Debating getting it

Same. I just don't like Blizzard, is all....

Don't let srs bsns IRL keep you from doing something you know you want to do. Diablo 3 is pretty fun.

[Asamin]

I think it's really fun. Pretty doesn't cover it.

[Jessifer]

Well, it's fun enough to pretty much stop me from playing WoW. That's gotta count for something.

[Asamin]

I wanted to play Demon Hunter but she needs to be really reworked.... I love the skills as they are but even with decent gear I get my ass kicked.

Considering how shitty WoW is now...

*shakes fist at fried tits*

I'm debating buying this too. Sigh...

Hurry.

[Asamin]

Chruser, your sig kills my computers. I don't know what it is but the whole page lags so bad.

[!King_Amazon!]

It doesn't lag for me, but it does break the scroll function of my middle mouse button until I switch tabs. It's pretty retarded and obnoxious, I'll at least agree with that much.

[Asamin]

It only actually effects my sister's Macbook Air. My mom's laptop is using google chrome and I just told it not to load that file

[Chruser]

Disabling Java, or at least my sig, in your browser seems like the best solution, yes. :p

[!King_Amazon!]

Ah, but then the trolls win.

[Asamin]

I can't even do that in this browser. Macbook Air's suck.

[!King_Amazon!]

Whoever said Belial in hell was hard, LOL at you. I just did it on my first try. Ez as pie. All you have to do is avoid his attacks and not die like a noob.

[Skurai]

Once I get this job (if I get this fucking job (I really hate how hard it is to get a job (seriously wtf? 10 years ago I could walk in without a gradeschool diploma and get a fucking job (maybe that's what went wrong...)))).

[kaos]

Maybe you'd get the job (if it involved you on the lower side of a glory hole)

[Asamin]

Or if it involved the incorrect use of parenthesis.

Haha. Someone hasn't been making excel sheets, that's for sure!

[Asamin]

Excel? That piece of shit that comes with Microsoft Office that's near impossible to get it to do what you want? No, I have not been making Excel spreadsheets. Fuck Excel.

[!King_Amazon!]

If you can't get excel to do what you want then you are pretty stupid. I find it to be a useful tool. I use it at work a lot, but I could even see uses for it at home. For instance, I could put a bunch of recipes in excel and use formulas to have the ingredient amounts change depending on how many servings I wish to make. I could pretty easily do this on the spot, but being able to change one field in a spreadsheet and have all of the numbers adjusted for me right then would be fairly useful. I have also used excel to track my grades in college courses. It's great for determining what you need to do from any given point to reach a goal. I can calculate what grade I have to get on an exam to make my final grade an A, for example.

I do this too with a piece of paper and a calculator O.O

[Lenny]

I can't understand why so many people hate the Microsoft Office suite so much. The main programs within it are all insanely powerful, yet at the same time pretty easy to use*. You just need to put a little bit of time into learning what you want to do. With Word, for example, if you spend a few minutes setting up your document before start writing, and know the autocorrect rules for writing mathematical symbols and equations, than you can create, for example, a scientific paper in Word far easier than if you did it in LaTeX.

As for the people who hate it because it's not free, let me ask you, how many people do you know who have actually paid money for Microsoft Office? The only people who buy it are business and schools and Universities.

*Apart from Access. There's a special circle of hell reserved for the programmers who built Access.

[!King_Amazon!]

Yeah, but I can make a single spreadsheet at the beginning of the semester that can be adjusted as I get my grades. You have to recalculate everything if you are doing it on paper. I can change a couple of numbers and get new results instantly. That is the beauty of using formulas.

Not at all holmes. I simply put each assignment and its value for the course as it is easy to convert the assignment to its overall value, example;

Essay 1 - x/20%
MidTerm 1 - x/15%
Essay 2 - x/35%
Final - x/30%
---------x/100

Simple...

But I do know what you are getting at lol...just had to do this for the sake of it.

[WetWired]

No, Word is horrendously hard to use, if you want anything specific out of it. If I have to submit something in Word format, I write it in HTML, then import it into Word.

[jamer123]

word is easy for me exel is really easy ... powerpoint is a nightmare ...

[!King_Amazon!]

I use Excel and Powerpoint regularly at work. We also use Access for our databases, but I generally avoid it. We use Outlook for e-mail which I believe uses Word for formatting, generally. I also just use Word by itself from time to time. I can tolerate them all, as long as it isn't Office 2007 or later. I can use 2007+, but I don't like to, and I'm not nearly as proficient.

[Asamin]

Formulas, whatever, I can do those. But Graphs? Don't even get me started. All the options are hidden from view and it's near impossible to get a graph to do what you want unless you've taken a fucking course in the damn program.

[!King_Amazon!]

Yeah, excel has some pretty crappy graphs. There are better programs for that. I only use it for basic XY plots, and even then it is pretty inferior. The curve fitting functions are terrible.

[jamer123]

excel graphs are shit, i agree on that one

[kaos]

So that settles it, you should definitely buy Excel.

[!King_Amazon!]

Nah, pirate that shit. Or just use OpenOffice.

[Asamin]

In conclusion, buy Diablo III. It's worth it. But don't use excel for graphs. It's great for formulas though. Word can be confusing too. And Access is just hell.

[!King_Amazon!]

In conclusion, buy Diablo III. It's worth it.

This isn't true. If I could get my money back, I would.

[NonGayMan]

Game is fun from Normal to Hell then you realize the only way to advance in the game is to buy $1,000 worth of gear off the RMAH.

EDIT: Just sell $60 worth of stuff on the RMAH! Money back! Lol. I've lost all faith in Blizzard.

[Grav]

I am glad I did not purchase it, then. Maybe you should make a no-gear fight club to get your money back. Haha

[NonGayMan]

1.0.3 pretty much killed the game for me for good. I quit. I had to spend 200k on repair costs in one day. That's all the gold I had. Call me a newb but I'm not about to farm gold or buy it off some Chinese gold farmer.

[!King_Amazon!]

Wow, that is retarded. Repair costs were pretty low, but that's ridiculous. Even with skillful play you will die a lot in inferno.

[Asamin]

They bumped it that much? People are about to rage at Blizz. That is really a bit absurd. Wait. Not a bit. That's completely insane.

[!King_Amazon!]

People are already raging. They are pretty much e-rioting on the general forums right now.

They nerfed IAS (which some idiots actually bought on the RMAH... and I'm talking like hundreds to thousands of dollars here o_O) and upped the repair costs by ten times as much as they were before.

I have no idea what Blizzard is thinking. Did they think the casual players were just gonna use the RMAH if they couldn't repair their gear? No... they are gonna quit the game. There's like only 1000-3000 people playing Diablo 3 in public games anymore.

[Asamin]

I never played public games at all. Since I run a place that isn't to dangerous, I am not to effected by the repair costs. But.... I lost 10k damage. Fuck you blizz.
