Also meh.

The skill you've got labeled as "Wrath of the Berserker" is actually "Super Sayain Four". Just might want to edit that bit of misinformation.

If I failed to incite in you the anger that I feel with my previous figure, consider this:

Duke Nukem Forever will be released before Diablo 3.

Over 46 million American children have been born since Diablo 3 started production, if my calculations are correct. That's about a sixth of the country's entire population.

This news leads me to believe that the game will not be released until 2012. In 2005, the game had already been in production for four years according to Gamer Steve. Eleven years of development? Really? That's like three times as long - and that's being generous - as the development time of any average triple-A game released today.

SHIP THE GAME, D*MN IT. Quit dicking around!!

Edit: I don't care that it's more concrete news. I've been waiting for this game since I was a child. Can you grasp that? I grew up in less time than it took for Diablo 3 to be developed!

It's just occurred to me that Isis is just the concept of The Unburied, morphed into Hydralisk form with a naked chick slapped on it. Still beautiful, though. grats

I wonder if it's too late to start a smear campaign against everyone but me.

I feel like it's a little unfair for me in the Mechanics department. I'm one of the few people who designed a common monster - most everyone else did minibosses - and I wrote the mechanics around it as such. It lives to die, so the fight shouldn't get crazy.

But whatever. I'll at least get ONE vote. :whistling:

They should just go the Torchlight route and make it 2 gems to a higher grade. That makes it just over 1000, a much more feasible number considering you're going to have 12 or so slots in your end-game gear.

Edit: I did one too many x2's, I think. It might just be 512. Still, that's a lot.

Lots of people insist that making the Cow portal either next to Akara or next to the Stash yields the most cows. They even get violent about it if you make it somewhere else.

Good read, thanks for that, Scyber.

I'd really like to play The Hell, but I haven't got Hellfire.

I know it's illegal and probably against forum rules, but does anyone know where I can download Hellfire? It's like impossible to get for under 60 bucks. (PM me, I guess.) Much obliged.

Very nice interview. Thank you, Sixen!
A bit disappointing about Ureh. I haven't read all of the books yet, but I was still looking forward to seeing it. It looked awesome in the cinematic teaser!

Your interview all kind of went downhill from the PVP question, though. He wasn't cooperating as much once you tried to get him to slip up.

They really like to make Witch Doctor skills indirect, like Fire Bats. I mean, it's not necessary for the bats to be present in a typical Flamethrower skill, but why the hell not? It fits!

This is why I say Tar Baby instead of just Toss Tar Puddle. It's got a kind of voodoo mix in it, animating an idol. Imagine the WD tossing a little tar golem on the ground at which time it charges, rams, and explodes upon a group of baddies, smoldering the whole way. Now they're covered in burning tar and slowed down at the same time. Sounds pretty b'dass to me! Much more so than tossing some tar on the ground.


The only problem with this whole thing is the quote says "Watch your step," meaning that the player is guaranteed to be avoiding tar that's on the ground. I got carried away earlier and didn't read the whole quote. Oop.

Or some kind of skill.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Maybe the witch doctor has a new spell called "Tar Baby" that explodes into a puddle of tar under enemies to burn them and slow them down.
