If you ask me, it was a brilliant idea on Blizzard's part. Think about it, even if the game costs $60 retail, we Annual Passers still must pay monthly for a full year of WoW whether we play or not. I don't mind, I don't plan on quitting WoW anytime soon, even if I do go on the occasional hiatus.
Now, downloading the digital client was a breeze, and I installed the game with ease. However, you can imagine my nerd-rage when I started up Diablo 3 and the game was barely playable. I blame my sucky integrated graphics card that was on the list of FAIL incompatibles. I tried the "hotfix" and turned down the graphics till it looked like I was playing with pixelated blocks. The result: it was like teleporting through invisible molasses mixed with glue.

And in case you were wondering whether Lastknight's gaming has gone downhill due to his "sacrifice", we went to the computer store and got a new graphics card for him. Yes, I'm stuck with his old one, but it's still better than what I had running. Isn't it sad that this new graphics card will be obsolete and out of style faster than my new sandals for summer? And they say fashion is fickle!
