In unrelated news, several unpaid blizzard interns go missing

This is very cool apart from the body fluids in your prize thing, because that's fucking stupid.
Depending on whose blood it is, it could be pretty cool. Some rando’s blood? Gross. Gamer girl blood? Excellent heat conductor.
Never mind that 'infusing' can mean basically anything - I still think it reflects an off-putting attitude towards our bodies. The concept itself seems immature and gross. If it makes people donate blood, it's hard to actually oppose it though.
Dollars to donuts, they're going to put a drop of pasteurized pig blood in the paint and then dye the coolant red.
It def seems like a bit of a biohazard, but what's off-putting about it otherwise? If the blood is sterilized well and there is not much of it its more of a cool talking point then anything
Not gonna lie, that sounds slightly illegal (likely isn't?) and also slightly disgusting. Like, I'd probably dig the esthetic, but I don't want random peoples blood in my PC.
I seem to remember something similar a little while ago except it was like a pair of shoes or something.
Edit: It was Lil Nas X and his Satan Nikes.

Blizz, you throw in one of those breastmilk-dispensers you got strewn around the office and you got yourself a deal mister.
Can’t wait to have the blood go rancid and spill everywhere
The blood drive is good, blood in the coolant not so much. Keeping a coolant line clean is very important, and taking it apart to clean it is a bit of a pain in the ass. Just use red dye instead.
The wording is odd. I don't see "the coolant is infused with blood" in the article. Could just be in glass cosmetically.
Its heartwarming to see that those idiots from acclaim's marketing team got a job again.
What's with all the puritanism here? I don't even like Diablo but that's metal as fuck
Don't get me wrong, I love when people do good, but giving few thousand bucks (and spending much more on marketing) so you can convincen others to do good and hide your fuck ups is not really "doing good".
New fear unlocked: Somehow getting a blood transferable disease from working on my pc
More likely than not, any BBP would die before transferring to you through an open wound months later. HIV can only survive outside the body for minutes. Not sure how long Hep C lasts, but I can't imagine it would be longer than a few days at most.
"Your battery is low, please plugin AC adapter, or refill with type AB+ blood"
...where did this blood come from, though!?
It's liquid cooled with a big reservoir that uses all 666 pints
Probably just the people building the computer. Knicking your finger or scraping a knuckle while building a server is frequently called giving it a blood sacrifice, so anything custom is invariably going to have trace amounts of incidental human blood on some components.
I think that's actually some cool promotion. I'd love to have it. Well, US only. That's sad.
But I want a computer with its processor tied to the power supply with strands of John Romero's hair.
Blizzard would really do anything to drive attention to their shitty games.
