Alright, today’s Amazon deal of the hour is Diablo 2 battlechest for 27 bucks. Not a GREAT deal (Gogamer.com has it for $30), but amazon is tax-less and ships free.

Boramis also found a deal where you can buy used keys for about $6, then use them on blizzard’s site to get the media (Download to replace scratched cds). Certainly way cheaper.

pLayday: 7/8 – Coop
We’ll see who comes today. If it is a low number like the last two times, then we may be able to do some Halo achievement hunting, co-op campaign with scoring, gta co-op.
I’m thinking next week, or the week after, we should shoot for some Diablo 2 co-op (up to 8 players). Who’d be interested in that? The battlechest goes on sale for $20. Is it available for that anywhere this week?
i want my 360 back :(
i finished MGS4, but can’t bring myself to start resistance knowing that i’ll have to return my brother’s ps3 in another week and half. COD4 doesn’t feel right on a PS3 controller (yep, blaming my suck on the controller), and all i’ve been doing is playing the skate demo over and over and over. serious withdrawals here.
Hey, I’ve been looking into a PC solution for pLayday as well. Do you have steam (DoD:s for $5 through tomorrow)?
Also, we may be getting a Diablo 2 game together.
And I’d be up for MGS4 Multiplayer. It’s quite fun once you actually get into it.
i’ve got steam and TF2 on my work computer (they brought back wednesday game night, even bought TF2 for all of us), but my laptop has less than a gig of space left on it, so i can’t really put anything on it.
however, i still haven’t tried the MGS4 mp yet, so i’d definitely be up to try it out some time. i’ve also been meaning to try warhawk, which i got as part of the trade as well, so let me know if you want to try either of those. i’m using my own PSN ID now, Hintzilla.
For anyone that needs Diablo 2, this site was posted in the CheapAssGamer forums: http://www.g2buy.com/index.php?gOo=goods_details.dwt&goodsid=17775&productname=
Apparently they sell you the CD keys but not the media, and Blizzard now has some sort of downloadable service (for a scant 2GB download). I haven’t tried it yet, but a bunch of people in the thread said they had luck with it, and it’s only $5 for D2+LoD.
hmm. that looks very promising. Any info on the download service to get the media?
Downloads are available direct from Blizzard with a valid CD key at https://www.blizzard.com/login/login.xml

FPS. 4 player co-op. Zombies.
Published with Valve (Half Life/Team Fortress 2), made by the Counterstrike guys.
This is all you should need to know to begin to get excited for this game. Not enough? Well, lets delve into the other details they’ve reveal:
Hey,
I just wanted to say that I’m glad you’re not being a negative nancy over this game. I’m sold.
The Counterstrike guys making a game with Valve about Zombies focused on Co-op? With splitscreen (maybe)?
The only negative is that I’m going to have to buy both the PC and 360 version (and eventually the 360 version x2 if it has 2 player split screen).
Actually, I would hope for cross platform play. Orange Box’s TF2 is a bit weak due to the lack of decent servers/hosts. But, since this only needs 4 people it really isn’t as much of a problem.
This game is going to be awesome.
Hi, I’m really excited about this game. So much so that I went and created forums for it! Really can’t wait to play. Zombies from Valve and co-op, it’s going to be sweet! Check out left4deadforums.com
I finally beat: Army of Two
Sometimes, just sometimes, you can take something that shouldn’t go together and it’ll turn out OK. Maybe even good. Like Peanut butter and chocolate, or Tabasco sauce and Soy sauce on a chicken sandwich (really, it works),
…or EA and a good game.
Or at least EA and an OK game. Sure, they just copied Gears of War, and perhaps not as well as Gears, but it has its own merits. And you can’t earn as many achievements playing the Gears Campaign AGAIN, now can you? And the game isn’t dark and dreary. Just because Brown is Real, doesn’t mean I like it. Even AoT’s “everything is sand” is better. At least it’s brighter. Unlike Skate, which only had to topple a 10 year old stale serie, AoT has some stiff competition from Gears of War, Halo, and every other multiplayer shooter out there. So, how does it stack up? And what does it do wrong (it’s EA, they had to screw something up)?
Rant: Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 NEEDS to have co-op combination of Live and Local. If I have 2 friends over, and a 3rd at his home, I want to play with all of them, dammit.
It’s not like the experience is any different on Live than Local play already. The screen locks you all together no matter which platform (local or live) that you play on. You simply can’t have 2 people on the same console. If Halo can do it, an xbox port of the xmen legends engine sure should be able to. Or perhaps that’s the problem…
Either way, from a gamer’s standpoint: just do it already. You know it makes sense.
I’d be happy if Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 was in the works, I have yet to hear anything about a sequel.
My initial impressions of: Monster Madness
I found Monster Madness for $20. Not too bad. Came in handy earlier this evening when some friends were over who wanted to play some 3 player co-op on the same box that wasn’t Marvel Ultimate Alliance.
Not too many choices after that. (More …)

Used Boramis’ method, got issued new keys upon registering the old ones (bought on g2buy) on Blizzard. I am open to playing Mon-Thurs after 6pm. Sunday anytime.
