On the verbose expression of language


I approached this game with discretion.

Yes I love Penny-Arcade, yes I wanted to check the game and the guys have made little noise about, not using all of their own site to do shameless self linking. So last night I download the demo and I’m happy to say the game rocks.


They’ve imagined a complete retro scenario, integrating the characters from the beloved comic series, and created a lush RPG world that is actually fun. Only for 20 dolars (or download the demo if you are cheap).

D3 Barbarian Diorama


I really like the design of the prototype, the sculptors took their time and did their homework.
If you watched the screen shots and concept art from the game you'll realize the model is true to the art direction in all regards. Heck, the barb is my least favorite character of the diablo series and I'd still want to get this figure.


The price... well that's another story.

"The Nefarious Necromancer"


No, they are not nefarious per se, that's only the perceived image of these people. Actually they are supposed to be discrete and intelligent, always looking for balance and meditation. The nefarious ones within their ranks (i.e. psychopath or disbalanced individuals) would be shunned from their society.

Now regarding the figure... Sweet geekery!
Maybe one day this baby could appear as a full diorama, just like the D3 Barbarian. More on that in the next post. In the mean time imagine this guy as a lvl91 mofo, soon to be a lvl99 killing machine.
