    Why are people freaking out over the "Always Online" aspect of Diablo 3?

    http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/08/01/diablo-3-cannot-be-played-offline/ I don't think there's any room for confusion here friend. Just in case: Clear enough?

    Blizzard Surprised by Reaction to Online-Only Diablo 3

    I think you might mean country instead of world there. Large parts of the rural USA are without decent internet connection even for those who can afford it (unless you're trying to argue that the average consumer should pay to build infrastructure too). Let's not even discuss internet coverage...

    Escape to the Movies: The Kings Speech

    Out of interest I went and looked up the list of best picture nominees to see how accurate his 'guide' to Oscar bait was. You know the last time a film set in WWII won best picture was 1996 (The English Patient). Not only that but if you look at the losers since then it makes for some...

    Rumor: BioWare Mystery Project is Call of Duty: Mass Effect

    Yes because the mere existence of a ME FPS will retroactively make great games suddenly bad. Alternatively you could continue to enjoy the ME trilogy and pretend this game never happened.

    God, I hope Molyneux reads this

    My biggest annoyance was that you got no warning before the final boss fight. It was just another day as king (something like 121 days before the attack) and when the day ended the attack happened. What made it worse is that there are no previous saves so by the time you realise that the...

    Stop Blowing My Mind!

    Well Karl Urban's signed on to make a new one. I don't know who's directing, but Karl Urban's presence fills me with some confidence.

    James Cameron Rips Into Piranha 3D

    So Cameron's biased because he was kicked off Piranha 2, but the writer of this article isn't biased despite having friends in the film and living near where it was filmed? Am I missing some deeply ironic joke here? OT: I don't really have an opinion either way here. On the one hand, Cameron...

    FPS Developers Support Call of Duty Subscriptions

    The main problem I have with all this is the way Activision are talking about it. It doesn't sound like they have any ideas on how to make a MMOFPS, just that they want to monetize MW2 multiplayer. I'm not saying that's a bad way to think about it (they are a company after all), but it's not the...

    View From the Road: Where Everybody Knows Your Name

    You do realise that being on the electoral roll in the UK puts your address and telephone number on the internet?

    Blizzard is "Definitely Listening" to Real ID Feedback

    Do people still believe this policy is about removing trolls? I hope not. It's increasingly obvious, from statements from both Blizzard and Activision, that this is preparing the way for full facebook integration. And if you think that this is going to end at the forums, then I'm willing to bet...

    Blizzard Triggers a Different Kind of Cataclysm

    You know what the best part is? According to the Bashiok's twitter, 4chan has got the wrong guy. Which means that someone, who may have never have even been involved with WoW or Blizzard, is having what must be the worst day of his life because of this policy.

    Blizzard Triggers a Different Kind of Cataclysm

    Or maybe you don't want any future employers who google you to know that you play WoW? With it's reputation in the mainstream media, it's something that could easily count against you.

    Also I think Facebook has fairly conclusively proved that anonymity is not an essential part of PA's internet F-wad theory.

    Funnily enough this policy violates their own code of conduct Unless names don't count at as personal information now.

    Blizzard Triggers a Different Kind of Cataclysm

    Ha I was just about to post that. It's not a good thing when reality follows satire is it? I didn't use Blizzard forums before and I certainly won't now. As far as I can see this will just encourage people to troll on my facebook page rather than a gaming forum which sounds like an awful idea...
