    I was reading a local newspaper. it is called MX and it was in 29/09/2008. And I read an article about some person talking about Blizzard and 3 of it's games. So I thought I'd scan the article for everyone here. I know the info in it is pretty poorly said and plain wrong at times. But better than nothing I guess. And because my scanner decided to die as I was scanning the article, I'll provide a transcript below.

    Like many Aussie kids I grew up on a healthy diet of fresh vegetables, local sport and online Blizzard games. Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo really taught me the finer points of demon slaying, gold faming and interstellar army management. Now it looks like stealing our childhood was not enough for Blizzard. This summer they aim to steal our future too, as they release updates for three monster titles.

    A decade in the making, Starcraft 2 could be one of the biggest titles to be released. With developers sticking true to the original Starcraft game play, this has the potential to cause a economic recession in South Korea. My favourite release Diablo 3, could be a tad cooler. Leaving Diablo 2 at it's peak with a level 92 Barbarian, I'm ready to hit the frozen pizzas and work on my un-sun-tan to once again gain dominance over evil. The final release is the mind fearing World Of Warcraft update, Wrath Of The Lich King. Now with "uber epic ultra" quests and a "million hours game play". You can bet your WOW friends aren't going to be social butterflies this summer.

    I look forward to ripping it up with you all soon. See you on battlenet!
