			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are a fan of the <em>Diablo</em> franchise from Blizzard, you have probably been waiting for the new game in the franchise to land called <em>Diablo III.</em> Some details on the game surfaced today and hardcore gamers can trust me when I say you won&#8217;t be happy.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-62711" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/diablo-sg.jpg" alt="diablo sg" width="600" height="216" title="diablo sg photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-62710"></span>The game will require a constant internet connection and there is <a href="http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/08/01/diablo-3-cannot-be-played-offline/">no offline mode</a>. You can only play online as you can in <em>World of Warcraft.</em> There will be no single player missions to learn on as there were in the past <em>Diablo</em> titles. The bigger bad news is that Blizzard has specifically <a href="http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/08/01/diablo-3-mods-expressly-prohibited-by-blizzard/">disallowed game mods and bots</a>. That means no hacks for new game play sadly.</p>
<p>The final bit of bad news is that all of the items in the online auction houses will be sold for <a href="http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/08/01/diablo-3-will-let-players-buy-and-sell-items-for-real-money/">real world money</a>. That means rather than farming for gold and making loot killing things, you will have to get out your wallet. There are locks in place though that prevents low-level characters from just buying the best weapons. Some items are locked to specific level characters.</p>

<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/steering_rapper.jpg" alt="steering rapper"  title="steering rapper photo" /></p>
<p>The ridiculous <a href="http://www.worldlingo.com/S1790.5/translation?wl_srclang=ja&amp;wl_trglang=en&amp;wl_url=http://www.e-revolution.co.jp/car/ent/rapper.html">Steering Rapper</a> lets you tap out obnoxious beats and sound effects while you drive your vehicle. If the distraction of that isn&#8217;t enough, the whole thing is attached to your steering wheel with velcro straps to get in your way while driving.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re really into being a road hazard, you can pick up the Steering Rapper from <a href="http://www.7dream.com/product/p/0796797">7dream</a> for ¥3,129 (appx. $26 USD.)</p>
