This better be Star Wars: Battle-Front 3, or I'm gonna be disappointed. by PIemanfirein gaming

[–]votercolonel 0 points1 point ago

Holy shit, HD Tie Fighter would be incredible. Especially if they kept the same music. Redone of course.

Why don't we see more shooters coming from top studios that mimic gameplay like Brothers in Arms or Republic Commando? by warbastardin truegaming

If you're making an interactive movie it's cheaper to have one script.

Blizzard delays Diablo III real-money auctions indefinitely by zakislamin Games

[–]votercolonel -10 points-9 points ago

Why did you buy it in the first place then? If you're so passionate about a franchise that you seem to have previously loved you would have known about the RMAH long before release.

Sitting on customer support for an hour to get your $60 back is somewhat petty. Also your refund is not really an effective protest, just in case you're enjoying the rarefied air on that high horse of yours.

I like the AH but will never invest my own money in the game and I won't be expecting anything back either. If you don't like it, don't use it.

Seriously, what is this shit? I see no point other than to be annoying, if that's the case it's the weirdest fucking way to annoy people man.

Rural Australia wants the NBN as quickly as possible | Delimiter by vj88in australia

[–]votercolonel 1 point2 points ago

You don't think it's just because they're the minor part of a Coalition that is fighting this all the way? Tony Abbott already has the anti-NBN plan written by and hugely benefiting Telstra ready to go if they win the next election.

At least Labor are just trying to build infrastructure. If Abbott gets in we'll get fucked over yet again just for the benefit of Telstra, not the country.

This is what happens when you get eliminated from Masterchef by circuseaglein australia

[–]votercolonel 6 points7 points ago

It's bad editing. They're only showing the ones that will last, there's no point getting to know the other contestants. In their own little way they're conveniently telling you who will make it through so you don't actually have to watch.

"Diablo 3 will not withstand the test of time like its two predecessors." - In-depth D3 Analysis by Lelldorianxin rpg_gamers

[–]votercolonel 0 points1 point ago

They're removing the mothership as the terrans will have their own superunit in the revamped Thor and I'd expect there to be only one massive unit per expansion of SC2. And anyway there are lots of unit changes between WoL and HotS with the mothership being only one, you're painting the mothership change as the only one Blizz is making. There are plenty of new units coming that they're continuing to test, they know that balance is the most important thing in SC2. Way more important than the actual single player campaign.

I don't think the mothership was a mistake, although it only really exists to cast 2 spells - vortex and recall.

You haven't kept up with the news then. Do you know that KeSPA is running around making exclusive deals with MLG for their BW players to compete in new hybrid competitions that will have both SC2 & BW showmatches? Do you know that Flash, Bisu and Jaedong are all practising and competing in SC2 now?

The change has already happened and within maybe a year it will be all SC2.

Blizz released another sizable update this month with the aim of buffing zerg as they were struggling early game. They're always working on balance and the little changes they make reinvigorate the game every few months.

I'm sitting in an almost dark room. It would have taken me longer than 5 seconds to find that link. Maybe 10.

You have too much faith in Tom Cruise. Is Scientology anything more than just words and constructs thrown together to sound important and wise? I bet he's loving this shit, isn't he like a level 7 Thetan and I'd say he might have gotten a discount for all the publicity he does for them.

Diablo III sells 6.3 million Life-To-Date, 3.5 million In First 24 hours by mehgandavidin Games

[–]votercolonel 0 points1 point ago

Check your last sentence, you might not have but I actually did read your whole comment.

Blizzard generally do fix their shit and listen to their customers. I do wonder if this was a bigger release then they expected but they do have enough experience with battle.net that the rollout and hosting should be running better than this.

When you said you hated the game, I thought you meant it.

You seem passionate though, I'm Australian and the lag does annoy me sometimes but generally I find shuffling across the different servers can help. Only once or twice has it been bad enough to be unresponsive, has it been worse for you?

I don't understand why this is a problem though. Have you played Starcraft 2? On the whole it has the same "core experience" as SC1 & BW, but it's been updated so well you wouldn't want a different experience.

I'm not sure what you were expecting when you bought D3, I was expecting a Diablo game. I got that game and I think it's great. If you want a completely different game, don't buy sequels.

Qantas to consolidate heavy maintenance by bacco007in australia

I heard it first on Triple J news, it followed as a strong second story after Craig Thomson. It definitely wasn't buried.

[–]votercolonel 1 point2 points ago

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise. Has a company ever been more predictable than Qantas' obvious long term plan?

Although they could have played on all the maintenance issues they've had in recent years, saying that current local maintenance doesn't work.

Was anyone else disappointed in Diablo (the character) in Diablo III? by Vicky_PC_Gamerin truegaming

[–]votercolonel -1 points0 points ago

You're right though. I'm only on act 3 on normal and I'm really looking forward to playing it again on a higher difficulty. Why Blizzard wouldn't allow me to start the game on Nightmare is beyond me though.

WA threat to split from Canberra by rubaisportin australia

[–]votercolonel 4 points5 points ago

It's a scumbag move by Barnett but unfortunately there are tons of secessionist morons here in WA who'll love it. He is scared that Mark McGowan is actually looking like a serious contender, something Labor hasn't seen since Geoff Gallup.

Unthinking partisan voters ruin our lives. Some fucking pragmatism wouldn't be unwelcome in Australian politics.
