    OUYA Ships Twelve Hundred Dev Consoles

    "better get something so we can compare the size of it." "oh here is a coffee mug" "see how small it is compared to this mug?" Wtf? It was pretty easy to tell how big it was since you were HOLDING IT IN YOUR HANDS. Oh unless you maybe have giant freak hands? Hadn't thought about that...

    Google Faked Some Of Its Data Center Images?

    It's possible that the photographer hired to take these photos performed the manipulation and Google never noticed.

    Diablo 3 Offline Single Player Petition

    Ya, going through one time (on normal) without using the AH is very easy. Even nightmare is doable without buying gear. It gets noticeably harder after that. Blizzard themselves said that the drop system was designed to encourage trading/buying loot on the AH.

    Diablo 3 Offline Single Player Petition

    Main problem with this is that the game is designed around the AH. It would be VERY hard to make your way through the game without buying/trading gear. If they offered an offline version, they would have to change the loot drops for that version IMO.

    Diablo 3 Discussion Thread

    I don't quite understand how the checkpoints/saving work... For example, I was in one of the quest dungeons and got the "jar of souls" achievement. I continued on my way, finished the quest and went back to town. I logged off the game and relogged about 15min later. I then had to go back to a...
