I honestly can't see time as being a problem for this not being updated.

Surely it took longer to put the watermark on than it took to draw the pony

Rogue and I think my D2 one was Necro.

For D3 I'm going to hope there is a "Make random char" button.

I heard that there was darkness first, then God(Ruler of the High Heavens) said: "Let there be light!"....

The High Heavens are not ruled by God or anything similar to God.

And if the above was a joke, my bad

Sorry, my sense of humour is a little lacking. :sweat:

Edit:
On-Topic:
"There is no light without darkness, and darkness without light."
That's basically it.
Magistrate covered the good V evil thing.
Well I wouldn't go as far as "Good and Evil" in terms of the two sides. Technically they both have the same goal: "Obtain humans and turn them into an ultimate fighting force against the opposing side.".

I would say it's less of "Good Vs Evil" and more of 2 different tactical views from either side. In reality, Demons are only evil because their tactics are more of "Negative". Obtaining the Human race by manipulating our

'Fear(of death)' because, in the end, all humans fear death even though they don't understand why.

'Hatred', our want for revenge, anger and (obviously) hate. This covers all humans that have anything against other humans or perhaps Heaven.

'Destruction'; Let's face it, humans are destructive. We do more destroying than anything else.

-This is just my opinion, though. It obviously clashes with the ACTUAL "balance of good and evil" story, but yeah.

Edit2:
And we can assume that Angels and Demons don't have these emotions, because is it not a trait of humans? Feelings and such?

No to Dragon. How would we fight the only dragon in the Diablo universe? If he's made of stars and "everything" is shown under his scales, from the past to the present to the future, then wouldn't fighting him be incredibly unrealistic, even from a fantasy world point of view?

But I think the Diablo world should have something to relate to Dragon. Not a dragon, but something big, bad and powerful to kill. Besides the Prime Evils, of course.

Then again, the "Sieger", or whatever was shown in the D3 Trailer vid, would it not show that they are capable of making epic boss fights and therefore they will have there own version of a "dragon" run, without the dragon of course, in mind?

Quote from Turmobil

Piracy is fine.
I support freeware developers.
Blizzard is being a total douche for removing LAN from their games just because Kotick is being a greedy fuck.

Indie games I have no problem with.
Just that most of them suck balls and don't deserve my money.
Especially the ones that call themselves 'art.'
That's just a bunch of bull.

As Equinox said, they have to adjust to the new market.
This is no longer their territory.

Blizzard took LAN out simply because there are lots of people out there with that attitude. It's an obvious anti-piracy maneuver. And how do you mean "This is no longer their territory"? They are creating the games that you play, and they want to make a living out of it, they have families and in any case themselves to feed, something I think you'll find they definitely don't steal (food). Anyways, why I respect your opinion, I wished you'd kept it to yourself.

The thing about piracy is that without it many people just wouldn't be able to afford the products their pirating anyway. I mean think about it, I have maybe 50-60 games in my library right now, that's... $6000 if you count it all at $99.99 a game (though some are cheaper I realise), and that's a whole lot of money that most people just can't spend due to them having more pressing needs like food.

Now, with the above in mind, many companies adjust their prices against piracy, and some pirates use the fact that companies overprice their products to insure against the pirates somehow justifies their piracy, because by adjusting their prices the companies are legitimising piracy. They're saying "We know you exist, but we can't do much more than adjust the prices against your activities."

That's one aspect, but I would say that most people can afford to buy the games they play, and quite a few don't. And this is mostly what the problem of piracy is, that game companies, which are a BUSINESS, the entire point of which is to make MONEY, don't get the funds to make MORE games. Think of it like shoplifting from your supermarket. You wouldn't do it, it requires luck, skill and balls. Plus you wouldn't dream of not paying for simple things like food that you need to survive. However piracy is just so easy, and your not stealing physical things, and your pirating things that you can do without, and so few people are punished for doing it (and when they are they're handed ridiculous sums of millions that they'll spend the rest of their lives trying to pay off) that people believe in what they're doing.

The cost of a game company going to court and enforcing their copyrighted material is pretty exorbitant, and that's why they feel they can't take action against individuals, because they have to make back the court cost and money off the person. And that's what makes piracy stick, lack of action due to a failure in the justice system. Though this shifts the blame once again off the shoulders of the pirates themselves.

I think maybe steam has it right, release a small game for $5 a pop, promote, get people to give it to their friends (it's $5), sell a few thousand copies (it's $5), and then a few months down the road no one is playing it anyway, but the company got their capital.

Now, removing LAN, I would argue that while understandable, it's not a good idea. Because you are giving pirates an opportunity to provide the LAN service with their pirated product. Meaning that they are providing essentially a superior product to Blizzard. This is also the case with DRMs, the pirate takes away the DRMs of say Assassins Creed 2 and it's a better game for it. I like Blizzards approach of loading your CD-Key into the Battle.net site. And I like how they've not gone DRM mad (removing LAN is definitely not DRM mad, at least you can play offline). Though I hope they provide a LAN service to SC2 very soon.

Your white text is blistering my eyes...

Never have played, seen or read something about Halo. I hate FPS on consoles too. Sadly most games ignore Mac and Pc now adays.

None of what I wrote was taken from Cracked.com. None of it was even due to opinions formed after me reading Cracked. If you can back up the empty words you're always spewing all over the board, it would be grand. Otherwise, stop posting mindless comments solely meant to criticize and put down others without any sort of constructive criticism to make it somewhat bearable. Your posting as of late is pure and utter nonesense. None of your posts are worth reading anymore. They're just annoying. If you want to act all anti-social with a hint of badassness, do it in your own topics...oh wait, you don't create topics, you just ridicule and put down OTHER topics while at the same time complaining about the very fabric of said topics. Cut off this bullshit, you used to be 200x better, posting wise, content wise, everything wise. You're just utterly annoying and make absolutely no sense recently.

If you like to see some really cool ruins one of my favorites is the Hindu temple Angkor Wat in Cambodia. It just looks like it belongs in Diablo.

This totally looks like the witch doctors lounge


If that doesn't remind you of Kurast I don't know what will


More awesome images of it

A little background info on it
http://en.wikipedia....wiki/Angkor_Wat

Are you crazy? Game manuals are the best potty reading ever. I also really loved the Starcraft manual. I read that many a times while making a dookie. Sometimes I'd even just stay on the potty and keep reading after I was all finished. That's right. You WANTED to know that about me!

As for Wirt, yeah like I said you can get lucky with what he has sometimes. But I'll often find just as good stuff with Griswold. Also, I recommend finding a weapon with knockback. Knockback was super annoying in D2, but in D1 it can be so useful. Especially with a ranged weapon. I personally love the Rogue. You up her Dex as high as it can go and get a nice bow, you're all set!

I'm liking the whip cream!

Thought I'd show you all the next Diablo III creature sculpt I did:

I'll take some better pics soon, this pic looks more squished than it actually is.

I'm very sorry, but you had to know this was coming.

I don't know if anyone else found this, but I searched the forums and I couldn't find anything about it. So if you have, I'm sorry for repeating information. Anywho, on with it.

When you enter level 16 (Diablo1) it plays that weird sound of Diablo saying somthing you don't understand. You can see the clip right here, you should recognize it:
http://www.4shared.com/file/194776040/c6bcfd1b/Lvl16int-normal.html

I thought it sounded funny so I reversed it and it actually says somthing! It's really easy to make out, this is really the reversed one, if you don't believe me you can extract them from the dibdat.mpq, its in sfx\Misc\Lvl16int.wav

This is what is says after its reversed:

HAHAHAH! =)



Note: If this has been discovered and everyone knows about it, I am sorry. I didn't know about it till now and I just discovered it and thought it was funny =):D

tyreal isnt evil, and if Tyreal falls in battle God types /revive.
