Crazy clicking creates copious cases of carpal tunnel.

Click. Click. Click. It’s hard to believe that a game that’s entirely based around mouse clicking can be as entertaining, addictive, and all-consuming as Diablo III is. Blizzard took twelve years to deliver the third release of their dungeon-exploring, monster-slaying, loot-hoarding series, and it was entirely possible that this game wouldn’t deliver on over a decade of anticipation. I’m here to tell you that Blizzard did indeed deliver and as soon as I’m done telling you exactly how amazing this game is you can count on me going back in for more clicking, carnage, and loot.

A delay in Korea could mean a delay everywhere.

We’re getting closer and closer to that fabled “early 2012” release of Diablo III. In fact, it seems like the hotly-anticipated dungeon crawler from Blizzard may be getting here sooner, as the company has submitted the game to be rated in Korea. The company has sent three submissions to the ratings board, with the first two coming back rejected and the third in discussion. While you would be forgiven for assuming that the problem is due to violence or religious issues, the reality is something much tamer, and yet could have large repercussions. The controversial auction house being implemented in Diablo III is something of a stumbling block for the Korean ratings board, which sees it as edging too close to gambling.
