Hey, so you’ve been playing D3? Have you been hating on it? Is your big complaint that Diablo 3 is dumbed-down and forces you to play with only some specific skills, and only in certain hotkeys? This game isn’t customizable and boy does that suck! If that’s how you feel about it, well, you just didn’t know how to customize it.

I play boardgames like Settlers of Catan, collectible card games like Magic: the Gathering, PC games, Console games, and even stupid Facebook games. I’ve been aware of baseball for a while now.

Language shift is a hilarious thing. It can turn labor into a robot, it can make important words into mundane meaningless drivel. For example, it can take the balls off of epic. You know what I’m talking about. Suddenly getting a free size upgrade on your coffee is EPIC, or saying something clever about your
