As with all these fun things, there are kernels of truth. Diablo does tend to drop Dol runes. "Trout" does have a root in Greek meaning "nibble" or "gnaw".
First, the hit points. Diablo in Normal Mode of Diablo 2 has 13818 hit points (according to the useful Diablo Wiki). So we can rule out [...]

Debunking the Gnaw Fold Diablo 3 Myth

Bless those handsome devils at Valve! Looks like the Demoman is nerfed a little, and spies (I hate them so much!) and engies get a little boost. Here are the official changes (I’ve bolded the ones I found interesting):
The Engineer’s teleporters can now be upgraded to level three. It will recharge faster the higher level [...]
It’s not a great picture, but I got a phone snap of a Google Street View car on the freeway the other day. Nothing special, just thought I’d share.
I don’t speak Dutch so I have no idea what they’re saying in the video below, but I do know that the game footage excites me. I can honestly say that the original Ghostbusters movie was one of my favorites growing up (along with Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and the original TMNT movie). [...]
Someday I’ll have the time (but never the creativity) to build something like this. I’m not sure what it is that draws me to these steampunk creations, but they touch a special place in my nerdy little heart. Anyway… check out the entire Gizmodo gallery here.
I admire the Japanese for many things… their technological prowess, their ability to produce most of the worlds electronics and of course, their ninjas.

I’ve seen a few Wii-mote hacks over the last year, but this one takes the cake I think. This dude is pretty genius and his creative use of the Wii-mote makes me wonder what fun new tech we’ll see in the next 10 years. Freakin Amazing!
So I was just hangin’ out at work today preparing for the annual Omniture Halloween bash when this slick bit of Steampunk goodness unexpectedly arrived in my inbox courtesy of my good buddy Andy.
“What is it?” you may ask.
Well, let me tell you. It’s the most essential piece of equipment for [...]
Tried out the Call of Duty 4 demo this morning. My first thoughts are that it’s certainly a little more frenetic than 1 or 2, but the feel is very much the same. Graphics are excellent, even on my rig; my video card is a 6800 Ultra, so that holds me back a little bit [...]
The Orange Box is Portal-rific!
Published by October 12th, 2007 in Game Reviews and Games. 2 CommentsBeing the good little Valve fanboy that I am, I went out and picked up The Orange Box at Circuit City Wed evening after work (it’s currently on sale for $37.99 btw). Although I could have pre-ordered the bundle on Steam, I generally like to wait and pick up the discs. I’m [...]
