The online action house in Diablo 3 is great for people who might want to enjoy the more difficult parts of the game without having to spend hours and hours farming to get the equipment in order to advance to the next level.

The days of farming in video games are over. Back in the dawn of the genre, it was almost required that games had farming so they could advertise "x" hours of gameplay and still design a game that would fit on a floppy disk. There also weren't a lot of titles or competition back then. Playing the video game was the novelty in itself; we older gamers were prepared to forgive a lot of crap in the name of novelty and fun. Things have changed.

Modern video gamers expect things to happen; the pace of the game has to match those expectations. Instead of farming, the in game advancement has to be organic, dynamic, entertaining and engaging. Now, if your game isn't engaging, somebody is going to put that crap down, write a bad review online and download Angry Birds.

Oh, wait, were we supposed to comment on the poor dude in the video? What is this, high school?

I really don't know if was supposed to be laughing or just feeling bad for that guy. I can go on a rant or two myself, but I don't tend to get all sweaty and put of breath about it. I also don't tend to do it over things like video games.

Not me. I don't play Diablo. I play World of Warcraft. People who play Diablo are nerds.

Netflix, GRM, porn, and WoW.

As far as the nerd thing goes, I may play WoW, but I've never rolled a D20.

In reply to Salanis:

At least watch the last 30 seconds or so, if nothing else just so you can see how sweaty and out of breath that dude gets over the course of his rant. Most exercise he's had in some time I figure.

LOL. Even though it was fake, it was still awesome. I have known people like that...

Nope, I'm not like that at all. I swear.

And what is so bad about rolling a d20? I love my d20s.
