Did you know that QBASIC Gorillas was created by IBM, and not Microsoft?

I remember when this first came out and playing it in college.  This definitely makes me feel old.

I’ll be very interested in finding out what they do.  I both love and hate skill trees.  I understand the purpose of trying to get me down a certain path, but it can also be very limiting.  There may be strategies that I can dream up that the developers never did that would be possible without the skill tree.

According to Blizzard’s official Twitter, the revision of Diablo III’s skill system is in full swing, with an announcement that skill trees are completely gone from the latest iteration.

“Diablo: The skill system revision is in full force. Trees begone! I think it might be a winner. Jay says hi.”
