Diablo 3

[chewey]

I dunno, why would you post without a brain?!

Good one

Diablo 3 isn't an MMO, there's little point in comparing it to GW2.  It's online, you fight in real time, that's all they share in common.  From what I've played (the Diablo 3 Beta) it's shaping up to be the game Diablo fans have been waiting for.  If you're not a Diablo fan, this is a moot point!

I am getting both, because I get Diablo 3 for free, and pre-ordered Guild Wars 2.
If you want to wait, I may be able to stream Guild Wars 2 next weekend during the BWE.

You make the best point about Diablo. Moo, you played the D3 beta, and if you felt it was unexciting I doubt the end-game content will change your mind. The endless killing for loot is what drives Diablo, not the final boss.

GW2, on the other hand, is entirely different from GW. I have plenty of blind faith in ANet but I don't know how it'll end up. There will be more Guild Wars 2 Beta Weekends in the coming months. If you like what you see and hear about this coming Beta Weekend you can always pre-purchase afterward to get into the next ones, if you want.

Some people were talking about pre-purchasing it from like a gamestop or something and then canceling their order, and theoretically you should still have guaranteed access to the other beta weekends (because physical pre-purchases require a different code for the beta and the full game). Not sure how it'll work out, but you could always look into that later on.

Maybe if you're a casual.

I'm someone who plays games seriously, but I could give less about people playing games casually. The only time I get pissy about it is if some casual gamer thinks he's better than a serious player who is significantly better or if they ruin a game for a serious player on their team and say something stupid like "it's just a game." I know that wasn't directed towards me but just defending myself as a serious gamer.

IN ANY CASE, I'm probably going to buy D3. It's a long way away before GW2 even comes out (since the beta weekends start this month and there are scheduled beta weekends in the months to come), and Torchlight 2 isn't that expensive for when it does come out. So D3 should last me.

Both of those posts were jokes, but unsurprisingly the good people of RMRK are incapable of not being retarded. Stop takin' everything so serious, brother.

Or maybe Kaden's post was a joke, and you failed to understand the humour because you're retarded.

If you expect others to understand when you're joking when you expressionlessly type something that's only mildly funny even when understood as a joke, you should perhaps be less quick to assume that other people's humourless posts aren't jokes.

After all, jokes that aren't funny are the soul of RMRK, and it is unsettling that one should so casually insult this mighty fine tradition by assuming them not to be jokes. Begone, foul demon! Begone!

I am reminded of a small dolphin I once befriended at the NYC Aquarium. She was lovely.

[chewey]

 Everything you just said probably isn't the case. Probably.

[modern algebra]

Oh most definitely.

I was just typing because I like words. I like annoying people with words. I wish I knew more words. Words is one of the only words I know

Trolling is so out of style. The trolls killed it. Being cool with everything is the new scene.

[SirJackRex]

Yeah, I'm disappointed that GW2 will most likely drop during the beginning of the semester. I can understand your decision. I'm betting on August or September

Just get it eventually! We need a big enough RMRK group.

Trolling is so out of style. The trolls killed it. Being cool with everything is the new scene.

I like trolling as a concept. It is inherently exclusionary, in that the joke is only funny if there is an in-group observing an excluded group that fails to understand the joke. I find it interesting that a statement that might have no independent humour content generates humour by people not understanding that it's intended to be humourous. It essentially makes fun of people for correctly interpreting the explicit content of a message but failing to comprehend its meaning. In that way, the existence of trolling forces people to examine more than the content of a message to understand the message, which is a useful skill of critical reflection that many people do not otherwise learn. It's unfortunate that it's a type of bullying as otherwise I think it's pretty neat.

Anyway, I have never played Guild Wars so my opinion is useless, but I love Diablo so I'll be getting that.

[Holkeye]

I'm cool with that.

[modern algebra]

I laughed and I don't know how to express that without sounding like I'm trolling. Is there a sincerity emoticon?

[modern algebra]

D3 comes out in two days. More like one day because it's like Monday night/Tuesday morning-ish. Who's playing? ;o
