You need Vista Ultimate to do this on Vista, because DreamScene is an Ultimate-only extra. There is another program you can use (DesktopFX I think), that has a free 30-day trial for non-Ultimate versions of Vista (probably other operating systems as well).
The animated desktops are pretty cool, however they stretched across both my monitors and looked warped because of their resolution, so I reverted back to motionless Tyrael wallpaper.
I'm a total retard when it comes to hand-eye coordination, so I suck pretty hard at beer pong. Although it is very fun, which makes 4 Kings my favourite game. Whats the best rules you've ever come up with? I once, in the interest of destroying everyone's liver, made a rule so that when you consume, the person oppisite you must consume (this doesn't cuase a massive chain though). I also once played when ever anyone finishes a drink, everyone must consume. That was further expanded to whenever someone also opens a drink, everyone must consume. Shit was rough.
As for waking up, I'm pretty good at finding some sort of couch or bed. The craziest place I guess I've passed out is the back of a Ute (Americans call it a Truck) that was padded with mattresses and had pillows and blankets, that was fortunately parked on my property. However, my brother and my mate have passed out on a pontoon and 2 of my other mates have passed out in the middle of a roundabout. Someone also passed out in a wheelbarrow at my 17th. Unfortunately, I can't put any of those to my name.
I must try to pass out somewhere awesome (ie. roof or a pool mattress that is actually in a pool) on the holidays.
I should clarify, because I don't want my friends to sounds like bad people. However, at the rate my mates and I drink, hosts generally can't afford free alcohol for a party, so they don't provide any.
I do vaguely recall 2 nights with Jager bombs, though. Good stuff.
The first time I ever had one was at my mates 19th Birthday, I had already sculled the Kings Cup (If you don't know what 4 kings is, you're really missing out) and then I had like 3 Jager bombs and I don't remember much after that. Woke up with a wrecked toe though. Unidentified Drinking Injuries FTW!
The second time wasn't quite as bad, there were no cups so I was just drinking from a bottle of Jager and chasing with Red Bull. Got pretty messy, but it was good fun.
I go to parties, however most of them have a 'no free alcohol' policy. I'm generally expected to provide myself with at the minimum of a whole bottle of spirits or a carton of anything and I'm not allowed to leave until its finished. So free beer isn't all that common for me.
Oh well, this method results in many good nights anyway. So its not all bad.
Wow, I thought I was the only person who has had a Diablo III dream.
I was playing a Wizard in dungeon similar to what we were shown in Act I. As I went through the dungeon, I was just placing down time bubbles and blowing enemies up or off the edge. Unfortunately, after about a minute I was woken up with my mate in my bed, stroking me cheek and informing it was hair of the dog time. Still, it was the greatest wet dream ever...
Good news on that front, my brother, my best friend, his girlfriend and I are going to LAN up and beat Diablo 1 sometime soon. Turns out I'm the only who hasn't beaten it yet, and therefore can't consider myself a true Diablo fan. >.<
I feel that if they implemented a block like this, combat would become very much like a melee class in Oblivion. Constantly holding black, then counter attacking. That became very monotonous and boring. It will probably deteriorate from the frenzied flow of Diablo combat, and force you to black/defend to remain viable. Also, if a melee class can tank everything for a ranged class, that becomes really hard to balance. They are either very weak by their own or completely imbalanced with melee classes.
Perhaps something reactive that you can use after being attacked would work. Like a counter-attack manouver. Still, as Dimebog pointed out, there will most likely be damage abosrbing cooldowns instead.
Not sure whether I read it or not, but I was under the impression so long as the rune was attached to the skill, its effect will be there (ie. permanent). Once that rune is removed or changed, the effect will be removed or changed, so you can't stack runes. I think there is a blue post by Bashiok that answers some of these rune questions, I could be mistaken though.
I'd love to see runes that increase my ability to utilise the new physic engine. For instance, if I crit someone with my fireball then going flying back for ages, for if I kill someone with it their body explodes with limbs flying everywhere and the fireball keeps going on. I don't know, just little runes to increase the visual carnage you can cuase.
Italofoca, your idea is great. I'd be happy even if the changes were superficial (ie. just change the way it looks) so everyone would have a far more personalised and diverse skill set.

I'm pretty sure thats the intention. I also don't know how its dangerous and a bad thing, but ok.
Lemon extract? That is just cruel. Then again, I've had a Kings Cup with both milk and water, so I guess it could be worse.
PS: I was talking about drawing a 5 in 4 Kings to make a rule, not beer pong.
