Thinking of taking a break this weekend from farming gear in Diablo III? If so, Blizzard would like to remind you that today is the birthday of your favorite action role-playing game. Even though you forgot all about El Diablo’s birthday and you didn’t even get him a funny card, he still loves you. To show it, starting today and finishing on May 22, special in-game bonuses will be active for all players in Diablo III.

First off, rift fragments will be doubled. This will be handy since rift runs are how most people farm for the legendary item drops post game. On top of the double fragments, a boost of 100% to your chance of finding those treasured legendary drops you spend countless hours a day grinding to obtain. I guess the break you might have wanted to take will be postponed for a little, huh?

Geekscape just turned 6 years old. For those of you who like your numbers a little bit bigger, that’s 2191 days, 52594 hours, 3.15…. you get the picture. We’re old! Over half a decade old!

Tonight’s the night to celebrate. We wouldn’t be here without you readers, so every single one of you is invited. Here’s the address (it’s also the Ranker office if you’re familiar with the area):

Suite 880, 6420 Wilshire Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA
90028

Of course, that’s in Los Angeles and we have readers all over the place. We’d love to physically fly you all out to celebrate with us, but it’s a little late for that. You’re not totally out of luck though! We’ve set up a live stream of the event, so you can watch and laugh and generally wish you were there. We’ll be recording a live podcast, and will also have plenty of news about Geekscape’s bright and shining future. You can watch the very special live feed, well, right at the bottom of this page!

Thanks readers, and from a long time fan, thanks Jonathan, writers, and Geekscape! Let’s make it a night to remember! Don’t forget to wish Jonathan a happy birthday while you’re there!
