I'm glad you asked!
Gone are the days of the simpletons 1-10 rating system. The more sophisticated gents use a -5 to +5 bell curve rating scale.
We all know the generic system. "What's that girl out of 10?" "Yeah she's a 8 bro". There are heavy flaws in this system. Everyone is rating girls on a different curve. Some people rate a 6 as attractive, some only rate 7's and above as attractive. This is an important issue that needs to be standardised.
A basic background to the new system:
A few months ago, a friend of mine working in a terrible retail job to pay his way through Uni, was asked by a fellow colleague what he rated their manager out of 10. This woman is the closest thing he has ever seen to a troll, and that is not an exaggeration. Short, fat, moustache, bumfluff, disgusting face, the lot. Scoffed down mountains of greasy food every break she got. He, personally, did not feel comfortable giving this lady a positive score, or a score on a scale of attractivity.
So we decided that - If there is a scale of attractivity, there needs to be a scale of "de"tractivity.
The -5 to +5 system is born:
Now I know what you're thinking. You're saying "Hey, that's the same rating curve, you've just moved it from 0-10 to -5-+5". Wrong, it's called a bell curve.
Now the first thing you need to learn is that a 0 is a girl who you find completely neutral. You are not attracted to her, you are not detracted to her.
The -0.1 to -5 side of the side of the scale is how detracted you are to someone. Basic bell curve rules apply. I'd rate my manager a negative 5 as she is easily in the worst 0.5% of the population.
It is a vice versa for the attracted scale.
The F Clause:
For scores free of bias the rater should not have had any conversation with the ratee. If you want to rate your girlfriend, get out of here. Find a neutral with an unbiased opinion.
Here is a nifty graph for a visual representation

Tecnorobo posted a message on Go to Diablo 3 SnacksThese decisions could be even more important than the choice of your gaming rig, reading up on the book of cain, or even the use of one of dem fancy bo-dangled build calculators. I'm talking about the choice of your Diablo 3 gaming snack.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
You're gonna need to fuel yourself. Somethings gonna have to tide you over in the wee hours of the morning. How will you survive all of those dinners you missed by accident? Let's face it, a gamer is only as good as his snack. I know my witch doctor and monk will only operate at roughly 75% efficiency without the proper tools to keep me going.
So, forget about release date conspiracy, Korea, your frustration with Bashiok, black soulstone theories or the imminent release of 3 new wallpapers a week.
Let's talk about snacks. Beverages.
What will I have by my side?
If I hearken back to my Diablo 1 & 2 days, the first thing that comes to mind are large bags of Doritos. Spicy Nacho.And of course, copious amounts of Coca Cola Classic.
I assure you, these will be by my side often. However, since the days of windows 98 and XP, my tastes have matured, and my drivers license notifies people I'm over 21.
Alongside coca cola, gin and tonics will represent a strong showing. For midwest crowds, 32 ounces of rooster booster from Quik Trip will also fuel me.
Snacks- Pita and hummus. A delicious, healthy staple.
Pizza Rolls- let's face it, for a frozen food, they're hard to beat.
Cheese- it's my favorite food, what can I say.
Doritos will still be in the line up.
BBQ cheddar cheez-it snack mix. - Simply delicious. I could tear through half a box in one sitting.
I just might add some more thoughts as time progresses. But, I want to hear from you all.
Oh, and by the way, the name is Blake. I got tired of lurking, and couldn't think of a better way to introduce myself. -

Verity posted a message on 15th Anniversary Cinematic WallpapersSince everyone was so excited (:P) about new wallpapers for the 15'th anniversary of Diablo and we didn't get any I figured I'd hop on the task.Posted in: Diablo Wallpaper and OS Art
Put together three with the new sneak peaks of Inarius, Tyrael and Diablo that were shown (and then removed?). Just the basic Blizzard frame around it. The quality of the screenshots are not perfect since the video wasn't full hd, but it's acceptable imo
Wallpapers are available in 1920*1200 (for the cool kids) and regular 1920*1080 for you others. For you non-widescreeners.. just crop off the edges :P.
All the wallpapaers with different resolutions can be found here:

Savages posted a message on It's Not Korea. It's Not WoWPart of Bashiok's job is to quell the masses. He's never going to admit that it is either the RMAH or WoW or some other factor. It's his job to say otherwise so that people don't get upset and rage. Whether you believe him or not, he's more than likely lying for his company to protect their reputation, no matter what the reasons are for delay.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion -

OmniNom posted a message on Development and DelaysEveryone and their dog keeps making posts about Blizzard delaying release of Diablo for financial reasons. I'm going to ignore all the reasons that this idea is ridiculous.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
AFTER listing them.
1.)Delaying past Christmas misses the biggest sales period of the year, which will surely lose them hundreds of thousands of sales
2.)Continuing production means paying all the developers working on it for that much longer, further decreasing the net profit
3.)The beta still has plenty of bugs, battlenet features are unfinished, and the runes system is still being fooled around with, so clearly it's not ready for release
4.)Delaying release makes stockholders nervous, and since information given to them is public, we know what they know, and they have been notified of no sinister delay conspiracy. So Blizzard would be devaluing its own stock.
5.)It's fucking Blizzard. Since when are long development cycles unusual?
But we're ignoring this, because the most ridiculous part isn't all the very obvious reasons why the idea is insane. The most ridiculous part is the fact that some people think that their own personal convenience means more than the budgets and development cycles and physical health of the development team.
People working on Diablo 3 have been in crunch time (60+ hour weeks) for something like eight months. The company has sank millions of dollars into the project. The development team has spent 5+ years of their lives putting their blood, sweat, and tears into the game.
But your own impatience overrules all objections. The game should be released NOW, because you're tired of waiting. It's not like there are any other things in your entire life you could be doing.
If that doesn't sound not only absurd, but incredibly callous, then you have some life issues to work out. -
