...Internet-based slasher romp, has been described by at least one game-industry magazine as the "most anticipated in history." Diablo, their first game, was among the best selling ever, moving a couple million CD-ROMs, making the game's co-creators, brothers Erich Schaefer, 34, and Max Schaefer, 32, multimillionaires. But what is striking about walking into the Blizzard North building in Menlo Park, Calif., is not the casualness of the offices, the cubicles strewn with toys or the 8-ft. red-and-black Diablo mannequin next to the receptionist--that's standard work-is-play, tech-firm vibe...

And the life they are living--from the games they are designing to the millions they are earning to the expensive homes in which they are living--could also have been mine.

His charisma, his style and his temperament were more significant motivations for a student to enroll in a lecture class than the material itself...
Emmy and her little brother Max (and with names like those, you can bet their folks are PBS donors) find a magic dragon scale and are whisked off to Dragon Land, where they encounter a gaggle of warm, goofy reptilian friends to whom they are just as strange as the monsters are to them. Besides fantasy and rich, hand-painted scenery, this animated series offers an encouraging message--don't be afraid of new situations--to a young audience exploring its own realm of freakish curiosities...
