Armor, Vitality, and Diminishing Returns make for a superb discussion thread over on the Battle.Net forums by TBD.

Episode 5 of the Devil in the Details Podcast is live. Wherein we celebrate a release 10 years in the making by discussing our experiences, weigh in on the differences between Hardcore and Softcore, and I mock all the little treasure imps.

Greetings everyone!

A gathering of fellow Lurkers (Frag, RTM, Monty, Treesh) and I got together to celebrate the beta weekend and put together the first of, what may become many video game related podcasts.
