A rep from Blizzard just sent me notice that there would be no more announcements at BlizzCon tomorrow (Saturday), so for those of you (ie: all of you) who were hoping that this would be the day that Diablo 3 was finally confirmed, I'm sorry to inform you that you'll have to continue to wait. We all know that it's eventually coming, but the waiting for the official confirmation of the third game along with some idea of what it will be like is a really hard thing to wait for. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I figured it would be best to tell you about this now rather than have you guys waiting around all day Saturday hoping that we'd hear more about Diablo 3. Thanks for sticking with us though... Blizzard is listening to us and sooner or later (ok, later) Diablo 3 will become a reality.
In other Blizzard-related news, the rep just sent me word that our own Umaro participated in the first-ever Starcraft II tournament with Loc Teinh (from w3roc.com) on his team and won in the first round, but they were unfortunately defeated in round 2 by TeamLiquid. The overall winner of the tournament was TeamLiquid who were then given the opportunity to play Karune and Stephen Chang from the eSports team. TeamLiquid wasn't able to defeat them though. Unfortunately there's no replay video footage from this tournament, but maybe that will change later on.
More news as it becomes available.
Sad Diablo indeed. (thanks to Zabadak for sharing this image with us)
This is getting really off-topic, but what the hell...
I personally think that (aka IMO) the letters to type the word one are placed in a way that it makes the effort to reach for the 1 up there not worth it...
Did this phrase make any sense?.. it's a bit odd.
Besides 'n e' and 'any' have the same amount of characters, only difference is that the latter is a real word, and the first is something someone someday thought to be a 'kewl' way to to write it cause they sound alike...
God, I've been over this stuff so many times in wikipedia, but in forums like this one I don't mind it really, let the guy write the way he prefers.
I know what you mean. I always imagine how awesome it will be when you're just starting of in D3 and you won't know anything.
ya, already having alot of knowledge of diablo, and trying to get used to the game alone, not to mention trying to get a handle of the lore and the more lore you will learn as the game goes on.
It seems that in order to get any sort of substantial response from Blue, one would have to employ the press (in this case Kotaku jabbed them until they spit out some knowledge) and also have a pseudo-insider leak some sensitive information. It would also help if Blizzard were actually planning to announce a title in the near future.
I'm not saying this is a definite plan - or even a long shot for that matter - but is there any problem with someone (moderators!) asking the major gaming news sites if they've been pushing Blizzard enough for comments? Obviously our humble forum represents a stalwart bunch of Diablo enthusiasts, but our pull in the world of the media is slim.
How do we extend our influence to tease out these all-important facts?
Can we find the one web-journalist who shares our plight and can take up arms with us in our cause?
If you ever travel back in time, don't step on anything. For even the slightest change in the past could alter the future in wayyyyys you can't imagine.

i know what story you got that from, but i forgot the name. it involved hunting dinosaurs right?
maybe, but ive also read a story where a man wants to go hunt a dinosaur. he goes to a time machine company and tells them he wants to kill a trex and they take him to one. the point of the hunting, is that the dinosaur must be killed moments near where its supposed to die, like a tree falling on it or something. well, this guy freaks out at the last minute, and runs off the floating path, and they go back into time to find out that they have upset the order.
but i do remember that episode now that you mention it. the one with the toaster right?

Maybe in another parallel universe they've extended the others franchises, Hehe.

Treehouse of Horror episode in a segment called “Time and Punishment” from 6 season. Homer accidently discovers time travel when he jams a fork in a broken toaster trying to fix it. Homer’s first unplanned trip to the past takes him to prehistoric times where he stomps on a bug and changes the course of history in hilarious ways.
THATS THE ONE!!! i read it in my english literary book, everyone was finishing julius ceasar and i had finished it a week before and was just reading stories around the book.

Similar except we were reading silly Romeo & Juliet. Read it, and (If I recall correctly): at the start someone just got elected president (Kieth I think was his name) and after the 'incident' in the past the logo of the company changed (mispelled) & another person was president.
The book explore what the scientists latter call Butterfly Effect or "sensitive dependence upon inicial conditions" - so say Edward Lorenz.
They "inspire" Lorenz, the book was release 10 years before the Lorenz beam(lorentz), the difference is: the book use the flapping of butterfly wings... lorenz use seagull's wings, but both talk about the changes in the global weather(or history) caused by tiny conditions. Like kill a little butterfly.

Your ideas please.
