UPDATE2: It seems the following parts in the video below have now been edited out on the live page.
Diablo's 15 Year Anniversary Page Up
"A little fun" page was added to the Diablo 3 website. Here we get a overview of which each diablo game brought us, a timeline of all the diablo events, as well as three videos, enjoy!
All Hell breaks loose...
was one of the original advertising slogans for Diablo, and to this day it feels appropriately prophetic. When we unleashed Diablo at the end of 1996, we were proud of the game and eager to share it with anyone willing to delve into the deepest, darkest dungeons on a quest to destroy a legendary evil.
The series is now 15 years old, and it’s changed and grown in a number of ways, some of which we couldn’t have possibly anticipated when we started work on our first action-RPG. Diablo’s continued legacy is due, first and foremost, to a great community that embraced the series’ unique brand of multiplayer gaming -- a community that continues to find ways to coax more secrets and power out of the world of Sanctuary.
South Korea Rating and Bashiok on Delay
Another mark in this hot topic hit today. First it looks like the rating for D3 in South Korea has not been decided and now looks like we will not know until Friday the 6th (www.dualshockers.com). However once again Bashiok has come out and said this means nothing and you really shouldn't care if it gets a rating soon or not, as it will not effect a release date in any shape.
Official Blizzard Quote:
This can only end in disappointment. When a final decision is rendered and game still isn't released, finally people will realize the two weren't linked, as stated. But then the game still won't be out, so still no one is happy. I suppose those are just the ups and downs you have to expect when following something so closely.
If you’re following the endless saga of the rating of Diablo III in South Korea, you were probably expecting a result by today. Or maybe, based on previous experience, you were expecting it not to happen at all.
In fact it didn’t happen. The decision by the local Game Rating Board about the controversial (at least in Korea) game by Blizzard was postponed, and the next meeting will happen on Friday the 6th, marking the third delay for the official certification of Diablo III in the extremely profitable Asian market.
Officials of the Game Rating Board commented that at this point the final outcome of this troubled situation is still unknown.
Considering that the average waiting time for a game’s certification in South Korea is inferior to 15 days and Diablo III’s case has gone way over that timeframe, things seem to be taking a grim turn.
Will we be able to see a final decision by Friday? I guess all we can do is waiting for the next episode of the saga.
Monk - Lashing Tail Kick Runed
Today we have the Monk's Lashing Tail Kick spell runed. Please keep in mind that this was made using what is available at this time, and may be missing some effects or graphics. What you see here does not 100% reflect what we may see live. PS: give Dokaroth a big hug, he was a massive help in getting these videos to you guys.
OH, that would be interesting... cut out of the US and not the EU..
and there is no skipping for me... it just will not let you, ever, must be a chrome thing? (I mean before its loaded)
anyway loading both videos.
EDIT: its missing from EU as well, uploading video
I tried in a fully new browser (thinking, what if even clearing my cache, I was still loading a copy were they removed it, but then added it)
but you can see I used both chrome, and FF to check US and EU...and as you see below, the parts where we should see them, are gone.
note: just uploaded so could still be processing.

I guess the plot thickens
So we have loads of people with it gone, and it seems people that still have it as well.. this is odd.
plus check out the comments below
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/media/videos/?view#/extended-retrospective
they all cant see it anymore either.
When I get home I'll try a new comp and see
No that happened, but last I heard that video is considered non-canon and irrelevant to the storyline.
So I heard you like wallpapers.. I made some:

Happy now?!
That is leaving a lot of people thinking that diablo's new vassal is Leah, Deckard Cain's niece. I want to point out that nothing is confirmed, this is only rumor.
Just watched it for the first time and it's not there. Well, most of it isn't. They cut out a lot less than the video in the news story.
Guessing it's all down to a cache issue.
Reminds me of that one Family Guy episode where Stewie keeps saying it like that to Brian...
And Lea sacrifices herself to save decard cain.
The plot thickens!
can't wait to see the full videos.
its a cache issue.
Yup, was just weird because it followed cross browser as well. But it's gone now for me as well.
Still kinda strange that they'd remove it imho..
Vessel vs vassal? Is he possessing her or is she doing it willingly? I'm going with vessel.
Pass the cool hwhip.
When Justice falls upon the world of man? The worldstone explosion vaporized him, and his essence was trapped in a piece of the worldstone (just like a soulstone) which shot into space for 20 years, orbited Santuary, then came crashing down into the Cathedral. Bam, instant Tyrael, just add water.
