Weekend Gamer: Diablo (Bezlebub)
As part of the Halloween celebration here at W♥M, I wanted to revisit one of my favorite games: Diablo.
Weekend Gamer: Path of Exile 2
Earlier this year, in my review of Last Epoch, I wrote that Path of Exile 2 was going to launch in 2024. Well, the game has officially launched in beta on Friday, December 6, 2024. If you want to play the game, you are going to have to buy a $30 supporter pack. Otherwise, you will have to wait about a year before it officially launches as a free game.

Weekend Gamer: Vessel of Hatred
With the announcement of Diablo IV’s first expansion Vessel of Hatred coming out October 8, 2024, I’ve decided to go back to the game before the expansion is released. As you know, I’ve been playing the game since March 2023, but gave up on it due to lack of interests.
Last Epoch
To get my Diablo-style fix, I am re-playing Path of Exile, with a new character, playing in anticipation of Path of Exile 2… which is set to release sometime in 2024.
Weekend Gamer Update: Memorial Day Weekend
It’s Memorial Day Weekend, which means I have this Monday off and it’s a long weekend for me. As usual with these holidays, there are a lot of sales and deals all across retailers. I’m planning on going to a few Half-Priced Books to take advantage of their 20% instore purchases. The problem with HPB is that their stocks are limited and are vastly different from store to store. You never know what you are going to see, day to day, store to store.
Diablo IV Beta
You guys know me, I love Diablo. Ever since I played the demo disc from PC Gamer, I’ve been addicted to Diablo since 1996. I’ve bought every Blizzard games from Warcraft to Starcraft… but Diablo was my first love.
Weekend Gamer: Razer Kishi Controllers
I just bought the Razer’s Kishi Controllers (for the iPhone) on clearance from Target for $15. This is a massive saving, considering when it was originally released, it was $50 or more.
Diablo Immortal
Blizzard’s “Do you guys not have phones?” game, Diablo Immortal launched on iOS and Android on June 1st. The PC version followed soon after.

Weekend Gamer: Free Edition
With China’s Singles’ Day (or 光棍节 / Guanggun Jie) (11/11) here and United States’ Black Friday (11/22) coming up, we’re seeing huge savings on products across the board. While most of these items won't be on sale until the set dates, some retailers are already slashing prices this week in celebration.
Weekend Gamer: Gamer Unlock and StarCraft II
I recently signed up for Best Buy’s Gamers Unlocked membership, which costs $30 for two years. This is a similar program to GameStop’s Elite Pro Membership ($30 a year), only Best Buy’s program is more appealing thanks to its 20% off all new games (GameStop’s discount only applies to used games) and cheaper membership pricing.
Site Update: August 2017
Anyway, I actually went to Micro Center, hoping to pick up a used Samsung curved monitor, but the person working there couldn't locate it. So I wandered around and spotted another monitor in my price range: Acer's 32" ER Widescreen LED Monitor for $199. I was already quite happy with the cheap 27" Acer monitor from December 2014 (also for $199)... so getting the same brand made a lot of sense to me. According to the details, the new 32" monitor is faster at 4ms vs the old 27" monitor, which lists 6ms. For video gaming, you want a lower response time.

Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition
Sure, I said I have stopped buying Blizzard games because of their online requirements. For a long time, I refused to buy Diablo III because you have to have an online connection to play the game. The Blizzard people were saying that the online requirement was for gaming and their marketplace, but let's just call it for what it is: it's DRM and their fight against piracy.

Starcraft II
I was one of the 1.5 million players out there that bought Blizzard's Starcraft II. As much as I like playing strategy games, I have a few problems about this much anticipated game
