    The first thing I thought on seeing these was "now THIS is a great setting for a Diablo game!" Not that I had any problem with Diablo 3's shots... just that the darkened dungeons and dried-up looking surface areas reminded me of D1 & 2. #mytheon

    Why do bad guys always Shatter Isles?

    Is it just an ego thing? Do they do it just to show off their guns? Maybe tear the sleeves off their robes, throw some Copenhagen in their lip, and then go around breaking islands while drinking a PBR?

    And where does all that lava that is always flowing around in Hades go? Ever been to Hawaii and seen the lava there? It's constantly piling up and forming huge messy piles of lava rock when it cools. Is that part of the punishment of Hades, having to clean up dried lava rock? #mytheon

    Glad that he can put a positive spin on it. But I for one go through a negative feedback loop.

    Loop goes something like this:

    wake up, shove glasses on floor - get toothpaste on shirt - mismatch socks - hot humid day, entire body itches - annoying people - more annoying people - boring work - traffic - car trouble - noisy neighbors - everything that can go wrong goes wrong - suck at game - break something - more bad stuff - go to sleep unfulfilled - rinse, repeat.

    Yeah not very witty, but you get the point. #nba

    So frustration leads to victory, huh?

    The man has a point. When I lose, it makes me strive to win. Take this week for example, I've been going up against a friend nearly every day in SupCom: FA and he's beaten me 9/10. Now, I could have called it quits and admitted defeat but my loss spurred me on to practice different build orders and strategies and today I won....then lost....and lost again.

    Don't ragequit kids! Learn from your mistakes and come back stronger - this applies to just about anything that requires any semblance of skill. #nba

    @-MasterDex-:
    To quote from Batman Begins "Why do we fall? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up."

    Something that bugs me about this "everyone's a winner! Nobody loses!" mentality drummed into kids is that it offers no scope for improvement.

    My friend dominated me in Street Fighter on the weekend by using Blanka and flowcharting. Instead of getting pissed off and not playing, I learned what I was doing wrong, stopped doing it and improved.

    It's like when I was at school. Everyone always told me I was smart, and I managed o get by without doing any work so I believed them. Now I have severe motivational issues when it comes to trying to learn in a typical school (or college) environment and I've become an autodidact to compensate.

    The only problem with being an autodidact is that most of the time your teacher is an idiot who knows nothing about the subject.

    Tangential much? #nba

    I sort of yell at my controller when losing, it just whimpers for a minute before coincidentally losing it's power.

    I sort of that take built up aggression and use it on my girlfriend, sadly she doesn't lose her power at ALL and I'm the one left whimpering before closing my eyes to indicate "losing power".

    Gaming leads to frustration. Frustration leads to anger. Anger leads to ass kicking. #nba

    I'll just put cellophane over his pool and after he throws it *in* the pool, I'll run out from behind the bushes and steal it. With the kind of money he makes, it's like us throwing a nickel in a wishing fountain at the mall. #nba

    Magic is great. I loved Duels of the Planeswalkers by Microprose. But this better not be anything like that Battlemage game. #magicthegatheringtactics

    I recall the very first Magic: the Gathering PC game... the Windows 95 one that only had 4th Edition cards and a smattering of OMGWTFBBQ rares (Black Lotus, Moxen, Time Walk, etc.)

    I actually forked a fireball so many times that it crashed my desktop. Did some 680 damage. Ahh, the good old days. #magicthegatheringtactics

    " As with any Magic-related product, fans can expect regular content expansions and strong tournament support, along with achievements and rankings."

    Still waiting for that with the xbox 360 Plainswalker title.... #magicthegatheringtactics
