    Man Blizzard used to be the only corporation who I thought were really made up of 'nerds like me!' and I trusted them 100% and bought their shit religiously

    RealID really destroyed that, I don't boycott them but I view them on a fundamentally different level now.

    Why is Blizzard doing a movie that isn't in CGI again? Like honestly I don't understand the reasoning there at all.

    because that costs millions of dollars more than a five minute cut scene

    here's what you do: make an in-game mount or pet that you get with a movie ticket.

    BAM everything's paid for

    what's really horrible is you are probably right

    Cass if I were Blizzard I would hire you on the spot.

    I wasn't a big fan of Diablo 2, but most of that shouldn't be blamed on the game. I got it in the early 2000s, probably when I was still a pre-teen. At the time, my dad had a firewall set up that prevented me from playing games, and I didn't have the tech know-how at the time to get around it. He refused to take it down, since he figured playing online games (yes, even major retail ones) would give me tons and tons of viruses. So I got to play through it all solo. My first try was a Necromancer. I hear they're not the best for solo as is, unless you really know what you're doing, but combine that with a 12 year old's complete lack of strategic sense. My strategy was generally "attack senselessly, and then try to place a town portal before I die so I can immediately get back to where I was." I didn't get very far in that playthrough, but the first couple of bosses involved doing that strategy dozens of times before they died.

    My dad used to print out EULA's of games and request that I read them before installing them.

    They're still unexplored, btw.

    -dk and i running back and forth since we live close to one another... and being civil externally despite the fact that we're both planning pranks for the other
    -syndalis, winky, and abdhyius constantly jerking their dicks about the mountains they live near
    -daxon rambling on and on about some temple he's constructing
    -everyone building subways

    i've tried a few different minecraft servers over the past year

    most of em PA, but some of em not

    and a problem i keep finding is that people are so used to single-player where you are in trackless wilderness and build a castle out of nothing but hard work

    they got online and are like "okay, now i am going to fuck off to the remotest region and start there and build myself a little wooden cottage and improve upon my works as i do in single-player"

    and it's like

    no

    stop

    wait a second

    you are playing a multiplayer server, why not play with others?

    build a community

    organize yourselves, start with a village for all of you and improve upon it naturally

    the SE++ server has tried that the last couple times but what has happened is the mods decide to make strict building codes and aesthetic styles at the "spawn town" and people who don't want to play ball with that end up fucking off to ass-nowhere to build what they want

    like for example, the most current iteration of the SE++ server has the starting city of "Ispawnbul" (not Conspawntinobel), which is a desert city built mostly out of sandstone that has incredibly strict requirements like you can't use glass for windows and instead have to use slitted windows made of fenceposts

    so what ends up happening is people log on, go "fuck that" and piss off to some forest somewhere and build a shitty looking tower out of cobblestone no different than they do in single-player

    it's tiresome!

    i want to play multiplayer, not single-player where i can see other people's shit like a viewing gallery

    Obviously everyone is invited to join. The rules are don't be a dick. More specifically:

    Don't steal.
    If you break someone's stuff, fix it as best you can. This counts creeper attacks.
    Survey land before building or talk to your prospective neighbors if they are around.
    If you break into someone else's mine, either wall it off or establish a door and put up a sign.
    For the love of god don't steal especially pieces of rail and torches from my ever-growing rail network.

    Okay, I'm going to stop you right now Pony.

    Because our server is pretty exclusively people going off into the wilderness and building shitty towers out of cobble.

    the best part about minecraft multiplayer was making long treks out into the wilderness with loads of valuable materials, finding safehouses for the night and running from creepers in the day

    i find it hilarious that RealID was the point you realized Blizzard is a soul-less megacorp

    like that it didn't happen before

    it took RealID

    We sort of have an ad-hoc network. There is a cluster of people building near spawn connected by roads, some people in far-flung places, lots of transit. Some people play in smaller groups of 3 or 4 and cooperate on stuff, some build off on their own. There's no structure really enforced.
