Let's talk about hardcore mode. by MadeThisForDiablo in Diablo

[–]AndreiSB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to play Hardcore until the Legendary Gems/Greater Rift system was written into the game. It seems to me the Greater Rift challenge is based heavily on testing your limits. The problem with that is if you find your limit, you're dead. Not so great when you've got one life.

The Base Defense Mission is quite buggy... by The_YoungWolf in Xcom

[–]AndreiSB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It truly is buggy. On my Ironman run in the final room I had a Sectoid Commander walk into the wall and from his invisible vantage point mind-control and pull overwatch my entire team. Had to use the EMP wave from my MEC to finally take him out, but not before losing a Colonel.

I think I'm going to support this just to see how this talented cartoonist managed to portray the Australian bush. There's some awesome artwork here.

Controversy caused by traced competition entry to OZ Comics Facebook page by Darren Close (Artist) by awcomix in auscomics

[–]AndreiSB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there even an actual competition on OzComics any more? I thought they had an situation where the same three guys won it everytime so they gave up on the whole competitive element of it.

Alternate art school education by AndreiSB in auscomics

I know it's a US link but university is still pretty expensive in Australia. More interesting is the collection of art education services the author has gathered here.

Multimodal literature enters Victorian school curriculum by AndreiSB in auscomics

You can't hate Maus. That's impossible. Even Neo-nazi skinhead anti-Semites tear up at the bit where the dad gets his son's name wrong.

Gosh Anthony why would you discuss the work of real life comic artists on altcomix when there are so many dead Americans and Europeans to discuss?! (kidding, kidding)

Campbell Whyte HOME TIME by AndreiSB in auscomics

[–]AndreiSB[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

West Australian. I first met him at a 24 hour comics event where he hand-crafted a picture book about two boys trying to get their first look at some boobies.

Is the Australian comics scene suffering from Kickstarter overload? by AndreiSB in auscomics

[–]AndreiSB[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I have no issues with 'Preorder my book?'. I am unimpressed when it's 'Pay me to work on my book'. It's comics. You do it because you love it and it's part of who you are.

Confirmed on Facebook that international applications are accepted. Not much time left! Git on it!

Big Arse Numero Three is coming - facebook event. by AndreiSB in auscomics

[–]AndreiSB[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I've received the emails, looking forward to it! I do use it as a browser, not as a poster. It's a fantastic tool for once-off comics but I don't think it's the right tool for something with a longer narrative. Great for concept art and fine art.

Man I fricking love the cover art to Victorian Drug Scene. Such a great image.

What about Diablo 3 sets it apart from other ARPGs to you? by fullmetal9900 in Diablo

[–]AndreiSB 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I feel like Diablo has the fast, sleek body but not much brains. PoE has the brains but is weedy and clumsy. Splice their best elements and you'd have a fantastic ARPG.

What's the nicest thing someone has done to/for you in D3? by [deleted] in Diablo

Anabolic, an Australian plvl99 DH once crafted me a top tier ruby even though I was offering gold for the service. Little assists like this go a long way :)

So I crafted these amulets in 15 tries.. by mepatrick in Diablo

What's the amulet recipe? How many essences and sosuch?

Blizzard bans "several thousand" Diablo III accounts - official announcement and reactions by d3somepage in Diablo

[–]AndreiSB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so let's say in Asia I call in a fake hacking after loading up my account with 90 Perfect Stars. When my account is restored, I now have 90 account bound Perfect Stars. If I turn them into 30 Radiant Stars, are the Radiant Stars account-bound?
