Fuck. I didn't sleep at all... two nights ago, and then at midday yesterday I lay down for a nap.
I think I woke up once between then and now, but then went back to sleep, and now I've woken up and it's 1:12AM.
WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF. I need to get a good night's sleep tonight 'cause I'm supposed to be doing stuff tomorrow.

Never played D1, but D2 is pretty fast compared to D3. At least the run speed is.

If you guys are really complaining about the plot of the games I think you're missing the main focus of the genre. The story is just an excuse for the player to kill hordes of demon mooks and loot some sick loot while making numbers grow bigger.

I got myself a Logitech gamepad for my birthday and now I'm trying it out with many games that I couldn't play ages ago because of shitty console porting.
Plenty of weird stuff all around - PES 5 works properly minus the button mismatch (it has PS2 button labels while my gamepad has the Xbox 360 labels). Various Tony Hawk games don't work properly - Underground 2 for PC recognizes the left and right triggers as a single button (the original console game had two different functions assigned to LT and RT), while THPS 4 refuses to work at all. I suppose the shitty ports are to blame for that. Gotta try it with more games, I guess.

Check the underside of the controller. There should be a toggle switch for "XInput" versus "DInput." I had the same problems with my new logitech controller with some games until I figured that out. (Especially the incorrect button mapping.) Has something to do with proprietary Xbox input method that many games which will or did ship on the XBox included.

There's also X360CE, a software solution that lets basically any gamepad pretend to be an XBOX 360 pad for said games. (It also allows you to remap the buttons.)

I think you are kind of missing the point of even having a story... and frankly Diablo 1 was partially beloved because of it.

Games do not even need a story at all... All these games could have just given a short excuse plot, pointed you in the direction of evil, and had you go to town.

But they chose to have a story... so clearly they wanted to be judged on the merits of their story... so I am going to comment and make judgments on their story.

Goodness...

It is like if I was a restaurant reviewer and I ordered a steak at a steak house and got a side of fries and they tasted absolutely dreadful and you were like "Uhhh the fries were a side dish, you can't judge the restaurant because it has bad fries because you came here for the steak".

Well they never needed to include French fries... but if they taste that bad.. I am not going to give them a good review am I?

Well... maybe? I've seen pretty glowing reviews/recommendations for places that have an aside that goes "Just don't order the X". I'd even say that's fairly normal...

... in other news, I'm just now wrapping up helping make seventy people worth of coleslaw. I now thoroughly understand why people refer to the stuff with "a mess of coleslaw". I think the only place shredded cabbage didn't end up was the ceiling, and that was a close thing.

Naaaah. Like I said, reading can be pretty smooth on a tablet or touchscreen. There's other stuff that's fairly slick as well. Just... not most games.

Also the new Acrobat reader's interface is a mess.  All sorts of crap on the sides that I don't want, and F3 is broken.  Ctrl-F still brings up the search interface, but F3 and shift-F3 no longer effortlessly move between results.  Plus pages aren't even loading all the way until I wiggle the mouse over them.  Not sure why I'm still using the official reader, it's always been awful and even full of security holes...

OK, Adobe, what the everloving piss eating FUCK is wrong with you?

Flash player is out of date. Go to update it and it tries to install McAffee. WITHOUT A FUCKING TICKBOX OR ASKING. It just fucking goes straight ahead. What the piss? I swear that has to be fucking illegal in some way.

Not under Obama's new free trade plan it isn't

This kind of thing is the reason why a lot of the programs on my computer are set to never update
