I just found out that there is a petition out there demanding that Blizzard change the direction that it's art work is taking in Diablo 3 because it's not "dark" enough....

You know, we used to petition the heads of despotic nations begging them to please stop the torture, maiming and violent deaths. Now we petition video game companies because the shade of green they are using isn't to our liking. I don't know if I agree or disagree with this precedent, but it sure makes you think...

Speaking of thinking, I'm thinking of starting a counter petition because, quite frankly, I like the new art direction. It reminds me of Baldurs Gate II, which is my favorite game of all time. And how on earth could I hate a game that takes the tone and action of the Diablo series and combines it with one of the prettiest games of all time? How could anyone? Bunch of purest...

Edit: And I must have been board because I made the counter petition.

You could always ask your aunt, Torra Kent to get you a copy. :D

But she would probably give you a banned CD-key with it...

Well, she gave me a good key:p. Though I should probably stop talking about her, might get me banned. Not that there is anything wrong with talking about aunts on this forum:rolleyes:

Felix_MC, while you may find it funny to talk about stealing software, the people who put years of time into writing that software probably don't find it funny at all. I also suspect that the software companies who hesitate to enter the Mac market because of software piracy are not laughing very hard. And the other Mac gamers who pay for their software? Not chortling with amusement.

In any event, this forum is not the place for software piracy humor.

Blizzard launched a digital download service, where you can redownload games you already purchased. All you do is register, enter your CD-key, and download!

For some reason, it isn't liking my MacBook + Leopard. It crashes instantly. I have to reboot into Windows to play it.

Also, Zalister: I think my buddy said it best on another forum.

Why does everybody lose their mind when a developer has the audacity to use a color palette that consists of more than Dog**** Brown and Gunmetal Grey?

I can see a dungeon being dark and gloomy, but does the entire world have to look like Mordor? I'm glad that the surface world looks like the sun ACTUALLY hits it once in a while.

Anti, tell your friend that I couldn't agree more :).

Edit: My petition has 28 signatures at the moment! Making it the most successful think I've ever done in the web in my entire life! ;). I f you guys know anyone else who wants to sign it, tell them and tell them to tell their friends.

Jay Carr 07-12-2008 09:13 PM

Yahoo recently posted a video about the whiners...For some reasons it's real news now. So, I'm here telling people to tell everyone to sign my petition. Remember, my petition specifically asks everyone on the internet to make fun of all the people who are whining (about a game that's two years from finishing development...)

PS- And to make one final point, the main argument is that petitioning against something that isn't even out yet is...kind of silly.
