I literally jumped for joy and screamed "YESSSSSSS!" at the top of my lungs this morning getting ready for work. My dog looked at me like "dude wtf?!"
This is the most amazing news ever. I'm taking my MCAT May 12th. This will allow me to forget about gaming for the next 2 months, focus on my studies, ace my exam, and then destroy the legions of hell.
It's been a great ride with all of you guys (and gals). Looking forward to the next two months flying by and smashing some demons with you all!!

ok im in a foul mood but i have to say it this time, is it me or is PICO pretty crap, im not gona bash her but her head needs to stop bobbling & hope she learns to read the cards or the auto-queue sooner than later, gona have to stop watching it
a girl talking about games isnt as cool as you think, for the people over 30 we dont give a shit, give us a guy or a woman who talks to us about the games instead of just reading it off a card
I've only watched 2 of them now. I agree, she's very unengaging and scripted. But I think Riot Games' Nikasaur is 100% worse. Go watch a League of Legends summoner showcase... see how long you can stand watching it... -

Official Blizzard Quote:
Neither of those are issues we felt like we could solve without a lot of additional work, and we’re trying to close in on a solid release date for the game, not move further away. When weighing these systems against releasing the game, we decided to cut these scrolls and stay on track for the game’s release.
This makes me very happy. Glad to see they are pushing things through to get this out the door. -

Jan 19, 2012Savages posted a message on System ChangesHere's an excellent post by one of the people on the original thread (not a blue post). Pretty much sums up my feelings:Posted in: News
Quote from »All the support for Jay's post and for Blizzard seems like a case of Stockholm Syndrome to me. There's a huge difference between being committed to quality and being obsessive-compulsive, and with this latest information it certainly appears that Blizzard is beginning to exhibit symptoms of the latter.
Its commendable that Blizzard has such a strong stance on quality - but lets look at the facts. According to wikipedia development on Diablo 3 begun back in 2001 when Blizzard North was still in operation. Over 10 years later and they're still not finished. The posts stating that it should not be compared to DNF - perhaps your right, but keep in mind DNF was in development for 15 years. D3 is quickly closing on that gap. While I expect the quality of D3 to greatly outdo DNF, I think even if DNF was the game we were all hoping it would be it would still carry the stigma of being vaporware.
Lets look at some recent releases - namely Skyrim, since I feel its a good indication of a deep and compelling game. Again referring to Wikipedia - development on Skyrim begun in 2008 after the release of Fallout 3. In under 3 years Bethesda managed to create a game whose scope is more than likely larger than Diablo 3. Its growing increasingly likely that we will see the release of games like Guild wars 2 and Torchlight 2 before Diablo 3's release, and I have no qualms about saying that the quality of those two games will be comparable to the quality of D3. At this rate, I wouldn't be the least surprised if those games overshadowed the relase of D3.
It would be naive to say that fans of Blizzard and the Diablo franchise aren't starting to get irritated, and this white-knighting for Blizzard and their delays is only doing more to hurt the fans then help. Its telling Blizzard that not only is it okay to give the impression that a game is nearing completion only to come back months later and say that numerous game systems were undergoing massive changes, thereby eliminating any estimate of a possible release date. It's telling them its okay to create incentives for their customers to throw money at, either via the Annual Pass, pre-orders, collector editions, etc...and then respond with this waterfall-behavior of game design.
The fact of the matter is the systems that are now being revised should have been changed months ago, either before the beta or shortly after. Changing it this far into the release cycle jeopardizes the game - it discourages the fans and it gives the impression that Blizzard is no longer the competent game designer that we've all grown to love.
At this point - it doesn't even matter to me. I opted for the annual pass - which I do, to some extent, regret doing. Seeing as there's no way for me to backout I have no choice but to wait it out. However, I don't expect that when D3 is released I'll feel the same joy and excitement when D2 came out - or D2:LoD, the feeling of finally being able to see and play SC2. Personally this is the death of the Diablo franchise for me, it'll be another game I install - play for some time, then quietly forget as I move onto better games.
And for me - that is a terribly depressing realization. -
Jan 19, 2012Savages posted a message on System ChangesGlad they have been thinking about these things for 10 years. They're completely redesigning it ffs.Posted in: News
They removed a few things, helping to make it come out sooner. But the things that they have CHANGED will push the game to Q2 or Q3 at least. Not happy about this at all. They really need to get their act together. -

I honestly don't want to hear another word from anyone at Blizzard, no more wallpapers or other shit, until they set a release date.

Nov 4, 2011Savages posted a message on Diablo III Beta Patch 5 Complete NotesPosted in: BetaQuote from Seiferbg
In that case I was mislead by Blizzard into wanting to play BH from the start. Fuck having to actually aim your arrows.
hehe you said BH bad aim is bad aim...
On a more serious note, this patch looks AWESOME!
I have been watching a few streams already and so far it seems as though the DH is still a bit underwhelming. Then again, I'm not a big fan of kiting, so it could just be the playstyle. Also, I watched a lvl 1 untwinked DH whereas most of the others I have seen have at least had a high lvl weapon at start, so that could have something to do with it.
Hoping to gain some more perspective from more streams/videos and HOPEFULLY a friggin beta invite! -

I managed to get 42% crit chance buffed by buying some new gloves and a 473 dps OH with 750 LoH and CD + Socketted CD.
Still dying a bit but not as much but I don't have the godly gear that I've seen some streamers with so I guess its okay lol

Honestly if crit damage is a good as I think it will be, we'll be one shotting each other in the PvP arena. All the +AR won't mean much.
Maybe! We'll see. It's team death match, so you keep respawning after each death. Just that fact alone we kind of expect it to be a bit of a meat grinder.
