When Blizzard announced the Overwatch League in 2016, there were plenty of questions about how the esports league would actually work – but at the very least, you couldn’t fault the ambition.
Blizzard is giving away a Diablo-themed PC that’s liquid cooled with real human blood
23.10.2023 - 15:11 / videogameschronicle.com
Blizzard has announced a rather unusual competition in which players can win a PC infused with real human blood.
The Diablo 4 promotion, which Blizzard is calling Blood Harvest, encourages US citizens to donate blood at a clinic of their choice.
They then have to submit proof of their donation, which will then be added to a running total.
Once 666 quarts (1332 pints) of blood have been donated in total, the sweepstake will open.
At that point, any US player (whether they’ve donated blood or not) will be able to enter the competition via Instagram and Twitter (details on how to enter will follow when the target is reached).
The grand prize will be “a custom liquid cooled PC infused with real human blood”, according to Blizzard.
The PC will include an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, an Intel Core i9-13900K, 64 GB of DDR5 RAM and 3 TB Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD storage, and will come in a custom Diablo red/black colour palette with Season of Blood graphics.
Although the PC can only be won by US residents, the campaign will also unlock in-game items, which will seemingly be available to all players worldwide.

Once tier one (33%, or 439.56 pints of blood) has been reached, players will get a Bloodpetal Anlace dagger, a Bloodpetal Sever axe, a Bloodpetal Blade sword, a Bloodpetal Bludgeon druid staff and a Bloodpetal Heart necromancer offhand weapon.
When tier two (66%, or 879.12 pints of blood) has been reached, players will also get the Loch Raeth Maor armour for the Barbarian class.
Finally, if tier three (100% or 1332 pints of blood) is reached, as well as the sweepstake unlocking players will also get a Vermillion Eye Piebald mount.
At the time of writing, the campaign has already reached 27% progress, meaning around 360 pints of blood have already been donated in the name of Diablo.

The Steam Deck's new clear plastic limited edition is giving me overpowering OLED envy, but I can't keep blowing money on these things
Like many in my millennial age cohort, I've got a sickening nostalgic obsession with clear plastic electronics: Game Boys, OG MacBooks, Discmen. It's god's own design language, I tell you, not just rosy memories of the late '90s and early aughts! No doubt taking note of the many aftermarket solutions for giving the Steam Deck a clear plastic makeover, Valve's gone ahead and made its own, official version.
