On June 29th, 2000, things would never be the same (and I would lose a girlfriend over a videogame.) Ten years ago today, Diablo II was unleashed upon the gaming world. Let’s take a walk down memory lane, shall we?

Seagate’s much talked about and long rumored release of a 3TB hard drive has finally become a reality. Seagate has confirmed that they are bringing a $250 3TB external hard drive to market. Interestingly, the unit can be upgraded to USB 3.0, which will be useful if you have a ton of data to back up…which you likely would, if you bought this monster.
Slashfilm is reporting that the Back to the Future trilogy, one of the most beloved 80′s movie series, is finally coming to Blu-Ray…and it looks like the special features are going to be worth the price of admission alone. This one is definitely on the wish list.
The Supreme Court has finally released their opinion regarding Bilski v Kappos, the long-running case with huge implications regarding business method and program patents. Check out Patently O’s coverage, and be sure to read the decision yourself right here.
Ars Technica has posted their review of the newest iPhone hardware revision. Like most reviews, they seem to be overall impressed with the latest update to Apple’s runaway hit. Here’s to hoping they get the ludicrous signal issues fixed soon. Jobs’ response didn’t give me much confidence in this happening in the near future, though…
Okamiden is the follow-up to Okami, one of the most original and artistic games in recent memory. Showing up on Nintendo DS this time, we were a little worried that Nintendo’s handheld might be too underpowered for a visual feast like Okami…but it looks like Kotaku has been impressed with what they’ve seen.
Good afternoon, everyone! We just upgraded to WordPress 3.0, and it looks like our page navigation plugin (the one responsible for allowing you to jump between different pages) got borked in the process. For now, you can scroll through each page in order, but you won’t be able to jump pages for the time being. We’re working on finding another plugin (or getting a timeline on when the used-to-be-current plugin will be updated), but until then, page navigation is going to be slow and tedious.
If you notice any other weird issues going on, please let us know!
Good-sounding, comfortable, and stylish gaming headsets can be very hard to find…especially if you have a limited budget. Luckily, our very own AndreasL was able to find this decent headset from Creative.
Things around here are going to get a bit bumpy, since our wedding is now only 24 days away (eek!) Still, I thought I would drop in and inform you folks of an awesome thermal compound I’ve recently discovered.

Civilization addiction is a real problem, affecting ten out of every ten people that play any game in the Civilization series. It looks like Civilization V will be no different.
If you missed Civilization V’s trailer, you can check it out here.
