Poll: Do you think games like Diablo 3 should be constantly tethered to a service?

Diablo 3 was just launched today and to play, you’ll need a constant and steady internet connection to battle.net. I don’t mind having to have a system check in once in a while like how Steam does it, but the constant tethering to Blizzard’s servers for the single player mode is a bit much for me, especially with the shoddy internet connection in Canada. So what do you think of the need for games like Diablo 3 that need constant connection, even if you’re only playing the single player mode?

Diablo 3 Servers go live at midnight!

Diablo servers go live at 12AM Pacific DST. So is anyone going to pick it up and play it in the first week or so? I know I’ll be playing the hell outta it (no pun intended) as soon as the servers go live!

PlayStation 3D Display Bundle $249.99

EB games (GameStop) is selling the PS 3DTV plus an extra pair of glasses and two games (Motorstorm and MLB – meh) for $249.99. Although I really don’t care too much for those games, this is still a pretty decent buy. The TV itself is 1080p with a 240Hz refresh and at 24 inches, it makes for a pretty decent computer monitor (or second monitor). Pretty sweet deal if you are looking for 3D or a new display.

Teen Titans Theme Beast Boy Karaoke

The Teen Titans theme song, sung in the spirit of the Japanese version. It’s pretty wacky but fun to sing along to.
