Oh, yeah, having a pair of boat shoes makes it all right. Smiley: dubious

I'd love to get custom made shoes. Although I sincerely doubt I'll ever be able to spend a few thousand bucks on pair of shoes.

I get most of my dressier shoes from Rockport, and end up paying around $70 per pair. I also buy camping shoes from wherever.

Shoe tailoring?

I totally agree, though. It looks so horrible and is so noticeable when people run around in clothes that are obviously not fitted, especially for formal wear. I'm gonna go on a spree, buy loads of cloth and get a few more suits tailored next week as I only have 3 I can actually wear in tropical weather. Well, 4, but one of them is salmon/cyan with a couple of metric tonnes of gold embroidery, so doesn't work for me.

I have black dress shoes for work and weddings and my R.M.Williams Boots with jeans for pretty much everything else. (Except my Ugg Boots for around the house). Smiley: grin

I'm going to be wearing slippers for the next few days instead of shoes on account of me almost breaking my little toe the other day.

Everyone at work is jealous.

My call is that it's the achievement spam that's causing battle.net to fail. Everything else would scale easily, as it's all instance based.

With regards to shoes, I've got 2 pairs. These for work, and a pair of skate shoes that are 2 sizes too small because finding size 16 shoes that I feel comfortable wearing is a tough task, and my skate shoes are begging to suffer, as are my feet. My work boots are comfortable as hell, but they're getting chewed through because of all the acid that spills about at work.

I wouldn't doubt it. I don't know why they implemented that as a feature anyhow. Don't get me wrong, I care about my friends, but I don't give a **** if they just reached level 10 or whatever.

Apparently, Blizzard language-locked D3 within regions, but didn't bother to inform anyone beforehand. So if you don't speak the language of the region you're living in, you're screwed. If you live in China, statistically you're probably screwed (they locked all of China to Traditional Chinese).

Right? It's insane. Region locks already suck, but to add a CLIENT language restriction on top of that? It just doesn't make sense.

I mean, say Maz decided he wanted to play in English. Tough luck if he didn't buy the International Version, which I assume means connecting to servers that are always stupidly remote.

[EDIT]

From what I can tell, the server you connect to is based on your language, but you can't use a client that differs from the language of your Battle.net account.

The article doesn't mention Europe--I'm guessing you can jump between languages there. I'm guessing this is ridiculously bad oversight in the Asian market due to Eurocentrism on Blizzard's part. Actually, what SEEMS to be the case is that both the European and US versions have complete language customization available, but Asian versions are all completely locked.

What's even stupider is that they didn't say this ANYWHERE when people purchased their games.

I'm pretty sure the client you buy here is English. The installer says "enGB," anyway.

Maz, you hopping on the D3 train? I'm level 40 now, rocking a Demon Hunter.
We should probably have a D3 Aposematic reuinion.

It was pretty rough yesterday but it seems solid today.

So far my favourite part was the butcher fight. That was a challenge. The difficulty scaling feels about right so far, I'm in the middle of act 2 (level 19)

I'm level 5. Smiley: grin

I was surprised yesterday when I logged in and had one of my friends join me in a party. I was all, wtf? Then he explained to me that since I have my game set up as public, that people on my friends list could do that. Then another of our friends joined, and then Astarin joined us too. It was pretty fun! We rescued Cain, and that was about it before I had to leave. On a side note, the female witch doctor's voice is very Jamaican sounding, and awesome.

Oh, and I would advise Digg and Maz against playing that particular class. One of the first skills you get is throwing a jar, which then explodes on contact and releases spiders everywhere to kill **** for you. But you also get zombie dogs and fire bats, which are pretty damn cool too.
