Diablo III is probably going to be the first non-portable game I've bought in a long time, and then it will ruin my life.

I'm certainly not familiar with the game so from the cinematic's and posters I saw in the past, my idea of the gameplay was very different than what it actually is. I feel sorta duped.

Most of my friends enjoy the cinematics but are playing for the game. I got a guest pass today so I'm downloading the game now and will try it next week when my wife and kids go out of town... the trial gives me 7 hours of playtime. Hopefully that will be enough. : )

I am more excited about Diablo III than StarCraft II also. Definitely gonna buy that one as soon as it's out.

No apology needed. Comments make my day. :-)

...meanwhile I'm enjoying DeathSpank, Persona 3 FES, and messing with Unity.

And sorry about the double comment. I always seem to come up with better and/or revised things to say as soon as I hit the post button. : )

Everyone I know is all over it. I'm thinking I'll probably get it eventually...

Thanks guys. All good.

I timed out... I just couldn't pull the trigger. Amazing for me, too. I was freaking out the entire time and my mind was spinning.

Did you shoot the drug dealer? How long did you spend deciding what to do?

That was a really amazing moment for me, and probably my favorite of the game. For what it's worth, I didn't shoot him :)

Looking forward to your thoughts on Heavy Rain. Have you played Alan Wake? I would be interested in what you think about that game as well.

Aargh! This subject makes me want to strangle someone. Specifically, a group of people.

I think Jenny had the same reaction. She no-likey spiders, and this was too close to said critter for her tastes.

Going all Minority Report would be lovely if the graphics appeared in the air in front of me, but I only really want my hands up briefly, even when on the couch.

Hands-up control is just tiring. Most of the time playing Zelda, I controlled the WiiMote while it rested on my lap, and I can't imagine wanting my hands up on a fake driving wheel for more than a few minutes, even if I was sitting down on the couch. Thanks for the comments, Sam. :-)

I get the philosophy behind these "capture your movements" devices, but you pointed out the exact reason why I think it's dead-end technology (ie. it can't be taken much further or it will start to alienate audiences).

However, I could be proved wrong, maybe things will start to go all Minority Report now with holographic displays and finger flicks to access critical functions. If they get that type of accuracy out of the technology I can see it starting to get fun again, but making people gyrate limbs around to do anything is just impractical for everything except dance games (and even then, how many people want to do that?).

Whoa that's a trip. The frog one was more uncomfortable for me to watch though. Kinda gross. :)
