Diablo III's Collector's Edition is Killer

[varkias]

Oh wow, those aren't bad at all.  My PC is about 4 years old at this point, I'm running 8800 GTs too in SLI.  I can pretty much play any games, but I can't run most of the new stuff maxed out anymore

Yeah as far as processing power and ram I'm all set. The graphics card could use an update though. Did some cleaning in my PC room today and while I was at it I loaded up the desktop and updated it with the latest driver for now.

I've never ran 2 graphics cards before. Maybe if i snagged a new one I could run both my 8800 GT and whatever else I get simultaneously? I don't know a lot about that kinda stuff though.

Is your motherboard sli compatible? To run SLI both cards have to be the same.

Ah, that I'm not sure of, other than I know there are 2 PCI Express slots on the board.

Just watched this preview of Blizzard's Book of Cain companion, the artwork alone blows me away. I love when game companies go full nerd and bust out things like this.

@madmax Yes, but then I could ruin the game that way! I'm actually glad I missed out on the beta, so I didn't ruin the beginning of it.

Got the Book of Cain supplement book in the mail Monday. This thing is wicked, the cover is textured and all of the info really builds on the mythos. Not to mention the artwork, it's amazingly well drawn. Plus it comes with a map of Sanctuary, they even made it look weathered. I'll have to frame it along side the Skyrim map.

[varkias]

oh, I still need to pick this up!

[scott]

@varkias you should, especially if you are into the backstory. Im also reading the novels while I wait for Blizzard to finally release the game.

You know, I never really followed the story of Diablo at all... I just kill monsters and level up and stuff
Maybe I should look into it more.

Well, they just announced Diablo is coming to consoles. Personally I think it's not going to be as good as the PC version, but the masses rose up and begged for it, and Blizzard bent over for them. As long as this doesn't push the development time even further back I'm fine with it. But, they already tried Diablo on console before and it was meh. So I'll still be getting it for PC, the addition of Achievements or Trophies isn't enough to get me to switch to a console version of the game.

Little over a month until Diablo III!

Im glad you bumped this. Im so going to pre-order this.

I'll be battle.net'ing the shit out of this game.
