\\nIn this episode, we have found our souls reaped\\xa0following the announcement of the first expansion, Diablo III: Reaper of Souls. After geeking out\\xa0we get down to business by discussing what we\'ve been up to in-game: Breja worked on his tan in Potterville, real life continues to get in the way for Lanntonio, Nevik played with some\\xa0Hearthstones, and Jen wrecked face with the improved monster density in Inferno (MP1)!
