Diablo III’s latest patch is now live, and among other things, it introduced four new difficulty levels to the game.

So apparently the 1984 classic The Karate Kid is not about Daniel LaRusso, the new kid in the neighborhood, becoming the target of “Cobra Kai” member Johnny Lawrence. Nope. It’s the other way around!
