Couple of brits are going to drive around the world. They are about to start the process.

Italian Spiderman; for reals this time, not just the trailer.

Grefter · « **Reply #278 on:** June 16, 2012, 05:55:42 AM »

:O

You. Hyping Italian Spiderman. Marry me.

Also you might want to check out Danger 5 if you enjoyed Italian Spiderman. Same dudes doing broadcast television and it is glorious.

This website basically keeps track of what games are on sale on what website. It is awesome.

Because Diablo 3's real-money auction house wasn't dubious enough, now Blizzard is using it to basically steal money from customers via rules lawyering.

NotMiki · « **Reply #284 on:** July 01, 2012, 05:55:02 PM »

Terms of use agreements like that are exactly the kind of contract most susceptible to having courts ignore their more egregious terms. Expect to see a class action a couple years down the line if they don't fix this problem. Blizzard is a remarkably good target for a class action lawsuit because it will be easy and inexpensive to get information on who the class members are, meaning lower costs for class lawyers, and greater likelihood that the class gets certified.

SnowFire · « **Reply #285 on:** July 01, 2012, 06:06:24 PM »

Also, not to sidetrack things, but dubious as the RMAH is, it's better than letting trades run over eBay / PayPal, which is what happens if you allow trading but don't have a real-money in-game way to trade. There's even more shadiness there.

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #286 on:** July 01, 2012, 06:51:16 PM »

Well yeah. Paypal IS a bank, except completely unregulated. RMAH is just like a bank but unregulated.

Shale · « **Reply #287 on:** July 02, 2012, 12:27:30 PM »

I'm on board with that reasoning in principle, but the RMAH is better than a black market because you run the risk that a fly-by-night item site will pull something like stealing your balance and saying "fuck you, that's why" when you complain. So where does that leave us now?

Grefter · « **Reply #288 on:** July 02, 2012, 09:46:47 PM »

It leaves us swearing black and blue about the same thing people have been screaming about D3 who have actually been playing the game. Blizzards authentication process falling down in all parts of the game. Should authenticate receiving money to Blizz account, not upon spending the money.

Cotigo · « **Reply #289 on:** July 03, 2012, 02:49:35 AM »

Personally I just switched back to SC2. Less frustrating BNET.

Grefter · « **Reply #290 on:** July 03, 2012, 05:16:11 AM »

And yet still always online and just as vulnerable to authentication server issues.

Pretty much exactly what it says in the link. Is it just me or does the person in the second-to-last panel in drawing #37 look like he has Down's syndrome? His eyes just seem really far apart, and he's got that facial expression.

Drop the kind of part. 4chan does seem to attract the real winners of the internet.

Massive glitch in FF6 that lets you do all kinds of hilarious/weird things.

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #299 on:** July 14, 2012, 05:13:18 PM »

A more thorough exploration of that particular glitch, among others.
