^ LOL. Was having some video card issues on my desktop so installed it on the laptop. Heh, it actually runs better and looks great. Level 26 end of Act II. Barbarian is starting to make a bit more sense.

Hi. My gaming rig is now four years old. I've been very happy with it --- by spending upfront I've only *just* started to notice it creak performance-wise and I'm also happy with my Alienware desktop (2 years old now, an MX-15). I'm looking to get a new desktop gaming rig. I want to spend in the region of UK

Let's be honest, Chelsea didn't win so much as avoiding losing.

I thought only Word did only invisible formatting maybe he used notepad instead. I have an Ironkey with an identity manager function. Problem solved.

No, you aren't. Rich kids like her, whining utopian bull****, make me want to establish a police state and go seriously medieval on middle-class leftists.

I only played the demo but from that I concur. It wasn't that it was bad. It just wasn't that great either. The general style of it reminded me of Rift (how's that doing, btw?) and the whole episode smacks of folks who see what looks like a goldmine (MMOs) and get stuck in without the requisite experience. Mr. Salvatore's involvement also goes to show that just because you can write, it doesn't mean you can write for games and it isn't a key metric for making the whole piece stand out.

My main issue at the moment is the poor quality weapons sold by merchants and the inconsistency of smith levelling. This strikes me as an Auction House issue (nobody has bought my cracked vambraces, btw).

I will not LOL. Your decision was completely rational. Welcome, and I look forward to hooking up for some nightmare MP soon :D

Aye. You can't teach that.

The stranges thing about this photo is that there is no beer in the fridge.

This is Wals' spare room, in the east wing.

There's nothing kinky about eviscerating livestock in your spare time, boyo. It gets lonely and boring up in the hills.

Word.

Jesus I love this game.

No, I'm on a US server with StuG the barbarian, just been doing R/L stuff for a day or two.

OK I'm off to bed, I have Diablo 3-inspired repetitive strain injury on my fingers from clicking. I also need one of those gaming mice I think, you can CLICK FASTER THAT WAY. Did I mention that I love Diablo. But I hate the checkpoint save thing.

I've noticed that the coasting along level of difficulty changes considerably in Act Two. The crazy green flying bugs that fire machine gun mosquitos at you are driving me nuts.

I actually like second-rate action movies and Dolph has graced quite a few. Beer, pizza, dumb-ass action movie = great. Sadly this wasn't one of them.

Krezack, why not try reading my post again? Especially the bit where I discuss my atheism. In your indecent haste to play the man, not the ball, you've gone all Point. Not. Found.

Tigs plays hot wizard chicks who die more than a freshly dual-classed Imoen in BG1. I on the other hand have a manly barbarian juggernaut of devastation. Or something.

Not really. The 'Beast of Haverfordwest' is a retired farmer called "Dai the Maniac." He is merely roaming slightly north and eastwards of his usual hunting grounds (i.e. the Fishguard branch of Aldi where he rifles through the bins and drinks abandoned cider until he passes out). Dai will finally get bored of chewing cattle and go home to his day job as a traffic warden until the next full moon.

Here's a review from Rock, Paper, Shotgun that's spot on in my humble. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/05/15/hack-slashes-three-hours-with-diablo-iii/

For me it's all about D3, Company of Heroes and waiting for CoH 2 (next year). Having played CoH obsessively for many years I'm now almost slightly-OK-but-not-crap at it, which is a major achievement. I'm also looking forward to the re-booted BG1 and have tried Dungeon Siege 3 (which is OK).

Because I managed to get onto the D3 servers, played for fifteen minutes and got a "servers offline in fifteen minutes" message. WTF?

^ That isn't a movie, that's a spy camera in Blizzard's offices right now.
