The lore behind them is sometimes part of the problem. In D2 prior to patch 1.10, Azurewrath was a unique crystal sword. It wasn't particularly powerful, and it's stats weren't particularly impressive. In the lore, Azurewrath was made by Tyrael and they were attacking the hellforge to prevent the construction of…

To be fair, there would be a lot of other potential applications for implanting chips.

One thing they stressed as Alaric became a vampire was that since he was in his crazy murderous vampire-hating persona when he turned, that aspect of his personality would be amplified.

I would be perfectly okay with that as well. Some of the comments below suggested focusing more on Japanese games we never see over here, or exploring Japan's attitudes about Western games. Japan was a big part of defining the industry, there's certainly potential for interesting discussion there. I think a lot of…

Here's my take.

I do not personally find the music or sports blocks overly interesting, so when there are several posts crammed into one segment I do a lot of scrolling past.
