"sticky bomb lika you" wasnt too bad.

"Just like hiroshima" was a bit close to the bone I imagine.

Someone already tried a multiplayer i76 style post apocalyptic affair and it was a terrible mmo mishmash. Alas a single player i76 would be too niche these days.

haters gonna hate. I still log in occasionally. The more pooped on of my friends have been sucked back into wow. Some of the less pooped on still hop into D3.

Cheap items ahoy on the AH. 10M got my WD from comfortable MP4/5 to comfortable MP7 last night. Not bad really.

It is similar to steam wallet. However, does amazon allow part payment? since steam wallet DOES allow part payment it is very easy to zero your account, thus you can save up when you get a discount for loading up your virtual currency and can zero it when you part pay.

Ive had no issues with steam wallet either.

We licenced CS4-Cs6 for £9k for a site licence (tier 1). It will now cost us 13k with the cloud model. It has been such a shake up that the curriculum is being changed to drop flash (was on the cards anyway) and look at alternatives ranging from GIMP, serif even corel(!) we have 6 months remaining till renewal.

So that is one customer adobe has lost, along with all the students who wont need it either (private institution, piracy isnt likely to be an issue)

Sadly, the "escort them from the building" seems to be standard operating procedure in a lot of the game industry. The claim is they're worried you will steal information or designs that belong to the company, or that you will take documents that can be used in corporate espionage. It's more about not letting that information get to the team before you inform them, though, if you ask me. They want to spin the story however they like.

Problem is, with high ranking people they tend to do a lot of work at home and probably already HAVE assets available or backed up. doing crap like this is likely to simply anger them even more.

I'm the same as you. Im currently using an AMD E350 which does the job in a pretty small case (with my cast off first gen 20gb SSD so noise wise almost zero). Not sure how I would run my blu-rays either as I doubt the USB ports will be up to snuff.

But as a cheap iplayer/internet radio box (for the kids), thats another thing entirely.

I also wondered why they had put SOTS on this. Surely what most people in the know remember is that SOTS2 was a super buggy launch. I waited for solid reviews before parting cash for this.

that being said it is fun enough.

xwing alliance STILL gets the odd game at our lan parties. It is still a great coop game. Nothing like having a massive space battle with furballs everywhere. You truly could have you and your mates each have a number of wingmen all forming up for a run on a star destroyer (or two!). Given that you could even have an AI run the shitty ywings if you liked.

a most impressive game that really did work for me. Being as there are tons of addons now with lots of hires packs available it still plays well.

Im not sure how a sequel could be done though. I could dream and drool about a 32 player game with epic space battles. Perhaps even the nirvana that is a control of a capitol ship crewed by human player if so desired (perhaps a commander overview map or battery control etc). It wont happen though as it will be too niche.

No matter how awesome it is it wont be made cheaply due to the pound of flesh required.

<sigh>
diablo2 =/= diablo3
diablo3 was NEVER ever going to be "diablo2 with better graphics". diablo 3 was always going to be a different style of game with some core similarities.

diablo3 was different and worked for some people and not for others. I *did* play battle.net diablo2 . LOD was released a year after D2? I cant remember exactly as I didnt buy it on launch (unlike D2). D2 wasnt exactly multiplayer sparkling on launch either. There were just as many bots, item hacks and dupes - more so that D3 IMHO. I still remember my games getting visits from bots constantly. Not so on D3 anymore.

diablo3 was ok for me. Ive said this time and time again, for the price I paid I have more than gotten enough entertainment out of it. If you dont like it then dont play it. Indeed, haters are gonna hate.

News Comments > Blizzard Acknowledges Diablo III Item Duping

usual haters and trolls.

Seriously if you dont like it dont play it. I liked D3 and I played it. Got bored and moved on. Occasionally I fire it up and have a game with some friends.

It isnt like blizzard werent up front with the always on DRM. Barring a couple of hours on the first night ive not had any issues (outside my own internet connection) stopping me from playing.

I dont really care that it is an online only game. Most of my games are online only (in a way) since they are multiplayer ones.

god mode was patched out fairly quickly and the dupes arent RAMPANT dupes just the odd batch. It was worse on D2 when you could leave your PC to roll an item for you. I still remember generating a whirlwind mana/life leech weapon for my barbarian. you dont seriously think that a piece of software can be 100% bug proof do you?

no idea what the problem is.

wp8 support runs out in 18 months. so when the "service pack" wp8.1 is released then THAT will have 18 months. When the original 18 months support on wp8 has expired people will either have to update their devices to 18.1 or have no support.

this happens on ALL MS products. When the product is EOL or no further SPs are planned then it is either EOLd or extended support kicks in (look at mobile 5.0 - still on extended support for a few years yet whereas wm6 stopped this year).

It simply means you either update to teh next SP or dont get support. It has nothing to do with being canned.

Im assuming the casino compensated the high rollers as I thought poker match staked player money vs player money with the casino taking a percentage of buy in.
