In a somewhat surprising announcement, the upcoming Obsidian Entertainment action RPG Avowed is being released on the Battle.net launcher and is now available for pre-order ahead of its February 18th release date!

coming in i just wanted to finish, but instead i decided to try and keep pace with bill for the first 17 or so miles. just barely skated by sub4
Ran the OC Marathon today. Was hoping to finish in under 4 hours, managed to get it done. Was a lot of fun running with @ctide for most of the race, and a fun weekend overall with many pals.
after driving 3000km around new zealand, we are flying back to auckland for exilecon! saw lots of waterfalls, sheep, and cows and hit up 5 different snowboarding resorts. ready for some nerdshit after touching lots of grass – at Queenstown-Lakes District, New Zealand
apparently this needs to be tweeted with @Diablo in it to count for the lilith statue contest. hit 100 in #Diablo4Hardcore last week, battle.net id: ctide#1676. screenshot of char w/ tempered champion title
boom! level 100 in #Diablo4Hardcore. game's pretty fun, can't wait to see what they do with seasons.

this is why i don’t recommend anyone on linkedin – at Oakland, CA
Why I decided in the late 90’s not to make deals in tourneys:
It really came down to not wanting to hurt people’s feelings by only chopping with people who’s game I respected.
If I chop with Bob because he is good, and then next week my friend Jim asks to chop but he isn’t very good and I say no, he may say “But you chopped with Bob last week. Why wouldn’t you chop with me?”
If I chop with Jim I’m taking the worst of it. I’m a favorite to beat Jim. If I tell the truth, Jim might think I’m an asshole.
So to avoid taking the worst of it and also keeping things on the tour friendly with my competitors, I made it a policy to never chop.
This way, no one should feel slighted and I avoid uncomfortable conversations with people I may really like, but also don’t think play very well.
