    **OFFICIAL** Diablo 3 Thread

    You absolutely get to choose skills via socketing runestones. Since there's five flavors for each skill that change it pretty significantly, that's where the variety and "build" comes into play.

    9/14/11 Steam: Paradox Interactive Week,dead

    Magicka is fun and pretty funny. Demo is available and worth trying out. Not bad for $5 at all.

    Any updates on Torchlight 2?

    In an interview with Gamespot, Max said it'll be out by Thanksgiving. He has a vacation booked right after so he said he needs to get it shipped by then.

    **OFFICIAL** Star Wars: The Old Republic Thread

    Even though it says "Not Responding" in the task manager, I had to let it run 5-10 minutes the first time for it to boot up. After that it was fine. Try just letting it run.

    There is an AH, Message system, and a trade window -- just like WoW.

    Burrito Supreme 99 cents at Taco Bell thru August 6th

    Del Taco is still around (SoCal, anyway). Their chicken destroys Taco Bell.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops

    Mostly because Word at War demonstrated that Treyarch is very capable when given a proper development timeline instead of the 9 months they were given for CoD3. Infinity Ward will probably never be duplicated, but Treyarch is quite good.

    OMG shatter.

    No one mentioned that it also sports some of the best game music ever?

    How the hell do I get a SPECACT code for BFBC2?

    Try 7-11's. Some might still have Big Gulp cups with codes as well as the 20oz bottles.

    Warhammer 40k : Space Marine

    Now that God of War 3 has been delivered, this game is what I'm looking forward to most in hack-n-slash.

    Recommend a gaming podcast

    One more for the Bombcast. They're very console-oriented and have a good mix of personalities. They seem to be aimed at the over-25 crowd with a college-level+ vocabulary. No whiners really in this one like in Player One (which everyone else seems to like a lot, too).

    Will the next generation of consoles support HD audio?

    The audio available and supported in gaming is already the best of what's available. Any perceived shortcoming is just the production quality and not a technical shortcoming; it's up to the developers to create and implement sound well.

    Dante's Inferno - demo live on US PSN

    Most important thing about this game (and all games of this style) is how good the combat feels and in this case, it's fantastic. It's far too early to say the game is bland or boring. Tons of enemies and a satisfying way to kill them makes for good times.

    How many movie tie-in games have you played that were good?

    I liked The Two Towers and Return of the King on PS2. Hack 'n' slash goodness from Snowblind.

    Torchlight

    This game is a testing ground and way to finance the MMO version that will be out in the next year or two. No one will play your mmo if there's multi in the single-player version.

    Torchlight

    Yes. Available on Steam, most importantly.

    Borderlands coming Oct 20th

    This game shouldn't be compared with Fallout 3. Someone else said that Fallout 3 is an RPG with some shooter mechanics. Borderlands is a Shooter with diablo-style rpg elements. Apples and oranges. Quests are mostly like the WoW fetch ones. This game is about gunplay and finding bigger...

    Aion Coverage - It's live folks!

    It doesn't like NetLimiter, but other than that, GameGuard hasn't caused any issues for me on XP.

    I find the lack of Brutal Legend in this thread disturbing.

    E3 - anyone know how us regular joes can sneak our way in?

    I believe it's also invite-only now. Can't just sign up online as "journalist" because you have a blogspot account.

    Mass Effect on Steam

    SecuROM on a download service seems counterintuitive. With Steam's built in DRM, I would think that SecuROM is left off. Have there been previous Steam/D2D games that included the retail DRM?

    Your favorite announcer from video games!

    UT is my favorite for PC. If we were including any game: C-C-COMBO BREAKER! I liked the one from Killer Instinct :)

    Yes, you can. Open up topsites, go to prefs, then tell it to user your current page as home page. Should be something like "topsites:///"

    What do you guys use for e-mail/calendar?

    For Exchange, Entourage is really the only game in town. Mail.app can be set up for exchange access using webDAV (assuming you're on 10.5.5+), but you're still pretty much SOL on calendar. Your only other real option is to use OWA (web interface for Exchange) for both. But since you're...

    Which Call Of Duty ?

    Do you like modern weapons or WWII weapons? That's what it pretty much boils down to. The games are almost identical except WaW has a few extra MP options and larger maps. Both are great and you're not going to go wrong either way. Make your decision on what setting interests you more.

    Left 4 Dead Demo

    It was also never advertised as a single player game; co-op all the way.

    Anyone else think Theresa from Fable II sounds just like narrator of God of War?

    Gears of War's Locust Queen went for a similar sound also. It's a good benchmark to follow; the God of War lady has done some of the best voice-over work ever.

    which trusted online PC hardware stores do not charge tax in NYS?

    mwave.com is very good and I don't think they'll charge tax
