    Hell is not frozen yet! (Diablo 3)

    Can't tell if you're serious or just pretending to be dense. Character editing was never the problem with D2 on closed Battle.net, duping and botting was. With D3, characters don't expire, and there isn't a ladder. Once an item is found, it's there forever unless it's broken into crafting...

    Hell is not frozen yet! (Diablo 3)

    Easy. Because an offline mode provides a free-zone for testing hacks. There's really no excuse for not having internet these days in a first world country. You don't need super high speed net, as hero actions are handled client-side. Early in the beta, EVERYTHING was server side. This...

    Hell is not frozen yet! (Diablo 3)

    I think as long as you have a diverse kit, you aren't going to have any huge problems with Immunities in Inferno. Also, with runes you can change Bola Shot to Poison, Lightning or Arcane damage. From the Best Buy Developer Q&A: Q:With Diablo 2, enemies in hell difficulty almost all...

    The Guns and Ammo Thread

    Checked the last three shops on my list today, and got to mess around with several Mossbergs (bunch of 500s and a 590). None of the prices were particularly good, ranging from $50-$150 above what I'm seeing at Bud's, but I don't doubt I could get the price down a bit by haggling a little and...

    The Guns and Ammo Thread

    Been hitting up the local shops looking for a bargain without much luck. They all seem to have literally hundreds of ARs, but like ~3 different combat shotguns in stock. There's a Gun Show coming next month, so I'm pretty excited for that. I'm sure you guys have been to plenty, any idea what...

    Hell is not frozen yet! (Diablo 3)

    It has nothing to do with it offline modes being "outdated", it's simply the best way to combat hacking. Does it suck that you can't play offline? Sure, but if that means we get dupe-free multiplayer; that's not a terribly big tradeoff. There's going to be maphacks (Can't really stop that...

    DayZ

    Reminds me of the old OFP zombie maps but with more players and more of a focus on pvp. I'll have to pick up Arma 2 the next time Steam has a sale if the mod's still alive.

    The Guns and Ammo Thread

    I'm aware of that and will definitely be putting in time on a range to get comfortable with it. All the research in the world won't make up for a lack of experience. I was referring to ease of use in relation to stopping power and shot placement. A single shot to the midsection with 00 buck...

    The Guns and Ammo Thread

    Don't own any guns, but I'm currently in the process of fixing that. I've been looking for a nice home defense weapon and the Remington 870 seems to be the most recommended as far as shotguns go. I couldn't find nearly the same level of consensus on pistols, and they don't seem terribly...

    Hell is not frozen yet! (Diablo 3)

    D3 is "Railroady"? Either you never seriously played D2, or you're just complaining for the sake of complaining. In D2 there was a TINY handful of builds for each class that weren't trash, and once you started that character down that path there was no turning back (Until they finally wised up...

    Hell is not frozen yet! (Diablo 3)

    Lack of customization? Yeah, totally. :smug: The Necromancer can go from normal through hell without needing any farmed gear without much trouble. http://www.diablofans.com/page/tools/skill/d2-Necromancer.html#kk11111101100k0000001111110110l0l0l0l0l0l000000000l00 Once you've got your...

    Hell is not frozen yet! (Diablo 3)

    They did the exact same thing with D2. They took the story and worked with it, filling in some blanks here and there and built upon it. I don't see that as a negative at all, as just like D2; previously established lore isn't being sloppily altered (Like they've done with Warcraft), it's merely...

    That's not a retcon, Aiden is the Warrior from Diablo who then became the Dark Wanderer that we see in Diablo 2.

    Hell is not frozen yet! (Diablo 3)

    Easy and forgiving? It's a small slice of Act 1 on Normal. It's not supposed to be hard, and it isn't exactly going to be ultra-action packed as far as your characters are concerned, since you hardly have any skills at that point. I don't know what you were expecting (Every skill/rune unlocked...

    Do you have any fears?

    Did someone say spiders? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8VlKjLdVrM They also eat snakes.

    Hell is not frozen yet! (Diablo 3)

    Pure Lightning works, it's just really expensive. I was doing <30 second Chaos Sanctuary clears years ago with my pure Lightning Sorc long before Blizz/Fireball and Orb/CL became the standard area MF builds. I had my Infinity in a plain Scythe so I wouldn't have to deal with constantly reviving...

    Do you have any fears?

    Heights, sharks and alligators. The heights thing is weird though. I don't mind flying, and I love rollercoasters; but if I'm standing near a ledge of some sort, it feels like I'm being pulled towards it. It's a nasty feeling. You shouldn't worry about fairytale bullshit like hell any more...

    Legend of Grimrock, old school dungeon crawler RPG

    Throwing weapons are better than missile weapons since they're one-handed, can be used with a dagger, and by the time you actually get the best bow you're literally on the final level with ~20 minutes of gameplay left. They're still a good bit weaker than daggers (It takes a LONG time until you...

    Help topic: Identifying books/comic books/movies/anything

    I've been trying to find this horror movie I remember watching as a kid at my babysitter's house. This was in ~94, but the movie itself was most likely from the 70s-80s. I was five or six at the time, and I definitely remember there being tits; so it'd be rated R for sure. It was about some...

    Legend of Grimrock, old school dungeon crawler RPG

    Keep in mind when leveling up your characters that you're probably going to end the game at around level 14 which leaves you with ~56 skillpoints (There's a couple +5 skillbooks you can snag as well). The game HEAVILY rewards specialization, so I would recommend picking two trees and sticking to...
