The State of the Diablo 3 Beta (Two Videos)

It's been almost four years since Diablo 3 was announced, and its development began years earlier. Its predecessors helped define the action RPG genre, so anticipation is high among fans of the franchise. The game has undergone closed beta testing since September, and a lot has changed since then. Now that Blizzard has settled on May 15th as a release date, we thought this would be a good time to take a look at the state of the game as it currently exists. These two videos show actual gameplay of the various classes, explain the skill and rune systems, take a look at the auction house, and go over many of the other changes since the beginning of development. (Click to play the first video, and the second one will play automagically after the first one ends.)

the ideal usage

The ideal usage for a screwdriver is to remove screws, but tool manufacturers don't stand over your shoulder and slap your hand when you want to use one to open a can of paint.

I also can't help but notice there's a spike in ACs in this topic writing long, thoughtful posts supportive of Blizzard in an article that reads like yet another slashvert.

Troubling.
