Link seems to work for me. [URL]http://www.gamespot.com/video/930659/6193139/videoplayerpop?[/URL]

He also stated in an interview with [URL="http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3168515"][COLOR=#a63300]1up[/COLOR][/URL]:
Rob Pardo: "We don't want the game to look like WOW. We want it to look like Diablo. But we felt that there was an opportunity to add more color to the game but still keep the game feeling dark. And I think that's something a little tougher to see in a demo. I think when you're playing the game, people will fall in love with it, and will realize, "you know what? You can have reds and blues and a more painted look and still have a very dark, gothic feel to it all."

I used the BBCode provided by Gamespot to embed the video. However, it seems disabled on our vBulletin.  I replaced it with a old-fashioned link instead. It works now.

"We know where our breads buttered on this License... we totally understand that people want to collect cool loot, to trade with other people..."  Sounds like good news to me.

The good news from this video is that:

1.The five classes HAVE been decided. (Rob: "...they are playable back at the home office")
2.They have made progress on the single player campaign ("Act I is pretty much playable")
3.This version of the game has been in development for 3 years (Blizz is usually on a 4 year dev cycle)


So basically he admitted it just comes down to content. They have to add more levels, skills, items, etc., The core game mechanics and engine and planning is basically done.

It may be 5 days old, but better late than none at all. Would you want the front page to be updated only once or twice a month? I don't think so.

I was all weekend at WWI with a massive toothache/headache, had to spend my internet time wisely, so I didn't visit any other website except diablofans and blizzplanet. I didn't even visit the official diablo 3 site until around tuesday. Most of this time I have been sleeping, recovering from the ordeal.  Last two days, thankfully I didnt need pain killers, feel better, but my body has been taking me into nap-mode.  10 hours sleep yesterday + 4 hours nap few hours later.

Before I knew it, it is now Friday.  Back to business, I need to start updating the sites whether old or new.
