which would be totally hot. except if it were 3d.

ladder already reset but starting at 6PM pacific still right? i'm running a classic char till then

If you're trying to satirically attack my arguments, there's a big difference between comfort/dexterity and how you perceive the game. I would only see the left perspective, meaning any game whose viewing angle should be perpendicular would appear slightly off. That's not too bad, but... Worse, if you can't disable 3D AND if you only use one eye you still see both images, it would be fairly impossible for a person to play the system myself without massive headaches and constant confusion. The ideal solution would be to present an average perspective between the two with an off mode. ...damn, that must be why there's never any cheetos left

Yeah but Americans are badass by nature. And racist bigots. Only thing Australians have is a cool accent.

I don't think he means the poweracting kind of rushing - I think he means just getting through the areas quickly.

I'm not even missing an eye - i have one of those fun, lazy eyes. And how dare people call my eye "lazy"? It has merely been liberated of my brain's enslavement! ..somewhat. no seriously, this 3D stuff needs to die.

wasn't australia inhabited initially with the dregs of European society?

ugh, fuck 3D technology. It's worse than movie theaters that only do 3D showing of movies. Some people don't have true binocular vision with stereopsis, and albeit we are a small minority, I can't help but feel trampled upon with higher prices for a technology that doesn't matter to me. The only way a person like me (or many birds, for that matter) can appreciate 3D is through something like Johnny Lee's virtual window thing: when you move your head, things on screen move relative to the position of your head. I just hope you can turn it off. Or, though I am not totally familiar with the glasses-free technology but I imagine this isn't the case, if you don't use both eyes, you won't see both images. I guess now I can better empathize with those missing hands, fingers, etc. who wish to game - a controller that uses both hands, etc. And typing has to be brutal.

good times will be had. just don't die - then you'd have to catch up.. :/

I love it. digging the textures, the melodies, the soundscape, the kick, the journey...it's cinematic, dynamic, and so far from anemic.

i'm impressed by how many single player freakin monks, I mean, masters (), this thread is attracting. Personally, i would not have played for ~8 years if it weren't for online play... but to each his own, and there's always the present to start the social online play sweet, glad to see there's a barb or two willing to step up.

be careful with penetrate.. it's supposed to give you more AR but I believe there are issues with it. we'd probably want a barb. hopefully someone picks up that responsibility.. if not, I could.

oh and my account is *soulinether

this is cool.. and done in pretty breakneck speed to boot.

As I mentioned in the other thread, I'm willing to run any sorc build or hdin, but if there are other people who want those builds I can do trapsin or really anything else needed.

Gario: excellent - make sure to indicate the classes we have so far and the people behind them. Obsidious: barbs are another gear-dependent class, but you'll be able to get by a lot better than with a bowazon. Now that there is no more iron maiden to worry about, you can whirlwind anything, anywhere (just be careful of those stygian dolls and corpse explode uniques while amped) and whirlwind is now pretty cheap mana-wise (half as expensive) so mana potions won't be too intensely quaffed until you get decent mana leech and damage. Plus, your battle orders will be immensely useful to the whole party, and as long as you don't start putting into a specific weapon mastery from the get-go, we'd probably let you use any good weapon we find - whether it be sword, mace, axe, pole or spear.

nighttime is usually the best time but i have this aching feeling i'll be doing the tp/brb thing a few times.. which sucks. how long are we going to be playing for as a team? can we play without the group (particularly to catch up)? Are there even any people interested in playing on the East Coast/Europe? I also think once we get started, we should create a new thread dedicated to discussing progress and such. Obsidious, even with the new boosts to fire skills, a bowazon is not a very accessible build to make. The build highly depends upon a strong bow/crossbow (usually a unique like a buriza, windforce, etc, though there are some runeword bows that should also do the trick). If we do have a necro (gario) who should be dropping amp(lify damage) and if there's a paladin in the group as well (for concentration), you might be able to get by. Immolation and Exploding Arrow don't have enough damage to really get you by, but ... maybe if combined with the damage of everyone else (and maybe conviction later if you can afford to put an Infinity polearm on an A2 merc, along with a lot of +skills), you might be able to do ok fire damage. I am imagining we'll have less than 8 people playing, so what's the party like now? A fishymancer/skellymancer and a bowazon? I can run pretty much anything... sorc, trapsin, hdin are my preferences though. For the sake of quickness, maybe a sorc or a hdin would be best - though there's nothing wrong with worldstone keep running, lol. Maybe we should make a new thread, since there's only 24 hours and nobody is really responding to this really aged thread.

happy birthday. here's to another year of you choosing someone else other than me for some random, forgettable form of assistance with something related to writing.

I've almost always played HC, but after picking it up again recently I decided to play more casually on SC. So that kind of thinking might be common with other people..? oh who am i kidding. nobody thinks like me.

I'd do you hardcore, and all ni-- but I'm ok with either. I imagine softcore would be the more popular choice, though..

yeah well i don't love you anymore :'( haha. no. i just threw an idea out there to act as a point of nucleation around which his creative juices could form new ideas.

by scaling i meant resizing the window.. just tested it with the latest patch and it doesn't seem possible. edit: just realized the issue was with D2 stretching to fill a widescreen monitor... never mind then.

windowed mode has existed for a long time - the question is if you can scale it or not.

happy birthday, ole!

i might be able to have another go. i've gotten pretty good at playing with a trackpad as of late.
