Ahaha Blizzard is doing this big streaming event for Heart of the Swarm and right now they're talking about plot and lore and the challenges of storytelling in RTS.

Maybe it'd be less challenging if you didn't hire your writers from fanfiction.net, god dammit.

The only two plots Blizzard has ever done:

1. Thing is good. Thing gets corrupted. Thing is now bad.

2. Thing is bad. Thing used to be good but was corrupted. Source of corruption is destroyed. Thing is good again.

EDIT: "Our passion is storytelling." - Some guy from Blizzard, without a hint of irony.

I pretty sure Hank and Uraizen use them too.

I've got 'em too. Once you have them, it's weird to try playing without them. The only way I've knocked them off is by dropping my controller on the floor accidentally.

Originally Posted by icebeast Yeah, I didn't really enjoy any of the boss levels in that game, I found them all fairly aggravating; the final level of the main story especially so. After I finished that level I didn't really have any motivation to go back and get all of the teeth, so I'll probably never actually play through the additional world. The game wasn't bad, I certainly enjoyed parts of it, but there were still a lot of parts of it that I found frustrating that I'd never want to play through again.

The last level was actually my favorite in the whole game. I also really liked the chase levels, so I guess that game is a hit or miss in a lot of ways for different people.

BUT WHAT ABOUT DIABLO 3?!

That was a story bro.

Haven't touched it. Does Tyrael get corrupted this time? Maybe Cain? it, let's just make the cow level canon. Corrupted cows. You have to destroy the Cow Stone to free the once noble race.

Man Microsoft. I kinda want El Shaddai, and it's $3. I also have 240 MS points in my account, which equals $3. But if you try to pay in points, they jack the price up to 400 points.

480*
A lot of people are waiting for el shaddai.

The bosses were mostly just taking time to memorize patterns, though still some control quirks there that lead to deaths..

Well I meant more the boss stage as the whole package, since almost all of them had an intro or outro or both part with a chase sequence which was super hard, and then you also get to fight a boss along with it. The boss in the fire and ice area was especially bad.

I liked the levels which were slower paced where I could take my time and screw around and just check things out, the game was really beautiful and that was probably my favorite part about it.

Nah, I got it when it dropped in price a couple of weeks after you guys and never played with any of you.

That does suck. You should try GS. I got a copy there in December for $2.99.

I'm good with that.

Just wait. It'll be on sale all week and they're supposedly working to fix it.

I'll probably just rent it one day.

I liked the remake more than the original.

As you should. The original was awful.

Psychic girl was pretty cool hopefully they make a part 2 even if it didn't do that good in sales

Very nice to see a new face around here, bro.

Hey, Uraizen or Hank... Do either of you know anything about the Injustice fightstick? I'm thinking about preordering the $150 edition of the game, but it only comes with a fightstick that I know nothing about aside from the fact that it looks super sweet.

It's made by PDP, so I'd steer clear until impressions are out.

Thanks! Gonna just preorder the $99 version for now then.

They also made the MK9 stick, and it was supposedly decent. So. . .Up to you.
