man I lost so much of my life to Dune II, I have no idea if I would have graduated had Warcraft 2 been released when I was in college

anyone diving in? I keep hemming and hawing about it. I don't know whether I want to go for this or Torchlight II; I can't imagine myself playing two click to kills.

is this out yet? haven't heard from some of my buddies in a few days - pretty much preparing to be without friends for a year or two b/c of this

midnight tonight.

I'm in your position, Snap, don't know if I really want to throw down on this. But for Torchlight II I'll wait until the Mac port comes out, at least.

i think i'm in but i'm gonna have to put some real serious boundaries on it or else i'm going to lose a job

I thought they were trying for a same date release for the Mac version. If not, that makes the choice much, much easier.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 14 May 2012 16:22 (twelve years ago) link
talking Torchlight II, obv. Diablo III is both systems as far as I know.
We can check for you on this thread every few days if you want, forks?
― Andrew Farrell, Monday, 14 May 2012 16:25 (twelve years ago) link
please do. i have a date tonight that a BIG part of me wants to cancel in favor of going home to bed and waking up at 1am to play for a few hours before work.

yeah, the plot/characters are the dumbest thing by far. it's kind of charming how they didn't try to make the voice acting any better

battlenet and blizzard.com slightly sluggish to react, but I can click around in there and still get some action.
I'm going to wait on this one til the patches start coming.
When's the next SC2 coming, anyway? Next summer?

ha, blizzard feared their servers would go down with the rush of people trying to get in. they were supposed to have a 45 second waiting time or smth like that to lighten the load on servers, but i guess that wasn't enough.

hah I actually thought the voice acting in D2 was pretty good, the voice acting in the D3 commercials/trailers was pretty cringe inducing tho

I agreed with a lot of this - IMO it's the same issue playing difficult NES and SNES games on an emulator, where you know you can just create a ton of save states and 'cheat' the game, which in turn makes the whole idea of playing it a lot less fun - you don't really feel like you 'beat' anything.

that article was a rollercoaster ride of TRUTH BOMB / WTF? for me. it did make me want to play his new game when it comes out tho.
― Roberto Spiralli, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 14:05 (twelve years ago) link
it made me wanna play diablo3 AND his game. The suggestion that a "number accumulator" isn't a game is ridiculous; I will buy D3 as farmville for hacknslash nerds though and own that. I love that he put up a number accumulator and his readers promptly played it to killscreen

I got a guest pass from a friend, so I'm installing as I type. It sounds like the servers are back up too, which means I might get a shot to play it as well.
