Diablo 3 Officially Announced! (Screens & Video)
By Jeffrey | June 28, 2008
Two decades have passed since the demonic denizens, Diablo, Mephisto, and Baal, wandered the world of Sanctuary in a vicious rampage to shackle humanity into unholy slavery. Yet for those who battled the Prime Evils directly, the memory fades slowly and the wounds of the soul still burn.
When Deckard Cain returns to the ruins of Tristram’s Cathedral seeking clues to new stirrings of evil, a comet from the heavens strikes the very ground where Diablo once entered the world. The comet carries a dark omen in its fiery being and it calls the heroes of Sanctuary to defend the mortal world against the rising powers of the Burning Hells–and even the failing luminaries of the High Heavens itself.
- Explore a fully-realized Sanctuary–the living, breathing gothic fantasy world of Diablo III rendered in gorgeous 3D.
- Battle the unholy forces of the Burning Hells with all-new character classes like the otherworldly Witch Doctor, or with re-imagined warriors from Diablo’s past: such as the fierce Barbarian.
- Rain Hell on your enemies wielding the interactive environment as a weapon: lay cunning traps, turn destructible objects against your foes, and use environmental obstacles to your advantage–all powered by the Havoc physics system.
- Experience the intensity of multiplayer Diablo III over an all-new, wickedly-enhanced Battle.net platform with numerous enhancements to make connecting with your friends easier–and cooperative gameplay more fun.

HTPC Guide: Part 4, Set Up Your TV Tuning
By Jeffrey | June 16, 2008
After a very long absence, this guide can now continue!
Now that you have MediaPortal up and running - and are probably have become an expert on it - let’s go through how to get one its main features up and running: TV tuning and recording.
One of the advantages of MediaPortal is that it can be quickly set up to tune channels in all the ways one may want to, including OTA (Over The Air) signals, Cable, and Cable/Satellite through their STB (Set Top Box).
Setting up TV channels through an external set top box can be quite complicated to get working, but I’ll walk you through both options.

HTPC Guide: Part 3, MediaPortal Setup
By Jeffrey | May 23, 2008
Ok, so you’ve decided on whether you’ll be using XP or Vista in your setup, so let’s move on to the real important software you’ll need to watch your movies, listen to your music, and watch and record television.
There are many options to choose from when picking your PVR program, but the one I personally feel is best is MediaPortal. It’s free, open-source (meaning easily modified), supports TV tuning, and plays everything you can throw at it.
