  1. Re:So I was playing GW2 during launch and... on Diablo III Released · · Score: 1

    I will be buying GW2 the day it launches. Same with Torchlight 2. I will not be purchasing D3 in the foreseeable future. Id rather give my money to companies that aren't trying to screw over its user base and are actually trying to make great games that people want to play with as few problems as possible.

    "Was"? Try still is.

  3. Re:Why, oh why... on Avira Premium Anti-Virus Bug Disables Windows Machines · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Yep, exactly why I refuse to purchase D3. If they release a patch down the line that doesn't require me to be online with their servers just to play single player, then I will buy it.

    Not really. My coworker took this week off for D3. After it went live this morning he still cant get in as the game wont actually launch. Apparently others are having the same issue as well. Ahh Blizzard, I don't miss you in the slightest.

  5. Re:Useless anyway on Mozilla Leaves Out Linux For Initial Web App Support · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Welcome to to the tablet/smartphone age, where everything is an app. Apps on your tablet, apps on your phone, apps on your desktop, apps on your laptop. "Software" is no more, "apps" are the future...or something like that. I despise this market shift of the last four or five years of everything needs to be mobilized as an app so no matter if you are on a tablet, smartphone or laptop/desktop everything is an app.

    Apps have a place, I guess, on phones and tablets. Keep that crap off of my machines that I actually use for productivity(laptop/desktop).

    XBL is only required for online play or for using online applications. Its not needed for just playing games off of disk.

    The 4 gig 360S model has a built-in adapter.

    I have all my Warcraft cd's still. The only downside to Warcraft 1 was having to build everything next to roads, I hated that.

    Seriously?

    Center of the page under Getting Started, the first link is "obtain a copy".

    I still play Privateer often in DOSBox. I don't know why, I just enjoy it immensely. I have all the WC games in my collection, they still are some of my favorites.

  16. Re:The "Tick, Tock" cycle of design on Can Microsoft Afford To Lose With Windows 8? · · Score: 1

    I still have a Windows ME box that I use for playing all my Windows 9x games on. The machine has been rock solid. As long as Windows ME drivers are used for device drivers, the OS is stable.
