Is it any good? (OK, OK, I know you haven't finished yet.)

Yes, I have. That's what "completed" means...

It's solid. Nothing pants-explodingly awesome, but very solid gameplay, spiced up with Blizzard's usual high standard of cutscenes. 75%.

3 of my buddies at work took the day off on Wednesday this week, and played as a group for 18 hours, starting Tuesday night. They finished it. [:D]

Took me 17 hours and 51 minutes, first half alone, second with a buddy.

Hi all,

Took me 17 hours and 51 minutes, first half alone, second with a buddy.

And now what?

Is there replayability (i.e. can you play it again and that it won't get same / bored)?

And thus, Diablo III has been completed. Blizzard, you're forgiven.

I have no idea what you guys are talking about here. Blizzard? Steam? Blissful ignorance.[:)]

Not really. The story is the same, even if the monsters and the loot are randomly generated every time. I might try a different character class.

How is the copy protection - is it good like AE? Or is it "Keep the disc in the drive", or some stupid "secretly modify the system" scheme, or "validate on-line every time" or what?

You have to be online all the time, for every game you play, whether you're playing alone or with friends.

Get yourselves over to the Australian Beauties thread. Its all goin' dannn!!

Have a look at the instructions on who to vote for next - no girl is safe! One of the 6-vote big hitters is going out of the competition - and it could be La Marceau [X(][X(] Also, at least two of Preston, Fisher and Coleman are going the same way!!! Could Wargame Forum Beauty Pageants get any more exciting than this?!?!?!?!?!?

The pics accompany each new round - I think pages 35 and 36 for the latest beauties. New pics will be posted once we get past the current play-offs and into the next round.

Good evening chaps. I'm an airman without a squadron now. [:(] Just three short weeks to do nothing, except pack all our belongings and move my family to a new house I don't actually have yet [:@]

Parole tithe...

Off to enjoy a breezy, but 80F evening. Gonna grill some burgers, put away a couple of Heinekens and watch a movie (13 days) with the Mrs.

Hey Dixie: there's some lovely homes over here that could be made available for you in a very short period of time. Give 'em a look, mate.
