Re: Diablo 3 Beta
The only people playing the first Diablo online were the hackers in the first place. I only played single player and had loads of fun. I never did find a Godly Plate of the Whale, but I knew I was waiting for Diablo 2 to come out. I mean, if couldn't take that long to make. Yeah...

Re: Episode 34 - Clipshow
And even in a clipshow, Paul manages to steal the scene. I think I just like Paul too much. Kathleen and Graham we really love you too!

Re: Suspiciously Good Movers
I see the long-standing tradition of filming at 3AM has returned. This was like, 7:00 in the evening. It gets dark here. Was there an "early" missing at the end of that sentence, or do you sometimes get people that think you're so far north you can play sports under a midnight sun during ...

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles is hitting North America!
It looks like it's set up for a pretty limited production run. From the link: Update: According to the official PR that Nintendo of America just sent out, the game will be sold exclusively through GameStop retail outlets and Nintendo.com's website for $49.99. They wouldn't be doing that unless they ...

Re: PayPal hates children, Christmas

And Paypal has since rectified the situation, released the funds, and made a donation to regretsy's d...

Re: Skyrim on the PS3
On PC, I've had the dragons start flailing around randomly which slows my normally smooth gameplay experience into a juddering mess. That didn't happen before the patch. Take note, PC players, Bethesda left all of the terminal/console functionality QA testers left in the final release. This allows y...

Re: So, I started Chrono Trigger over the weekend...
I just beat the DS version a week ago. Strange timing. It's indeed as fun as I remember and I agree that it's aged remarkably well. Something you may not be aware of is the New Game Plus option. Once you finish the game, you get to keep all of your levels and items from your end game, but start at t...

Re: The Tale of Matt Wiggins
Perhaps it's because I liked the original Lonely Island version so much, but I haven't laughed this hard in a while. It wouldn't work at all without Ian's singing voice, however, so full marks to him for being the lynchpin to the video. For whatever reason, I think Matt switching hats strikes me as ...

Re: Episode 30 - The Glitchy Scrolls
Perhaps it was meant as a joke, but Desert Bus does have a glitch. It's never daylight again after it becomes night. Maybe you've played it so much you forget that that's not actually supposed to happen. That glitch did, in fact, make Desert Bus more boring . Good times. I missed Jer. I was happy to...

The fact that Tally would even consider reading a Desert Bus thread within a week of the event, let alone only a few days, is a great testament to the backend system. I don't think there were many claims that the challenge system didn't work "at all." We're just hoping for improvements nex...

I've (un)fortunately been spending a lot of time with family over the past two days, but it seems like it's become much more interactive, at least in terms of really getting through challenges so that makes me happy to see if going back to its roots, so to speak. I really enjoy the trained monkey as...

I think the problem with tech test money raising is that they already do 144 hours the following week so they probably aren't keen on extra Desert Bus.

How about dropping challenges entirely? It's clear now that Desert Bus has changed from its origins where it was people doing stupid things for charity with a few call-ins and a few auctions. Now it's primarily about the interviews, auctions-for-the-wealthy and giveaways. "Desert Bus 5" is...

Let me ask a question, since this is my first Desert Bus: What are examples of challenges that are, perhaps, a little overdone? I've seen, for instance, about eleventy billion videos of people dancing to Caramelldansen, and that seems like it's sort of an in joke that I don't entirely get, but what...
