Wizard will be my main. When I get that spectral blade combined with teleport, it's gonna be a goooooood time.

That's part of the reason I never attended such an event, even when I had more energy/less responsibility. I don't want to be anywhere near that crowd.

I'm really interested in more innovative approaches to "social" gaming that aren't necessarily multiplayer. The message system in From Software's Souls series is the sort of thing that I'm talking about. These systems seem to be one way that Japanese developers are taking their own unique approach to connectivity in…

Working 3 jobs just to be broke. None of them have anything to do with anything I'd actually like to be doing (all my dreams are dead, etc.). Wife complains about everything.

I'm very curious to see what would happen if the Emperor truly "died." Warp travel would cease to exist for the Imperium. And I'd love to see how the rhetoric of his worship would evolve after such an event.

Is anybody attending a midnight launch event for Diablo tonight? I'd like to, but I'm a tired old man . . . and even if I could stay up to get the game (which is doubtful) . . . I would go to bed as soon as I get home anyway, and wouldn't play it until after work on Tuesday.

To that, I'd also add that it's one of the few 3rd party games worth playing on the N64.

I love that game so much. <3 Treasure

Help me Marinaaaaaaaaaaa . . . .

If the old tales are to be believed, the Emperor beloved by all, subdued the dragon in times of old. He can do so again in some manner. His might is limitless even as he sits entombed upon the Golden Throne.

Our brothers in the Mechanicus would never suffer such a xenos abomination to dwell beneath or upon the surface of their holy Mars.

This is always funny and always relevant.

I preorder mostly because it helps me to budget. With a game huge game like Diablo, I don't preorder out of a fear that a retailer will run out of copies, but because I have a spare $60 in February that I may not have in May, so I put that money down.

I can understand your frustration with the cash auction house, and the lack of super-advanced graphics, but please don't confuse the requirement for a constant online collection with "no singleplayer." You can absolutely play singleplayer as much as you'd like. The difficulty scales based on how many players are in…

Although I'd personally be upset, because of how attached I am to collecting physical copies, that approach would at least give English speaking peoples the option of enjoying it. You can't really argue with that.

It's pretty bizarre and seemingly random how certain titles get pegged for a Western release while others don't. We'll probably never get Suikoden for the PSP which has a pre-built fanbase, we never got Nintendo and Monolith's Soma Bringer for the DS, which would have sold well due to fan recognition of both of those…

That doesn't surprise me. The visual design was alot less mature overall, and handheld iterations of popular series do tend to skew toward a younger audience. I really wish the West would get a crack at the new PSP entry into the series though, that one looks pretty legit.

Thanks for clearing that up. I'll look into 5. I'm just glad I'm not completely crazy for hating on 3. Sometimes I'll pop the game in just to watch the beautiful intro movie . . . but other than that it's just gathering dust on my shelf. I felt like such an outcast when all my JPRG friends were plowing through it,…

I've always found the battles in 2 appealing. Sometimes I buy a game simply to archive it because I consider a particular aspect of the title worth preserving in my collection. The whole reason I hunted down a copy of 2 was because I found the fluidity of the sprite animation and the dynamic camera movement in the…

There's nothing wrong with what you've said. The State-by-state approach is the only way to safely proceed, and please as many people as possible while slowly getting some some things done. I'm just tired of safe, and tired of slow. As the Gawker article points out, there was a time when Roe v. Wade was also a…
