- Diablo III has been announced! I was beginning to wonder if Blizzard would just ignore their pay-once franchise and focus on their MMORPGs. Apparently, they are not. Go to http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3/ for as many details as they're disclosing right now. At least there is a single-player option, so that's a pretty good indicator that the game can be played without a subscription. I hope it's true for the multi-player version, as well. The game looks pretty, and the advances haven't only been in the visuals. It's hard to wait, but we can start a pool now as to its ultimate release date. (Summer 2009, maybe? That's optimistic, I suppose.)
- A game of Eurorails was won by a player who built into Scandinavia. I don't think I've ever seen that before. Almost certainly not in a three-player game. On the other hand, it was Big Dog who won, and he's on a winning streak that just won't quit. I expect him to buy a Powerball ticket and get rich soon.
- Amazingly, I'm tired of the computer version of "Settlers of Catan." I think I'm about to get sucked back in to Civ III. Maybe I should just buy Civ IV and get started on that addiction.
The Ideas, Opinions and Musings of Steve Will. For years, I posted every weekday. That stopped quite a while ago, but lately I've been feeling like starting again, though not with the same regularity. I expect my most frequent topics will be movies, TV, and games, but what really started me up again was planning for retirement. I have old posts on learning. Oh, and I used to share photos. Welcome, and enjoy!
