    Satirist, actor Jaspal Bhatti dies in road accident

    Very Sad news. :( I was shocked to see this. Flop Show will always remain a timeless show. It was genuinely funny, unlike the garbage that is on TV nowadays. Then there were his other famous stunts like asking for police protection because he was going to buy a kilo of onions! This guy a genius...

    2* Win 8 keys for 900 bucks from Dreamspark

    Hey, can you post the link from where you downloaded the 63-bit iso? The DreamSpark downloader is plain horrible. It managed to download the 32-bit version even though I had paused that, meanwhile the 64 bit is stuck at 67% since Sunday evening. :lol: I think once Win8 releases they might...

    2* Win 8 keys for 900 bucks from Dreamspark

    Yea, that is what I think will happen with me too. I'm not even planning to install it any time soon. Just want to make use of this offer while it lasts. Served me well with Win7 last time.

    2* Win 8 keys for 900 bucks from Dreamspark

    So, just to summarise, we get a total of 4 Win 8 keys, correct? 2 for English and 2 for Non-English? Anyone got more than 4? Also, since it is clarified that 32 bit keys can be used with 64 bit ISOs, can Non-English keys be used with English ISOs?

    Torchlight II - Discussion thread

    Been playing this since release. It is very addictive. The itemization is pretty amazing with tons of interesting affixes. Finished one co-op playthrough with me on Bezerker and my brother on Engineer. Bezerker is now on NG+. But decided to give my bezerker a break and now playing a solo...

    What was the first game you've bought?

    Yeah, I think you seriously lucked out with GFWL. Even with me, it was problematic only with GTA4 and Bioshock2. Worked sort of ok with other games, but I have very few games on GFWL anyway. But, the most serious problem I encountered was when my brother and a few of his classmates decided to...

    What was the first game you've bought?

    Oh yeah, I had one of those. I had my parents buy that for me way back in '93 or '94 for topping my class in 5th grade. It was branded as Lancer. The box said it had 100000 games, lol. I realized after hooking it up that it had only 7-8 games and half of them needed the gun accessory to play :(...

    Sleeping Dogs - Discussion Thread

    Wow, this game was like a surprise out of nowhere. Really epic game and I never paid any attention to it before release! Last week, I got the banhammer in D3 and there was still a long time for TL2 to release. So, I decided to download an ahem copy and give this a spin just to spend some time...

    Protest the increment in price by Milestone interactive for video games

    So, here is one interesting question for you/everyone. I am not disagreeing with your point, just asking a hypothetical question. Suppose, you had a device which could make an exact functional copy of the graphics card for no cost whatsoever, would you do it? You cannot afford to buy the...

    Protest the increment in price by Milestone interactive for video games

    This is offensive dude. Seriously, get off your high horse. Piracy is not an India-specific phenomenon. If anything, piracy is responsible for the existence of any kind of gaming scene in India. For the longest time these publishers were not even bothered to release their games in India. Piracy...

    Diablo III - Discussion Thread

    BTW, if anyone is interested, Path of Exile is in open beta this weekend(July 27-29). Read a lot about this game, mostly on D3 forums, so I'm planning to check it out and see how it is.

    Protest the increment in price by Milestone interactive for video games

    @quixand The purchasing power argument is not irrelevant. Rs. 1700/- is not a trivial amount in India, however you may look at it. Most people will definitely think twice before making an impulse purchase at this price-point. I am sure I wont be buying anything at this price unless it is some...

    Protest the increment in price by Milestone interactive for video games

    Seriously, no point in comparing USD prices with INR prices. You have to take purchasing power in consideration. $60 is pretty big amount even for a decently paid person like me. It would pay for 2 months of my daily bus fare or 2 months of my Internet bill. The new price point mentioned above...

    Protest the increment in price by Milestone interactive for video games

    Idiots. If they increase the price, then people will just go back to pirating on the PC and hacking their consoles and playing backups. Especially people like me who don't play too many online games. At least on the PC, we can still look forward to Steam sales and sales by other sites like GMG...

    Diablo III - Discussion Thread

    This is a really fun exploit. Like Krugur said, Blizz is not in a hurry to fix this. This exploit was actually found by the Chinese 1 month back. Wizards are now making crazy achievements. Like killing Inferno Diablo with NO armor on! LOL! Facerolling Inferno with 380 MF. Also yea everyone is...

    Diablo III - Discussion Thread

    ^I am in the same situation in Act2 Inferno. Lost count how times I died. :( Got into a public game last night hoping to do some progress on quest. Got into a group with 3DHs and 1 Wiz. Everyone died so many times and I broke my armor twice. 27K repair cost each time. Finally rage-quit and went...

    Haha.. even CNN is reporting on Diablo 3 now. "Is 'Diablo III' a broken game or just too hard?" Anyway, looks like my days of Diablo 3 are over now. I cannot login after yesterdays patch. :( Crashes to desktop upon login. Apparently, many others who were using the workaround to play in english...

    hehe.. FRESH MEAT!! Seriously though, since its patch-tuesday today, I decided to look up some strategies/guides on how to take on Butcher as a DH. Well, saw a few videos, still not confident I can take him. :( Meanwhile, I'll just continue with Act2 for now. But, I actually enjoyed Act1...
