Of course I had to go back and dig up my old Diablo 2 discs, reinstall them and play some D2. It's still a blast. I'm ready for D3.

It's official.

UPDATE:
After watching a bit of the (somewhat choppy) gameplay trailer, I'm very excited. The absolute best thing I saw in the trailer was when the barbarian knocked over a wall to crush a load of zombies! Now I just have to wait for Blizzard to release this.

Reading tea leaves for Diablo fans.

OK, since seeing Guitar Hero, and now Rock Band, I've been saying that those would be great if you could use a real guitar and use the game as a learning tool. It seems that I'm not the only person who had this idea.

Guitar Wizard is apparently to be debuted at CES soon, and although the info at BoingBoing is slim, it looks like Guitar Wizard could be that teaching tool. Now I just need to wait for a bass version to come out and figure out how much it would cost to get a MIDI pickup on my bass.
