You can spectate games through the LoL client as well. And yeh comparing to twitch.tv is just conjecture. It's popularity on twitch is at least 3:1 though on any given day, generally viewership popularity goes Lol>SC 2> Cod> Dota 2, when dota 2 has tournaments being streamed it moves up to the...

I still want the sources showing Dota 2 overtaking leagues population if you'd be so kind. As far as I can tell after looking into it after your post, it still doesn't come close. There was some tournament being streamed on twitch today, they almost got the viewer numbers of a LoL player...

Looking into it further it's hard to get exact data. Right now theres 500k people playing dota 2 shown via steam stats. That's worldwide as far as I know, does steam have a seperate server for Asia? It's also saturday afternoon, I would assume that's peak time. Riot claims a 3 million...

LoL has the most fair free to play model of any f2p game to date. No surprise that not only is it the most popular f2p game, it's the most popular game in the world right now by a large margin. 30+ million total accounts, 4.5 million unique logins a day. Dota 2 doesn't come close and never...

After playing up to level 90 in torchlight 2 over the past couple weeks, I dont see how it can be held up as an example of the genre done right. Torchlights loot and skill system are pretty bad. I won't defend diablo 3s itemization but torchlight's managed to be even more boring. Woo I got my...

How many surrealists does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Two. One to grab the giraffe while the other fills the bathtub with brightly colored machine tools. What does a dyslexic, agnostic, insomniac do with her time? Stays up all night wondering if there is a dog.

I didn't start playing in 1.0.3, I had beaten seigebreaker prior to the patch. I got an 870 dps staff in act 1 that I used until i got a 940 dps oni blade in act 2. Extremely lucky drops I'll admit, but like I said, no-lifing it will get em for you. I then bought a 1085 dps staff off the...

Thoughts after about 400 hours (no lifin' it with the best of em!): eh, it's pretty good. The gameplay is really pretty fantastic. I don't really care for action rpgs usually, I never played any of the diablo clones. Played diablo 2 over lan with 2 friends a couple years ago and played...

It's 2012 y'all, I'll be real disappointed if I can't sync up wasteland 2 with my farmville world. ??? I don't like the idea of being able to have any real impact on one of my friends games or vice versa, but there are plenty of fun and interesting ways some social aspects could be...

I think some of you are overreacting a bit. Both references Fargo has made to "social" aspects point towards only being influenced by your friends who are also playing the game, not random internoobs. Sounds like something you could entirely opt out of. The concept of "passive"...

It doesn't matter one whiff to the money involved if the game is any good, only that it ships. The investors are just hoping for a crazy payday after buying way too many shares at 3 - 5 cents, they can smell the release of a Game From the Bestselling RPG of the Year Fallout brand, and can't...

The contract wouldn't be cut up piecemeal unless they settle out of court. It either stays in effect or is completely nullified as far as I know. I think everybody is in bed with everybody running a slowhand version of a pump & dump scheme, makin a little profit on the side while loading...

If Interplay can demonstrate that Bethesda negotiated the contract in bad faith they actually stand a decent chance, and Beth could wind up owing money to Interplay after all is said and done. Stranger things have happened. Could have been Hervey boys strategy right from the get go.

I've got an 8600 GT, if you turn hardware acceleration down a notch or two it gets rid of all those spell effect artifacts and what not. Just played through torment without a problem.

Interplay partnered with Masthead Studios and they are using the engine for the MMO Earthrise that's in beta right now. If the execs at interplay weren't interested in seeing this thing through I don't see why they wouldn't just start hyping the game now to drive up the stock and then dump...

Wow, that game looks like a modern action rpg version of an old school unforgivingly brutal MUD. It hasn't sold much, apparently most are complaining of the insane difficulty. I bet this could find a wider audience on PC than PS3, especially if they expanded on their semi - passive multiplayer...

I had a force feedback pro back in the Mech 2 / X-Wing days, worked great for both games.

Looks like I'll give pyschonauts a try first. Ridiculous difficulty isn't a big deal to me though, guess I'm a bit of a masochist. I spent a solid month of my early 20s conquering Ghost's N Goblins on the NES, a game designed specifically for arcades to deprive America of it's entire supply...

Nah I was just talking length. Pyschonauts eh? I've heard good things, that one got by me though, I'll have to look for it. Edit: Ooo, on steam for 10 bucks, sweet.

That's too bad, I guess I've never really seen an epic platformer though. Do the different difficulty settings affect the puzzles at all or just up damage taken and reduce damage given or something? And in your playthrough have you found all secrets and xp and everything? Just wondering...
