@agent86 Do the right thing.

FAE

Haha

RESPAWN

@agent86 Quit your job.

FAE

As I'm not playing D3, there's nothing really on my plate gaming wise for a while

OrigamiRobot

@FAE It makes me sad when you say such things.

FAE

Which means I can hopefully get through some of my backlog

agent86

7:02 PM

@RESPAWN hah. I'm just glad that I've got some games I can play while the kids are awake. R&C is E10, and my eldest finds it fun to watch, so I can work two games into a given day

FAE

@OrigamiRobot We had our fun in beta!

agent86

@FAE LA Noire

FAE

@agent86 Summer saaaale

well actually

agent86

@FAE I can't remember if you explained your reasoning for not wanting to play it after launch or not...

FAE

Hm, not sure which platform I should get it on or not

OrigamiRobot

7:03 PM

@FAE It wasn't enough fun

agent86

@FAE this is a good plan, but you should keep it in mind.

Oak

I'm bummed out by the fact Diablo 3 looks like it will come out in vicinity to Civ 5 expansion

What am I supposed to do?

RESPAWN

@agent86 God, I hate the Steam summer sale...

agent86

@FAE I played the xbox edition and bought the "rockstar pass" but I think it probably boils down to how you like your GTA-style games and your achievements

Oak

I can't pull two all-nighters in the same day

FAE

7:04 PM

@agent86 Time mostly, and at the time, I wanted to wait to hear reviews and such.

agent86

@Oak it's may 15th for diablo, and I think june 16th for Civ5

RESPAWN

My wallet just gets pummeled from all of the games that I buy (and then never play).

John

@Oak Simple, pull one through the night, like most all-nighters, and do the next through the following day.

James

The word Your makes it subjective? LOL

Oak

@agent86 oh I didn't know they had a date for civ. good to hear

James

7:05 PM

@Ullallulloo Well thanks for the info :)

John

@James According to the word filter, yes.

FAE

@agent86 Hrm, that's true. It does look very pretty so I'm kind of tempted to get it for PC, as I do have a 360 gamepad for it now. I can't stand playing GTA-style games with a keyboard, I just can't do it.

agent86

@Oak June 19th according to current sources

FAE

@James yep, you and your

James

@John I can think of many valid questions where that word would be just fine.. What happens to your {item} in {game} when {events} take place.

agent86

7:05 PM

@FAE (most) of the GTA-style sequences are a) optional (iirc) and b) not very good, fwiw.

FAE

@agent86 It's only single player right?

agent86

@FAE yeah, it's single player only. there's some "rockstar social club" integration - but it's mainly so that you can have an interactive map on the website that's updated with your game progress

FAE

I usually get single player games on PS3 and multiplayer on 360.

Nick T

hackertyper.com type away

look pro

James

@agent86 haha, was just telling the people I work with that I am considering taking May 15th off, one of em goes 'Diablo eh?' :D

Resorath

7:08 PM

@James oh good call

Ullallulloo

@NickT much

Resorath

although I dread doing the first hour of diablo 3 since I've done it to death

James

@Resorath My only days off from work in over a year now have been sick days.. I think its time I took one on purpose :)

agent86

@FAE also, I seem to remember discussing witcher 2 with you, potentially... they're giving away 1,000 "review copies" of the xbox 360 edition to people, if you're interested in signing up

Resorath

@James I actually have vacation to burn for the same reason. maybe ill take the week

FAE

7:09 PM

@agent86 Thanks, I'll pass though, as I have The Witcher EE (1st one) on PC and I have this thing about getting series on the same platform I started with >_>

James

@Resorath Thats what I am considering right now, do I take Only the 15th :D

agent86

well, for anyone else who has an xbox and wants to try to snag a copy of witcher 2: thewitcher.com/review

@FAE same, I think I bought it on steam for $4 or something right before I went to the netherlands last year

John

@James This is a word filter we're talking about here.

It's not going to be brilliant.

James

@John Yeah but is Stupid help good or detrimental?

FAE

@agent86 I found a fancy shmancy boxed edition sitting on the shelves of my local indie-ish game store here (which has since gone bankrupt and closed sob) and got that

John

7:13 PM

@James I never said it was either.

agent86

@FAE this is kind of how I ended up with my fancy edition of the civilization box set. It's out of date now (it only went through Civ4, and not its expansions, sadly) but it's one of very few games I proudly display the box for

FAE

@agent86 The Civ complete collection?

agent86

@FAE I believe that's what it's called, yes

FAE

I have that too :D

That accompanying card game is so bad

agent86

it's sort of leather-bound-ish-looking-but-paper

FAE

7:14 PM

Red?

agent86

@FAE really? darn. I was hoping some day to break that out and have some fun with it :(

@FAE yeah, kinda red. The box art on all the disc cases is sad

I took out the Civ4 in there and replaced it with my "complete" Civ4 edition

besides that, I've got a lucasarts adventure collector's edition that came in a fancy metal CD case

FAE

@agent86 It's... not that great. Not balanced very well and mostly, it just makes you go "This is frustrating, I'm just gonna go actually play Civ now"
