Back on topictrolling wrote:The contemporary use of the term first appeared on Usenet groups in the late 1980s. It is widely thought to be a contraction of the phrase "trolling for suckers", itself derived from the sport fishing technique of trolling. The latter can be compared with trawling, of which it is a near homophone.
The best is when a self proclaimed D3 internet God comes to a LAN..."dudes what is up my settings must be fubared I can't hit anything" um noobness accurates are on. you need to shoot the ship not the barn!!
Yet, when LAN actually happens you will call somebody a mass driver ***** or even vauss.BUBBALOU wrote: Back on topic

Heh just kidding. That happens to everyone on their first LAN experience. Accurates on LAN is to save all the newbs who would otherwise die every shot from a skilled player's fusion cannon(not to mention MD). I caught on after a game or so of BI3 at Chilan, however having had almost no experience playing with low ping on-line at the time of Chilan in 04, there was clearly room to improve. Really the best way to get really good at LAN IMO is to play it as much as I play on-line, which will never happen for me. Since I don't see any LANs in the future for D3, on-line play is all that matters now(and it doesn't matter that much, heh heh).
Sirius, seeing you as a mostly D1/D2 player, it's natural for those to be your favorite LANs. Also, because D1 and D2 on-line suck so much, playing on LAN is probably a huge relief I don't know if you ever checked the ratings for D1, D2 and D3 from Gamespot or any other reputable gaming site, but D3 has the highest score by far (9.4 I believe vs D1 at like an 8.0)
Um... actually I should qualify that a bit.
This is mostly from the reactions I got from others about them. There were a lot more 'wow' type comments from people going to D1 LANs than I ever heard from D3.
Personally, I've only been to one LAN... ever. D3 was out at that point, but the handful of other people I was playing with didn't have it or didn't play it much.
Since I'm used to playing D1/2 on-line, I really don't care about the difference. It IS different but it's just a matter of leading shots. D3 online can be good on a nice day and level, but tended be the one that drove me insane, mainly due to weapon balance.
Take either to a LAN and no-one has anything to ★■◆● about though.
And really, I wouldn't compare ratings. Most reviewers don't play a game for very long, and chances are D1 wasn't rated for multiplayer. But anyway, their ideas:
Gamespot.com:
D1 - 8.0
D2 - 9.2
D3 - 9.0
PC Gamer:
D1 - 96
D2 - 88
D3 - 93
All Game Guide:
D1 - 9
D2 - 8
D3 - 9
Metacritic's score:
D1 - 87
D2 - 89
D3 - 89
D3 generally did well in the reviews, but it wasn't really all that decisive.
P.S. Apologies if you haven't heard of some of those, but it was rather tough finding anyone that had reviewed all three. D1 is too old for most sites.

Yes, D1 is the best.
These posts are always fun to watch. Whether or not the person who started it was being serious, there's always some people that actually get mad that their name doesn't show up on their list.
If I actually played D3 more than a couple dozen times I'd probably come up with a list of my own.

You play D1 very little for considering it the best. I played 69 1v1 games(great number, eh?) for the IDL plus a couple non-ladder games. That's about how long it held my interest. In contrast, I've played thousands of D3 games. It would be hypocritical for me to say D1 is the best. I will say that D1 is better than D2 though.Behemoth wrote:D1 is the best.
I would NOT however be hypocritical for me to say that because i played d1 for about a year before d2 even came out.Jesus Freak wrote:You play D1 very little for considering it the best.
