    I think he should have had his hand on his heart, but that was his choice. Remember, it's not a dictatorship, he has the right to choose whether to do so or not.

    As for the flag lapel pin, I find it disgraceful that politicians wear them, and you will never find me disgracing the flag in such a way.

    You can thank your beloved George Bush for the disgusting Flag Lapel Pins, he was the one who started wearing them, thus making it the popular and "in" thing. Damn a-hole...



    Correction: That's communisim/dictatorship.



    The Prime Minister of France has a husband who she is not living with, and she has a misteresser (Male misteress type thing) as well as children who are not her husband's. The French have nude beaches and invented the tounge.

    The difference between France and America: The French dont point and giggle when they see pee pee parts.

    There is no talk about abortion or religion or sex lives or any of the like during elections there. They go out and vote. We stand around and bitch and whine and moan and groan about the difference between Methodists and Baptists, when there all fucking Christians.



    Islam is barbaric? The Bible talks about selling your daughter into slavery as a sex slave, bashing babies against walls, turning people into pillars of sand for looking in the wrong direction, killing everyone on earth except two people because there are "Not good", and the list goes on. Oh yea, Islam is sooo more barbaric.

    Note: This is not a slam against Christianity, simply pointing out that one should not talk about another religion without first knowing of one's own religion.



    If a woman thinks about fucking another man in her mind (And women, havent you all thought of fucking someone besides your man at one time?) then they commited adultry in the eyes of "The Lord" according to the Bible.



    Except this is a general disscussion forum, and many conversations such as this were going on long before folks like you came, and they will continue long after you have grown tired of this forum and have left.

    No offense.



    Arnold Swatzeneger is not a natural American, thus he can not be a president.



    I love disscussions such as this... Hehehe...



    Oh boy...

    Do not make the assumption that I love George Bush, no matter what you've deduced from my previous posts. As for Explorer's points, you have misread or misunderstood them. Please read them again more carefully before making a post. Making a "correction" on his opinion doesn't compute right. The statement you stole from my post about Senator Obama does not give a reader the whole story, as I was listing a reason why I would not vote for him, not that he doesn't have that right.

    Why you deemed it necessary to bring Christianity into your argument is illogical in regards to the debate that was being had. The topic was Islam, and you used sarcasm to portray your belief that Islam is not barbaric. I then implore you sir, to read the material at this website: http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/

    Before you post again, take into consideration that my offering to you that link above is not a complete summary of my opinion of Islam, but rather an informational resource for you. We are not talking about what is more barbaric, but rather if Islam is barbaric or not.

    im dead serious about the gnome heros , i'm sure 99% of the d3 community would welcome it

    Stop. It's not funny.

    Also, as stated before, stop with the Ninja bullshit. If you want a class that isn't obviously related to the Diablo world, go play Everquest or DnD.

    I really, really loved Goldeneye. But, once we hit "The World is Not Enough", the bond world went to shit. I was so happy to see Daniel Craig give an astounding, refreshing performance that hit the bond role bullseye.

    Did Blizzard create Diablo? No, they did not. They bought the company that created Diablo a month or two before the game shipped.

    Does Diablo 3 currently look like WoW? Yes, yes it does.




    Because I'm a fan. I've been waiting 8 years for this game.



    Can you show me a clip of a scene from any game made in 2001 where comeone gets bitten in half? No, you can't. Can I get you one of someone being bitten in half post 2001? Yes.

    Physics is expected in todays gaming market. Titan Quest set the bar here.



    And Diablo isn't about horror. Diablo is about a gothic look an appearance. You don't understand what I'm saying, and it shows. You're completely misunderstanding it.

    What we saw are two places we know from Diablo 1. One we know VERY WELL, the other we can see while in town. They look nothing like that. 20 years? Sure. K. Blue-green doesn't replace black in 20 years. That doesn't even make sense.

    The whole thing is that what they are attempting to do is not working, and it isn't working for a very large number of us. Bright vibrant colors have not fit anywhere into the world of Diablo. The only place they have fit has been in the spells and armor. This is what made the game. The contrast between the bleak world and the colors.

    People don't get this.

    If you have a bright and colorful world, your bright blues, greens, reds, purples, etc from your armors, spells, abilities, etc become lost. They are not brought out. They aren't the focal point. The combat loses a lot of attention because they want to bring attention to the world.

    That's not the point of Diablo. The point of Diablo is to have impressive spell effects, abilities, auras, armor, and weaponry that is brought out by the bleak landscape. This also helps make you feel powerful by putting your character at the center of everything.

    This is why your first encounter with the bosses was amazing and unique. They stood out from all of the normal bad guys and looked much stronger than you without making them GIGANTIC. There was no need for them to reach to the sky like what we saw with the dragonspawn because they contrasted well with the rest of the game by having a unique pallet of colors that played against the act you were in.


    Andariel? The red on her body played well against the act as red wasn't used very often. Her bright green poison spell also contrasted against the dark dungeon floor so it was not only easy to see, but easy to kill. This act set the entire mood for the game and it did it very well.

    That big slug thing from Act 2 (can't remember his name, I hated him)? Him being ice was no coincidence. Not only did the color choice for ice go completely against the desert theme, but it was very easy to see over the sandy textures of the encounter and act.

    This act was very colorful while starting to become moody.

    Mephisto? Surely this is easy to explain. The extreme dark of the act contrasted perfectly with his lightning. It made it easy to see and stuck out. Him being primarily blue also contrasted the blood-and-black of the Durance of Hate. It made him stick out and seem epic. This act was very colorful yet very dark and moody.

    Diablo? Pretty self explanatory. His red fire not only works well because it is hell, but it stuck out because of the very dark floor. This act was very colorful yet very dark and moody.


    Baal? Easy pie. His purple and red spells contrasted perfectly with the light-blue-almost-white look of the snow. His appearance not only made him look intimidating, but it fit perfectly with the act.

    I can't see what could fit well within what was shown in Diablo 3 besides something not-so-intimidating... and that's pretty un-Diablo.

    Do you see what I'm getting at?

    You, sir... have written the best argument of a fan yet.

    A big problem is people see this as "cartoons", instead of rather "animation", or what I like to see as, "artistic evolution".

    It seems like most of you want Marilyn Manson to take the position of lead artist with Diablo 3. While pink is not the new black, black should not dictate an entire world. From what we know, 20 years have passed and people have forgotten. Would people forget if little demons ran around with pikes burning the landscape until it was wrought with ash? No. This is the return of evil after some long time, and the world of Sanctuary will burn. Just be patient. Hell will not be a princess's messy room in a medieval castle, nor will it be Buffalo Bill's skin hole in the basement. The world will go from bad to worse, and things will be darker. Open your minds past the simplicity of visual satisfaction, and immerse yourself in the game when it comes out. There is much more to darkness than a broken light bulb.

    To much of your dismay, I'm sure, Avenged Sevenfold covering "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" will not be featured on the soundtrack.

    I am very skeptical about this, but notice he did pause the game. I'm not very computer saavy so I don't know if he could fake that, but... I'll let you decide. Don't flame me, I'm just a messenger.

    Why does a sequel means CHANGE EVERYTHING AND SCRAP OLD IDEAS USED IN OLD DIABLOS.

    Explain.

    Because its a waste of TPs to go back to town to unload items that, thats annoying.

    Because potions are basically useless once you get to act 5 in normal.

    Because the graphics are evolving, but you can make a modded expansion for d2 if you really want to.

    I really love the old necromancer, but I feel he has been replaced by the Witch Doctor. Now, it doesn't make any sense at all to just replace the necromancer and keep the other D2 classes. I don't believe anyone wanted to replace the necromancer because he sucked, and whatever the reason is, is strong enough for another new class over an old one as well. IMO the Paladin will also be replaced, who I liked too but I find his similarities too much like the Barbarian.

    I hope I'm just wrong, and Blizzard is wrong, and the programmers rise up and create 10 balanced, unique and delicious classes.

    Adventures

    old abandoned house to explore evil cult sumoning ritual
    Caravan that needs protecting
    Enemy camp with boss

    I'm not exactly sure about this, can someone explain if this is a sort of... continually updatable(sp) and changing quest system, so that we never run out of different adventures to go on with our party?
