    Since I am the one who will be making the big announcement on May 1st, I thought I would let you guys know in advance that it's not an announcement for the other game I've talked about for ages:



    Sadly, we'll all still have to wait on that one. Nevertheless, the news is definitely pretty big, although I told Umaro that saying "half the web will link to diablo3.com" is a bit of an exaggeration... but he's just excited about it as we all are. I'll have to teach him some journalistic restraint one o' these days... ;)

    Anyway, I'll be here with the big announcement on May 1st, so keep your eyes peeled for it.

    Yeah, normally I wouldn't let Starcraft II news fly on the homepage of Diablo3.com, but it's ok in this case. That being said, keep an eye out for any Diablo 3 news, because I definitely don't want a Starcraft news item being the latest thing on the Diablo homepage for the next month haha...

    Under threat of a forum member's taser "of teh win,"

    I dunno, doesn't seem like something that would fool anybody. I guess I didn't think much of their joke because Blizzard's were so good this year, especially the Molten Core trailer.

    Moved the thread off the homepage, because it's not really news... it's their April Fool's gag and you're about 10 days late there, Elfen :P

    I know, but 00:00am has always looked funny to me.

    The time that didn't exist!

    Yeah, having your head ated is rough, isn't it?

    And I see you already changed your user icon to reflect the Diablo Piñata gag. Damn you're fast.

    posted a message on April Fool's Day gag from Blizzard - The Diablo Loot Piñata!
    No, they're not announcing Diablo 3 as an April Fool's Day joke to further torture us fans who are eagerly awaiting the third installment in the Diablo series. However, Blizzard did put up a brand new Diablo-themed gag today: The Diablo Loot Piñata! Now who wouldn't want to smack around a piñata filled with deadly weapons? Ok, I wouldn't, but I'd love to watch somebody else do it.

    Head on over to Blizzard's information page on the Diablo Loot Piñata:
    http://www.blizzard.com/us/diablo2exp/pinata.html

    There are some other gags up on Blizzard too for fans of their other gaming series (which I honestly think they put a lot more effort into), so be sure to check those out too. I particularly got a kick out of the fantastic graphics in the trailer for their "Molten Core" console game gag. HAS SOUND!

    Anyway, I hope you all enjoy the chuckles that are surely to be found all over the internet today on April Fool's Day. And speaking of which, I made a little gag of my own that you guys can check out. I'm sure it will bring back some (painful) memories for fans of the Atari 2600 system.

    Heheh, well as I've said before: it's not a question of if Diablo 3 will happen, it's a question of when Diablo 3 will happen. It's simply a test of our collective patience. Fortunately, there are plenty of other games to keep us entertained in the meantime.

    While there's obviously not a lot of Diablo 3 gaming news being spread around right now, I do have some good news regarding the site. My co-webmaster pal Umaro just confirmed that the big server upgrade is now completed. Here are the spiffy new stats:

    -AMD Opteron 1216HE [dual 2.4GHz]
    -4 gigs o' RAM
    -2 250gig SataII HD in Raid 1

    So yeah, now the server is bigger, better, stronger, faster... and yes, hungrier. For tacos. Mmmm... TacoCraft. Also, the forums are getting upgraded to the latest version sometime tonight, so hooray for upgrades all around!

    Yeah I hope you'll all stick around. This really is one of the greatest gaming communities online and everybody seems to be really cool to each other for the most part. Pretty impressive when you consider how long we've been around and how the game hasn't even been announced yet.

    You guys rock.

    posted a message on No more game announcements for BlizzCon '07
    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)
