Walking around and making dumb ass movie references is one of our most sacred American traditions.   Be it children running around pretending to be the characters themselves to adults wishing to convey a complex scenario with just a few words, quotes are embedded in our everyday lives.   I don’t know about you, but I take comfort in that.

So Diablo 3  has been out for over 24 hours, and for some of those hours it has even been playable! I figured it’d be done proper to get an open thread going where we can wax diabolical and the such. For the love of God please don’t use this venue for only  bitching about Blizzard’s chunky vomit all down the side of their pants. Game impressions, rants, funny happenings, et cetera. Let’s get it going.

Internet-famous nerd rager Francis is pretty awesome, once you realize its an act. I sort of like it more that way, since sometimes it does seem contrived (forgiven because its a performance) and its more than anything a display of our cumulative Nerd ID. This time Francis takes to the Diablo 3  outages with his typical panache. I’m actually typing this bullshit in the dead of night…because I can’t fucking login.

Michel Gondry is awesome. I haven’t seen The Green Hornet, but he’s still awesome. The dude plays with the form of film in ways equally energetic, youthful, and inventive, and I can get behind that. Here is the trailer for his next flick The We and The I, which will be dropping at Cannes. What exactly is the movie about? I’m not certain. I do know I want to see it.

The  Tarantula Nebula ain’t fucking around, no sir. No ma’am. In fact, it’s the most violent star forming region in the whole goddamn local group of galaxies. Thanks to the  Hubble Space Telescope, you can see allllll sorts of crazy shit going on in this picture.

Man that pun made so much sense because uh poison ivy is green and so is lettuce and wait they’re both vegetables except fuck no they’re not. Ah, whatever. Just look at the cosplay and leave me alone. The glory is  cosplayed by  drummerina. Photographed by Edoardo del Gaudio.

It’s approaching midnight and I sipping liberally from a recently-cracked open two-liter of Pepsi Max. This can only mean a few things. Diablo 3  has launched, my semester is over, and I may very well be dead by the time you read this. Slouched over all fucking South Korean internet cafe Starcraft  stylee. Should I continue sucking wind into the meatier part of this Wednesday, I shall be snagging some comic books. These are the ones I’m digging on. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to tolerate my stupidity and then augment my list with the titles you’re going to procure for an exorbitant sum. Especially if I don’t list your little binky title. I’m willing to riff on anything should you suggest it.

Don’t know what’s dropping? Hit up ComicList.

Aaron Sorkin. Love you, duder. The fact that you are writing a Steve Jobs biopic for Sony has me far more pumped than whatever that Aston Kutcher debacle will end up being.

This is a bit wonky. There’s peeps out there spitting that the vehicle list for Grand Theft Auto V  has been harvested from Max Payne 3. You seem a bit incredulous. Well, here. Have this. Did you know that previous Rockstar games have held GTA files?

Where the soul should be, there is a distinct gaping maw. Warner Bros. and DC are trying to fill this with all sorts of (Bef0re) Watchmen  drivel. It can only make sense that one of the many marketing  diarrhea-experiences would be a toaster. Wait. No. No this doesn’t make sense, even if we’re talking cross-marketing bullshit.
