meh, I guess i must be stupid to not care about this because I am so lucky to have stable internet.
Anyways, i remember the same outcry happening when it was announced that sc2 would require constant internet access as well, so blizzard added the "play as guest" feature so that you can play offline (and that requires you to have logged in once with your copy first). And they'll most likely do the same thing with d3. I wouldn't spend my twilight hours worrying over this:)
forget to pay your bills on electricity rick_d and you'll notice it wont get turned off. you'll get billed up your arse tho, and finally it will be subtracted right from your paycheck, but it will never get turned off. Its against the law up here in the cold harsh north, because without electricity you die.
Anyways, i can totally see your frustration, all im arguing here is basically; "cmon, its not that fucking bad. Your computer is most likely connected to internet 99% of the time anyways". And if you don't have internet, move to someplace that do. If you're poor and cant afford internet, why are you owning a brand new computer that can run diablo 3 in the first place? And why are you buying games?
...and im guessing you are not in any way furious about your lack of decent internet connection (which should be a fucking civil right like electricity and water!), or your lack of judgement when you failed to read the small white text on your game that clearly stated that it needed an internet connection?
Hey I'm not saying its a good thing that you need internet connection to play some games, but i'm sure as hell not gonna whine about it because my computer is connected to the internet 100% of the time. And those times its not, then... no wait, its always connected. I cant even recall the last time i didn't have stable internet.
yes lets do analogies with hardware to software, it always works so great, like for instance:
I bet that if i could ctrl+c & ctrl+v that fiiiiiiiine audi a6 thats parked outside then suddenly audi would insist that you'd have to have a constant internet connection in order to drive their cars.
.. maybe not in the technological wonderland of poland, but im currently browsing using my laptops wireless 
Quote from Sentura... but yeah we should all be angry at internet providers that can't provide proper internet simply because the technology isn't there ...
*cough*

instead of being angry at blizzard for requiring internet connection, you should be angry at not having an internet connection at wherever you want to play.
this looks great. I do have some criticisms tho:
1. The gun handling is not OOMPH enough. When you shoot its like it sprays everywhere (yeah I know realistic, but it doesn't feel great). This might be because when you fire your gun, the gun is moved backwards with animation but the bullet rays fly off to the side so it just looks weird.
2. Killing people looks boring. Wheres the +10 equivalent? In the video someone was shooting using the iron sights and the guy he was shooting looked to be dead immediately but the player kept shooting because there was still something dark and moving in his iron sights. Wheres the blood spray? It needs more OOMPH. It needs to look more awesome, or even sound more awesome. Gun handling and the killing is the two most important aspects of any gun-FPS. Level and world design and everything else is still important, but second. This is why having just a square box with 4 spawn points in counter-strike is fun.
3. it looks a bit like it was made with the unity3d engine. I know you said it was, but unity has this kind-of-cheap look to it. Its nothing to really worry about, but I just wanted to put it out there.
Hope you take all this criticism nicely and dont bite my head off 
I couldn't agree more. I think everything they've done so far reeks of professionalism and awesomeness. Connected to b.net while I play? sure, why not? Even my phone is connected to the internet while I use it...
Also, I think that they have taken a step in the right direction when it comes to visuals. It looks to me like things looks darker and grittier somehow. Ofcourse the desert level and the jungle levels are full of colors, but there was that forest level with the creeping fog
meh not bying it.
if there was a brilliant app, where I could just write my test and press "post" and it would automatically post to my facebook, plus, twitter, msn, talk, skype, then I'd love that app.
But i cant find it.
this is how it is with everything social. Everyone has to move, or it wont work, and the only way that will happen is if the new product is waaaaaaay more superior. Google plus is cleaner, but it isn't superior to facebook.
i love it. I wish they'd done the same thing to the auction house in wow years ago.
But then again i'd also love a gambling house in wow for in game golds
aha, never thought of that. kind of funny
Quote from Warbyi say bring on the space elevator !
you should read scalzis "old mans war"
Tell your lead exactly what you wrote here. A good lead should point out all the things you are doing which are awesome, and all the things that you could improve upon.
If the lead cant really find anything that you are doing right, then i suggest you listen very attentively
Quote from FrieChampI want an orange core! :derp:
lol that is so weird, i was thinking the same thing before i read your post lol
Quote from deceiverThe realtime vertex painting/texturing in maya :bananawrench:. Will you guys be your shader for that by any chance
?
Sure we are.
Quote from ThrikI'm very glad someone is putting up a tribute to these people rather than just letting the death count remain a statistic. Shame many of the faces/names are missing, though.
The police are in the process of releasing the names right now, so that list will be updated continuously^^
The reason why the killer has received so much attention the past few days is because there has been no official statement as to who he actually killed. Until now.
