Reliable Source: Marion Cox Sr. Reveals The Secret Fifth Class in Diablo 3
- Thread starter Marion Cox

it annoys me that the necromancer isn't in it, seeing as how it was one of the top classes way back in D2, and my personal favorite. But blizz sure as hell has their barbarian and sorceress in there, and their rip off of hellgates' summoner too. (yes, the witch doctor looks to play almost identically to hellgate londons summoner). god the barbarian was boring.
that other guy in this thread is probably right, the paladin is one of blizz's signature classes, and has appeared in most of their games.

Apologies if I mislead, but I don't regularly read Reliable Source. It's not the article that I object to; by all means, have some fun, guys. It's just that it's in my news feed, at the bottom of the main Escapist page in amongst other, real newspieces. Obviously, the article's title is prefaced by "Reliable Source: ", so it's not like I can't tell quickly, but it's still annoying.-Stranger- said:
As far as I've ever seen, the four kinds of thing that go into the feed are:-Stranger- said:
#1 - News pieces
#2 - Articles posted (which include Reliable Source)
#3 - Articles which are "Oh hey lookie! This is cool!"
#4 - New video uploaded (Zero Punctuation, etc)
All of which I don't mind... except that Reliable Source is misleading at times. *shrug* It's not like I expected anything to come of me complaining; just catharsis.
Well, many people paying for the video game itself, something intangible (especially in the case of digital downloads), use a credit card and therefore must be retarded as well?ihatekotaku said:
Well, I guess every gamer is a retard just wasting his money on a bunch of stupid pixels on a screen. I guess now that you've figured out the truth, the gaming industry will collapse and we'll all have to find new hobbies.
Did I actually say that? I mean, I'm not saying I wouldn't say that, but, I just don't remember saying that. I may have been high. There's a viciously true rumor going about that I do that sometimes...Marion Cox said:
"Some Mexican game" was possibly the funniest line in the whole article. I do try to like your article, I just...no matter how much I want to, or how hard you try, you're just...not funny.
So...stop reading it. We have a wealth of content on this site. Some will click with you, some won't. Nothing wrong with that. But just showing up to say "yeah, I still don't like you" is pretty crappy, don't you think?BehattedWanderer said:
I want to though, is the thing. I like the information behind the articles, so that's why I'm still reading, but it's a bit pesky to see someone trying to be funny too hard. I get what he wants to do, and I would laugh at the punchline, but the delivery is just...off. I want to laugh, but it's almost like reading one of those "Oh, you had to have been there" jokes--the topic there might be funny, but if you weren't there (or in this case the delivery needs work), then you might nervously laugh, just to go along with it, but it won't be anywhere near as fun if you weren't there. I apologize found sounding like a jackass in this, but I do so only because I like the column's content but want to see improvement in the way it's delivered, the way it's presented. It's almost like hearing a really well told joke that gets the whole room in rib-hurting belly laughs, and then hearing the same joke told by someone who was there listening, and watching them laugh as they tell their portion of the joke--the joke is still as good as it was in literature, but the way its told is whats keeping it back from telling to telling. And really, that's what I get out of the article--good content, but it's like hearing someone else's joke.Susan Arendt said:
I understand what you're saying, but showing up to say "I still don't find you funny" achieves nothing. If you have constructive criticism or a concrete suggestion, by all means, please offer it, but "be funny in a way I like" doesn't really help much.BehattedWanderer said:
