Because it's not a glamour shot...it's what you see when you click system info.

Nothing glamorous about me tooting along and trying to game on my Mac. I'll still give this one a try and see if it pulls me in...

 

[rybrad]

Mac user... posts glamour shot of their macbook.

It's like girls who always need to get their faces and breasts in a shot.

Seems like you should be able to run it on medium.

I like those girls...

 

[thunker 9000]

So does it unlock at 12:00 PST or EST?

Tell me its EST.

 

[injurai]

You have issues.

Because it's not a glamour shot...it's what you see when you click system info.

I was being facetious.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Anyone else miss those huge ass PC game boxes? Fuck I loved those days, and you would get awesome foldout art and crazy good manuals that aren't useless.

$60 should be a semi-collector's edition that gets you all that shit, minus the gigantic useless Diablo head or whatever.

 

[Kalnos]

I could post as much as Yoshi does at my job, but he's insane.

I'm sorry, it's PST.

It's PST. Midnight for me

 

[MrCompletely]

So does it unlock at 12:00 PST or EST?

Tell me its EST.

unfortunately its PST, so us Eastcoasters are basically the last/latest to go live at 3am local time. I might try to wake up early, like 5 or 6am to get an hour or two in before I have to start the day.

Blizzard hates the East Cost confirmed

 

[Tobe]

I wonder what yoshi's job is.....?

collect yoshi's and play diablo?

 

[TouchMyBox]

What is up with this? I don't know why it's downloading so poorly, and that's an understatement. It's uploading faster than it's downloading. I got about 182 hours left right now on the downloader and it's pissing me off.

Help please.

Turn off the bittorrent downloading.

Blizzard's downloader likes to eat all your upload bandwidth if you do the default bittorrent downloading, hence destroying your download speeds.

Also if you're with stalin ISP, they'll throttle your bittorrent traffic.

 

[kyubajin]

Alright, managed to beat the SK with my WD main only to face the sad truth that I need to upgrade my license... Will do when the bloody CE arrives on Friday.

 

[Haunted]

viral marketer

 

[JimmyBoy]

Probably not as reviewers wouldnt be able to play until tomorrow/tonight just like us. You will have to wait a while I assume

Wow. That's pretty rare these days for AAA games, I think. alright then, us workers will hit f5 and Bitch about work. I'm too scared of spoilers to watch any streams.

 

[arts&crafts]

If i remember correctly, WOTLK went live at 12 est. Or at least I played it after getting back from midnight launch

 

[Rumble19]

Going to grab some energy drinks to get ready I think

 

[Lasthope106]

NOooooooOOOOOO!

Fucking pre-download failed with less than 4% to go. Fuck this shit!

 

[Keyouta]

Turn off bittorrent mode and you'll download from their servers instead.

Nope. It's showing about "44359 hours remaining."

I think I may just torrent it...

 

[ShaneB]

Quality over quantity.

 

[injurai]

Ya, but he really did carry this thread on his back.

 

[Johnny2Bags]

so i get home from work and now the launcher won't let me in to the game menu!!! i can't watch the cinematic or anything... updating tools stuck at 0 percent... or updating blizzard launcher stuck... or initializing launcher... stuck!!!

i'm totally panicing right now

 

[ThatStupidLion]

Quality over quantity.

good point.

granted the more you post the more of a chance you can be struck with the ban hammer.

the world is a scary place!

 

[Sothpaw]

Blizzard games are above AAA.

 

[Zerokku]

Finals week is next week. I have a project due Thursday. Must stay strong.

So glad my finals week was last week. I would have been so fucked.

 

[Lasthope106]

They are AAAA+++

 

[Yaboosh]

That would make entirely too much sense.

 

[mysocksarepink]

just went out to kill 2 hours by seeing a movie

I saw dark shadows.. it's awesome

to top it off... I was given a MASSIVE wall poster of 'Prometheus' while I was there

 

[scy]

Now that HIMYM finale disappointed me, back to the thread~!

...I guess we have no new developments here, huh.

 

[HenryHSH]

I wonder what yoshi's job is.....?

Works for Nintendo.

 

[Kalnos]

I only work till 2-3ish for the next two days. My bosses are on vacation next week and then I get off paid for Memorial Day. Everything is aligning just fine for me.

 

[Zertez]

No time zone goes last, it goes live at 12am PST, 1am MST, 2am CST, 3am EST etc.

Blizzard hates the East Cost confirmed

Considering they are a west coast company it makes sense for them to go live exactly the minute it turns May 15 local time.

 

[Realyn]

lvl 10 1/2 and still kickin!

 

[toastyToast]

Me too, they were boxes worth keeping. Sadly, this isn't one of them; game doesn't even come in a jewel case :lol

The manual is quite nice, however

The Witcher EE and 2 had amazing boxes for standard releases.

 

[Trickster]

So guys, this game is pretty fun so far, you know? ^_^

 

[Thoraxes]

So glad my finals week was last week. I would have been so fucked.

So glad I had no finals and classes ended in April.

 

[Ketch]

I don't understand why this is happening. Digital downloads should not be affected by timezones.

 

[arts&crafts]

I was wikipediaing blizzard to pass the time, and they got bought for almost 19 BILLION dollhairs! I mean they do make, what, maybe about 2billion a year just off subs for wow. They have to be the most money -> product ratio in the business. Starcraft, warcraft, diablo, lost vikings!

 

[Alucrid]

Oh, it's PDT

fuuuuuck

 

[Realyn]

oh your right. 2 broke girls ended last week right? Came two and a half men today?

 

[injurai]

Might just have something to do with rolling out the servers. Blizzard has so many people that can be involved in handling those servers.

I know Valve has a higher revanue per employee than Apple, and that is really saying something. Their ratio might be even higher than blizzards, but i'm not sure.

 

[Haunted]

I like those girls...

but, its local time for them.....

 

[Snapshot King]

So I'm a canuck, and trying to log on to the other servers aside from the americas is telling me that there's no diablo 3 license attached to my account, while trying to log into the americas just tells me the servers are down for now. This normal?

SCORE, nice one bro.

I hate that I have a final tomorrow at 10 AM

yep...3am eastern 12am pacific for us, region is locked to your battle net account.

Yes.

 

[Slayer-33]

OMFG I CAN'T WAIT ANYMORE SOMEONE INJECT THIS INTO MY VEINS PLEASE.

 

[Lasthope106]

To those of you who are student and have finals in the next few days, I have the following to say to you: forget about Diablo 3, and go focus on your studies. You have a lifetime to play the game, but only a few days to determine your future. Trust me, it's not fun to fail a fucking test because of a video game, especially if you go to an expensive school, and/or are taking loans to pay for it.
