Diablo 3 is the latest gaming hit from Blizzard and has broken previous records to become the most pre-ordered game on Amazon.com of all time.  This great title includes a bunch of easter eggs as well as various pop-culture references and Blizzard Employee cameos hidden within the game.

Previous Diablo games have been known for the infamous "Cow Level" in which players could unlock a secret level with cow enemies in it.  Blizzard stated at launch there was no "Cow Level"  well there isn't as far as anyone has seen but there is a PONY level.  Yes if you gather up the various items required you can unlock a hidden level called Whimseyshire which is a magical cute land of happy clouds and rainbows in an obvious poke at My Little Pony populated by magical purple and pink unicorns and other cute creatures that are all hostile.  They may look cute but they can kill you depending on your level when you enter it and Whimseyshire is available on each difficulty level with increasing loot quality and mob strength.

So, you want to go to Whimseyshire?  Here is a concise list of items needed to make the Staff of Herding which will unlock the level when you go to Old Tristram Road and speak to the Ghost of the Cow King.  Unlocking the level and entering grants a Feat of Strength.  Once you have the staff you can upgrade it to unlock Nightmare, Hell, and Inferno difficulty levels.  There are rumors of a hidden boss if you unlock it on Inferno.

Leroic’s Shinbone Act: 1 – Found Inside of the fireplace in Leroic’s Manor (Click on the burnt logs) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eIbYgfoBSs
The Black Mushroom Act: 1 – Found in the cathedral, most commonly floor 1 (Click mushroom pile) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-RLeehzfYA
Liquid Rainbow Act: 2 – Inside of a mysterious cave in act 2 (Dahlgur Oasis) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2irGFmldec0
Wirt’s Bell Act: 2 – Bought for 100,000 gold from Squirts in the Act 2 Bazaar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FspdRzxIg_k
Gibbering Gemstone Act: 3 – Drops from Chiltara in the Caves of Frost(Found after Bridge of Korsikk) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxUh63yx4oU
Plans: Staff of Herding Act: 4 The recipe to craft the staff is a drop from Izual (Act 4 Boss) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geoODfSVs3U

And there you have it, good luck and happy pony slaying.  Apologies to MLP lovers for the equine carnage.

As far as other Easter Eggs go there is also a hidden level called Development Hell which obviously is on Hell difficulty and can be opened as an additional tomb in the Cemetery of the Forsaken.  If you unlock the 4th tomb you enter Development Hell in which you face off against all the developer staff of Diablo 3 turned into zombies etc.  Finally you must face and slay the game's producer which grants you a Feat of Strength.  The exact method of unlocking this hidden level is not clear and appears to be partially RNG or may be tied to having already earned other achievements.

We put the Game Producer down a few days ago and earned the achievement.

Finally there are the Blizzard cameo appearances.  A number of the senior GM's make a special appearance in the game as high level elite mobs.  Below is me taking down Zarhym who is one of the GM's that regularly interacts with players on the forums.

However the real prize is Bashiok and this famous Blizzard GM even has his own special achievement for defeating him which requires you to obtain a special item from and event and use it to fight him should you encounter this rare mob.  I am presently hunting Bashiok though he has yet to show himself on any difficulty level Normal, Nightmare, or Hell but from what I've heard he can appear in any difficulty his spawn chance though is very low.

Hopefully this helps you in your own quest for more hidden content in Diablo 3, good luck and happy hunting.

I posted this in the "Whats the purpose of the fursuit?" thread on /r/furry. I put that sometimes people like to fuck in their fursuits. I was amazed at the amount of downvotes that my comment got.

So I ask you /r/furry why is having a fursuit on whilst having sex so controversial in a place like this?

braces for downvotes

Dear Papabear,

My boyfriend and I get along very well, despite me being a furry and him not so. I want him to relate more to the furry fandom so we can feel closer (since we're a long distance relationship), but he doesn't want anything to do with furry social networks or art sites. I wanted him to join me on a good number of them, but he just wouldn't. Same goes for IMVU. I just can't get him to do anything like that with me. I don't know what to do about it without sounding like a baby.

-Michelle

Dear Michelle,

First of all, consider yourself lucky that you have a nonfurry boyfriend who is okay with your being a furry. Not everyone is so understanding. He sounds like he has an open mind, which is a good quality to have.

You also knew going into this relationship that he was not a furry. So, you really should not be surprised that he is not interested in your furry activities. I understand that you want to share things with him to bring the two of you closer together, of course.

While you shouldn’t force your boyfriend to do things he doesn’t want to do, all relationships should take a little effort on both party’s sides. Good relationships combine a bit of sharing and compromise. Does your boyfriend have any interests that you don’t share? For instance, perhaps he is interested in sports—have you ever gone to a game with him? Or talked about teams or websites he enjoys?

Papabear is in a similar situation to yours (although it’s not long distance). My mate is not a furry, but he indulges me completely in my activities in the fandom and has come with me to several cons. However, he really isn’t active in the social network sites dedicated to furries.... Why? Because he’s not a furry and isn’t interested in that stuff, so I don’t make him do it.

Because you are in a long-distance relationship, I can see why you are trying to get him to participate in social sites online.  It would be better if you could do something together in the real world, like go to a furcon or furmeet, but let’s say that’s not an option. How about this for a compromise? You could meet on SecondLife—you in your furry form, and he as a human.  You could visit some of the furry areas of 2L and also some of the nonfurry areas that interest him.

So, in summary, the key here is compromise. Give and take. You should make an effort to share some of the things your boyfriend enjoys and he should do the same for you. But be careful. Don’t try to “remake” or “change” your boyfriend to your tastes. If you don’t like your boyfriend the way he is, then you should look for someone who does fit your idea of a model boyfriend. It is a mistake that many people make: “Oh, this guy (girl) is pretty nice, but has a few flaws I will work on to change.” Trying to change people is manipulative and unfair to your partner. Be happy that he loves YOU as you are and accepts your furry side. And learn to give as much as you ask for in return.

Good luck!

Papabear 

Dear Papabear,

I recently read the "Nightshade" trilogy, and when the book ended, I didn't know how to handle myself. When I got home from school, I couldn't help but to cry. I felt like I was part of the pack, I felt like that was my family. A person died I didn't want to die.

What do I do? How do I get over this? 

--Wolf Willful

Dear Wolf Willful,

That is a high compliment to the author that the characters touched you so much.  How do you get over it?  You realize that the story is fiction, that these people are not real, and they are not really dead (or alive).  If you want them to live again, just start reading from the beginning of the first book.

I don't wish to negate your very real emotions, hon, but please get a hold of yourself. It can be very cathartic to experience the feelings an author puts on a page, but, in the end, you close the book's covers and return to reality.

Hugs,
Papabear

The husky is in fact IN!

Today I would like to discuss the roommate factor. Do you have one or more roommates living with you now or in the past? Were these roommates furry? There can be all different types of people to live with and not all perfect to be in close quarters of in a small apt. or house.

My issue myself currently is I live with 3 other furries in a small apt. (but good sized) across from NYC. I work 5 days a week at different times, the one main roommate works Mon.-Fri. until about 6pm and the other two do not work, they just sit around all day and play games. I’m not into starting drama or being mean so I could care less anyone’s life style UNTIL is clashes into my world. They are filthy and never clean up until it becomes to late to do so. The kitchen was scrubbed clean by me 3 days ago and today bam! it looks like we had a party of chiefs who all made food and left it. They don’t pick up and they don’t clean up in the bathroom after themselves. I am in NO WAY a perfectionist at cleaning, I myself keep things clean well enough to move around and have company over without being embarrassed. So when I say WOW they need to clean this shit up I really mean it, at least before we get mice and bugs again.

That’s my story and you know how I deal with it? I sit back and breathe and tell them time and time again, “please clean up you’re not the only one living here”.  Of course in my case if all goes to plan I will be moving out by July 1st so my situation solves itself but still to note I never loose my cool and keep the drama to a low.

Tell me your stories of roommate and let those inner feelings come out!

Look, we just can’t make up some of this stuff, folks.  Here, this is from Image Comics: “Still kicking yourself for not ordering and/or passing by Chew #1, now that you see what it’s going for on eBay? Here’s your chance to get sweet, sweet, revenge, with an all-new Chew #1, a one-shot spinning off Chew‘s most popular supporting character, and comics’ most beloved homicidal cybernetic kung-fu rooster. Concentrated mayhem. Feathers, rage and hate! Plus: an all-star pin-up gallery from some of the most staggeringly talented artists in the industry!” The main artist for the Chew: Secret Agent Poyo full-color one-shot is Rob Guillory, and the writing is by John Layman. And the chicken is coming our way July 11th. BleedingCool.com has a background article, including interviews with the creators, if you want to try and figure this thing out.
