its kind of pointless because you can't wear it

That's why it's pointless.

Diablo 3 beta... sorted, don't mind if I do.

The downside to this all, I have to take notes and write stuff about it... might start dictating while playing.

Kirth - wow. Is it a public beta?

I'll be on this evening if you fancy a bit of a laugh at me attempting to throw a flashbang through a window and it coming back towards us!!

I might be online, might go to north beers.

Kirth - wow. Is it a public beta?

Yes, but it's family/friends/press/famous people first (I shit you not about the famous people).

They just staggering the entry, think it started a week ago.

if there's a spare spot I could take lots of notes.

Read and opt-in for it then: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/blog/2985426/The_Diablo_III_Beta_Is_Now_Live-21_09_2011#blog

Cheers!

sumo I'll be on later I'd have thought.

Just got a mail with the Battlefield 3 beta key. Between that, North Drinks and the Champions League this evening is gonna be a bit of a struggle. At least they all involve beer.

Just logged in to Steam hit me up if you want a game tonight; ID - spankyz

Oh, I'm DrMrak on Onlive. I added you, Kirth.

onlive doesn't have many games does it?

Not loads. Not like Steam. But there are enough to keep me interested for now. And I don't see any reason why it won't continue to grow.

Do you reckon it will get console games so you can play them on your PC, or is that mental?

obviously with the right controller

It has a console version, so I wouldn't be surprised. That being said, I wouldn't be entirely shocked if console companies themselves start refusing licenses to companies who also put their games on Onlive (just like that game chain in the US stopped selling Deus Ex: HR because it included an Onlive voucher [after they, first, opened all the boxes and took the vouchers out]).

I have OnLive on my Mac and all it did was make me buy Deus Ex for my Xbox. I'm so used to playing games on the sofa with a good controller that using a mouse and keyboard just doesn't seem right any more.

If I could do it again, I would have waited (yeah right) for Onlive and got it off of there (my computer is not good enough to play any decent modern video games)! I much rather WASD + mouse my way around game environments.

I'm kind of annoyed that the two biggest games on OnLive also happen to be the two games that I just bought and played through. I don't really want to waste my £1 on a game I've already played... hmm dilemma.

Whats the other biggest game?

well that's probably a matter of opinion, but the one I meant was WH40K: Space Marine.

...on that note, is anyone else playing through it?

I'm not ashamed to say that I am absolutely loving it. The execution animations do get a bit boring at times, but if you strip away the WH40K environment, it still shines out as a really great 3rd person shooter.

The different enemy types really force you to think carefully about whether to go for melee or ranged, and it's got a great pace for drip-feeding you new and ever more awesome weapons and bonuses.

Just ordered battlefield 3 limited edition for £20 for the xbox. I'm sure I'll end up buying the PC one as well but that'll be off steam in a few months.
