Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus looks awesome!:thumbsup:

I thought I should share some great scenes from The Room
[spoil][/spoil]

Modern Warfare 2 seems good. One of the kids I tutor has been playing it like crazy since it came out. The system of unlocking perks, weapon attachments, and ranks seems to keep the multiplayer interesting. I only played one match online, but it seemed good(although not $60 good)

Haha, actually my brother got put on some watch list for having attended a libertarian rally(may have been one of the early tea party rallies).

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up on a deal I just found. Psychonauts is currently on sale for $2 for any of you that use Steam to buy games. I think the deal is just for today and tomorrow.

I hope this doesn't count as

This reminds me of a fake story awhile back that was set up to look like it was on the bbc website. It was when the swine flu scare was just starting out on all the news channels and Mexico was still mis-reporting high swine flu casualties. Basically it talked about(rather convincingly) some swine flu infected people were attacking/biting people and turning them into zombies.

I actually conviced a number of my students that it was real and they then went and convinced others that the zombie pandemic was upon us. That was a fun couple days at school.:D

Unfortunately the site got taken down eventually.

Yeah, I never got around to making an introduction either. A very belated welcome to you though.

I swore off Diablo 2 several times. I'd play for several hundred hours over the course of a few months and then decide I was so tired of it that I should quit and never touch the game again. Of course 6 months to a year later I'd pick it back up and be amazed at how fun it was all over again.

I'm currently in one of those spans of being tired of it, but I assume I'll play it again before D3 comes out, especially if the patch has anything interesting to me and fixes some of my gripes with the current version.

Good to know. Thankfully, I'm still infraction free. I don't think I've ever had any kind of infraction/warning on a forum and hopefully it'll stay that way.

On a unrelated side note, what browser are you using Seth? I don't recognize it(not that I've tried many, just kinda stick with firefox, tried and forgot chrome once).

Edit- Also, why does it show more of your recent reputation? For me it only displays the most recent 3(I have 17 total).

I like the idea. This kind of thing is always a nice addition since it helps to make the users feel like more of a community. I tried something similar on another site years ago but it never really took off. I'll look forward to checking these each fortnight.:)

Edit- Don't go back to Zhar if you don't want to, just keep the Zhar sig or add "formerly Zhar" under a new sig. If people just don't want to type extra they can always just use Fuzo, which sounds kinda neat too. People that have been more active for a longer period of time will have a longer time to adjust, but they'll be fine as long as you continue to ween them off Zhar as you have with the sig/avatar.

Another edit- hey post number 200. Yay and whatnot I guess.

My whole point is really just as simple as:
The so-called `reasons' for the new style are only `excuses' given to the fans of the old style.

I don't know that I'd call them excuses, more like reasons or explanations. But of course even given that reasoning, it doesn't mean people have any obligation to like it.

People should approach the complainers with understanding; we are talking about opinions.

Most definitely.:thumbsup:
In fact, that kind of thing is part of why I like the Diablofans forums so much better than gamefaqs or similar sites. The community here seems to be better about that. Not perfect, but much better. It's always annoying to see on gamefaqs everyone flaming someone just for having a different opinion or being less informed on the game's news.

But on the other hand, while everyone is free to express their feelings on the franchise, people should stop actually >complaining<, because the change in style has already been made; Blizz took their route and you got to accept it.

So long as people do it in a civil matter, I've got no problem with them complaining about their various disappointments. I figure they can discus whatever they feel like about the game so long as they put in an appropriate topic to avoid going way off topic. Speaking of off topic, I'm afraid I have gotten a bit off from the original topic in my last two paragraphs, so I'll stop now.:P

what would really make me flip out; player specific drops, health orbs, and autostats..... oh wait they are already in the game.

There is a difference between stating your concern/disappointment in a relevant thread and just complaining for the sake of complaining in an unrelated thread. That was the latter.

As for the topic, I played much more of D2, so for me it would probably have to be a revived, perhaps necrotic Duriel in a small room or as a random encounter. I think that would certainly take me by surprise,

History is not irrelevant. It's such thinking that gets the world into a lot of the trouble it is. Learning from our own history is incredibly important. If people spent less time living only for the moment (and I do stress only) and spent a little more time reflecting on the past, I think we'd be a little better off than we are right now.

Still, you're entitled to the opinion, and this thread is not meant for the debate of whether or not ancestral history is important, so let's cut it off here now that we've both had our say on the matter. (Unless you'd like to start a new thread, that is).


PS: I guess I just assumed people wouldn't think I was that shallow about liking a movie / not liking it. For the record, there are many movies with Sean Connery in it not playing a Scottish character that I like. The thing I didn't like was the fact that he was the only noteworthy Scottish actor and was one of the few people not playing a Scottish character. It just felt odd to me and was, admittedly, one of the things that turned me off from this movie.

I was going to post something incredibly long and ranting, but upon further thought I decided that rather than get banned for devulging my utmost animosity for these people, and probably scaring the bejeebee's out of most people here, I'll just say this...

Sterilizing the sexual reproductive organs of these people would be a blessing for the rest of the world.

With no synergies and no separated trees, this will even be less of a problem.

Oh god I'm laughing. This soundboard is amazing.

Any others out there?

Here is my very own fan-made map of Sanctuary that includes most of the locations that we have ever heard about in the Diablo series (manuals and novels included). I designed it myself using Solomir's cartography.

Its about 6 x A4 pieces big. It was originally drawn up from the DII manual's map, but then just after it was nearly finished Blizzard released their own updated map. So of course I then had to go back and fix my map to reflect the current state of Sanctuary with the Worldstone's destruction and everything. But that is also why the shape of the map is a little different. But don't blame me, blame those inaccurate scribes at Blizzard :P.

And as more information gets released (like when the game finally comes out), I'll continue to update the map accordingly.
