Blizzard Bans 350,000 Dirty, Cheating Battle.netters
Microsoft isn't the only one swinging the account crushing banhammer just before the holiday rush. Blizzard has suspended an impressive 350,000 Battle.net accounts identified as using "third-party hacks" in both StarCraft and Diablo II. According to folks at Blizzard, this is on top of an additional 7,700 Warcraft III accounts getting the same treatment. We won't miss you, you cheating sons of bitches — no postcards necessary. The full warning statement and explanation for banning follows.

WoW Tyrael Pet In The Polygonial Flesh
Like me, many of you folks drooled over the mere idea of the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational exclusive Archangel Tyrael pet for World of Warcraft. Now we get to see the little guy who'll have players /telling the lucky recipients with "Were'd u get tht?" from now until the end of time. Blizzard just updated the WoW build on the public test realms, and the nice folks at MMO Champion rooted around in there until they came up with these images of the in-game model for the Diablo II (and presumably III) star.
I want one. Strike that, I need one. My soul cries out for it, but not so badly that I am willing to spend more than of $600 to snag one off of eBay. I'll just use the old model-swapping technique. Sure, no one else will see him and he'll make panda noises, but the screenshots will be fantastic.

Blizzard WWI WoW Pet Revealed
Well that cinches it...I am going to have to call out a hit on Leslie Smith, for in her Blizzard Worldwide Invitational swag package she received a key redeemable for a new World of Warcraft pet. While not something I am normally too worried about, Blizzard poster Barnakk in the WoW forums just revealed what exactly the mystery pet is.
The pet itself will be a miniature version of the Archangel Tyrael of Diablo 2 fame who will travel with you on all your grand adventures in Azeroth! Pictures of this amazing new pet will be available on the official website soon for everybody to check out.
That's right, Archangel Tyrael from Diablo II, who now graces the main page of the Diablo III website. I need him, if only to counteract the evil forces of my Collector's Edition mini-Diablo. Sorry Leslie, nothing personal!

What Are You Playing This Weekend?
What little gaming time I have during the week is often in bite sized chunks. A quest in Diablo II here. Some Jet Grind Radio there. The new games I've purchased over the past weeks mostly sit idly or are enjoyed by my house's other residents. For instance, I've had a wonderful time watching Tomb Raider: Anniversary being played, offering backseat gamer suggestions and strategies, longing to get off the laptop and get my hands on a controller. This weekend, however, I'll be plowing through some new and old titles. More » -

What Are You Playing This Weekend?
With E3 just a few weeks away, I've got plenty of planning to do to prepare. This work is seriously cutting into my game time, as I think I've only played mere minutes worth of Diablo II and Shadow of the Colossus this week. Much of my weekend will also be dedicated to this pre-E3 work, but I'm going to take a few minutes to finally crack open this review copy of Persona 3 for the PlayStation 2. More » -

What Are You Playing This Weekend?
With a fiesta throwing down at Casa de McWhertor tonight, I wouldn't be surprised if it ultimately wound down with a late night series of Guitar Hero II battles. Be warned party-goers, I'm bringing my A-game to my performance of Lamb of God's "Laid to Rest." More » -

What Are You Playing This Weekend?
Ah, the weekend. On Wednesdays it can't come soon enough. But today, there's an internal struggle as I look forward to it, yet cannot wait for it to pass. See, on Tuesday, Crecente and I are heading to the Playboy Mansion for an important event of some sort. I keep forgetting what that event is, but it's at the Playboy Mansion. The rest of the week is filled with a BioShock preview, many musical outings, and a soiree at Casa de McWhertor. So much to do! More » -

What Are You Playing This Weekend?
After spending the entirety of my week playtesting new and upcoming Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows games at CES, I'm just about due for a break. But screw that. I'll be spending a good portion of my weekend playing some Diablo II (forgot to bring that much needed "play disc" with me to Vegas) and maybe a few games of Rumble Roses just for shits and jiggles. I'll also spend tonight detoxing, as I'm off the sauce in an attempt to recover from nearly a week long streak of expensive drinking. More » -

What Are You Playing This Weekend?
With the Consumer Electronics Show going down next week in Las Vegas, I'm just about to make my trip east to score a little Kotaku coverage. That means I won't be playing much in the way of games this weekend. Outside of pulling a few slot machine arms and a handful of games of blackjack at the cheap tables, I'll probably play nothing but a few quick rounds of Bit Generations games on my Game Boy micro.
