Meanwhile at Blizzard:

"They'll rage, but in the end it'll just make them want the game more!"

"Yessss. Yeeesss. Bwahahaha!"

That awkward moment when you have an awkward moment and you'd like to post it,

But everyone posted their awkward moments posts and it would be awkward to post your awkward moment post.

Well life is a single player game, but once those servers overload, you're pretty much screwed.

Hm... I guessing it's something like Disgaea 4 then?

I mean, you're like, playing the game and then pirates arrive in your game and annihilate you

Looks like Blizzard went to Artix Camp for the summer and actually learned something!

Too bad that something learned wasn't good...

That Awkward Moment: when Shawn puts something up for a game you've yet to try.

Well considering that this is somewhat relevant, I'm just going to inform you guys of some cool information I got.

Check this out:
Nintendo (in Japan) is planning on making Dragon Quest X: The Five Tribes for the Nintendo Wii AND Wii U and it's going to be similar to Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies but with multiplayer co-op and a single player campaign BUT...

You have to have internet access to play most of the main story.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Now, if that's not a problem, here's the kicker: Nintendo is debating on wether or not to make it a monthly fee to play.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

On the positive side? You can gain experience even when not playing because other players can "hire" your character to join their party and you'll gain experience the next time you're online. I have also read that the game will be cross compatible.

-_- steam lets you play offline, sign in once to get the game up and running, afterwards you can be in offline mode and it doesn't care. Steam likes its update baby crack, yes it does, yes it does.
