Just for a few of you that may not be aware of the downloaded installer issue thats hitting a few of the regions, EU and a couple of others require you to download a new installer from this location, and point it to the directory you downloaded the original one to. You should see it 'check' rather than download the 8 gigs all the way to the end and then download the missing 50mb of files from the packed installer.

http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/blog/4410912/

Had 3 mates fall prey to 'broken installs' that were not aware of this extra download. hope everyone has an awesome launch :D 3 and a half hours to go!!

I had this issue with the installer twice but rather than getting the new installer I just forced it to check all the files and it fixed it and installed perfectly. The only thing is that it seems to think I'm European/British (I think they gave me the wrong installer on Battlenet. My installer was called enGB rather than enUS) and it says in the client the game unlocks for me at 00:00 CEST, which is in an hour and a bit, rather than when it should for me, which is 00:00 PDT.

I'm just going to complete the conversation.

Parents: Have fun in prison, you piece of shit.

Boy: I promise to buttfuck as many of my fellow prisoners as humanly possible. Maybe more.

Parents: Dayum, You sure is a hard motherfucker from the streets!

This is fun! 
 

Parents: Remember son, bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks.

Boy:  I know mom, I'll avoid Eric Wright as much as possible.

 Parents: Just remember to stick with Deathrow and things will be just fine.

Boy: Don't worry, Mom and Dad. I promise to only make mistakes you never made.

I might get to play in 3 hours (At like 4PM for me) from now instead of at 2AM like I had figured out. For some reason it thinks I'm in Europe, it defaulted everything to British and has me defaulted to the Europe server. It also says in the "Breaking News" bar that the server unlocks at 12AM CEST instead of 12AM PDT like it should given that I'm in Canada. How odd. It might be because I have a registered European SC2 account on my Battlenet ID along side my North American account.

I clicked the "most posts" linky thing on the first page, saw Hitman's paranoid status, and started laughing hysterically. That guy was INSANE.

This is one of the few cases where the P2P part of the Blizzard downloader is actually good. I'm getting ~10MB/s. Usually for older games you have to disable P2P or it'll take a week to download.

@Seppli: No it's launching at midnight PDT

That's what is says on the Diablo 3 site (well, 12:01 PDT on the 15th to be exact), so like 2AM for me, so I won't be playing until tomorrow. 
 
Edit: Great it gave me an error during install and now I have to redownload, WONDERFUL. Meh, it's already 1/7th done and has around 10 minutes left, at least it's redownloading fast.

Just saw this on my Winamp and had to post it. This song is hell of Summer Jam, lyrics are nonsensical (look up the translation, they're goofy) but it's crazy fun to listen to.

This is the only proper response to a Summer Jam thread:

Is this acceptable as well?

I would say so, yes. 
 
Also, I remember from an old drive stream Ryan and Jeff said basically all G-Funk qualifies as a Summer Jam, and I gotta agree.

Most people seem to be crucifying the OP or claiming he's a troll, but I think he's right. Modern multiplayer shooters are awful. They hold your hand and give you shiny new things as rewards to come back for instead of giving you truly rewarding gameplay that makes you actually want to play the game. Then again, the whole trend of having to have incentives built into games so people will continue to play them is why I haven't almost any new games to come out in the last year or so. If the multiplayer in your game is good I will keep playing it, if you have to give me a reason to come back other than good gameplay then you are doing it wrong.
