Sorry for the newbie question. I know little about computers, but I can't seem to find an info on G5s running diablo 3. I've got a DC DP 2.5 G5. The diablo requirements say intel core duo 2, so does that mean my computer in not compatible?
Any info would be great.

Yes, the system requirements for Diablo 3 exclude all PowerPC-based computers. You'll notice it also requires OS X 10.6.8 or later, which also doesn't run on PPC. Sorry.

Time to upgrade!

...Although I'm not sure if Diablo 3 is worth that. :P
"They're everywhere!"

And now, time for some Legend of Zelda.

When there's a multiplayer version, I'm going to be on Frost's team. Well, except he doesn't seem to actually need a team...I mean, what's the point? "Hey look, it's Frost and His Merry Gang of Useless Hangers-On!" Or something.

I trashed it after I realized I wasn't having fun after the first playthrough... the game should have taken me ten times longer to beat. I'm married with kids and I couldn't believe the RAGE-effect this left me with... now I have to pay attention to my family! Arrrgh! :crazy:
