Never played an AC game, but:

Quest For Glory 1 - 5 at GOG: http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/quest_for_glory

Nice. Those are some great games. I've borrowed without returning and then bought most of those games a couple of times over in the past 15 years. Third time's a charm, most likely. Can't not get a good game off GoG. It makes my nefarious gaming youth seem cleansed, somehow.

[Drake1588]

Zeus and its expansion Poseidon are also new releases on GoG too. We were talking about those a month or two ago on this thread.

[tycoonheart]

So who all got D3?

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

Installer downloaded and ready to go.

[tycoonheart]

Same here. Kinda want to finish the NJ/NY game, but I want to head to bed early and be up at 3AM.

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

Haven't decided if I'll try to do the all-nighter, or the pregame nap.

I'm guessing I may get a black eye and broken nose if I have an alarm going off at near 3AM for a computer game, though.

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

For those that are unaware, if you did the digital download of D3, you can launch the game and watch the opening cinematic right now, just can't log on to Battlenet. A good way to make sure all your drivers are sufficient.

[BrooklynCapsFan]

I decided to wait until Memorial Day weekend to download D3 so that I could play it on my terms and really enjoy it.

I cracked almost immediately. Downloading right now.

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

If that were me, there'd be the Costco-size bottle of Maalox on top of the pile.

[Carlzner]

Yoohoo? Questionable decision there for sure.

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

And the servers are crushed. This is why you don't have a simultaneous worldwide launch. Morons.

[tycoonheart]

Haaaaaaaaah. I thought you weren't gonna wake up early.

Yeah, I'm stuck at character creation.

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

I stayed up. So now I'm grumpy.

[tycoonheart]

I'm finally in.

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

I hate you.

[Chimaera]

hahaha.

I knew it would be this way.

I'll get it eventually I guess. Last bit of beta was better. made a few tweaks. But I'm in no rush to try and deal with the madness that will be launch.

[Drake1588]

Wait, this is launch day?

Should have everything pre-installed and ready to go, I think.

[yay]

Really irritated that they are forcing people who want to play a single player game only to deal with their server issues. Down for maintenance..

Let me choose single player and the option of NEVER playing a multiplayer game (with the character). I'd do it in a heartbeat.

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

So, finally got in about five minutes after I declared my hate for tycoonheart.

Up to level 17 in act 2.

Really digging it so far.

you level fast, i just got in and i'm waiting on the loading screen....

[BrooklynCapsFan]

Really glad I didn't take a vacation day. I'm getting the error that boots you from the server every 3 minutes. Come on patch!

Weird. I was on pretty much all day (Up to lvl 27). They did do server maintenance from 4:30-6:30, so they were down then.
