Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

If this were an EA game /r/gaming would be foaming at the mouth right now.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago

I'm actually surprised at how little D3 threads there have been. Lol

[–]DullLelouch 1 point2 points ago

Well, i dunno how it went for NA, but Europe went fine. Yes it took a while to get online, but that is something you can't avoid, the only thing you can avoid is the servers crashing in a whole, and they did just that.

[–]theslyder 1 point2 points ago

You could avoid it by not forcing single player games to be online only.

[–]Liquid_Fire 0 points1 point ago

People are too busy playing/trying to play, probably.

[–]enum5345 0 points1 point ago

Probably because after 1 hour, a lot of people started getting in and are able to play.

[–]nail1r 13 points14 points ago

So much funnier if you understand finnish though..

[–]nail1r 0 points1 point ago

Well, you're in luck. This is the first sketch shittily translated, but you'll get the picture.

Jankko: You got it.

Phone rings.

Jankko: Jankko's concrete, Kalervo Jankko speaking.

Rautajoki: This is Rautajoki, hello.

Jankko: Yep.

Rautajoki: The guys have put too much hardener into the concrete.

Jankko: Yep.

Rautajoki: The shit has gotten stuck in the tank, it won't come out.

Jankko: Yep.

Rautajoki: I'm not fucking chopping it out from there again, this is the fourth time this has happened this year.

Jankko: Yep.

Rautajoki: I'm leaving, hey, I'm quitting, and I'm leaving the truck here.

Rautajoki: And Kalle, (he means Jankko)

Jankko: Yep.

Rautajoki: Fuck you. (Or smell shit, but it means the about the same thing)

Jankko: You got it.

It loses a lot of the weird, quirky and dry humor when translated like this. But yeah, I don't think you even need to understand the words in this sketch to get what's funny (their comedy is mostly based on stereotypes and funny accents, you can almost tell why we are known to love american comedy so much). Even the names of their characters are so fucking funny, usually without being overly childish.

[–]nail1r 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, you are right. I know that it loses a lot of the humor, but I think you get the picture from that translation, which was what I intended.

[–]KoNP 4 points5 points ago

What the fuck did I just watch? I have no idea what the other guys were yelling about but hearing it punctuated by "yeh...yeh...yeh..." was fucking awesome for some reason.

[–]Xahni13 1 point2 points ago

You sir, truly are AfineGentleman

[–]captainbananana 7 points8 points ago

error 300008......cannot create a character. DO U KNOW HOW I FEEL BEING THIS CLOSE?!

[–]sadistic4 12 points13 points ago

HAHAHA. YOU THINK IT ENDS THERE? I 300008 WHEN I LOGGED INTO MY CHARACTER. AND THEN IT LAGGED AND LAGGED AND LAGGED AND NOTHING HAPPENED BAHAHAHA

[–]H3000 2 points3 points ago

Wow, you do sound sadistic..

[–]knuckLeNT 2 points3 points ago

yes i do. and this is exactly how i feel

[–]Dadutchman 5 points6 points ago

Guess it's time for a frustration fap.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

Beat you to it. :D

[–]Davos_Kanter 2 points3 points ago

Dude, don't Jerk around here. This is a serious thread.

[–]shockfyre 4 points5 points ago

Always on DRM.

But it's Blizzard, so it's okay.

[–]notanothercirclejerk 9 points10 points ago

20 minute? Try and hour and 6 minutes.

[–]IComeToMakeAmends 3 points4 points ago

I know right. If he got in after 20 minutes he has absolutely no reason to bitch. I watched live-streams of people who get paid to play games like this ditch their friends and play alone because fuck error 37.

[–]scottmurphyisme 1 point2 points ago

exactly why i didnt stay up until 3am to play it

[–]SushiGradeNarwhal[S] 0 points1 point ago

I didn't get in after 20 minutes, i posted this after 20 minutes of trying to get it. I didn't get in for probably 70-80 minutes.

[–]hiruko100 0 points1 point ago

Hour and a half for me. But by golly it was worth it.

[–]non00b 4 points5 points ago

you could always play single player

OH WAIT YOU CAN'T

[–]9Flame 2 points3 points ago

How about 2 and a half hours. My poor boyfriend thought he'd never get on. He was SO excited for this, and then so sad. I felt bad. Buuuuut he's been on for almost 15 minutes now. So yay! XD

[–]Dynamaxion 1 point2 points ago

Named my character Error 38

[–]Pentabarfnord 1 point2 points ago

Fuck this, fuck that, fuck everything

[–]AMAduck 1 point2 points ago

wow DR Robotnic has a deskjob now?

[–]r3n4m3 0 points1 point ago

[–]PhysicallyFat 0 points1 point ago

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

[–]Zegrod 0 points1 point ago

Pffft. When Cataclysm came out, I couldn't connect for 2.5 hours. That sucked!

[–]graffiti81 0 points1 point ago

Whoa, blizzard not having enough hardware on an opening night? Who would have thought!?

Oh, wait, anybody who played WoW back in the day.

[–]bo87 0 points1 point ago

Dat Belly.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

That feel when you can't play a singleplayer game due to network connectivity issues.

Ya'll niggas gettin' what you paid for.

[–]DarKcS 0 points1 point ago

I'm glad I'm not going through this, as I can't even afford it yet.

[–]Mithindar 0 points1 point ago

I thought it would be more like this

[–]Here_And_Now 0 points1 point ago

Did you honestly expect anything else?

[–]dishwasherphobia 0 points1 point ago

A repost, but a well done repost.

[–]putrid_poo_nugget 0 points1 point ago

We get it.. You can't connect to Diablo like many others.

[–]Rathdrummer 2 points3 points ago

Fuck it, dude. I feel no sympathy. I'm not even getting the game until at least a few weeks from now, just due to finances.

Plus, give it maybe 3 days and this situation will be a hell-of-a-lot better.

Patience, man, patience...

[–]dan2737 2 points3 points ago

But I don't want to patience! I want it NOW!

[–]Rathdrummer 0 points1 point ago

Lol tough shit? :P

If only everyone had the same attitude as you. <3
