I can't say I've ever been excited about a game release. Well that isn't entirely true. The last game that excited me (actually the only game series that excited me) was Metal Gear Solid releases. Though I'm not overly excited about MGSRising. Outside of that too many games have lost the enjoyment factor for me because of how much some games just feel like clones . I hope Diablo III breaks this rut for me, but don't know when I'll actually buy it.

well, left4dead 2 stopped working yesterday for no apparent reason. I've almost given up on steam and pc games. I think I actually prefer the xbox minecraft than the pc, the terreria/minecraft crafting/inventory is really good and the lack of mods focuses you on playing the game not pissing around with mods that make you fly and have guns.

Playing Call of Duty on Xbox is pain in the balls with all those "migrating from host" messages when you're a bout to blow somebody head off... I think we shouldn't blame the platform, but the game.

Being playing the GW2 beta stress test. Now I've started playing D3. Am I blind, or there's no way to change the difficulty? Because normal was way too easy, at least in the beta :/

BTW, for now I can only play the starter edition (they seem to give it to people that have participated in the beta, and that includes the public stress test), waiting to the game to arrive to my mail At least I can advance a little while I wait

Was watching some Asian players doing coop, the witch doctor player was dying a lot in Act 3 already at lvl 28. It doesn't seem hard but it definitely kicks your ass if you just spam and don't position strategically with a class like that.

Monk looked as if he was facerolling to me.

I created a ranger to see how it worked (specially, the pet system), but didn't play it much. I went with some friends to WvW and I spent the entire night with my Necro there. I even levelled 2 entire levels there . And we won again .

Indeed there's a noticeable increase in difficulty from the beta (basically, enemies have more hit-points, but I think there are also more of them at certain points). The difficulty is much better now.

Me neither, but you're not missing much really. It's the same content limit(up to the Skeleton King in Act 1).

Under Wine and with an SSD assembling the installation took only a few seconds However I can't login, not sure if it's because of Wine or because the login servers are still overloaded.

Seeing just the login screen, I like how they have a "Fullscreen Window" option, which does just the same as the one in Allegro 5

Yeah, the first time I downloaded it I just closed it thinking it had finished. Then yesterday when I tried to install it, the installer would give an error about not being able to read the DVD (WTF?, what DVD? ). After some googling I found I shouldn't have any file ending in ".part", and that I needed to download it from scratch again .

Quite a few games have that option. It's specially common in MMO's. It has the benefit of fast alt-tabing (something you so frequently in MMO's), but worse performance. I personally don't like it, though, because the game doesn't actually minimize, it remains there in the desktop running.

You can probably get through Diablo 2's normal mode in half of that. (Expansion included)

I don't get it... I'm making my current game to be monitor independent and I'm using the ALLEGRO_FULLSCREEN flag, I can minimize it, and open it again and it's pretty fast, faster than when changing the native resolution of the monitor. But I want to add a ALLEGRO_FULLSCREEN_WINDOW so people can reduce/increase its size on windowed mode too... I don't get the part "I personally don't like it, though, because the game doesn't actually minimize, it remains there in the desktop running." what do you mean?

The game's still playing when it's not in focus. They actually provide you a max FPS slider for when it's on the background tho.
