Humodour

It takes longer than an hour. A lot longer. More like a smegging day.

It

Most DLC costs $10 regardless of it's actual content. Since when? 2007? That's something foreign to PC gaming which seems to have been invtented by consoles. Instead of full game expansions these days we get crappy rip-off DLCs.

I like how companies have been trying to emulate Diablo for over a decade now and the first one to actually do it properly is an indie developer that slapped a game together from scraps in under a year.

So do I but trust me it's not that bad. It's not as similar as you think. Give it a go.

Low. Steam says: OS: Windows 2000 or later Processor: x86-compatible 800MHz processor Memory: 512MB Graphics: DirectX-compatible 3D graphics with at least 64MB of addressable memory (such as an ATI Radeon 7200, NVIDIA GeForce 2, or Intel GMA 950) DirectX

Downloading now. Only 250 kb/s. It'll take over an hour at this **** speed. And it's 840mb instead of the 400mb listed on the Steam website. Annoying. Can't wait till the internet becomes free next year.

I believe in Australia the law on things liek first aid is that if you don't have a certificate you're not legally obliged to help, but if you DO have one, you are. Gorth/Hiro/Humanoid/whoever can correct me if I'm wrong.

That's the funny thing - we got Germany's low-violence version accidentally on Steam. The publisher messed up and now I have to download 8 gigs again if I want the correct normal violence version. But no, the game isn't censored here. Also guys, apparently a patch to fix the skill loss bug and Lilith stealth fade backstab skill bug has been released.

Also, it's excellent to see this game using the open source OGRE 3d graphics engine. The MMO portion of this game, coming next year will be an extension of Diablo 2 style mulriplayer. Apparently it'll be free to play (once you've bought Torchlight). Awesome.

am assuming it is more than just the diablo ii clone it appears to be. HA! Good Fun! No. Why would you assume that? Do you find it unfathomable that Sawyer would find a well-built Diablo clone to be enjoyable?

I think it's disgusting that we have to pay for the DLC, especially considering it's $10 and was finished and ready for release before the game had even come out. 10 ****ing dollars.

a) Lilith's main skill is bugged. I want to play Lilith. b) I can't play until the 30th anyway. So I'm inclined to wait. Then again, I'll probably be making lots of chars anyway so losing my first char's skills due to a bug probably wouldn't bother me that much. Losing items would be a bit worse but still...

Epic.

Because Afghanistan attacked us. Iraq is just about making world a better place, eventually. In fact it was certainly 'not' Afghan army who attacked the USA. It was a few fanatical and deceived young teens claimed to be Afhgan citizens who willingly were ignored by American officials to form an artificial reason to use the newly developed high tech nukes and weapons on weak nations. For Iraq I can say that the reason was the same. Develop new weapons and try them on nations which are by far the weakest and certainly has no power to stand against you. Saddam could never reach or invade USA. I'm sorry but I'm cutting my pubic hair and I doubt if they work when you don't have pubic hair. I think as a supposed 'mod!' you are supposed to stabilize and neutralize the environment instead of polarizing it via trying to affect or organize newby members against a particular site member. I'm sorry to see that you have not changed your fascistic nature since my last visit years ago. However, I can say that I am happy to be remembered with every detail of my former posts which were heavily critisizing the political actions of your country. I want to comfort you via declaring that I have no intention for insisting to post on this site as my years lasting semi-ban continues. In fact I am attempting to make my account deleted via asking for this to Fionavar every 3 years, as I feel snubbed when I realize that my posts are being read by mods before they appear here, especially after seeing a dozen of posts like yours popping up here without being read by some site authorities. I was going to respond seriously to this post, but then I realised you are somebody's (admittedly hilarious) troll account. If anybody on here wants a good laugh, might I direct you to: http://forums.obsidian.net/index.php?showtopic=42221&hl= http://forums.obsidian.net/index.php?showtopic=43980&hl=

I'm not going to bother with this any more. Too much annoying drama, not enough science fiction (or heck, even some action would do!).

Yes. The fact that it even mentions vitalism is hilarious. Vitalism was discredited centuries ago. It's pretty easy to replicate (or even create) DNA artificially without bothering to clone it inside a bacteria or virus, but I'm not sure why that even classifies as creating life or playing god - it's just a polymer, like rubber, plastic, or wood.

I guess my anger at this case is mainly at the stupidity of the crime and the loss of a man who contributed so much to the community. Kaftan is right - 18 years is a long time. I'm not sure 6 years more would change anything. 18 years is certainly deterrent enough and if he's rehabilitated now, another 6 years would likely help nothing. As far as I can tell, this guy didn't personally shoot Victor, he was just a goon. But it still doesn't feel right to release him. Especially not to simply deport him back to Malaysia, where he will effectively be a free man (whereas here, his parole would be closely monitored). It looks like the public outcry here has forced the state government to intervene to try and prevent the parole: http://www.bernama.com/bernama/v5/newsindex.php?id=450198 Walsingham, you believe in protecting society. Rehabilitation is one way to do that, but only if the rehabilitation is effective. Do you think it should be the main goal of gaol-time? And if so, how do you reconcile that with a desire to see a man like this serve a longer sentence if he appears to be rehabilitated? I ask because I'm torn myself.

Your point simply doesn't follow. Why would Wal-Mart's failings relate to a successful digital distribution services that ONLY caters to gamers? If anything, it's the opposite: Steam is a world-wide digital retailer. The pressures of a single market or demographic are significantly lessened. I'm not even sure that such a juvenile app is in any way comparable to a genuine adults only game (like, say, Fallout). But supposing it were, it's no surprise: Apple has always tried to maintain a certain image and it has treated apps like that from the very beginning (before the iPhone was a big hit), banning things like swearing, porn, etc from its store. These decisions by companies like Apple or Wal-Mart follow a deliberate decision about the company's brand image (a decision taken without really even thinking about the gaming market, not least of all because gamers are minority customers for these businesses compared to your generic mums and dads out there - these are family oriented businesses). Steam has no such issue with its brand image - it's explicitly for gamers.

http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story...5006784,00.html It angers me that the bastard didn't serve the full 24 years. For those who don't know, Victor Chang was a pioneer of heart transplants and artificial hearts whose murder was absolutely pointless and unfair to the world. Thankfully his research didn't end with his life.

I assume I can be loyal to the worldwide revolution, yes? Otherwise, comrade Rorie, I may not end up purchasing this game. You should not buy it at all comrade. Since it's just going to feed the capitalist machine that is the video game industry. Contribute to the revolution and stay bored. I have corrected your sentence.

But if digital distribution grows bigger, they may find themselves under the same public scrutiny as retailers. How so? Digital distribution doesn't need shelf space. You don't risk losing money if you stock copies of a game that don't sell.

Nope, that's just my old underwear. The washing machine is broken.

But you don't get the point - why the heck is the street release date here even different to America in the first place? What possible benefit could it serve besides annoying your international fanbase (which is larger than your American one)?

But it's already ****ing out in the retail stores here! Jesus Christ.
