    Quote from "SFJake" »
    People over there tend to show their excitements on official board or World of Warcraft board, not on the sub forums.

    The gamespot list is arranged by how many people visit the game's page on their site, not how many people post on the forums. In other words, more people are typing "Diablo 3" into gamespot's search bar than "Cataclysm"

    posted a message on Diablo 3 obliterating Cataclysm in public interest?
    I always try to pay attention to what games people are interested in, and what startles me more than anything is how many more hits Diablo 3 is getting than Cataclysm.

    My first hint came during Blizzcon. At the keynote speech Diablo 3's Monk class and World of Warcraft's Cataclysm expansion were both announced within minutes of each other. A couple hours later I looked up the most popular videos on youtube and the Monk trailer and gameplay videos were at the top of the list. The Cataclysm trailer was at the bottom of the page, about 20th in popularity. Not that 20th is a bad place to be on the mother-of-all-video-streaming-sites, but for Diablo 3 to beat it out by that much astonishes me.

    Today I happened to be browsing the popular games list on Gamespot.com and I noticed something interesting. Diablo 3 has snatched the #1 spot today, Starcraft 2 is in 6th, and Cataclysm isn't even on the top 10 list?! Have there been any big Diablo 3 or Starcraft 2 announcements lately? No... So why isn't everyone as interested in Cataclysm?

    Personally I'm excited for all 3 games, I just think this is an odd discovery.

    Oh right, I'll talk to him about making a non-widescreen version.

    EDIT: He said he'll make a fullscreen version as soon as he gets the chance, I'll edit the first post with the new resolutions when they're aavailable :)

    posted a message on WoW Expansion Title and Races CONFIRMED!
    WoW's expansion was officially announced during the BlizzCon keynote speech. Just as everyone was guessing, the title is "Cataclysm" and the new races are Goblin for Horde and Worgen for Alliance. Azeroth has been completely redesigned for the expansion, there's even a pool of lava running through The Barrens!

    :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

    posted a message on Blizzcon Stream Update Thread
    That's cool, I'm just trying to figure out how to get ALL the info from BlizzCon since I can't get the live stream for myself. I guess I'll look around to see if anyone is giving more complete coverage of the feeds.

    Yeah, the idea was to keep everything coming from the live stream organized into one continuous informative thread. An IRC is closer, but the thread would be the best because we could filter out the text that isn't informative.

    Basically people only post news threads about things that they consider to be a really big deal, but this thread would have pretty much everything coming from Blizzcon all in one neat read-thru (ideally).

    posted a message on Adflict, Lord of Torment
    Thank you for reading and reviewing! Chapter length is something I've been fighting with myself over, but after 2 comments about the 2nd chapter being too short I think I've gotten my answer. As for Adflict's entrance I found it to be very flashy and dramatic! And he DID have an entourage, it was a pretty small line in the first chapter, but I'll quote it real fast "As he spoke, all varieties of nightmarish demons started cascading forth from the crimson-lightning maelstrom, some so large they had to squat their bodies to fit through the giant portal."

    Anywho, I've often thought about going back and adding more detail to the story cuz I really like the characters I've created... but my thinking is that it would take a long time to add in all the details I want (details like character descriptions of Jenna, Jennice, and Lerrick, their homestead, also descriptions of the monsters that followed Adflict out of the portal), and right now I'm just writing a quick story because it's fun. Maybe once the story is finished I'll go back and refine it, but for now it's all in good fun.

    P.S. The story never actually said Jenna died ;)

    posted a message on Blizzcon Stream Update Thread
    Unfortunately I won't be able to go to Blizzcon this year, and it's not looking like I'm going to have the cash to watch the live stream, so I was trying to think of ways I could keep getting up-to-the-minute info about the event. I then came up with an idea for us to have a thread on the forum specifically for updates about Blizzcon, primarily coming from the live video stream. To keep things organized I think it would be a good idea to ONLY have posts with new information in the thread, with no discussion. If people want to discuss something they can start a new thread. That way every post on the Blizzcon update thread is new information and people won't have to sift through tons of "I hate this" and "I like this" posts.

    It will be a lot of moderation work to keep the thread clean of discussion posts and duplicate news, but it will be SO worth it. I'm sure there are tons of other D3 fans who are looking for something just like this.

    Thoughts?

    Thanks for the review Auruoa! To correct something in your post, the the story never actually said the girl died, just that she fainted from overwhelming pain. I left it like that for a reason :)

    Glad to hear you're looking forward to chapter 3, I'm excited to start writing again now that I'm back from my forum hiatus!

    Sorry I lagged behind in my duties, points have been added! I'm surprised there were only a couple of new entries since I was out of commission...
