sorry Matt and John, I took what Matt said about the tweet referencing the last show as a shutting down of the tweet. It sounded like it was getting disregarded because Michelle was not there to reply. What you don't know is that the tweeter sent that to Michelle last week first, then to John during the show tonight. If it were me I would feel like my contribution got trashed without consideration. edit: I'm listening again to the tick treatment story and Matt's reaction to the doctor's opinion. I know people who got Lyme and it is debilitating, and I know people who were trying to determine if they are affected, and the symptoms are not persistent or clear compared with other diseases. John was trying to explain this and Matt was scoffing the whole time. It's okay to be ignorant, but not to be so confident about it. double edit: now that I am thinking about it, this is what really use to annoy me about John a few years ago. Hah.

As for on-disc DLC, John is right that the early day-one DLC was a little more innocent, in that there was apparently content that did not make the production deadline and had to be added later, and was beefy enough to warrant a charge. Now the norm is that there has to be DLC for any game, and if it is ready pre-release, then it can be loaded on the disc to be unlocked at a premium. I could live with that as a legitimate business maneuver if the content was supplemental like horse armor and I would just not purchase it. However, if a pertinent story element such as extra characters for ME3 were on the disc and the publisher wanted to charge to complete an abridged story, then I sense some greed. It's like buying a roasted chicken that is missing it's legs at the cost of a whole chicken, then buying the drumsticks at an additional cost. Elements for the product were removed then sold later. Now you have paid for something twice.

for anyone getting into Diablo for the first time, I recommend this article.
http://wow.joystiq.com/2012/05/14/learn-the-basics-of-diablo-3-gameplay/

I read it before I launched the game and felt that it really helped me approach the experience effectively.

Thanks for filling in for me guys, listening now. Hopefully I will be there next week to give my opinion on Diablo, etc. Went to the doctor this morning and they ordered more blood work for tomorrow, blah.

This lyme disease talk is very educational, BTW  Smiley maybe John should tackle one communicable disease a week.

Best quote of the show: "I'm not mean, I'm not Michelle, come on"

After listening to your Podcast I think that the following site would be a big help when deciding how good your video card is, it even has links to place's to buy them the cheapest.

http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html

PS Matt your video card is very low on this list...the min requirements for diablo III are on cards that score around 519 and yours scores 445.

Yeah, I remember buying this computer knowing it wouldn't be a good gaming rig. I can't justify spending  the money on a pure gaming PC now, so I think I'll just have to hope and pray Diablo III comes to consoles.

Thanks for sharing, Andx.

Matt, my card is below that list and can run Diablo III with shadows and antialiasing turned off. I can almost run TOR but at like 10fps. If you really wanted to play you can take a decent chance, but if you also want it to look like a 2012-new game you would have to wait.

You wouldn't have to buy a hole new rig, just upgrade the graphics card. The GTX 460 scored 2,370 on that list and is only $140.
