People who hang those plastic balls from the back of their pickup truck. I guess its not so much that it rustles my jimmies, but it just completely perplexes me. I just can't understand why someone would do this. I mean, I really just cannot fathom it. What kind of person would do this? Why? How...

Weirdly, I got my shit kicked in by the Knight just before King Vendrick. I never thought the fight was that hard, but for some reason I kept on fucking it up purely out of incompetence. That was pretty frustrating for me because I didn't even feel satisfied when I beat him - I just thought "Wow...

Boss Souls can be used to make Boss Weapons - which are generally cool-looking but inferior to whatever +10/+5 item you originally planned on using. There are a few exceptions - for example, I use the Dragon Rider Bow - but the rest of the Boss Weapons I tried were pretty underwhelming. Depends...

Loved this series and always thought Kate was super bangable. Awesome and much underated gameplay with cool gadgets and sweet (at the time) graphics. Would play again.

My 8-year-old son summarized my D3 experience with 100% accuracy yesterday. Unprompted, after watching me play for a few nights, he remarked "This game sucks when you're not getting legendaries. And even when you do get them, they're mostly crap". Yup.

I found that the best way to handle this was liberal uses of Human Effigy. You find a lot of them anyway, so I basically split my gameplay into two categories: exploring shit (where I never cared how much HP I did or didn't have since death was usually inevitable); and trying to actually do shit...

I'm still enjoying this game despite its many flaws, but godamn fuck you Blizzard for charging 450,000 gold a pop to compare gems in a slotted item. That's totally retarded. How the fuck does that make the game better for anyone?

The only caveat I'd make on character creation, and it is pretty obvious one, is that if you choose to go pure melee some of the bosses are considerably tougher. Some of these bosses are also basically trivialized by being able to cast. Respec is easy to come by so can't really screw up too...

I also thought they handled poison way more intelligently in this game. Instead of "lol big poison swamp you have to run through" there was intelligence to the design and a risk vs reward way of proceeding. Sometimes you still had to run through it, but you could do so intelligently. Maybe it...

This is the first item I've got in Diablo 3 where I've actually thought - well, that's kinda cool I guess. The had decent stats for my shitty DH too so I was...well, at least I'm wearing them.

Quick question: once I clear Act 5 with my WD, can I then make a Crusader and level him to 70 without ever setting foot in the campaign? Or do I still need to go through the story at least once with that particular character? I ask because there is no godamn way I'm running the story even once...

And don't forget down, you can fast slide down those same ladders

I absolutely loved the first Sacred. It was fun as hell and weird in its own way. The second one didn't have the same creativity and bored me over a period of time - never finished it. I have this one on my radar but I'm not sure I can really stomach this kind of isometric loot fest any more. D3...

Playing alone and with my kid. It is very fun, especially as an introduction to basic MP. I like the classes and the game has a lot of character. Not keen on the imminent DLC/microtrans but it is pretty fun.

Forget the shield. Tactics baby. You will die a lot if you try and fight him in that narrow corridor with poor gear. Lure him back up and around to the courtyard where the undead archers sit. He is easy to circle and kill without parrying if you fight him there. Also watch the direction of his...

It seemd pretentious and dickwadish as I was writing it, but it was almost like the pretentious dickwad force in me became so strong I couldn't pull back from the brink of dickwad precipice. Anyway, all I really meant to say was that there are lots of different reasons to play games. Some are...

After I had been soul-crushing defeated by Maneater about 300 times I went online to look how to beat him. I also looked up how to enchant items with specific enchantments after getting destroyed in PvP. But that's a lot different than lookin in advance of any experience and basically figuring...

/F /A /C /E /P /A /L /M Or, you know, that could defeat THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE GAME

Played last night for about 3 hours and had a lot of fun. Was mostly just enjoying the freedom of movement, wall-running, double-jump stuff. I think that's going to be really a powerful weapon for experienced players. I thought the balance overall was good. It doesn't completely suck to be a...

EA accidentally trolled its own employees yesterday by promising access to the beta starting Feb 12. Still no download code

Awesome. Thanks for the confirmation that this group will do fine. Luckily, yes, I switched my Barbarian to spear right away. Cool that I have an Orc to get to a specific area - had no idea that there was that kind of thing in-game. Can't wait to get back into the game tonight

Well I started my fourth or fifth playthrough after beating the lighthouse. I'm obsessed with making each slot have greatest impact. So far I'm pretty convinced the best 3 for me are: 1. Druid. Massive heals and good utility (Nature+Light) 2. Runepriest. Fire damage and backup heals...

The first time I got to Naga Boss I was intent on thinking that the lights would execute some brutal boss trap. So I kept on moving around and positioning myself using his knockback to turn them on in the right order lol. You can imagine my face when the last one lit and...nothing but a portal...

In 8-10 hours of playing I've found personally that: a) Tanks are not very helpful. The real killers are AOE or multiple-hitting attacks, and Taunt doesn't really affect those. In addition, putting someone in Heavy Armor causes them to miss so much it doesn't seem worth it. I've tried both...

Yeah I also thought it was a pretty great game. I had been planning on playing it just to oogle at Lara's tits for a bit, but the story and gameplay really sucked me in. One of the few games I actually finished (I almost always get bored before I finish games). Might even pick it up for Xbone to...

When your kids start refering to the time you were a kid as "the olden times" (e.g. Daddy's phone used to have a CORD and they used to have to STAY IN THE HOUSE WITH IT; you know, it was all like that IN THE OLDEN TIMES!)

PC + DSfix if you are going to play with a controller; PS3 if not.

The problem I see is that the MMO model is based purely on grinding and action-oriented combat (in the real sense, not dressed-up WoW shit) doesn't lend itself well to that model when you're talking about a PvE environment. Fights either need to be more meaningful and different; or AI needs...

Gruesome end to a fantastic career. Keyboard warriors who are badmouthing Silva should go fuck themselves - that's a terrible thing to happen to any fighter. There shouldn't be any questions about Weidman getting lucky in that fight - dominated the first round and used a solid defensive...

Would you care to reconsider your "would not bang" assessment?

This is not me but it is someone I knew - a very senior Network Admin guy for a company that got bought out. Because they got bought out no one at the new organization knew what my "friend" did. So he proceeded to do exactly nothing at his joband then went to work on contract at exactly the same...

I didn't play a lot of terrible titles this year but I think Shadowrun was the most disappointing. It was so impossibly boring, which is the last thing a game set in the Shadowrun universe should be. I also didn't play Ni No Kuni for more than a few days, but I think that's just because it...

Cool, thanks for the tip. I'll try that out and see what happens.

I bought a Xbone and the thing really feels half-baked. No USB drive support, no ability to play media, no connection to home (Windows) PC, weird auto-save integration and game pausing that seems iffy (BF4 save games all gone), voice controls that workd 70-80% of the time, strange voice...

Here is the inevitable "download this Xbone patch now before the servers shit on Friday" link. Note, however, that the damned files don't appear to be there yet... rolleseyes Emergency Offline Update | Xbox One System - Xbox.com

Thank fucking god for randomized levels + randomized mobs. That's basically all I ever wanted from this fucking game. The mind boggles at not having this stuff in 2 years ago, but I'm happy it is finally here. Ugh - might have to go back to PC from 360, and that means finding my fucking...

There's no possible way I could join you guys, but I just thought I'd wish you all the best from a veteran PnPer! Have fun and rememember - splitting up is always going to get someone killed.

I wasn't quiet but I was "peculiar". By that I mean that I often had a different perspective or opinion compared to other people my own age. The way I like to put it is this: if 10 people in a room are asked to solve a complicated problem, and 9 of them come up with roughly the same...

Thanks Actually, my sister and I are really close. We became really good friends during the university years when we began to realize (a) that we both just weren't the people our parents wanted us to be, and (b) we didn't have to hang out with each other anymore unless we really wanted to...
