.  Some offices here in Seattle are putting up post-it notes to recreate 8-bit video games.  One company actually remade the whole first level to Mario!

Pretty cool realistic PS3 commercial...it's kind of touching in a weird nerdy kind of way :(

Diablo III Beta Screenshots

Thanks to my friend, I was able to get in on the Diablo III Beta test.  (It's great to know people!)

Here are some screenshots.  I apologize for my "followers" that don't know what I'm talking about or play this or any other video games.

I thought Deckard Cain was really old in Diablo II...He must be SUPER old now!

Rather than Scrolls of Town Portals, there is a Stone of Recall.  It isn't instant like D2 but rather like a hearthston from WoW.  It still makes a portal so you can go back to where you used it last.

This thing is a mobile buyer.  Basically you won't ever run out of space again.  You just sell your items in your inventory with this cauldron.

If you've played WoW, this is basically a disenchanter.  You disenchant your items and you will get materials so that the blacksmither can craft a new armor or weapon.

You no longer have to pick up gold.  If you walk over it, it'll automatically get picked up; however, if you use this item, it summons a companion (I've had a snake, a roach, a spider, and a bat) to pick up the gold that drops from stuff.

WHAT?!? Are those 2 legendary weapons already?!? :)  Must be a drop for beta.

This is your skills.  You gain skills at certain levels but you only get a certain amount of slot for them.  As your level increases, you will open new slots which will allow you to use more skills at one time.

As you can see in the first screenshots, you still get a merc.  You can give them new items and what not.  As their level increases, they open up new abilities like heal for 60 pts every so often, heal party members a certain amount of health each sec if they are near the "follower"/merc, etc.

PS3/Xbox 360 Combo

A guy took his PS3 and 360 and gutted them.  He then took the parts a stuck them in a PC case.  They are both functional and they stay cool.

If I had the time and resources, I'd totally do this!
