SS is also Seismic Slam between barbs and it can also mean 'screenshot'

[zeroRooter]

please add BS: Banner safe?

You mentioned lag. I would add rubberbanding to go along with that.  And to be humorous you could mention the fact that in almost every set of patch notes several issues of rubberbanding are mentioned as being fixed, yet it seems to never permanently go away.  Or maybe that's just my own sick version of humor...

you forgot "jay wilsoned" ^^

[Tanakeah]

Great list! Though don't forget to add "Doubled it!" at some point.

[POI5ON]

Another great idea to come out of the Diablo Fans Community, Nice Work!

[itirnitii]

Don't forget "barblo"

[Jaetch]

Added Seismic Slam and screenshot to SS. Added 'doubled it,' amongst various others

Never heard of this one. Elaborate?

Nice compilation. WW Barb definition is wrong, however.

The spec is based on Whirlwind - "Hurricane" and Sprint - "Run Like the Wind".

Barblo, an amalgamation of the words Barb and Diablo, referencing the idea that the game is built entirely around the one and only Barbarian class, while completely neglecting all other classes.

Also you might want to add that hammer of the ancients is also sometimes abbreviated HOTA, often said as a single word, rather than saying each letter individually, and tends to be the build that barbs use most often when attempting to set records due to it's high single target damage.  At least, that's how I've often heard it mentioned.

Btw, very nice work you have done here.  I enjoyed reading and can't wait to see the list grow.

Nice catch! I actually didn't even realize I did that.

Got it.

[itirnitii]

"Barblo" exactly as stated above. I'd recommend use of the word portmanteux though instead of amalgamation.

I'd use "portmanteau," too, but I quoted him directly to credit the explanation.

Kulle Story, Bro: a reference to the oft-used line, "Cool story, bro." This variation is a tribute to the Diablo character Zoltun Kulle.

This is actually the name of a hc achievment (killing zolten kulle). The hc kill achievments all have more creativity than their sc counterpart.

I like the one for Maghda: "The Witch Is Dead" -> a reference to "The Wizard of Oz".

[Speaker]

I've never even heard of the word portmanteau, lol.  I don't mind if you change it.  You are free to get rid of the quote if you would like, and do whatever you see you fit.  It is your guide after all.

shut up! you're just a fanboy >_<

[Bagstone]

Holy crap. Does that mean that Blizzard... even... reads this forum? Anyways, gratz Jaetch/Cantor.

Btw, I think almost everyone mistakes username/rank when they come here for the first time. The username should be on top of the avatar, the rank below.

And... seriously, what more does it take to get this thread stickied? Front page of New York Times? Breaking news on CNN?
