Petition for the "Renewed artistic direction for Diablo 3"

HAHAHAhahahahaa....

This is hilariously retarded.

And a little bit depressing and sad.

The gist: Almost 5000 people (as of the time of this post) are bitching and whining because Diablo III isn't exactly like Diablo II.

The saga of the broken 360 wireless adapter continues

*weary sigh*

Well, the big headache with this whole Xbox 360 wireless networking adapter issue continues.

I received the replacement from NewEgg today and it also does not work, same as the first one.

So, I finally decided to actually call Xbox Customer Support, as the email support was less than satisfactory. Just got off the phone with them.

After the whole rigmarole of telling them that I've already tried plugging it in all of the USB ports and that I've already tried powering down the console and unplugging/plugging it in and so on and so forth, they finally told me that they (Microsoft) would send me a replacement adapter "that works". We'll see....

Now, I just have to ship this one off to Texas and wait god knows how long until they send a new one, which I'll try to do tomorrow morning as it's too freaking hot to be out and about right now. Hopefully, it will, indeed, actually work this time.

As I said before, from checking several threads on the Xbox.com forums, this issue with the wireless adapters not working seems to be a fairly recent, and apparently increasingly widespread, phenomenon. Theories that I've seen include a bad batch of adapters in the wild, as well as a potential conflict with one of the console updates or some such (and I did have my console connected to the Internet before through an ethernet cable, so I probably have whatever updates are available, and so that could be it as well). Whatever the reason, it's very frustrating and annoying.

( EDIT: I got one last email from Xbox Customer Support )

Beyond Good and Evil 2

Hmm, well this is certainly interesting... I guess because I was in NC at the time and without access to the Internet, I completely missed the announcement that there's finally going to be a Beyond Good and Evil 2. I'm kind of surprised that I hadn't heard or seen anything about this until now, over a month later, and even then only a passing mention out of the blue in the blog for yesterday's Dueling Analogs...

Honestly, this is right up there with Diablo III for me. If you've never played the first BG&E, I cannot recommend it highly enough.

(Can has Psychonauts sequel now too plzthx?)

( EDIT: Yet more futile bitching about an annoying trend I've seen ever increasingly more of lately... )
