Evening Reading
by Nick Breckon, Sep 09, 2009 6:00pm PDTSpent the latter half of today making a dent in my PAX interviews. Have some pretty good stuff coming up. Spoke with the fantastic gentlemen working on Torchlight, League of Legends, Elemental and The Secret World, for instance. But first, tonight, we're talking L4D2 with Chet.
Not that he isn't a fantastic gentleman. That came out wrong.

Price is high because I'm in Canadia. I'm wondering about the video card, motherboard, RAM, and CPU. I'd be going from an Opteron 165 with 2GB Ram and a Geforce 7900 that I've had for just under 4 years.
Comments greatly appreciated.

Is D2D any good? I've not used it before. How does it compare to steam?

Jesus, my dreams were fucking tripped out last night. Everything I said appeared as giant words behind me, and so many fireworks and Blue Meanies!
So what I'm saying is: GOTY. Until Brutal Legend comes out.

Had a few good games last night, including a nice and easy pubstomp with colorado. And then me and my brother joined Lexi, Lumpy and the first male carrier of the PMS syndrome Drakky. I knew things would get ugly when i read things like pro-game and single draft. I am far from ready for that shit.
Then we got a totally imbalance SD setup so things were decided at the picks anyway. We then proceeded with Lumpy blowing a switch in his house (disc) and Drakky sporting his PMS bitching about his retarded team.
Bummer.
But... even though i sucked gigantic monkey balls on Thunderbringer i've learned a few lessons. One of them is that i need to step up my last hit / deny game. Learned a lot from watching Lexi and Mrs. Drakky play. So practice practice practice.
What did you learn?

I made a Warrior, soon to be Gladiator, to mess around with, since I don't want to burn myself out on the leveling content for retail. I forgot how ridiculously efficient Warriors are 1-9. All you need is a set of vendor armor and a green shield, then you take very little damage.

How the hell do I change my audio from speakers to headphones? I used to be able to just go to control panel > sound and audio devices > switch to headphones. Finally found the sound options (they're actually where they should be!), but no option to switch to headphones.
