Sure, stop on by! When you get to the third floor, just find one of our names on the phone list and give us a ring.

How Wizard damage increases (seem to) work. TL;DR: Magic Weapon does >2x as much as it should. by Nolariin Diablo

[–]alienth 1 point2 points ago

You're right; I'm crazy :)

I wonder what will happen when they eventually get to this.

Diablo III Claims its First Real-World Victim, 32-Year Old Russell Shirley by ft_andrewin Diablo

When someone dies of a heart attack while watching TV, are they a victim of the television?

How Wizard damage increases (seem to) work. TL;DR: Magic Weapon does >2x as much as it should. by Nolariin Diablo

[–]alienth 1 point2 points ago

Been pondering on this. MW increases the damage of your weapon by 10% (or 15%), not your DPS.

If your weapon speed is higher than 1.0 hit per second, you're going to see more than a 10% increase in overall DPS with MW enabled.

Does this perhaps explain the oddity which you're seeing?

I have my sources. Namely, the servers.

Is there any general rule on the shelf-life of spices? by alienthin AskCulinary

[–]alienth[S] 1 point2 points ago

Thanks for the tip! I think I'm going to take this route. I've bought so many spices only to use them once or twice in 6 months.

Please, please reddit, let us Europeans and Americans know how the Asian launch goes ! by petitdragon06in Diablo

The beta kept some story elements out of Act I, so not even that is safe.

How does one get invited to the fancier of subreddits? by darcone88in engineering

[–]alienth[A] 35 points36 points ago

That subredditwas created, set to private, and then never used.

If you'd like to take ownership of it, make a request in /r/redditrequest.

Amazing.

You should consider x-posting to /r/waterporn.

Will we be able to buy the CE after release? by nyzekain Diablo

[–]alienth 0 points1 point ago

Are you talking about the 'account name / password' section after selecting the reddit D2 server?

If so, it says 'battle.net info' because the reddit server is a bnet emulator. The game client thinks it is connecting to battle.net. Have you tried creating an account on that page?

The Dangers of reading the Book of Cain? by ozakuin Diablo

[–]alienth 7 points8 points ago

No spoilers, that I could tell. Mostly covers the history of the world. There are some ominous 'i fear that X could happen' passages, but they were on things that are pretty obvious (yes, in fact, demons will be making an appearance in D3!)

I wouldn't consider this a spoiler book.

Midnight Release: Best Buy or Gamestop? by Human_Or_Botin Diablo

[–]alienth 0 points1 point ago*

In the case of Gamestop, it heavily varies between individual stores.

I've been to stores where the employees baked cupcakes for their releases and arranged games. I've been to others that felt like we were participating in a factory-line.

Would anyone be interested in some healthy recipes for making bulk food for long gaming sessions? by powered_by_evilin Diablo

How long does that keep in your fridge?

Whole week, as well.

Correct; there is no delete.

HELP ME! I have 8 days and 19 hours to pick a class, but I just CAN'T do it... by pmccain Diablo

[–]alienth 1 point2 points ago

Also interesting: the list was nearly alphabetical, except for Monk.

I can't be the only who's STARVING for new content everyday checking this subreddit until 9 days are up. PLEASE post new content or anything you find intresting. Discussions are more than welcome! by [deleted]in Diablo

[–]alienth 5 points6 points ago

It is mostly a history of Sanctuary, as compiled by Deckard Cain. Beautiful illustrations in the book. Fills in quite a bit of the lore of the whole world (some of which was retconned). You get to learn about the creation and history of Heaven, Hell, and Sanctuary. Also has short bios of the main players in heaven and hell.

It is a bit pricey, but I didn't regret buying it. The writing is mostly good, but "meh" in a few places.
