alot of people have been disecting the gameplay videos for every ounce of information they can, and i dont blame them, i am too
However, 2 things havnt been mentioned yet that i know of:
1. The location the barb is in is "Forgotten Temple" Which = Diablo2 act1 area. IMO:
-This means revisiting areas such as Cold Plains, Dark woods, stony field, tristam (obviously), and maybe the rogue encampment?
if so for the last part, then i expect Tristam to be the new Safe zone for that act, and for the Rogue Encampment to be demolished as tristam was in D2.
whatever, thats not my point, my point is i want to find out who this guy is and then we can threaten him for more information on diablo3 >.>
you can find a few more posts from "Sparker" named people on forums, all relating to Blizzard one way or another. same proper grammar etc etc, and he seems to be fairly proficient in programming
DANGIT stop saying everything is related to wow lol!!! OH and sparker is a common name it sounds it and i remember the barbs name is SPEAKER not sparker...
well it might say sparker it hard to tell but most likely he said he knew a guy that had to do with bc so it might be related most likely not but good find still
Looking at the gameplay video (Yes, looks can be deceiving) I think the game is past pre-alpha. It very much looked like an Alpha presentation and quite a strong one at that.
Actually the place the barb was in is called Forgotten Tombs..

The people pray for strength and guidance ..
they should pray for the mercy of a swift death
for I have seen what the darkness hides.
I do find it interesting that he is a very skilled electronics dev., he works at blizzard, he has over 500 contacts at blizzard according to http://center.spoke.com/info/pDmWEu1/SteveParker
Its very interesting, it all adds up. No doubt in my mind that he is testing the game.
wow you ALL missed the point of this thread...im amazed...really.
All I got from this thread is you are in love with this Steve Parker guy and are e-stalking him.

Wasn't trying to flame, I just didn't see what else the OP wanted out of this thread.

Level 70 wow player + has proper punctuation in his posts, rare in todays age. Could he work for blizz? Be an alpha tester? or just a coincidence?

also found this:
http://www.highend3d.com/maya/downloads/tools/syntax_scripting/1133.html
i believe thats him as well due to this part on the page:
"Author Name: Stephen Parker"
everywhere i go this guy is referenced as Parker, not Sparker.
Also, the google information for that page:

He is just trying to figure out some information about Diablo 3, if that takes some stalking I am all for it
