Since Diablo III isn’t going to be hitting until at least the end of 2010 (why did they even announce it?), it’s probably a good idea to get a little something now so you don’t die of a hack ‘n slash deficiency. Your best bet? Torchlight . I’ve already beaten it once and am about to take another trip through as a different class — I’d recommend it at its original price, but it’s half off this weekend, putting it at ten bucks. That’s a bargain, people. It’s a randomly-generated, monster-smashing lootfest and I enjoyed every second of it. I’m partial to this kind of thing (I even enjoyed the comparatively interminable Titan Quest ) but Torchlight is great fun that, as a bonus, can be played on pretty much any computer due to basic (but still cool-looking) graphics. It’s straightforward enough that non-hardcore gamers who need presents will enjoy it, too. Get you a dungeon romp!

Did you know: CIA agents wear Rolex watches so they can “trade” their way out of sticky situations! That’s why an unnamed CIA agent bought this watch in Europe back in 1977 and now it can be yours. When you buy the watch you get the CIA agent’s name and maybe, just maybe, some of that CIA cool will rub off on you. Or maybe you’ll be mistaken for an agent and taken in for questioning. You can get your own 1977 Rolex from WatchesToBuy for… wait for it… $2,560. That’s not too bad for an older Rolex Oyster with date, but it’s not great either. Oh well, it’s got a story. via Hodinkee
