Diablo III Release Date Announced

Today, all airplanes in the world have been grounded to avoid a preeminent threat, that has the potential to kill millions. Flying pigs.

Abort! Abort! For the love of god, abort!

While many have been bracing themselves, and contemplating how to return to their home countries without taking to the skies or being air-strifed by the swine menace, PC Gamers have been announcing that they will need a holiday starting May 15th.

Employers have been too busy calling double glazing specialists to protect some of the higher buildings in the swine infested areas to try and figure out just what is so special about this date, but the gamers among us can take a fare guess. For May 15th is the day Diablo III will be released, according to publishers Blizzard.

Don't believe me? Check here and remember that I now hate you.

The game will first come out in the United States, Canada, Europe, South Korea, Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau, with digital copies being released in Mexico, Argentina, Chile and Brazil, with any South American countries that haven't already been mentioned having to wait until the June 7th.

The game will be available on Windows XP, Vista, 7 and Mac, and presumably a more deluxe version will be available for those hardcore fans.

So, if you're a fan of the first two Diablo's, get your pre-orders in now, and stay out of the air. You don't want any pigs coming between you and your game.
