Game Forum / Role Playing Games / Diablo / August 2007ATTN: Mickey and D3
Wasn't there a guy here called Mickey who claimed to be in possession and currently "alpha" testing the supposed D3? The guy who has access to multiple million pounds, is a computer whiz but apparently didn't have the sense or means with which to take screenshots?! What ever happened to this and did anything fruitful ever come out of the mystery man? Thanks, Daniel > What ever happened to this and did anything fruitful ever come out of > the mystery man? Mickey is taking a break from the newsgroup. Isn't there somekind of nondisclosure agreement for alpha testing a game like that?

He just said that he can't currently take screenshots of it because...*insert excuse here* which made it sound rather fishy and attention seeking to me. What do I know though, right?! I just wanted to see if anyone can confirm that nowt else ever came from it thus validating my dubious, pessimistic nature. > He didn't have a problem posting about it here.

You could email and ask him ;-) There might be various ways of telling something without acting against a nondisclosure.

They also disabled any access to external programs. Mickey tried 505 ways to get one screenshot, but it seems Blizzard put more work into preventing screenshots than they did into preventing duping in D2. In any case, the alpha test was one dismal failure, the game had so many bugs that all the reported bugs in all the years of D2/LoD wouldn't have made up a minor percentage. And it crashed with amazing regularity, something Mickey said had to do with some form of a universal video driver they were trying to incorporate into the design.

Max I know a way to get a Screenshot. ;-) Video it. Gives u active screenshots. ;-) Can't disable an external camera. Although with Beta testing of games like that there is like Anja said usually a nondisclosure agreement. If that agreement is broken then Lawsuits usually arise.

Yes, that would have work, but the quality would have been horrible, and as Mickey is known to post here, they would have bagged him for it instantly. In any case, the entire this was a nightmare, best left forgotten for quite some time, I would suspect. Max >>> He didn't have a problem posting about it here.

I've Beta tested (Alpha tests are usually done in-house only) a lot of software over the years and in most cases the agreements you sign are pretty simple. Things like... you cant make copies for any reason other than 'backup' recovery, no installation on any machine other than the authorized units, no coping of any docuemnts or manuals. Overall they just want to keep things under control till they can build the final release. How would you to see a copy of a product you were building hit the street just weeks before you were going to announce yours? Besides at least in my case, the compensation for doing good Beta testing ain't all that bad and having a good reputation gets you more work in the future. > Wasn't there a guy here called Mickey who claimed to be in possession > and currently "alpha" testing the supposed D3?

He is currently away from the group to perfect his ability to magically change $4000 Fieros into $400000 Ferraris for mass public sale. > > Wasn't there a guy here called Mickey who claimed to be in possession > > and currently "alpha" testing the supposed D3?

So for, THREE different people who have been IN the car have told you otherwise, and yet you continue to spew this lie. What an EXCELLENT Nazi you would make.

Who's the dickhead that's ruining agd with racial "fuckwitism" about some crap that doesn't belong there? > > "~DaN~" <Dashboar...@gmail.com> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > One more thing. Who's the dickhead that's ruining agd with racial > "fuckwitism" about some crap that doesn't belong there? That's somebody Mickey pissed off in another group (soc.culture.israel I think, though I've never been to check). That's why we're all here in AGD2 (we as in former readers of AGD). To be fair to Mickey, much as I have my reservations about his liberal use of the term "anti-semitic", the guy in question is just a total anti-semitic loon. The original flamewar between them must have been quite a sight. CC >> One more thing. Who's the dickhead that's ruining agd with racial >> "fuckwitism" about some crap that doesn't belong there?

The Rev is anti-*everybody*, he's one of those trolls that goes for mass nymshifting, mass crossposting and post flooding. Hates Jews, hates Muslims, hates Christians, hates Brits, hates Americans... hates everybody! LOL > > > "~DaN~" <Dashboar...@gmail.com> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > > - Show quoted text - It was soc.culture.jewish, and there was no flamewar, Mickey killfiled him on contact. However, Mickey went after another local anti-Semite, one Alex Seredin, and that started the loon on chasing Mickey around. Here is a link to part of the story. BTW, this story was posted by a WELL regarded reporter. Note the reference to his FERARRI !!!! More proof for that idiot polarpansy to ignore. Max |
