Yesterday i wandered by my local HMV to see they are still taking preorders for CE. Grabbed one, cancelled my Amazon one since the release day shipping made it more expensive than HMV, and now I learned they're doing a midnight (well, 11pm, midnight central europe) launch! Yay! Love midnight game releases!

The small details have been focused in on for this game more than any other game I have seen launch, Portal 2 comes close with the whole ARG.

There are too many mouth breathers on the internet to make it worthwhile for me. The better your headphone speakers, the worse it is.

I think for things like GAF games, it's perfect. You don't have to worry that someone doesn't have your skype name or whatever. They just find your name in the mumble list, join your room, and everything is hunky dory.

I wasn't expecting how incredibly awesome that sounded.
You have to reinstall mumble every so often. Something about the certificates expiring or...something....
Two minutes to reinstall and it's fixed.
I was only 8 when D2 first came out. I still played it.
I was maybe 11 or so. I remember going with my mother to Babbages (I think; May have been EB Games) and her giving me a death stare when I told her what she was buying me. There was a store full of other people buying the same thing though, so she couldn't really bust out the whole "That sounds Satanic. What am I buying this for? What kind of evil, child corrupting garbage is it now?" spiel.
For SC2, I kept PTT off. Honestly, wasn't so bad outside of the mechanical in the background.
MMO Raiding, though, PTT all day. Though, hearing things in the background was always good stuff.

Neat, still doesn't solve the awful crackling sound my mic has been making. might need to run out to microcenter and get one.

And you're a cooler person for it.
Yeah I was only 11 years old... it feels like yesterday :3
You dicks are making me feel old.

The diablo II expansion was one of the first games i remember preordering as wee youngster.

Adjust your mic volume in windows settings (if you're on Windows). Turning it down may attenuate the crackle.

Completely agree. I really hope Diablo III gets a gnarly boxed expansion.
Yeah I have my mic boosted by 30 dB, but you can't hear it at all otherwise. Not sure what to do.

There are totally two listings for Diablo III on Walmart.com and each has a different description. Both are equally bad. The one has been posted numerous times, but this one hasn't:

Do I have to go to Dairy Queen to buy a Diablo III Blizzard? I want a Diablo III Blizzard....

This is what happens when you're asked to write descriptions for video games you've never played or heard of.
Microcenter has D3 for $50 if anyone has a MC near them. According to slickdeals anyway.
That...definitely explains the crackle. So other people can't hear you when you talk if it's not boosted that high?

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
If it's like Diablo 2, you'll be able to socket helm, weapon, shield, and chest.This thread moves too fast, I played Diablo when I was elementary school
I'm curious on sockets, how many you can have, and on what pieces you can have them in? Anyone?
Oh god, can't they invest in hiring some random punk ass middle schooler looking for pocket change to write up a description that actually makes sense. Come on Walmart, try harder...
Correct
True. Somewhere in the middle, I guess.

I remember getting the Diablo 2 CE ordered at EB, but the day it came out, I was still studying abroad in London. The day I returned, my parents picked me up from the airport, and surprised me with the game.

Battletag list updated. I think I only had to make a few changes though between now and ~1000 posts ago. So if you posted between now and then, check to see if I missed you - I was scrolling through pages quick just scanning for info.

Same here but I can't remember for the life of me what I used to play back then.

I remember that I played almost exclusively on N64, D2 was actually the game that got me into PC gaming.
thetrin

Did you ever go back and play D1 and D2 on PC?
I thought the same thing but I gave it another go when Diablo II was released and haven't looked back since.
