First blog post on a brand new site.  Wow!  Giant Bomb is looking like it will be my home to chat about video games for a good long while!

I've mainly only been playing Blizzard products these past couple of weeks.  Starcraft, Diablo II and World of Warcraft are all on my PC and I've been giving them all a piece of my time.  I started playing Starcraft for the first time last week.  Yup, just a little late getting my hands onto that game.  I was able to pick up Starcraft and the Brood Wars expansion for all of $15 on the Blizzard website and I think I've gotten my moneys worth out of it already.  I jumped right into multiplayer with a couple of my friends and have learned quite a bit about the game in a few short days.  I have been playing as the Terrans and am still trying to find a good strategy.  I've mainly been relying on air units, lots of battlecruisers for offence and siege / marines for defense.  It has been working fairly well, but I still have problems with this strategy.  Mainly I am not able to build cruisers fast enough once they are destroyed.  I read a strategy that said to have somewhere around 12 starports, but the map that we're using probably wouldn't be able to fit more than 6 or 8 in my area.  I'll probably try out some different strategies once I start playing the campaign.

I've been playing Diablo II for a couple of weeks and am at level 21 with my Paladin on Battle.Net.  One of my friends has also been playing and is at level 21 with his Necromancer.  We've just started Act III and the game has been pretty fun.  The boss encounters have been memorable and I'm looking forward to seeing how the story in the game progresses. 

World of Warcraft has been an addiction of mine for awhile, but it isn't as bad as it once was!  Honest!  After leveling up a Rogue and a Mage a long while ago, I'm now working on a Priest.  I had played a priest before on and off, but this is the first time that I've wanted to level one up for end game play.  I started my character on the Horde side of Exodar around a month ago and am now at level 39.  I'm not really rushing to level up this character, but I do look forward to be using a healing class in high level instances.  I probably won't be able to hit 70 for another couple of months at this rate though.

I'll probably be more hours into my Xbox 360 once a few more new games come out for it.  I'm looking forward to Too Human coming out next month for the 360, as well as NHL 09, Gears of War 2, Fable 2 and Fallout 3 coming out later in the year; but until then, Blizzard games are all I play.
