And yet you keep giving money to EA for their shovelware? I suppose sports games are pretty much the only thing EA hasn't run into the ground. Except Sim City, but that'll probably happen soon. Maybe they will have Madden 13 for the NES (yay), but it will be a reskin of Tecmo Bowl (boo). Oh, and the PS3 sucks. The only "modern" console I have is a Wii, which is what, on par with a PS2, but has much better games than PS3, a computer, and a PS2. And a GBA. And, uh, a famiclone. It was at least manufactured recently!

Boo, my fiance started playing WoW again. Now I am Diabloless, looks like I'll have to buy my own account and start from scratch. Bye bye Paragon level 13.

I picked up gw2 as well. I've been having a lot of fun with it, but I think I'm going to reroll. I picked an elementalist to start, and I wish that less of their flexibility was tied to weapons since you can't change them during combat. I like the variety of spells, but there a lot of weak ones, and then some that are similar to each other. I've read other classes okay a bit differently, though.

you should be able to call customer service and split the account (maybe even do it online some how?). You just have to put both accounts in the same name and don't mention the account was shared or anything.

Ah I couldn't wait, I started my own account anyway, I'm back up to 31 and now we can play co-op which was a plus I didn't really think about before.

I'm here for a moment, and while I'm here I'll touch on what I'm doing gaming wise..I've yet to find a game this year I consider worthy of purchase. Yeah, I bought Diablo 3, and I played it to level 55. Do I consider those hours worth the $60 I spent? No. There hasn't been another game released this year, or announced for release this year, that I bought or plan to buy. I'm still waiting on another open-world RPG and I still haven't finished my Fallout: New Vegas DLC on my first playthrough with the DLC (which is actually my third playthrough, because I legitimately find all the possible storylines in that game interesting as heck). I've played a lot of League of Legends recently, and have been applying to work for Riot and a couple other e-sports companies. I realized at some point that I've been following e-sports for over 2 1/2 years and maybe it's something I should incorporate into my life more. Anyway, rayrag's little bro enjoys LoL, so I have someone to play with on a regular basis. Junichi asked me for help getting back into RuneScape, and I have an account with three maxed-out skills. I swore, after I left 14 months ago, that I would never come back, but here I am. Jagex added a bigger variety of "stuff you should probably do" in this 14 months than they did in the 3 years between losing my account the first time and getting it back to help Alicia's little brother. You can add me under the name Rauen. I went through my records and discovered I've bought 5 indie bundles which I haven't even downloaded the games for, and another 3 for which I haven't played any of the games. Since I'm so involved with e-sports, I decided to start streaming on a regular basis, with an eye toward playing those games that I've been missing. My stream is twitch.tv/tranderas and I encourage you to come check it out. Due to the work schedules of my friends, Wednesdays and Friday nights are a good bet to catch me; I always post on twitter when I'm going to stream. When I have better internet, I'll expand the games streamed to include League of Legends and other online games I play. I got into the Planetside 2 beta having not played Planetside, and the NDA is lifted so I can tell you about it. It's fun as heck, I can't remember an experience in FPS gaming that was more fun than getting together 20 or so people and raiding a heavily-defended fortress, then fighting off the counter-attack, since the days of Goldeneye and Perfect Dark. It's in beta, with a release date estimated at 8 or so month from now, so there are bugs. It's a lot of fun through, and if you can get a key I encourage you to try it. It's going to go on the freemium model when it releases, offering earlier access to weapons and skins if you pay. Other than that, I've been playing misc xbox games like GTA 4 (still haven't finished it, heh), multiplayer online games such as Smite and Tribes: Ascend, and the occasional Smash Bros Melee with rayrag and thror when they visit. __________________ <Malroth> saito is the guy who made trand retroactively right about merfolk =( ---- <@BrassMan> I dont care about what you get for yourself, I want you to get things that make my life better ---- <Nephtys> environmentalism is just irl trolling

So, I forgot about this game but was really interested when it was in development: Spore.Is it any good, a lot of people were talking about it before it was released and then it seemed like there was no big fanfair about it once it was.

I had to blink to make sure I was reading that correctly....I think you might be in the minority there, bud. The Wii is lucky if it has 10 games in it's entire library that are must haves. Just face facts, Nintendo hasn't had a good game library since the days of SNES. Even N64 you could count the must haves on both hands....Star Fox, Pilot Wings, SM64, Ocarina of Time, Rouge Squadron, Perfect Dark and of course Goldeneye....then a bunch of POOP. The Game Cube and Wii suffered the same fate.

Hmm, I'm the other way around. Nintendo has been the only consoles I have purchased from the last few generations. Xbox 360 & PS3 are just watered down PC's in my view, all the titles that excite me on those consoles exist on PC, there might be one or two games that I wanted to play that didn't end up being released on PC but not worth buying a system for. Nintendo on the other hand still makes games that you can play with other people in your living room and have fun. Yeah, most Wii and Gamecube titles sucked because at least 1/2 the games are designed for kids 8 and under but the few exceptional titles are all you need for hundreds of hours of gameplay.Action style third person games don't really tickle my fancy anymore which is probably why the Xbox and PS3 really didn't grab me as anything special as those style games seemed to be their bread and butter.

Yea....if you don't like those types of games then Xbox360 and the PS3 aren't what you are looking for. See, I'm the other way around...Uncharted 2 and 3, Metal Gear Solid 4, Resident Evil 5(6 soon coming), keep me fully involved with my PS3. Others too...like Infamous, Prototype, GTA Series, God of War Series....I enjoy them all. Not to mention some ofthe best fighting games ever recently like Marvel Vs. CC 3, and Tekken vs. Street Fighter.

Last Story and Xenoblade chronicles may be MUST BUY on wii, but these are the only titles that come to mind. I already bought Xenoblade (even though I don't own WII). I thought I could run them on a simulator with my PC. Turned out that you need a special DVD reader that is no longer available. So I guess I'll have to buy a wii, or just pirate it -.- (But I'm keeping the real copy of the game. Maybe it will be worth something someday )

Found 5 legendary items in 2 days (3 crap though), a few 5 - 20 mil items, and made some money by flipping items on AH. I believe my current barb is probably better than the one I had before I cashed out.__________________ MOTL Fantasy NBA 2010 ChampionLife is hard; it's harder if you're stupid. John Wayne

Damn, I havn't found anything since starting over, of course I'm only at level 52 at the moment. I purchased the game well over a week ago and I STILL can't use the Auction House... it says payment might take 72 hours to verify but this is rediculous.

Add me on D3, and I can keep an eye out for stuff that fits your level & character, or rush you to inferno. Btw, did you activate the authenticator? You might need that to get the AH working.

Hmm, by authenticator are you talking about the little digikey Blizzard authenticator that spits out a 6 digit code? My GF has one for her account but I never got one...

Yes, that is the one. If you have an iPhone, you can download the authenticator app for free, and that is pretty much what I did to get the AH to work. I am not sure if this is still true, but I believe you might have to pay a small download/app fee if you are using Android. __________________ MOTL Fantasy NBA 2010 ChampionLife is hard; it's harder if you're stupid.

He should still be able to use the gold auction house, just not the RMAH. Contact blizzard customer support and ask them what's up. __________________ "He fights you not because you have wronged him, but because you are there."[16:17] <@BrassMan> what do you need new tech for?

Borderlands 2 is coming out soonIf anyone has Golden Key from Pre-ordering, I suggest you don't use it right away, you can only use it once so use in higher level so that you can get a more powerful item

"You will get a rare quality (Purple) item scaled to your level. You need to think WISELY if it is better to use the key at lower levels or higher levels. If you use it at the beginning of the game, you will get a powerful item that will give you a good advantage but won't last long. Or you could use it at a higher level, to get a more powerful items. So think carefully about when to use your Gold Keys."-This is a quote from some random site.
