Diablo® III

Hi!

Lots of people (me, for example) are bored and looking for things to do while we wait for 5.15.

Can you tell us anything new-but-not-groundbreaking about d3?

Do you have any recommendations for passing the time? What have you been up to?

Do you have a favorite funny youtube video (even if its not d3 related)?

Thanks!

Bored? In a world with WoW battlegrounds and the StarCraft II ladder up and running?

To pass the time, I'm watching lots and lots of World Championship Series matches online. Very much fun.

I love old videos that were funny once upon a time, like Ask A Ninja or Strongbad Emails.

Let's see... new-but-not-groundbreaking...

About five weeks ago, a co-worker of mine really hit a wall on the last boss in the game on Nightmare. And he's a fine gamer. Dude has plenty of talent. And he called me over and showed me his struggles, and I was stumped. I watched him playing very admirably, and going down, and I didn't know what to suggest. It was the first time that I really contemplated how complicated the build decisions can be for each hero. I was just merrily playing along on my heroes, making whatever build decisions seemed like the most effective, and not thinking ahead much. I started imagining scenarios that might come along and completely shut down whatever I was counting on (example: very close quarters when you're a Vault-centric demon hunter.) No big deal on normal. You die a couple of times, try a different build, and then work from there. But on Hardcore... you don't get to experiment. Once you engage that boss, it's win or lose. Big.

A third person came over and made some suggestions to the co-worker who was struggling, and made a positive difference. He defeated the boss, and was so happy that he forgot to pick up his loot before going on to Hell!

Speaking of watching games... have you ever tried watching "Let's Play" videos on Youtube? My favorite is "Helloween" playing Amnesia... fun to watch scary games lol.
