the only thing I hate more than always online drm is comcast
coincidentally, probably the only reason I really hate always online drm
That's gotta be a record.
but then I reread the second one and realized they weren't actually the same joke. I still like that comic though. It makes me think of Knob and/or JohnnyCache.
Good comic though.
Huh, somethign new ever day.
Yeah, that's my main issue. Getting booted from my game because my cat tripped over the router or something may be a minor inconvenience, but it's an inconvenience nonetheless. I like to have as few of those as possible.
Problem solved.
Satans..... hints.....
Shit breaks here and then you just have to sit and wait.
And all the locals are on local time and you're fucked if you want the problem solved in the next half hour.
Possibly! Like this one:

I hope the newspost is a bit more even-handed
"Yeah it sucks but it's Blizzard so we'll take it"
Lives hang in the balance.
I thought that they were as only important as my own.
Which is not very.

Whenever I have had issues, it's never been something that they've been able to fix because it's always been a temporary problem and by the time they can do diagnostics, the problem has gone away. Fortunately, I haven't had a lot of issues where I live now.
I still have Diablo 1 and 2 and never played either.
I've had it die for a few hours. But yeah, if it's an actual problem that can't be fixed I have to wait days. But to even get someone on the phone usually takes 30-60 minutes.
The complete removal of a single player off-line option for what has historically been a multiplayer focused game (Battle.net launched with Diablo!) is something else entirely, whatever your thoughts might be on how justified it is.
huh, why not?
So, it's not about hackers logging into Bnet. It's about keeping people from circumventing the marketplace by playing offline in an unregulated manner. Well that fucking sucks.
I guess I sort of assumed they were going to do the same thing they did with SC2.
my laptop which I take with me when I travel
and when I travel I don't take my house and my wireless network with me
I couldn't play any video games at AusPAX because we had no internet and I couldn't log onto steam. Seriously that is shitty. I own games and I want to be able to play them.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
Plus dom's phone was spewing out wifi the entire time. I logged onto tinychat one time at auspax raging drunk.
Satans..... hints.....
I do it all the time.
Does he know that people actually have to find it and sell it before he can buy it?
Does he know he doesn't have to buy it?
Does he know that he can put forth this video game effort and find the best gear, then sell it?
Yeah, he just thinks there's going to be a bunch of rich guys ruining PvP for everyone
edit: that's a dumb thing to think
there's a thing worth caring about
Exactly. It's about not having to worry about people selling duped or hacked items on their marketplace. I think they should come up with some sort of hybrid system. Don't want to/can't connect to the internet? Your single player character will stay on your computer and you will be unable to play online with that character or sell items on the marketplace, BUT you will be able to play single player. Want to play online and/or sell items? Connect and make an "online" character.
