Okay so this is the story of how i found out that Diablo III was announced.
My stream was up, i was all set i thought. I talked with the guys from the IRC chat while waiting for the announcement. We got to the point where Mike Morhaime came up and I was pretty excited. But i was fighting a battle. My diabloisis, as someone called it, was acting up. Diabloisis is my personal disease that I have, where my neck starts to kill when I play diablo, but doesn't stop until I lay down. So, as I realize that Mike Morhaime doesn't really seem to be getting at anything, I take a break and go downstairs to lay down on my brand new comfy sofa. After about 15 minutes of diabloisis therapy, I get a weird feeling in my stomach, and I race up stairs thinking something important happened. First thing i did was look at the stream.
While I unknowingly stumbled upon Diablo III, I thought to myself "is this world of warcraft? it looks pretty cool. Always though WoW sucked." I ponder as I look and see the familiar Health and Mana globes. As I cannot figure it out, I ask the IRC chat "is this WoW?" and everyone goes "no. its diablo III" All of a sudden i creamed my pants.
Anyone else have interesting stories as to how they arrived at the announcement of Diablo III?
I checked the Blizzard website and noticed the new DIII splashpage with the awesome visuals and music! It was an awesome feeling, to see it happen (slightly) unexpectedly. And it was awesome that noone spoiled it for me first.
Ive had been following the iceX.jpegs on the Blizzard page the days before the release waiting to see what game they would announce. Didnt think it would be Diablo III.
I had been out the day before and had some massive hangover. I didnt really want to get up, but I started my computer and there it was "and the heavens shall tremble" so I creamed my pants aswell
watched it live. my stream was octofailing then nuzz told me to switch over to tourney low. it finally started but then froze on a candle. that still picture of a candle got me super excited. then it started up again and worked flawlessly. The cinematic scene was epic.
I heard a soothing voice whispering at my ear. It spoke in some unknown language. Then it suddenly exploded into a shreek of terror whailing like a frenzied lamentation. Windows were reduced to glassy bits, the alarms of the cars outside began to sound...
I fell into oblivion and before I crashed into the ground, with a short glimpse at the edge of my eyes I saw him... His eyes set ablaze as he moved the grotesque flesh that resembled lips into a grim smile... I fell into darkness and could only hear what seemed like:
"NOT EVEN DEATH CAN SAVE YOU FROM ME !!!"
That is how I knew He had come for us once more... That is how I knew...

lol it can still easily be a ranger since who said you cant shoot arrows at melee distance xD

The Barbarian is from Arreat, a very cold snowy mountain top, but they are much tougher than normal humans, so they don't need warmth.

Where are Barbarians originally from? Sumeria, or more specifically Mesopotamia, AKA Europe. Think the Alps and the Pyrenees
I just got up, laid in bed for like 30 mins watching TV. Then it was just like Holy Shit, WWI Anouncement would be finished by now. So I got up, went on the computer and typed in Blizzard.com. It was black with a few textures barely visible on the sides and I was just kind of like.. wtf? Blizzard is down? Then the flash image started, DIABLO :D:D:D It felt some good lol.
Youtube, I saw a D3 cinematic (I have no idea what I was originally searching - for the life of me I cannot recall it), and I started watching it, and I figured it was a fake, like most of them are, but it seemed eerily like Blizzard quality... so I paused it, googled Diablo 3, then saw blizzard.com/diablo3 site. And I shrieked like a little girl in such a way I won't be able to replicate until Diablo 4 (or Monkey Island 5) comes out.

Ranger - Ranged Weapon Mastery (fire a bow or javelins like a machine gun!), Traps (MK style!), Pets (lions, tigers, and bears oh my!) - physical damage based
Demonologist - Bone Spells (Necro style!), Avatar (shapeshift into a demon!), Furies (evil spirits that hang around you, giving party bonuses) - mix of physical damage and magic
LEAP ATTACK!!!!! PLAGUE OF TOADS!!!!!
SLOW TIME!!!!!
Not the most exciting story but random and interesting to me -- on Friday out of boredom at work and a bit of nostalgia I randomly decided to check out diabloii.net and saw all the rumors / talk about the Blizzard.com splash page, etc.
I didn't really believe D3 was coming, but I checked back on Saturday and the news was there!
I've been following the rumors and Medieval Dragon for awhile now. I really got interested with the Teaser from Blizzard.com though and once I saw Diablo 3, I broke out screaming.
Like other I was following the splash image on Blizzards website and had a feeling it would be D3 just didn't want to get my hopes up, although all signs pointed to it. Then I logged on to Blizzards site and once the music started I knew it was D3. I was excited as I have never been so excited for a game before.
That site ultimately lead me here which seems like a good community.

I thought that since it was 3d, and it wasnt sc, it was WoW. And i had never really seen any WoW gameplay so I figured it was related to WoW.
p.s. creamed pants, ftw RAppel.
