I picked up Walking Dead on a Humble Bundle a while back, and am just getting around to playing it. It's pretty amazing. Probably gonna pick up some of Telltale's other games once I finish this, cuz it's so good.
I'm not arguing, I'm explaining why I'm right.

Telltales is a pretty good company overall. I can't wait for them to release the full second season, because I KNOW I'm gonna go crazy if I have to wait.

Yep, I'm waiting for them to release the full TWD Season 2, and all of A Wolf Among Us.  I've heard from a couple sources that AWAU ends on a pretty big cliffhanger, so I'm definitely waiting on that one. 
Are their other (non-story type) games good?  I've heard pretty good things about Sam and Max, but it looks like a lot of their other stuff is licensed tie-in crap.

I've been playing some Kingdoms CCG, and I have to say I'm enjoying it (aside from the AI being hyper-aggressive).

Haven't really played their non-story-driven stuff. I did enjoy both their Monkey Island and Back to the Future games, though.

So many discussions I missed and I MUST HAVE INPUT ON!

Zelda Lore stuff:
(click to show/hide)

As for Diablo 2 fans looking for their next game, try Path of Exile.  It's free, so there's no issue with money there.  If it's not your thing, Torchlight 2 probably will be, and it's cheap.  If you're looking for Diablo 2... Diablo 3 is not the place to look.  Let's just leave it at that.

Finally, Hearthstone is apparently in open beta, now.  I've been in the beta for a little over a week, now, so I've had the opportunity to play a few Arena runs, and have gotten... Paladin: 2-3, Priest: 3-3, Hunter: 4-3, Priest: 0-3, and Mage: 9-3.  In that order.  Mages are OP.

It's not going to be in DS2, and it's getting shut off fairly swiftly besides. GFWL, I mean

Yes, this is cause for celebration.  I still haven't heard if they were switching DaS1 over to Steam though.  I can't imagine that they wouldn't.

Still applies though, I want to co-op/invade you all!

I just found about this Sunrider kickstarter. They asked for 3000 bucks at start. They ended with over 44 k!

Just got the Drakengard 3/Drag-On Dragoon 3 soundtrack, and I'm in love from the first song! It sounds absolutely beautiful so far, and I just wish it was more than just the PS3 (and was being released earlier than May 20th in the USA).

It may be the game that makes me cave and get back into Sony's consoles, at least if I can find a cheaper PS3.

After-market prices on PS3's are plummeting.  By summer you will probably be able find the newest models for under $150.

I found one on Amazon for $120, but that's still a bit much for me right now (that's a full week of pay for me, assuming I can go without food for a week).

I wouldn't doubt it. A full week of pay for me is just over $50.

That's insane. Are there no minimum wage laws in effect?

Not me. The main thing I like about the Elder Scrolls series is the bazillion mods that you can add to customize the game at your leisure, and then change little details you don't like in the fly with quick console commands. I don't see a reason why I should pay a subscription to have the modding capacity removed.

I bet you won't even be able to steal/kill the quest-giver/shopowner NPCs if you don't like the way you're being treated. It has even been confirmed you don't even get a burden carrier companion.
