Not really Fallout related, but read this meng:

www.kotaku.com wrote: Blizzard will be making a "major product announcement" in 2007, according to an IGN interview with the developers COO.

Paul Sams told IGN that Blizzard was currently working on at least three other unannounced titles at the moment and, just to rub it in, dropped StarCraft's name.

"StarCraft is my absolutely favorite game of all time," Sams told us. "As you probably already know, there is no doubt that we will continue the StarCraft and Diablo franchise, and trust me, I will be the happiest person in the world when we announce StarCraft 2."

I'm not sure which I want to see more: StarCraft 2 or Diable 3. Brian Crecente

Diablo 3? Starcraft 2? I think that those would be 2 obvious guesses, but what would the 3rd one be?

Unannounced WoW expansion 1

Unannounced WoW expansion 3

Move along. Nothing to see here.

World of Diablo, World of Starcraft and the third one is an expansion to WoW that connects all three worlds together.

You're complaining about everything being so '90s. Well let me tell you something, '90s are way better than the '00s! Really, it's like the new '20s. Think about it: Y2K bugs, the Apocalypse, oil running out, temperature skyrocketing like iraqi nuclear missiles and welfare society falling apart like Vanilla Ice's credibility, 9/11, 14/88, 2.8, Katarina, Pussycat Dolls, punk is dead, and emo's next. Newsflash: Garbage is so very '90s too! And you and your momma, and your momma's momma, who's probably soooo 1890s! Why don't you just teleport to the 2150s huh and don't let the teleport door slam your fancy butt on your way to another dimension! I bet when the robots were after you you'd be begging to be sent back to the '90s. swell guy.

Emo is on its deathbed, don't worry.

Have you played any MMO..? It's the same thing =/ and in some of them you don't even have to group.
Sure, you pay for it each month, but it's the same thing, grinding, getting better items, running a boss...

The grind is but the face of mainstream gaming. Sans mask cavalcade. An honest lie. Psychological strings and pins. Can you look away ? Or will you stare on, transfixed and insensible ?

In The End, what You do is irrelevant. Others will.

To share is to dilute. What must be done ? Inhume without bias, with no cessation bar that of starvation, then and only then yours may transcend such base origins and become a path of influence and consequence.

For what little such would be worth. Oho.

Massive multiplayer bonanza surelly has a decent playfield outside of level crumbling and collecting awesome items, but for some reason people feel it's both synonimous and necessary to this long lost genre. Now, we've had some mmofps's that I've never played, which are supposed to be funky on some levels, and we've had statless graphic chat-room simulations that escalate into crap because of the item craze, also something that I haven't played. What genre is there yet to conquer? Surelly there's alot of potential in fighting, racing, simulation, strategy and whatever I was going to write before falling asleep mmo's, not to mention mix-genre mmo's. Somewhere out there one might suppose to find a decent timewaster, because generally mmo's are out there to get you hooked for years believing you're living in the real world when you're not, and getting married to a topless ballerina dancer, alias Jon "Mr. Teatime" Piano, and then finding out it was all a lie and falling for the newer mmo that's just out, repeating an indefinate circle, and eventually people will learn to shun mmo's by trial and error.

I suggest the free game TrackMania for you St. Toxic.

A racing game where you compete with others via time-trial for 7-10 minutes before the maps change. You have rankings and stuff.

And you can make your own maps *joy*

No, I haven't played any MMOs, but the main reason for why I don't like them is that you depend way too much on your group/party. What I like about PvM in Diablo is how you get all of your godly gear and then obliterate entire groups of monsters in a matter of seconds.

And then of course, there is the PvP. Nothing better to spend your time on than listen to crying noobs make excuses for why your 5-0'ed them

I find Diablo the perfect game of it's genre. The classes, items and characters are not in complete balance, but there are ways around it. Surely, there could be improvements, and if Blizzard spent half as much time on Diablo as they spent on WoW, Diablo would be a much better game, but we don't pay monthly :@ Even though I just got my 8th fucking copy of the game a few days ago (don't ask me what I need so many of them for).
