I've been reading that Diablo 3 is essentially a flop as far as MP is concerned (and none of my friends liked the single player at all) What's the verdict? My verdict is that while it's not as addictive or fun as Diablo 2 was, it still stands head and shoulders above anything else that's out there. Sadly, it's a game that got destroyed by it's own lofty expectations. Like StarCraft II, the game is flawed but even if it was a much better game people still would have hated it.

Tropes are not bad.

Yeah, me too. NOW YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE I'M COMING FROM. (Actually, I wish I had time to play it because I was still enjoying it quite a bit but alas, real life has taken precedence over video games.)

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how much fun I'm having with Diablo 3! (I'm joking, nobody's still playing Diablo 3.)

Please, someone implement a dislike button so I can dislike this heathen.

Those new maps are not affiliated with Slender. They are a seperate product which Parsec Productions have publicly distanced themselves from, made by different people who just copied over the entire project. Not saying you can't enjoy them of course, just makin' it clear on behalf of Agent Parsec who really doesn't enjoy being associated with the subpar Slenderman's Shadows maps.

Dusted off ye old Minecraft. There goes my free time.

This is super interesting, so thanks! I felt kinda sad reading about Blizzard, though. That always seems like the holy grail of Game Development Jobs. I guess that title belongs to Valve, then.

Yes, and that goes for everyone. If you need something truly disturbing, PM mkrekky.

Apparently the beta for Heart of the Swarm has started.

I was wondering why the lightsaber conversation hadn't taken place... Awesomesauce, man!

Hell, I've played as a Ranged Barbarian.

On a private profile of a personal friend and colleague, there was every reason to think he thought it wasn't public. It's not like he went out and issued a statement that Breivek sucks. He commented on a colleague's Facebook status. That is, in intent, pretty much entirely the same as a leaked e-mail. It was obviously not meant to be public, otherwise it wouldn't have been swiftly deleted. Even if that weren't true, it still doesn't matter one bit.

Big whoop. I'm so insulted that this guy was angry and insulted someone related to a game I like in a Facebook comment outside of official company capacity. Seeing this as a personal slap in the face is a completely ridiculous idea. News flash, game developers are people too, and they don't have any obligation to act as role models. What concerns me is what this developer does with his game and whether or not I will enjoy it - that's what will affect me. Whatever bull**** he says regardless is completely irrelevant and the fact that this was even reported as news is a sad statement on the state of Game Journalism and Game Communities. Caring about this is the same as caring about the latest Twitter bitchfight between Miley Cyrus and Lindsay Lohan.

The amount of drama about this on b.net and other Diablo communities is unbelievable. Who cares? Someone had a moment of anger and cursed someone else out. Big deal.

What the? That's a great loss.

Mila Kunis plays World of WarCraft. Her taste is questionable.

Don't call Bill Murray's brother "that fat guy"! Call him "THE fat guy"!

God Bless America. I laughed so hard I cried. So much wish fullfillment in one movie!

It's not like the school tests and books are worth anything anymore. Most kids do their studying on wikipedia.

A few days back I wanted to install KoTOR 2 again to play through the new version, but first I wanted to beat this freeware horror game called Slender. Supposedly, it should take somewhere between 5 to 12 minutes to beat, but I can't do it (I made it to page 6, but then the Slender Man always gets me) and my paranoia level is rising to the point I can't sleep (I keep looking behind me like in the game), so I'm just going to give up and start a fresh install of KoTOR 2. Wasted a couple of perfectly good days on this tiny little game.

Nope, it's demographic is those who started reading it as teenagers twenty to thirty years ago. Current generation teenagers don't read comic books.

Slender. I think my heart may explode.
