Am I the only one who liked the red outline.
No. I like them as well. It's very retro (back to Diablo 1).

I have a question to native speakers of english. Do you understand 100% of what Jay said? Or there are some words which you couldn't catch?

I actually play though act 3, too :O. It's gotten pretty bad. The other day my brother asked this level 95 if he wanted to do Lam Esen's Tome, and the guy didn't even know what it was.

It wouldn't let me install from the disc, though.

Something a lot of people don't know about is that Apple has a refurbished section on their website were you can get obscene discounts some times.
I got last years top end laptop (4gb ram, 15 inch screen, nvidia 9600, 2.53ghz proc) for more than $1000 off the original price.
The computers are always in brand new condition, too. The way it works is that if some one returns a computer with a faulty part, they take all the good parts and put them in a stock pile. When they have enough parts for a complete computer they put them in a new case and sell it for 15 - 50 % off the list price.

The main complaint was the over all light hearted style the early reveals of the game had. There were cartoony spikes over everything, the witch doctor saying "oggey boogey," the gallons of anime blood coating everything, the huge shoulder pads, the disappearing bodies, the Barbarian using ranged spells more than melee attacks, the marshmallow demon, etc. There was a lot of stuff for people to complain about besides the color.
Was it premature for them to complain? Yeah, but they also had every right to make their voices heard. Blizzard even said they got too much negative feed back about disappearing bodies, so they changed it.
The newest reveals of the game look fantastic, of course, but now people are concerned over new things, such as reply value. I was one of the people who thought that I didn't like where Diablo 3 was going. Even though I've changed my opinion, what I didn't like had nothing to do with colors.

Not entirely true. iMacs and Mac minis are for the most part non upgradeable, but Mac pros totally are. Each internal component is in a neat little drawer that you can pull out and replace without mucking around with wires and stuff. Still, buying a Mac for games isn't a financially good idea, unless gaming isn't the main function of the machine.
As for game selection, Macs can run and Windows OS. For 64 bit, OS X 10.6 can boot into either.
I'd say flaming people for choice of computers is for people with no life. Seriously, wtf is your problem? Any can see macs are over priced for the hardware, but they are excelent computers. I have Windows and Mac, and both are good for different things. Overall I perfer Mac OS X to windows, because it seems more fluent. But really, the Mac/PC thing is so 1990s. Get over it already.

Spending your whole life tattooing your self while growing a Rasputin beard, learning martial arts, and learning magic isn't cool enough for you?
Also, could the Monk at Blizzcon use helmets, shields, poll arms, or any other weapon besides his staff? What did his armor look like when you put on a heavier set?

Later, when Azeroth is destroyed by the sundering it turns into a Volcanic planet renamed Char, and the Forgotten One turns out to be the overmind, setting up the next Blizzard game, World of Blizzard, where Medivh summons heroes from all of the franchises via the cavern of time to do battle.
I wouldn't put it past Blizzard.

Except in Canada, England, France, Denmark, Sweden . . .
America spends, on average, around $7500 per person a year, while England spends around $3400 (converted from pounds), and we don't cover everyone, and our insurance companies reserve the right to deny to pay for pre-approved operations.
And about wait times? Canada, England, and France all have private insurance companies. That's right, after 61 years of completely socialized health care, England still has a strong private insurance sector for those who can't stand "the wait."
Our private insurers are expected to raise their premiums at six times the pay raise rate in the coming years, while continually dropping and denying people from their plans.
No one (except far, far lefties) is suggesting America goes to single payer (like England, where no one has to "buy into" a plan, you already are taxed accordingly), but they are proposing a public option: something no one is forced into (the part of the bill Palin and Limbaugh say forces you into it actually is just for educating people who have lost their insurance to what their options are) and competes, not dominates, with the private sector. Remember, England's fully socialized health plan hasn't put private insurance out of business after 61 years, so why would a less comprehensive plan put the more powerful American health insurance companies out of business.
The next argument is on taxing people to pay for the public plan.
1) 2/3s of the plan is already paid for by rearranging how Medicare and other governmental plans work.
2) The public option is an option that individuals buy into out of pocket, so that will also help pay for the plan
3) No one making a profit of more than $250,000 will get taxed on this at all. Even people who make up to $500,000 can only be charged a tax of up to $1500. If the public option works to lower over all prices by adding competition, people will see savings in their own plan, even if they don't buy the public option.
And about the whole thing where people say it will pamper people who have lost "all will to succeed." Do you really think that people who are on welfare or would buy a public health plan are living it up on tax payer dollars? Most of these people live in sh*t holes with starving families to feed. They are in no way living a half way decent life, even while "milking the system." These people are living at the bottom of America, and no one should ever suggest that they are somehow living fulfilled lives on tax payer dollars, and no one will ever want to be in their position, no matter how many government handouts they get. They may be alive, but they certainly aren't enjoying it.

As for 3D sound, I was never able to get it on my G4, but it is >10 years old.

You mean like falchions and sabers? There were also jagged edged two handed swords in D2. I honestly don't see the appeal in 8 foot long, 3 pointed, set with skulls, demon horn handled weapons that you can duel wield. It looks stupid, ridiculous, childish, and cliche.
Diablo 2 got the feel between fantasy and realism pretty much spot on.

Wrong in what sense? I only stated what Bashiok and other Blizzard reps have said about features in the game.
Actually, the Diablo series was never a real RPG series in the sense that you don't "role play" at all. You can't make choices about what side to take, can't decide where you travel or where to fight, or really have any effect on the world around you. You choose a character class and follow a predetermined quest path to the end of the game, which is always the same.
I like how when I repeat what Blizzard reps and devs have confirmed about the game, people seem to think I'm attacking the game and saying it will be bad when I'm actually quoting what the game, in its makers own words, will be like.
If a post here doesn't explicitly idolize D3 (and I always make sure I affirm my positive feelings for the game), people attack you for being a petitioner or a troll.

I love Gauntlet, so it isn't that big of a deal for me, but when people say something is "different" about Diablo 3, this might be what they mean.
