TORCHLIGHT On Sale

[filkertom]

If you've got a PC, and you loved the Diablo games, today is your lucky day. Torchlight, the follow-up created by members of the original Diablo teams, is on sale at Direct 2 Drive for only $3.75, today only. This is my all-time favorite click-fest RPG, with lots of monsters, randomized levels, beautiful 3D graphics, superb sound, and the option to retire characters and pass on their goodies to your next character. And, while the mod community isn't thriving as much as it was for awhile, there are a fair amount of goodies out there (and a superb utility called TorchLeech that finds them and installs them for you with no hassle).

A Big Mac, or a gorgeous and fun game you'll play for months? The choice is yours.

(While D2D doesn't carry the Mac version, it does exist, and it's only $14.95 from the publisher, Runic Games.)

What are you playing lately?

Mostly playing World of Warcraft on one of my many, many characters. I'll admit it, I'm an altoholic. :)

still enjoying Kingdom of Loathing, also still playing Ghost Trappers and Mousehunt on facebook with fannish friends I don't get to see often enough

Addicted to iOS games. When I'm not playing Battleheart I'm playing DungeonRaid when I'm not playing PocketGod when I'm not busy with PuzzleQuest when I'm not spending too much time with Sword & Poker and so on and so on.

My MMORPG and DucKon oh and my new RPG group are taking up most of my free time. I'm just happy SVU is a rerun tonight.

Oh wait, I'm also listening to the entire run of Tek Diff (a very funny podcast). It goes back years and I'm up to late 2007 now.

Problematic that I can't make it run even on a differing computer. It's annoying. Something about a save file on SteamCloud being newer than something else on the computer.

Lovelovelove torchlight. When my father was first given to my sis and my custody, my husband found Torchlight for me. He has since regularily sat me down in front of the game and told me to kill things to destress.

Minecrack. It's shocking how addictive Minecraft is, and I'm not even trying to build stuff. Just delving the depths, seeking diamond and lapis and wondering how I'm going to get water from here to there to make obsidian. =)

I bought it a while back but my Macbook only has an Intel GMA950 video card and is running 10.5.8 so the OpenGL version is too low to run the game until I update to 10.6.

Unfortunately when that happens I will need to re-buy my Quicktime Pro _again_ as well as a bunch of other apps that don't run properly in Snow Leopard.

So looks like no Torchlight for me right now...

Thanks for the announcement - I went and got a copy. I like it, cute style and all. (Besides I like the lynx my current char. has as a pet.) I just hope I can reinstall it without hassle when I clean off the disc and reload my OS next week...

Hey Tom, are you familiar with:

I just discovered this one recently. It's dealing with some older games, but cheap!
