Diablo 3
D3 has been on the board for at least a year now. The april fools joke they did was the loremaster class, he's got no hitpoints but can be pretty powerful. Anyway, I'm not really that interested in D3. if it's standard diablo fare i'll probably get really bored by the end of normal setting.

Thoughts about Game awards
So I just watched the Game Developers Choice Awards and got to thinking. Why does Spike and other "mainstream" media groups run their own awards shows when the GDC is already set up, and has more credability to it because the devs themselves are choosing the awards, rather than arbitrary decisions based on sales figures. Anyway, Would you guys watch the GDC awards if they were on tv like the academy awards? I probably would (they look better than anything spike ever did). Also at GDC, my worship of Hideo Kojima went up when he had a little skit where he caught two guys running around as Raiden and Solid Snake, then joined them. Then he got the lifetime achievement award. And Tim Schafer only got 6 jokes apparently (instead of the 22 in his game... yes he actually did mention it if you looked).

Wrath of the Lich King
raiding is going to get a small heap tougher . Naxx was intended to be easy as a general introduction to everyone to raiding. Ulduar is intended to be hard enough that you can't just sleep through it.

[TV] L/O Criminal Intent
I'd suggest going to watch the first couple of seasons of the main show. He's one of the investigating cops in those seasons. I like North because of his history with the series, but haven't seen much work on CI from him to be honest.

What are you playing now?
Halo is beloved because it was the sort of Half Life of Consoles. No other game had managed to produce a control scheme that worked so well. Halo 2 built upon that but was to short and spent most of it's time on the Arbiter rather than Master Chief. Halo 3 was in all honesty a very generic shooter that legions of fans loved because of it's multiplayer (it still competes with COD4 for the "best multiplayer" award for XB360... you either love halo or love COD4's multiplayer modes... rarely both)

What are you playing now?
What little I played of Lost Odyssey put me off because I fought my way to the first boss and ran into a brick wall. I mean the game mechanics and style were great, but it was one of those where you were expected to run around and farm levels for 2 hours before taking on a boss. The battle system is more standard than Last Remnant. You get a party and select their actions on your turn, I didn't get very far but I don't think there is anything like a 30 minute battle. If you have a Playstation I'd suggest digging up Final Fantasy's 7+8. 8 is the lesser of the two in my opinion, but those two games kinda created the blueprint for how the genre is percieved. If you like the roaming around with armies, Suikoden V is pretty good (has army battles every so often, but is mainly you running around with a troupe of friends), also Final Fantasy Tactics (now released on the DS) and the Disgea series are turn based strategy games of a sort, but have very japanese feels to them.

When life was simpler
Gorths summary: Left handed people are too stupid to be even considered for a job and if we had been given more tax payer money for bigger and better equipment, we could have produced useful results? What did left handed people do to offend you? Everyone starts right handed, only the gifted overcome this fault

My brute
<has a dog and an axe... I've noticed my win ratio goes up when the dog exists because he takes and deals damage at the same rate I do (he's a shield!)

Ulic Qel-Droma's Fall to Darkness
Don't get me wrong, the space fights were BOATLOADS of fun, but the ground battles were extremely boring, and the "metagame" felt like a toned down version of Civ.

[TV] L/O Criminal Intent
That "other guy" is detective Logan... he worked Homicide at Precinct 27 with three other officers... Including Briscoe. Translation, He's actually a character that was in the original series for four seasons or so, then they kicked him out (by having him punch a city councilman) because he and Lenny's characters were too similar.

My brute
Seriously, I have no clue who you are. It's like you made the account here just to get us to help your brute I'm up to level 5 with 13 wins. Some very close calls, I had to kill two dogs in one round earlier. I'm almost to level 4... and somehow I picked up a pupil *boggle*

What are you playing now?
Problem is that all major raiding guilds have their tanks set, while they usually can rotate DPS much faster than a tank.
