I experience a similar effect when I play Minecraft. I'm only good for about an hour before it starts to set in. If I continue to play it only gets worse.

I never have figured out any game settings to alleviate this issue. I have. however, found some remedies that help me to get my minecraft fix!

Medications like Dimenhydrinate (the brand name id Dramamine, but if you look/ask for the drug name I just listed, you can get it at half the cost from your local pharmacy) are a big help for me.

Another thing that I've found to work well for me personally are Sea Bands. These little guys are awesome. They apply pressure to a pressure point on your wrists. I don't pretend to understand why they work, but they do. It is different for each person though so they may be more or less effective for your mom. Some advice I would offer you though is if she does try them, put them on like 15-20 minutes before she plays. For me, it seemed to help more when I wore them in advance.

One last piece of advice I can offer is in regards to screen/monitor size and full-screen mode. One of the things that helps me with Minecraft when I'm not using one of the other remedies is to alter the screen mode. I have a 24" monitor that I play on so when I'm planning on playing Minecraft, I put the game in windowed mode and resize the window to about 1/2 the screen size. Having a smaller screen seems to help with how quickly the nausea sets on for me.

Minecraft is the only game in my collection that makes me sick and it drives me nuts because it's one of my favorites. I hope that my tips can help you play with your mom! I would like to add though that I'm certainly not a doctor, so take my tips with that in mind. And your mom should probably read the warnings/consult her doctor before she takes the pills.

I used this mouse for 3 years before I replaced it (60+ hours a week use on average). It's a lesser known brand, but I've enjoyed the mouse a lot, and it's a bit cheaper than the big names (Logitech, Corsair, Razer, and the like). I know you said it takes awhile to save up money for splurges on things like this, but it might be easier to save for since it's a little cheaper. I'm glad you all enjoy your time playing the game!

You've clearly done your research so good job there. I've played the game on a laptop since launch as well, and just like you, the performance started out great, and dropped after a while.

Great ventilation doesn't prevent a dust buildup over time. Try compressed air. You might be surprised by the results.

Have you checked your temperatures when the performance tanks? I've been using my laptop with a cooling pad for a year now and it has helped a lot over long gaming sessions. Check your temps to narrow down the issue further. Good luck!

I'VE READ OVER 50 BOOKS IN THIS GENRE OVER THE PAST YEAR. SOME ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS, BUT I DO LIKE THEM. THINK SWORD ART ONLINE, BUT A BOOK, AND NOT WEEB. GIVE THE GAM3 A TRY, IT'S A FREE READ HERE (ALSO AVAILABLE ON AMAZON IF YOU WANT TO SUPPORT THE AUTHOR).

Book of Cain is the official lore book. It came out around Diablo 3 so it has the D3 logo, but that's just for advertising the game. I got it a while back and it's pretty awesome!

Edit: If you want to save some money you could always see what offers there are on ebay. I got my copy there for like $6-7

Logitech G930

Has good battery life, is quite comfortable, great (7.1!) audio quality, and lots of neat little features (mic mutes when flipped up, volume and multimedia controls on the earpiece, other neat things). Normally it's quite expensive, but it's not uncommon for them to come down a bit in price. I think I got mine on sale somewhere for around $120. Also, the wireless range is pretty great; I can listen without issue through several doors on the other side of my apartment.

This is what I went with.

The blue yeti is the best bang for your buck. It has a few different settings and such that really let you get the sound you want, even if you want to record multiple people. I don't actually use it for any production use, I just really dislike sounding poorly when I play D&D online with my friends lol.

Don't forget the pop filter either. They are usually under $10 and help a surprising amount with the audio. Hope to see more content on this sub from you!

Before D3 it was fucking epic. Some of the best I have ever encountered in three plus decades of gaming.

After D3 it's still above average and very good, just a lot more cliche and a little less coherent.

FYI, get the giant Diablo Archive book of short stories. It is by far some of the best sword and sorcery I have ever read. Virtually nothing else comes close. Just the first story alone blew my mind the first time I read it and still ranks as one of my all time favorite things to have ever read.

Without delving hugely into it, I'd like to recommend you check out Storm of Light by Nate Kenyon. It covers the events between Diablo III and Reaper of Souls and you get some perspective on what being the Aspect of Wisdom means through Tyrael's eyes (after he takes up the mantle at the end of D3).

It's not wholly unmaddening, and Tyrael spends a fair amount of the story attempting to piece together Malthael's thoughts and motivations behind his disappearance. Probably my personal favorite of the Diablo novels.

Diablo has a surprising amount of lore, I've just recently started to dive in as well. Some really cool fully illustrated lore book can be found on Amazon and they're awesome.

The Book of Cain

The Book of Tyrael

The Book of Adria

As others have said here, PC version with the expansion is the way to go. Dunno if it factors into your purchase or not, but Amazon currently has hard copies of the base game expansion for 50% off. You'll have to wait for them until March 6th and 7th respectively if I read correctly, but that's a grand total of $40 and well worth it.

Diablo: Book Of Cain is an excellent summary of the lore of the Diablo series. It also sets the stage for Diablo III very well. It's written from Deckard Cain's perspective as a sort of compendium of Horadric knowledge, as well as tales from other scholars and scribes that he has sought in his lifetime.

Some of the wiki pages you can find on the 'net are pretty good but you have to remember that they're written by people interpreting things they've seen or read and are not always absolutely canon.

The novels are pretty good but they mostly don't really relate to the games themselves. The Sin War trilogy is probably my favourite story set in Sanctuary.

Today, Jay Wilson tweeted a photo of the "Real" Diablo 3 box. The thing is, that is the very same box Amazon has been displaying for weeks, if not months.

So I can safely say this is going to be the box for the collectors edition. It seems to fit the Tyrael theme, and contrast nicely with the Diablo box.

Here is the listing for Diablo III: Collectors Edition


Thoughts?

$29.70 http://www.amazon.com/Diablo-III-Book-Tyrael/dp/1608872793 free shipping

Any one can find a better deal?

Here is tyrael! (I got book of cain from Barnes and Noble for like 30 or something a while back)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1608872793/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1420403397&sr=8-1&dpPl=1&dpID=51WVfYtghrL&ref=plSrch&pi=AC_SY200_QL40

I have the logitech g700 and I like it a lot. I don't know about it for CM wiz specifically but I really like the feel of it and the button layout.

By the way, you probably already know this but just in case you don't: for a CM wiz you can just hold down the keyboard buttons for freeze, armor, and the explosion rather than pressing them repeatedly.

If you want some more on the development of Diablo I highly recommned the book Stay Awhile and Listen. It goes really in depth on how the game was made and the relationship between Blizzard North and Blizzard. It's a really great read.

They wanted to introduce new lore to the world of Sanctuary. It's traditionally known that the paladins (D2) pushed westward under Rakkis in a crusade to spread the Zakarum faith and ended up founding Westmarch. Crusaders are a special forces unit of paladins that instead pushed east on their own mission to become "pure" (and rid the taint left behind by Mephisto) in faith.

I'm interested to see the banter between the Crusader and the Templar, whose order was basically risen from the ashes of the Paladin order (and they view themselves as a "pure" continuation of paladins), but is not officially sanctioned by the Zakarum church.

More information in the Book of Tyrael.

I have another Logitech mouse that I like, but it's getting a bit worn out after a couple years now. I'll probably get a Logitech G700 shortly before or after D3 releases. Plenty of buttons so I could keybind everything to the mouse if I wanted to for ease of play.

Ditto. Here's a more helpful link ;) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0050SZC5U

Read the Book of Cain it tells the story from the creation of the universe to Diablo III vanilla, the next is the book of tyrael, I didnt read it yet

Book of Cain Amazon : https://www.amazon.com/Diablo-III-Book-Cain-Deckard/dp/1608878023/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1493312983&sr=8-1&keywords=book+of+cain

Book of Tyrael Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/DIABLO-III-TYRAEL-BLIZZARD-ENTERTAINME/dp/1608872793/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1493312983&sr=8-2&keywords=book+of+cain

You are!

I can only RECOMMEND the Sin War book series. It deals with the whole stuff that is referenced in the game (Sanctuary, The Sin War itself, Angels, Demons, Lillith, Inarius, etc.), that can be found in the Lore Books in Act 4.

It's really an amazing read, not expensive and also not that long.

In addition to that, it would be a great preperation for Reaper of Souls, as Tyrael and Malthael are also mentioned in the books!

Book 1 - Birthright

Book 2 - Scales of the Serpent

Book 3 - The Veiled Prophet


They really are an amazing read! Also check out Storm of Light , the Bridge-Book to explain what happened after Diablo 3 and before Reaper of Souls!

Nice. This is what I'm using.

These 3 would be a good place to start, if you're a visual type learner:

You will get legendary that matches your level, but honestly it's not worth it. Just get to max level ASAP. The end-game meta is highly dependent on level 70 (RoS max level) gear. These are specific items/sets that you do not get in original Diablo 3. But if you've played any Diablo games, you know that getting to max level is really when the game starts. With 2.2 on the horizon, the amount of new 7 piece sets and legendary items will keep growing and you will be missing out on an insane amount of content w/o the expansion. Just found a link for RoS which is currently on sale at Amazon for $28

My roommates like this mouse. 18 programmable buttons on the mouse.

The Sin War trilogy is indeed a nice intro, as it details the creation of Sanctuary. After you've read those, I'd recommend reading the Book of Cain and Book of Tyrael, as they formalize the entire lore a little bit. All other books are stories set in the Diablo universe and more or less unrelated to the games, albeit they are great reading. My personal favourites are The Black Road and Moon of the Spider.

TL;DR:

I would read the books in the following order:

The Sin War Trilogy

• Birthright
  
• Scales of the serpent
  
• The veiled prophet
  
  Lore books
  
  
• Book of Cain
  
• Book of Tyrael
  
  Novels
  
  
• Legacy of blood
  
• The black road
  
• Kingdom of shadow
  
• Moon of the spider (this features a char from Kingdom of shadow, so read that first!)
  
• Demonsbane (short story, can be found in this omnibus)
  
  I can't speak for any of the more recent books, as I have not read them yet :)
  
  Enjoy lad!

You want his blood type info and dick size while I am at it? Geez... Sorry to rain on your Wyatt Trump rant. The best answers to your question could possibly be found in this book https://www.amazon.com/Stay-Awhile-Listen-Legendary-Video-Game-ebook/dp/B00G8UL474

" On August 1, 2005, Blizzard Entertainment announced the closure of Blizzard North. A key reason for the closure was Blizzard North's poor development of what was to be Diablo III which did not meet the expectations of Vivendi. Former Blizzard North staffers including Joseph Lawrence, Wyatt Cheng and Matt Uelmen subsequently appeared in the credits of Blizzard's next retail release, World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade. The work of former Blizzard North artist Phroilan Gardner was also featured in editions of World of Warcraft: The Trading Card Game around the same time. "

Amazon's marketplace vendors have them starting at $31.99, if that's any help.

Link to prices as of the time of this post

Many of them will have an additional shipping charge, but you may be able to shave a few bucks off even after shipping.

Amazon jacked up the prices But they have them

I used this when I was trying to get the base game cheap. Add a watch price and it will send you an email when it hits it. It is just the Amazon site though.

its on amazon

I think I can just buy it from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Diablo-III-Reaper-Souls-Pc/dp/B00FENJVOE

Amazon has it on sale right now for $30

Amazon had listed them as sold out, but apparently they've now got more allocated to them.

No. Amazon UK doesnt seem to show it but on US site, [Link](

It shows the option for physical then for digital code. Digital code shoots up to $40 whereas the physical is still less. I dunno man. Same with Xbox1 games. I got the Bestbuy membership, 20% of physical games, no discount on digital.
You would think there would be incentive for less overhead but it's not there.

http://www.amazon.com/Diablo-III-Collectors-Pc/dp/B0050SZC5U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323218249&sr=8-1

?

All I'm finding is the standard Diablo 3, not the collector's edition.

edit: Apparently I am an idiot.

D3 for $20.

D3 RoS for $35.

Protip: Blizzard store is almost always the most expensive price. Search around before buying from there.

Does anyone know if it we pre-order it at Amazon or Gamestop will it be sitting for us at home on release date or will they not ship it till the release date. Along with that would I be able to just pick it up at Gamestop?

http://www.amazon.com/Diablo-III-Collectors-Edition-Pc/dp/B0050SZC5U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334785031&sr=8-1
this is where i got the price

I don't really think there was a lot of story in the older Diablo games, especially if you didn't go looking really really hard for it. A lot of the things referred to in D3 are detailed much more in the book series, though, in addition to the Books of Cain and Tyrael, which I see you've already been referred to.
