man, if we do a D3 promo contest, I so do not want to get sucked in again. I am telling myself this so that perhaps I will act like a sane, rational human being and not like a crazed, foaming at the mouth prize-beast, intent on devouring ALL THE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
I'm like the incredible hulk, except less incredible.
@agent86 I just know the only way I'll play D3 is if I win it in a contest like this, or a grant... But... That's gonna depend on what other games are available in said grant, as this one should (hopefully) be a freebie, since I met the requirements for the last grant I participated in.
@Fluttershy yeah, I have no idea how all of that works - sometimes they've said "you're in if you did a good job last time" and sometimes it's more of "we're giving away N copies, put your name in the hat"
the rules change so often it's hard to say what the rules will be this time
if I have a choice, I'll probably opt for D3, I don't know that there's much coming out around the same time that I'm super interested in. I played the first two titles casually, and I could see getting some decent hours out of #3
@agent86 Well, if I get a grant, yayyyyy! If not, there's always next time.

I hope that some day there will be a grant and contest for games that are cute so I an win ALL THE THINGS evil laugh

@Ullallulloo Well, if I just use 3 words in a 3000 word article I would not cite it. Also I may have written the article myself. Also the 3 words might be "common knowledge".
I did a custom build for Pudge and i want to backup it so i can try out this custom build manager :D2RIC_1.3.3
I only found the default ones in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\dota 2 beta\dota\itembuilds and its subfolder.
So does anyone know the exact path?
When I was playing on my Zealadin, a friend of mine gave me a sword that had the Deadly Strike bonus applied to it.
I'm not entirely sure this sword was legit (it could have very well been a modded weapon, but I don't even know how to tell). The thing that interested me was that, by the time I h...
Yes, Diablo is taking over the site two weeks early! Now I have to debate whether I really want to re-install D2 just for the two weeks. I was planning on using Torchlight to tide me over.
Diablo 2's multiplayer has been a wasteland of spam messages for years—bots who enter, post long, green, gigantic messages, and leave. I've asked several party members about how to stop this and they said I can only try to squelch them from the party menu if I'm fast. Is there truly no other way?...
In Diablo 2, Mephisto runs were the quickest way to farm item drops in the game. How do players run them so quickly? Were there set map layouts that players could recognize and know where the next set of stairs down are placed?
In that question: How can I unlock Super Bandage?
Answers say that I have to beat four horsemen in one playthrough to unlock Super Bandage. I'm wondered if I have to collect meats they give me or just killing them is enough?
I plan on picking up Diablo 3 on the expected release day, but I am new to the franchise. I know in other games it is crucial to play the previous release to fully understand the story line. Does Diablo 2 have a cliff hanger I need to know about?
Should I play Diablo 1 and / or Diablo 2 before...
Is there a way to maximize my chances of finding a specific item if I'm absolutely determined to farm until it drops? I understand that it could take thousands of attempts, but if I'm going to be running repeated farming runs, I'd like to be able to pick runs that maximize the chances of getting...
Assuming one has plenty of extra lives, is there any value, in general, to collecting coins in Super Mario 3D Land?
If like in Super Mario Galaxy 2 there is a use for coins but only those collected in a specific level, then please don't name the level, just say that there are such levels.
@Lazers I'm very myuuurrrn about these questions. They're acceptable, so it's not like anything should be done. But, well, just voicing aloud, randomly, for once.
@Fluttershy Tip: If you DO buy it again, and you're running Windows 7, just download the client from BNet. No CD required, and it runs better than the CD installs. I found this out last week.
@agent86 The lag problem? I am surprised that you are not familiar with it. The problem had something to do with after reaching a certain amount of total game time. After you reached this certain amount, the game was horribly slow and opening inventory, option, pause menu, and loading screens was a hassle. I remember once I timed a loading screen with my stopwatch and it took a total of 31mins 13secs.
@fbueckert Huh, maybe it's not the same one then. Because the one I had didn't allow for a wider viewing area on the grounds that Battlenet considered it to be cheating
Announcement: I will be in Europe during the time period surrounding the Diablo III launch. So... there's your chance! You won't have to compete with Raven Dreamer to get all that sweet, sweet, Diablo III rep!
@RavenDreamer I'm actually pretty good at talking around and/or through awkward silences in order to facilitate a comfortable social environment. Side effect of dating geeks.
One of the patches to Diablo 2 added a quest reward that allowed you to re-spec your characters skills. If a character had already completed all the quests prior to the patch, is there any way to get a respec for that character?
Are there any "cheats" or things you can do to quickly attain Pokemon with custom levels, custom abilities, and custom EVs?
I've got a set of pokemon, the perfect team I use for Wi-Fi gameplay and such, but strong as they may be, their natures are off. Normally this doesn't present much of an...
I have a 20 minute video on my PS3 that I'd like to play repeatedly on a loop. I have sequential playback enabled.
How exactly can I get this video to loop?
Hankering for some Diablo 1, but most resources online only cover Diablo 2. Is there easy way to run it natively? Would old Mac emulation work in lieu of dual-booting Windows? Is Diablo 1 feeble enough to run well in virtualization? Should I virtualize Snow Leopard with Rosetta instead of Windows...
I wonder if this contest is doing what it was designed to do. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like it was targeted to get some Diablo 3 seeding going on, and they threw in Diablo 1 and 2 because not every one could compete in Diablo 3's beta. But now they removed Diablo 3 from the running...
@Ullallulloo honestly I got the impression that the 1&2 were thrown in for fun, and that they didn't know the D3 beta was ending tomorrow and wanted to seed some more content
@Resorath I believe the intent is to get D1/D2 questions on the site. D3beta was added because, why not? This is the impression that I'm getting from talking to the organizers.
@agent86 This makes me happy :P It works with the fact that I am currently drooling over a replica Tennant coat (which I am seriously considering saving for as a replacement for my craptacular current fall coat)
at any rate you can't be worried about getting kicked out of the network and taking the least amount of time to download that thing at the same time :P
Not to be confused with the Diablo that appears in Uber Tristram, Uber Diablo was created to soak up duped "Stone of Jordan" rings that were a large problem for a while across servers. The idea was to sell Stone of Jordans to vendors to spawn Uber Diablo on all "Hell" difficulty games for a speci...
They said they needed to fix a number of things on the client side too.
@Ullallulloo PS3 doesn't do digital distribution à la Steam?
At any rate you'll be having to download day 1 patches

@agent86 The same guy also did a cover of the MLP theme. :D LOVE. Also a Zelda cover. Seriously this cannot get any more awesome. my brain might explode from the awesome.
@Michel well, now that you've called us lazy, I don't plan on handling it for at least another hour. Welcome to slow flag handling town, population YOU
@Michel well, now you've called me lazy again. you're at 3 hours now. before much longer, I'm just going to start dismissing your flags as unhelpful! Then a mysterious number that nobody can see but is attached to your profile will go down slightly
you will forever be mocked in the halls of the internet elite members club and your family will disown you
@NickT rumor has it it still exists, but not in any visible form. I don't see it, and it doesn't really make that much of a difference in flag handling time, so I say it's a myth.
@GraceNote I am more or less blind, but I don't see how that's relevant. It's not on the flag page, and not on any user page I tend to click on. If they show it to me in some arcane fashion, I've never seen it.
Well, basically, it was only made public because people wanted to keep score. This led to more flagging, but it also led to 300% more drama about this score than was really necessary. It got in the way of productivity - mods not only had to watch their toes in handling flags, but also had to deal with all the fallout
Currently I'm running with a Myrmidon that can do all sites except gravimetric and wspace. On the other account I'm using a Manticore for probing and some extra DPS.
What other combinations are considered good?
I am trying to play BG2 with a friend over Hamachi and no matter what I've tried, it still can't find him, even though another one of our friends can join him, and vice versa, so there must be something wrong on my end. Ideas?
In the Game Settings I can find those two sliders but I have no clue of their effect (if any) in the game.
Are they just for the show, a joke if you prefer, or they affect the game somehow?
@agent86 I was going to be more obtuse to say "He can't see it because it's not available to it" in a more cryptic/abusive manner, but I decided to mince words and just cut to the chase.
I imagine that diablo-series is not to say it's about all of the games all the time, but rather is about things within the series itself, crossing boundaries.
> As a Soldier, use %attack2% when wielding the Cow Mangler 5000 to fire a charged shot, dealing extra damage and setting the enemy briefly on fire. Be careful! A charged shot entirely depletes the Cow Mangler 5000's ammunition.
@ArdaXi That's true. I actually specifically use wrong grammar in some cases so other native speakers who think it's correct don't look at me weird. It kind of sucks.

Spoiler alert! Don't read if you haven't completed the original Diablo from 1996.
