“Hello my friend. Stay a while and listen…” – Deckard Cain
Everyone can use a feel good moment to start the day. Let’s go with this…
Thanks for taking some time out of your day to read this column. I truly appreciate it. If you happen to use Twitter, you can follow me @BoomjackTTH. I rarely use Facebook, but I do occasionally post gaming related tidbits on Google+ where you can find me under my real moniker John Hoskin.
The biggest frenzy to hit TenTonHammer.com since we gave away a trip to BlizzCon is underway. We have, wait for it, Diablo 3 beta keys for our loyal members and readers.
There are a couple of ways to grab a key. Click the graphic above or on this Diablo 3 Beta Key Giveaway link to get the details.
If you haven’t followed the development of Diablo 3, Stow just posted his Diablo 3 Beta Impressions.
I’m almost scared to tell anyone that I have had my Battle.net account unlocked for D3 for quite a while and haven’t even had time to download the bloody install.
I’m on the road (and above the clouds) for the rest of the week, but I’ll be back in about four days to see how your Diablo 3 luck ran.
In the meantime, we can’t run this show and I certainly can’t run this daily column without sponsors. Please do me a biggie and check out some of the titles being published by Aeria Games. Check them out and then let me know (preferably by email) what you thought of them. I have never been a Free-To-Play type of gamer, but I’m tempted to try a few of these, truly and not just because they are a sponsor.
As hackers have their way on the newest EverQuest servers, Benjamin J. de la Durantaye jumps in game to uncover what exactly is going on and how it is affecting the community.

Speaking with Industry Gamers, BioWare’s dynamic doctor duo expressed interest in the possibility of a Mass Effect MMO. When asked about the possibility of Mass Effect making its way to the MMO audience Zeschuk responded, "You never know."
Diablo III, Blizzard's third sequel in the beloved Diablo franchise, is set to launch in early 2012, and it's arguably the most anticipated action-RPG on the gaming horizon. That means gamers are lusting after beta access. Ten Ton Hammer has a few smokin' hot beta keys for some lucky premium members and one Facebook fan. And premium members can enter both contests!
If you're a premium member (you'll know by the distinct smell of awesome radiating from your person) you can enter the Diablo III Beta Giveaway drawing for your first chance to win. That page also describes how you can compete against the unwashed masses (aka - registered members) in our Facebook key grab to increase your odds. (This part is entirely optional, because your odds are already good.)

Hey guys, Just wanted to let you know that I was successful in getting the Mac OS X application of the our test Updater to download and update PlayerScore, so hopefully we will have a mac release sometime in the near future!
