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...

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: 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.

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...

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 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...

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...
