Blizzard Shows Off Diablo III Archivist Class, WoW Dance-Off
It's been a busy day for the folks at Blizzard, who have released major announcements for several different games. The next Diablo III class has arrived: the Archivist. Despite their frail appearance and hunched, labored movement, they are quite deft at launching Quest Bolts at nearby foes, or conjuring a whirling Lore-nado of spinning books. Loud monsters can be silenced with a devastating Shush attack. Blizzard also put Starcraft II's latest unit on display, the Terra-Tron, which is a giant, robot uber-weapon assembled from the buildings in your base. Finally, for World of Warcraft they announced two features that have been requested by players for years: a battle of dances, where you can show off your avatar's hippest moves, and the ability to 'p1mp' your mounts. (Not sure exactly what that means, since I don't speak elvish, but there's a Nightsaber with a cannon — holy crap!)
I'm gonna hafta half-agree here. Maybe not with the whole "complete insanity" part, but for god's sake... this shit is REALLY annoying at this point. It's April 2nd somewhere; let's just call it a day on the stupid April Fools BS.
Enough already. Its April Fools Day, we get it, you can stop now.
