Anyone excited about Diablo 3?

Any of you in the beta..?

I can’t tell you how eager I am to re-enter Sanctuary and start massacring legions of bad guys. No beta key for me though… just yet, that is. At any rate… I’m still keeping my fingers crossed. 🙂

I mention this not only due to the huge buzz surrounding Diablo 3 right now, but also because I’ve been hard at work on another project — AncientAvenger.com.

The site is a few years old, but more or less has been a very ‘casual project’ of mine. Well, now that D3 fever has struck me, I’m spending a little more time over there. As of right now, the site is primarily a general interest site for Diablo, but once they let me into Tristram, I’m probably going to steer it towards Barbarian class discussion.

So, if you’re a fan of the Diablo universe, then be sure to pop on over. 🙂 Also, I’d really love it if you added me on facebook and twitter. I’m just now emerging from the shadows, so I don’t have a lot of visitors at the moment, which means any comments will be much appreciated as well.

Now back to the World of Warcraft, hunters and most specifically… HuntsmansLodge.com.

Apart from my flurry of rare pet taming that went on a few weeks ago, I haven’t had a lot to say, and for that I apologize. However, I do have a ton of stuff that I want to get to… problem is, most of these things are massive undertakings which will require a large chunk of my time. I have a slew of guides that need updating, along with a bunch of refinements I plan to make to the site. As soon as I start thinking about starting any of these projects, I either end up getting pulled away to another task (usually for a client), or I quickly become overwhelmed with all that needs to be done.

Also, focus has been a bit of a problem for me lately, but I’m getting better about writing things down on my dry-erase board. 😉

As soon as my busy schedule starts to let up, I will be getting my hands dirty over here. In the meantime, perhaps you could let me know what areas you’d like me to focus on. My play time has dwindled quite a bit over the past several months due to the squeeze the RL has put on it, resulting in a lot less topic for discussion. Not saying that’s a bad thing though… being busy is good. I make more money that way, plus less time at the computer always makes the wife a bit happier. 😉 Also, given that my raid participation is zero these days, that also limits my subject matter. Of course, there’s always PvP discussion, which is probably more or less where I’ll continue to head with this site.

Oh… and pets…

…and user interface customization.

Anyway… things at or near the top of my to-do list are:

• Upload an updated version of my UI (yes, I’m still tinkering…).
• Discuss the why and how of the addons in my UI.
• Update a few stale guides – starting with Power Auras.
• Talk about PvP.
• Whatever else strikes my fancy…

Suggestions? Comments?

Oh… almost forgot to mention…

More contests! You guys up for some of those? It’s been awhile since I’ve put on a contest and I really have been meaning to feature more fun stuff like that.

I have a stack of loot cards on my desk that need to be redeemed, but I don’t plan on using them.

If you guys have any cool contest ideas, please leave them in the comments below.
