Diablo 3 Servers go live at midnight!

Diablo servers go live at 12AM Pacific DST. So is anyone going to pick it up and play it in the first week or so? I know I’ll be playing the hell outta it (no pun intended) as soon as the servers go live!

Ivy Bridge Has Arrived!

There has been much speculation on the Ivy Bridge release date. April 23rd was the official announcement date but many had speculated that Intel would hold out on distribution to sell off the Sandy Bridge inventory first. Fortunately, it appears as if many local dealers are already starting to sell the new line of processors (and Sandy Bridge at steep discounts). Dell even has an Ivy Bridge option if you are building a computer there. If you are planning to build a PC in the near future (possibly for Diablo III purposes), now would be the time to do it.

DLC: What We May Encounter

If you’ve been looking at the trends of technology recently, you’ll have noticed that DLC (Downloadable Content) has taken off significantly in the past ten years or so, especially thanks to the success of current generation consoles. But there’s a drawback to all this DLC and the need for some games or consoles that rely heavily on the internet. I’m not here to bash DLC or where things are going, but giving my opinion on where things are headed in the next ten to twenty years. Continue reading

Google Maps Goes 8-bit!

If you haven’t noticed, Google Maps on the computer has the option of going 8-bit for those who want to check it out, especially those who have an affinity for old school/retro graphics! All you need to do is to click the icon in the top right and switch it to Quest!

[UPDATE: APRIL 2, 2012] It seems this 8-bit feature has been taken off Google Maps after the weekend and was one of those April Fools jokes. It was a pretty neat feature to have. I’m hoping Google puts it back into their Maps function as a fun way to go about using their maps even though 8-bit maps may not be something that will be used every time someone looks up a location or directions.

Retro Gaming: A Retro-spective Look At Our Past

After the last podcast I just did with Markus, it got me thinking that we should go back to the classic. The talk about Pokemon going back to Generation One (Red,Blue and Yellow) and Two (Gold,Silver and Crystal) as Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time and then, I got the idea to play Super Mario Bros. 3 on the NES.
