Wait, are you saying you bought Diablo because you like Baldur's Gate? You're in for a massive disappointment if you were.

Sunny autumn day is making me happy. Walked to my step mom after work to collect my dad's cowboy boots for a barn party this weekend. Walk took about 1.5-2 hours and I was completely knackered when I got there, but it was well worth it.

That is what I'm saying.
Aren't they in the same vein? 3rd person team action RPG?
I've read since that the console version isn't bogged down with online restrictions like the PC version. Apparently it's "the best version of the game [Diablo 3] you can buy."
I'm sure it was IGN where I seen that.

Anyhow, we'll find out in about 2 hours.

I wouldn't characterise BG as action RPG, though - those are old fashioned CRPG. unless you count that Jade something something, which had nothing to do with the original narrative.

He might be talking about Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 on the consoles, which were isometric action rpgs.

That said, D3 is a massive disappointment to the Diablo series.

Yes I was, I wasn't aware of any other type of Baldurs gate game.

Yeah D3 is my first diablo outing so I can't really comment, I like it this far. It's got some nice touches.
Of course, this is the first game I've actually bought myself for about a year, so it's a case of "This is the best damn cracker I ever ate!!!" Haha.

I'm gonna be positive today despite having several driving needs that have yet to be fulfilled in some time.

Therefore I will be going through some old posts and giving rep to those who deserve it. Time to spread the love that has been denied me for too long. An extra few bucks down on the karma payment plan.

Theorizing that one could poop within his own lifetime, Doctor Poopet led an elite group of scientists into the desert to develop a top secret project, known as QUANTUM POOP. Pressured to prove his theories or lose funding, Doctor Poopet, prematurely stepped into the Poop Accelerator and vanished. He awoke to find himself in the past, suffering from partial amnesia and facing a mirror image that was not his own. Fortunately, contact with his own bowels was made through brainwave transmissions, with Al the Poop Observer, who appeared in the form of a hologram that only Doctor Poopet could see and hear. Trapped in the past, Doctor Poopet finds himself pooping from life to life, pooping things right, that once went wrong and hoping each time, that his next poop will be the poop home.

No, I thought you were welsh. But, now you mention it, it explains a lot.
Welcome home then.
It also bodes well for me, that I chose that pic, you being from Yorkshire an all.
Enjoy you're first day.

So, parents are away on a cruise for a month. F. R. E. E. D. O. M.

...and because they're away, I naturally become incredibly responsible (well, more than usual; what the 'rents would like me to be like) and promptly realize that I really badly need to move out, 'coz I am WAY happier and properly independent and actually somewhat motivated whenever they go away. And I already thought I needed to move out. XD

Go and find my 20 Questions with a Forum Member interview, and do the math.

Most people here (and online in general) overestimate my age. It was my "one thing most people here don't know about you" answer. XD

He looks like hes about 16. I think he's early twenties at the oldest.

New girl got angry about something. Guessed what it was and did a precision apology strike. Direct hit!

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
