Grandma Has Destroyed All Humans
I don't think the old lady laughed this hard since Toejam and Earl; but god dammit she thought the beginning of this game was funny.
"Look! I get to pick up a cow!! AAAHHAHAHAHAHAA!!!"
"SHE SHIT HERSELF!!! I SHOT HER WITH AN ANAL PROBE AN SHE SHIT HER SELF TO DEATH!!!!"
"You can make the cow do the chicken dance! Dance fucker!!!"
And so on. That is, until she realized the mini-missions are really, incredibly hard. Then she stopped laughing and returned to her normal, cheerful ball of geriatric demons. One point of the game of particular annoyance was when she had to "take the form of the mayor of town and convince people nothing was going on." It's sort of a KOTOR thing where you have several options for dialogue. You could A) Blame it on Communists; B) Say you haven't seen anything strange; C) Blame it on rebellious youth listening to jazz music; or D) Kill them all! She kept saying kill them, and the mission would fail. Grandma would scream in protest.
"You have to blame it on the communists," I'd say.
She'd reply: "But the god damn title is Destroy All Fucking Humans!! It doesn't make sense!!"
Then she would go into a strange, under-the-breath diatribe about how games that were not sold as Metal Gear Solid should not be Metal Gear Solid with "all that sneaking around shit..."
It took her about 16 hours of gameplay to get 100%, which unlocked some B-Movie "Teenagers from Outer Space," which she proceeded to watch in it's entirety. Trying reading about terrorism with that in the background. It really puts everything in perspective.

You tell Grandma that she is my gaming hero(ine.) Long may she swear!!!

I think however that there is still some information missing. In your analysis you assumed diablo 3 gold a constant ratio between primary stat, crit chance, crit dmg, IAS to calculate stat weight. But I think you also need to calculate the stat weight for other situations, such as primary stat at 80% power and crit chance/dmg at 20% power or even 0% power. Do you think that primary stat will again have cheap diablo 3 gold the largest stat weight?
