any of ye geeks get diablo 3 and fancy teaming up : )?

Never played it, nearly always a console gamer apart from the odd RTS/Sim. Mainly because I've always had a work laptop and I feared upgraditis.

Do have a small form factor desktop, any idea of what card it would need to run? I can only get half hight in...

i see sonic 4 spisode 2 just came out, 1200 xbox live points though...bit steep.
any one play episode 1?
it wasnt too bad, good nod at the classic sonic apart from the stupid homing attacks making it too easy to kill enemies

[oeb]

It's a pity we missed each other Chad, I was living in Douglas till September, and we used to have weekly board gaming nights in Shamrock Park.

i've made a terrible mistake... i used one of the free codes that came with the diablo III copy i got my brother and IT IS AMAZING.. i can play to level 10 and defeat the skeleton king.. i cant get over how good it is. i did get a bit of lag in a public multiplayer game but thats just the servers being mental since launch!! cant wait to buy the full game. 2 weeks and it shall be mine.!! (if i can hold out)

what rts games do you play?

I am playing D3 at the moment as well and I LOVE it, it's so good!

Also, if you haven't been to a barcraft (and you're even remotely interested in starcraft), you should totally try it. Here's a link for the Cork barcrafting peoples.

Was thinking about this while taken to my sick bed (cough, cough) and I've realised that I'm pretty old skool in my play list, missed a whole generation of RTS when numpty on the team spec'ing the new systems left the graphics card as on board. Now I know Intel where paying for them but that was a step too far and now most stuff is MMO, I'm a campaign kinda guy...

When I did get a go on stuff like supreme commander, it was way too much about the clicks per minute and didn't suit my turtle tendencies...

Long story longer, anything westwood(Generals prob my fav), the warcrafts (See, oldskool!), never did startcraft (I've a copy in the desk though), loved, loved, loved the Homeworld series, TA of course. The more Civ stuff like settlers and AoE never really grabbed me.

It is interesting (to me) how much that genre has stalled the last few years.
