Error 37: Diablo III the new Mass Effect III



Error 37: Diablo III the new Mass Effect III
Fanboys are pissed, and this time they might have a point. I was reading the amusing post on Cracked.com and I feel their pain. But, back in my hardcore gaming days, games like Superman 64 had these sort of problems.
I haven't seen this much nerd rage sense gamers hated the ending to ME3. There has been so much outrage over the fatal errors that Blizzard had to make a statement. This time around the fanboys have a rightful grip. If you can't play the game because of faulty software, what's the point? Plus, game companies have to consider how fast negative word on street flows through the Twitter/Facebook/Blogger world. People no longer have to wait to read about it in their Lamepro (Gamepro).
The geeks rule the Earth now.




I have to give it up for the secret level in the game though. Is this a bash against My Little Pony and Care Bears?

The Jimquisition took this on too.

And the argument that I liked the best from it was it was Blizzard caused this problem themselves by demanding an always on service for a single player game so they could profit from the real money auction houses that went with the game.

I remember when I got Starcraft II earlier this year, and after I installed it, I couldn't play it because there was something wrong on Blizzard's end and it took them a day and a half to admit the problem was on their end and fix it. And that affected the single and multiplayer components of the game (since you need to log into an account to set up offline single player).

So I've been bitten by these schemes too... which is why I don't own a copy of Diablo III at the moment.

That was a good video. I actually agree with that. It does seem odd that you have to log in for a single player mode. And, it must be annoying when you can't log in because of them.

There is a game coming out in a few months called Torchlight II which is very much like the Diablo series, but it doesn't need to be tethered to the internet the whole time.

You should look it up on Steam... the System Requirements are very modest.

I will give it a try. I am currently on a FFT kick and trying to max out everything from Cloud to some of the other characters. Then I have to try to beat Bastion too.

Shannon Fill: Where is she now? (Ensign Sito Jaxa)

Shannon Fill:   Where is she now? SF has been reviewing TNG seasons o ver at his blog. And, the episode Lower Decks came up. I recently watched Lower Decks on Net-flicks and found myself amazed with the performance from the young and lovely Shannon Fill , who played the character Ensign Sito Jaxa. Jaxa showed up in two episodes of TNG, actually they were two important episodes.   There was a nice arc to her character too.   Her character was killed off in Lower Decks , but there were plans to bring her back for an episode of DS9. From Memory Alpha , ((One story considered by the writing staff concerned the return of  Sito Jaxa  from  TNG : " Lower Decks ". The pitch had Sito being imprisoned under inhumane conditions and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.  Robert Hewitt Wolfe  developed the story for some time. Feeling that there was insufficient explanation of Sito's condition, he had Sito killing her cellmate, whom she'd become cl...

Madison Swan/Mia Malkova: Not so Mother's Day

Image
I’ve written about some messed up things in my time as a blogger, but this story might just top the cake.  And, I mean really.  If you are offended by porn and the porn industry, don’t read this blog.  However, this might be one of the strangest and creepiest things I’ve seen and read about.  It just seems so wrong... A few days ago, I stumbled across an Amateur Allure (porn) video.   AA is a polished porn site that features a lot of POV shots and newcomers in the industry.   Also, there is MILF/step daughter (pretending) porn thing out there and it’s very popular.   Even AA has a few of these “fake” mother/step-daughter teams.   It is a very popular Genre in the industry.   However, this one is different.   AA had a video claiming that a fledging pornstar Madison Swan/Mia Malkova   did a Pre-Audition video with her mother tagging along…her real mother.  Mia/Madison shows up for her “audition”, which means you show ...

Kouri Richins | Are you with me ?

Image
  Kouri Richins was just found guilty.  She was the one who was looking for “That Michael Jackson shit.” This woman wrote a children’s book about her husband’s death.  This was after she gave him a drink full of Fentanyl.  There was so much in the drink that it would kill him a hundred times over. I just love that she was so sure she got away with it that she “wrote” a book to capitalize on it.   By the way, she did not write the book.  It was ghostwritten.  This was a grief book to “teach” kids about loss.  What a POS.  The name of the book is Are You With Me?   Yes, he was with you when his wife was found guilty.  Not sure if she will write a sequel.  She is Not With Us.   By the way, the channel changed the name of the interview video after her guilty verdict.
