Well now – it's not every day that you get the PR contact for Runic Games here. Wonder Russell, you've convinced me to try it out. Expect to see more on here in the future about it.

Just want to say that we were Flagship Studios North, working on Mythos – none of us worked on HG:L with the exception of Erich Schaefer and Peter Hu.

Also, not just the creators of D2 but the whole Blizzard North and Diablo franchise, so that helps There's a demo on Steam available, try it out!

Yeah, I'm really not suprised with the oh-so-soon sequel. I do wish they would've just been quiet with the remark about "wanting T. Hawk and Dee Jay in the game, but having to hold them out for more fine tuning." GAAAH why would you say that and fan the flames?!?

The ultimately sad part is that arcades except in Japan are going the way of the dodo. I do think there's a place for them, but the market ultimately needs to change in order to accommodate an era where online play and HD consoles outdo arcade cabinets.

I got burned with Hellgate London, so that's the only other thing holding me back from Torchlight. Still, at the price it is, that's not too bad at all.

I did hear about the Super Street Fighter IV thing. Lots of people are crying foul, but man, if you look at the history of it all, are you surprised? (Street Fighter II, Champions Edition, Turbo, Hyper, etc., etc.)

HAIYUKEN!!!!

Anyway there were many quarters spent on Street Fighter back in the arcade era of my youth.

I actually just got rid of my copy of Street Fighter IV. Figured to get as much money out of it as I could before Super Street Fighter IV arrives.

I'm really enjoying Torchlight myself (1/2 assed review in the works), but my one qualm is no multiplayer. It needs it so bad.
