    From The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: "Space," it says, "is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space, listen..."

    If your competitor can slow you down by destroying your work, passwords and encryption will not protect you. Of course if your competitor does that, he must be really stupid because you have off-site backups of everything right?

    The Diablo 3 interface is not the same as World of Warcraft and the play field itself is fixed in an annoying isometric view. It's fine and preferred for Starcraft but for Diablo it's kind of pointless.

  25. Re:Fully 3D Diablo? on Ask Author David Craddock About the Development of Diablo, Warcraft · · Score: 1

    Maybe he wants World of Diablo, a game with the WoW interface and a Diablo storyline.
