@Gbullet If you like Torchlight, it's because it was made by the people who made Diablo and Diablo 2. Check out those games, too, if you haven't already. You can pick them up for a song.

@cwright133 @snake-ala I agree, and I like the music in the first two games much more than in the third. The music was very atmospheric and helped immerse you in the game and set the tone.

I don't know why they say this is "something different." There are a thousand other games just like it.

@famekiller There is no such thing as freedom of speech on a privately owned website. They can censor whatever they want.

John Davison looks a helluva lot like David Gilmour. Maybe it's just me.

The disgruntled employee has a serious case of the entitlement mentality that has become so prevalent in the past few years.

If these authenticators are so necessary, why didn't I get one in my $60 Diablo 3 box?

Oh, by the way. When I visited the Blizzard site to restore my account, I did not click the link in the email. I typed in the address manually, as I always do because phishing email can look very legit.

The issue is, indeed, most likely on Blizzard's end. Here's my story quickly. I played WoW for a while, then quit. A few months later my PC died and I bought a Mac. The Mac never had WoW installed on it. A full nine months after I quit WoW (which was played on the old PC), I received an email from Blizzard about my account being hacked. It stated that my WoW items had been restored and I should run anti-virus software, etc. It was basically saying that it was my fault this happened, even though I hadn't even installed WoW or any other Blizzard product, or even logged into my Blizzard account on this computer, and hadn't logged in on any computer for nine months.

So I went to Blizzard's site and jumped through the hoops needed to restore my account and create a new password and I figured that was the end of it. A couple of months later I got another notification that my account had been hacked yet again. Mind you, I still don't even have WoW installed on the computer and my Mac is clean of any sort of virus or keylogger. Additionally, my passwords are complex. I didn't even bother to restore my account after that since there was obviously a security leak at Blizzard's end that I can do nothing about.

I think it's very likely that the same security issue is plaguing Blizzard with Diablo 3. These account thieves in Asia are clever. Very clever. They work incredibly hard to steal money. I have to scratch my head and wonder why they don't just get a normal job if they have to work so hard to steal.

I could see this one coming when I saw that Kingdoms of Amalur turd. They tried to make that game all things to all people instead of a game that knows what kind of game it is. RPG players don't want arcade-style combat, anime elements and flashy crap uglying up the screen. When I saw the previews for this game, I was immediately turned off. Then they released it for a $60 asking price. That's just too damn much. If it had been a $20 Steam download, I wouldn't have much to say about it. My buddy got burned for the $60 and he facepalmed. I think Curt Schilling's name sold him on it more than anything else. He tried to play it for a few days but just hated it and gave up.

This is a classic case of biting off more than you can chew.
