Diablo 3

Beat Saint's Row The Third.

Load up Diablo 3 a few days later.

Both protagonists have the same voice actor.

FUCKING RUINED.

I beat it a few hours ago. AMAZING. First Diablo game I've ever played *awaits a sack tap*. The art style is phenomenal, I haven't fallen for a games artistic direction this much since NiGHTS Into Dreams.

I did not know you believe in ghosts. Here is the link from the photographer

I've just been there. I will pick up my girl from her work, and we will go back there for a night stroll. I assure you they ain't no ghost there, or it's afraid of German Canadians or the picture is a fake. Posted Image

Here is roughly the spot via Google map

I don't, i live next to a cemetery. Also some people say that it was an Indian burial ground before that, but i'm not sure that it is true; although were there are a few Native American guys that visit the hill in the back. Long story short i still haven't seen shit.

The local council wish everyone on this estate believed in ghosts, when you move in they''re like "Thank you for chosing to rent with The Council, strange you should pick this house, only Mrs. Smith died in front of that fire there and they say she haunts the landing upstairs and likes to slam doors and move things... They also say it gets cold for no reason."

After you've been in the house a week you do indeed witness slamming doors, things moving and it getting cold no matter how high you turn the heating up, but then you remember the council is too cheap to install double glazing, the house is subsiding (the whole city is built on clay with no foundations) and the council's idea of maintenence is to paint over the problems.

Diablo 3 is okay. Then again I've only played the beta. Not the full game.

@ Reaperman - In my wacky town, two cemeteries are actual tourist attractions.

No I didn't. I thought they just want to make sure they watch all those TV commercials Posted Image

Not gonna lie, the Bud Light "Here, Wego" commercial was really funny. Got to get a dog like that.

Of course, I need to concede that the Coca Cola commercials were better overall because there was some semblance of a story involving drinking Coke and watching the football game.

Did you do both endings, I figured I would choose to save Shaundi (I think thats who I was saving) and thought yeah ok, finished the game.
Week later thought I would try the other ending of killing Killbane and find that that has a better ending with extra missions... shit.

When the rest of the same paragraph is referring only to Diablo, it's safe to assume he's talking about Diablo 3.

Well that's what i assume too. It would be annoying if i wrote a long post and it was actually te other game he was talking about.

Yep! Seems to me people talked more about the commercials than the actual game. No one seems to care that the Giants won or Madonna sung. But they talked about M.I.A. finger acrobatics and Samsung's ad ad got attention by Apple and Twitter - murharharharharhar Posted Image

I don't get logged in automatically. Unless I feel like posting I just lurk. Most of these guests might be search engines though.

They don't want your wig...

I've already asked a guy but does anyone know the best way to ensure that I won't have to reinstall Windows (and lose everything) when I swap out my motherboard/CPU/RAM (got DDR3 but it didn't work with my current set up like I thought it did)? I hear that if it boots and can connect to the Internet it will sort it self out maybe and I'll just have to reactivate it.

If it's OEM version then you have to rebuy it. If it's not, then have all the drivers for the new motherboard on disk or something. If Win7 boots you probably be able to use it like before after installing drivers. Reactivation probably be necessary. That's theory, haven't done it myself.

It goes without saying, but make a backup before changing mobo.

#5520 Posted 07 February 2012 - 02:33 PM

That is good to know. I have every intention of backing up everything before starting. At one point I was doing nearly monthly DVD backups but I have stopped that. I will grab important things and documents before doing anything though just to be safe...you know, Murphy's law.
