New splash screen up. Looks like we can have more MS Paint fun with this one, since I can already see an imaginary demon face when I look into the swirling mist in the middle. What have you people done to my mind!  Sup?  |

The latest patch for Diablo 2 has removed CD checking. (It took a couple of .mpq file transfers for me to get it working, but confirmed.)
Make of that what you will.

That PS3 site is just looking for a link on NeoGAF. Pardo already said it was a new game. WoW is by no means new. Or a game. HARHARHARHAHRHHARHRAHA.

Plus Sony already has The Agency and DC Universe in the cooker for their console. |

I think the biggest thing to take out of all this craziness is just how much love remains for the Diablo series. Half the internet goes fucking apeshit over the possibility that Diablo3 is about to be announced, moreso than I think even for that actual announcement of SC2. I would gather that even if it isn't Diablo3 being announced, the amount of fervor for it is something even Blizzard, atop their God-mountain, cannot ignore.

There's a reason Starcraft was announced in Korea. DOTA is bigger than starcraft here. And it's a fucking mod.

Oh I know this, believe me. I just cant help but think about shit like how long the Necromancer was essentially broken, how fucking long guided arrow was broken, how long it took for 1.10, how long the elemental tree for druid was absolutely fucking worthless, etc. Diablo2 is probably my favorite game of all time after SMB3, and if I could only choose between one of their franchises it would be that even though Starcraft is still probably the best game I've ever played for the PC. I just worry that of all their franchises diablo is the easiest to leave by the wayside for them, and I half wouldn't blame them. It had to be one of the most frustrating things in the world to see their entire online portion become decimated because of hacks and cheats even though it was something they were specifically worried about going into developement of the second. Diablo players are, almost without exception, the biggest fucking assholes on the planet, and maybe that's why I feel so at home there.

Today's hidden JPG has the number 16, which plays into the 'numbers from Lost' theory - we have, so far (in bold), 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42.
It's the foot of the purple walrus, but today's letter is P, which shoots down the DARCHOW DASHOW (WHATEVER IT IS A DUMB NAME) theory.
New rune location so far supports the pentagram theory.

WHATEVER MAN People are still trying to theorycraft the 4th rune - linking it to Pluto's two orbiting satellites, one of which is Hydra, hence project hydra. |

So, Nonentity claims Diablo 3 will be a RTS game. Saucy.

I claimed nothing of the sort! I am just partaking in the wild speculation. That's half the fun! |

Why are we doing this when it'll just be a repeat of the SC2 announcement.

I've already pointed out and apparently the excuse is that "It wasn't blizzards fault" last time. Denial is a fun game! |

Hello. I am Nonentity, and I am a Blizzard fanboy.
Please release Diablo 3 so the trifecta of awesome can be COMPLETE.

I would say the split is about 70/30 on people thinking it's diablo/people thinking it's wow or SC related.
They better make the larger number of people happy, that's all I'm sayin'.

That wouldn't be funny. Also, I think Blizzard likes money. |

The money all goes to the same people so it won't matter. What will actually happen is that some WoW players will just flipflop between WoW and World of Diablo, possibly overlapping subs. Five-gallon moneyhats.

So, basically what has been uncovered is that so far they have runes from multiple games, and ice. Thats all we really know for sure, right?

And that WWI is on Diablo's Birthday. And in Europe, where Diablo is bigger than anything. And has Diablo featured most prominently on the logo.

In my gift bag from Blizzcon 2007 they included a big sticker that wa almost identical to this. With a big Diablo right in the middle. I think taking his presence in the logo might be grasping at straws. Not that its not Diablo. |

It looks more like a glaring Protoss to me. Maybe Zealots are one of the classes in Diablo 3: World of Ice Pax Vikings. I could live with that. |

I don't know, now that simond posted that pic showing I'm not completely insane, that seems kind of a big tip off. The eyes match up perfectly. Or also they sort of look like the eyes of a raging Tauran. |
