Diablo III: Special Class Dropped? (VG)

Diablo III: Special Class Dropped? (VG)Well, the 12-year wait for a sequel is over and Diablo fans are dusting off their criticism caps for another jab at industrial snob Blizzard Entertainment. Blizzard as you may know, is the poorest, most under-funded, and most “indie” niche developer in the video game market due in no small part to the fact that they have created exactly 3 playable games (none of them popular) since their founding in the early 90’s.

Honey Badger vs. Chuck Norris

Honey Badger vs. Chuck NorrisThey’re not cute and they’re not adorable, but honey badger don’t care.
