    It's the only way to be sure you get all the bacteria.

    But no, probably instead what I will gargle is salt water.

    I actually have sick days for once.

    I don't really want to use them, though.

    I should go to bed so I can get more sleep.


    Instead I think I will play Assassin's Creed.

    So uh

    http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2012/01/diablo-3-is-coming-to-consoles.ars?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss
    A console version of the much-anticipated Diablo 3 has been rumored for quite some time, due in no small part to developer Blizzard admitting back in September that it was experimenting with a console version of the game. Now, according to a tweet from a Blizzard community manager, it looks like Diablo 3 on consoles is all but confirmed.

    In response to an inquiry from a fan via Twitter, which asked simply "can you confirm or deny Diablo 3 coming to consoles?" community manager "Bashiok" responded "Yup. Josh Mosqueira is lead designer for the Diablo console project." More specific details have yet to be announced.

    According to his LinkedIn profile, Mosqueira has been working as a lead game designer at Blizzard since last May, and prior to that worked on the unreleased Far Cry 3 at Ubisoft and served as a lead designer on games like Company of Heroes and Homeworld 2 at Relic. When Blizzard first revealed that it was looking at bringing the role playing game to consoles, director Jay Wilson said that the game actually felt better in some ways with a controller, as opposed to a mouse and keyboard.

    "One of the reasons why we're exploring the idea of a console version of Diablo 3 is because we feel that the controls and the style of the game lend itself to a console," he said. "With some of our early experiments in putting a direct control scheme into the game via a 360-like analogue controller, I've [thought] 'Oh this feels even better, with direct control...'"

    I mean, we've known they have been working on a console version for some time. It's just a question of if 'working on it' eventually leads to a release. Blizzard isn't afraid to scrap games they don't like.

  • TheStigTheStig Registered User regular
    yeah, they have been showing off their lead designer for months

    Hey @sarukun and @neville , are there still beta invites going out or have you guys finally run out? Thanks!

    Yes, there are still many severals of betas up for grabs: the sooner you send an E-mail to diablusmiracles@gmail.com with your battle.net account E-mail, the sooner I can get you on the list so you can be in the next wave of invites.

    I sent mine on Dec 19th.

    Patience is a virtue.

    I wasn't (hopefully) implying impatience. I was just restating that I sent it in already, as I (hopefully incorrectly) inferred I was not already on the list.

    You may rest assured that you are on the list.

    It's okay, I know how frustrating it can be to try and be satisfied with dumpy ol' World of Warcraft while all the cool kids are playing the new hotness: when I first started at Blizzard they trained me up for Wrath of the Lich King stuff but all I wanted to do was get in there and test me some StarCrafts.

    It's coming.

    Cool, thanks.

    PA Diablo 3 Release date pool!!

    Rules: Each participant will private message me their pick for the date Diablo 3 will be released(Eastern Standard Time), AS WELL AS their pick for what date Blizzard will ANNOUNCE the release date, as a tie breaker. Dates are on a first come first serve basis. Your entry can't have the same announce and release date as another participant. One or the other is allowed. The dates I have chosen are an exception since I can't win the prize. The release date is the actual day of release in case the date is pushed back from their initial announced release day. The announcement is for the day they announce the release date, even if that release date is not met. Contestants can change their picks up until the registration end date*. Contestants must also have been signed up for the forums before the start date of the contest.
    *Please use same private conversation, it's easier on me.

    Registration End Date: Sunday January 15th 11 PM EST

    Contest End Date: 3 weeks before the announced release date, or the day of the announcement of the release date(if shorter than 3 weeks). This is in case the release date is pushed back.

    Prizes:
    Closest Release Date Prediction: Steel Series Diablo 3 Gaming Mouse* Courtesy of That Dave Fella!
    Something awesome and maybe also signed. Courtesy of Neville and Sarukun!
    2nd Closest Release Date Prediction*²: Torchlight on steam!
    * If in stock
    *² Or release date predictor with the second closest announce date prediction in case of release date prediction tie

    Hmm, I guess I'll make mine a 2nd place predictor prize. Since I have been outclassed! And I guess I'll push the registration end date to sunday.

    You blizz bros can throw me your predictions too, if it's not against a rule or frowned upon. You'll be exempt from the prize along with me of course, but it'd be interesting to see if your predictions skew the rest.

    What happens if we get a release date by Saturday? :-P

    "Whelp, you're all bitches, and now we have 85 winning entries..."

    Oooh, now I know what to change my release date guess to!

    Alternatively, yesterday, even if it'd potentially disqualify me. Gotta go meta once in a while.

    So maybe I will be lynched for this, but I've never played Diablo 2

    I just got the Battle Chest today, hey did you guys know this is pretty good

    A couple nagging things because of how much Torchlight I've played

    Can I toggle the item names on instead of having to hold the Alt key down all the time, and can I throw the automap into the corner of my screen?

    you can move the automap by making it smaller

    and type /nopickup so's you dont accidentally pick up random scrolls/pots/arrows

    you do need to hold alt to see loot though

    beasteh I am disappointed in you because you forgot to mention the most important thing

    once you beat the game install Median XL and bask in the glory of the best dungeon crawler that you can play unless you have the Diablo 3 beta.

  • BeastehBeasteh THAT WOULD NOT KILL DRACULARegistered User regular
    well yeah obv

    ps. median xl just updated to its 'final' patch and it is amazing

    holy caster pallies are actually a thing now

    Hoo, balls. Maybe it's cuz it's not fully downloaded yet, but this game plays like poop on my comp.

    Music skipping, menus taking forever to fully load.

    Hope it's not my comp.
