I've loved all of the WD related concept art. I think he is one of the most unique classes design-wise.
Ditto. :sorcerer:

How about for every 50K Likes, they reveal a new town, dungeon, monster, or system on the official website? All with some well needed flavor text as well.

No.
In simple English it just means that they're not yet certain whether it's late 2011 or early 2012.
And as such, they decided not to include it in their revenue/profit forecasts.
There's no reason to lie to shareholders. It's a criminal offence, and the truth is often better met by shareholders than sliding release dates. Like how they failed it with Starcraft II.
Of course, it's Blizzard we're talking here. In this world the release year will be 2012 no doubt about it. So at the end of the day we agree, but reach our verdict through different routes.

I wasn't expecting anything. However I'm quite happy about this conference call and found it very insightful.
It says very clearly that they do not plan any major title release this year.
No 'might', 'possibly', 'soon' or any ambiguous words to keep people on the edge.
I like these kinds of news plain and clear.
Q2 2012 for me. Or later. I don't mind.
Earlier would be cool too.
It wasn't on the slides, but the CFO said it during the call:
Official Blizzard Quote:
Because Blizzard Entertainment has not yet confirmed a launch date for its next global release, outlook at this time does not include a new game from Blizzard in 2011. Should we not release a major title from Blizzard this year, we would expect for planning purposes, to launch a minimum of two Blizzard titles in 2012.
EDIT: And at one point during the call I think it was Morhaime who said that Diablo is their next planned release. Anyone wanting to dispute this can go listen to the webcast.
And Bashiok also said it in his post, which was edited into the news post:
I want to make sure it’s clear that what was stated on the investor conference call was this: Blizzard has not announced a release date for its next global release. IF we don’t release a major title in 2011, then for planning purposes we would expect to launch 2 titles in 2012.
This has been misreported/misinterpreted as an announced release schedule for 2011 and 2012, which it is not. While we’re pleased with the progress of Diablo III, we have not announced a release date for it or for any other upcoming Blizzard game. We’re currently contacting a number of outlets to request that they make the appropriate corrections in order to avoid any further confusion.
So while a late 2011 release isn't out of the question, it's doubtful. And the beta is planned to start this year more than likely. Morhaime wouldn't have otherwise mentioned it in the conference call.

Huh? @Diablo said "He's supposed to drop by next week." How would that not get people thinking that it would come soon?

I suppose it is truly a matter of perspective.
One can feel insecure by this picture. Or maybe they can look at it and realize that no girl is or can be perfect. If one wants to nitpick, they will.
In any case the nitpicking on this pic is way too retarded to be taken seriously.
Let alone personality flaws or issues, a girl feeling insecure through those means is just....not very bright.

I said i found it hilarious(and refreshing). Not life or society-changing.
Get a grip.
Poor analytical skills on your behalf I suppose.
People were actually trying to defend the girl therefore my prompting my conclusion of their disapproval of said picture.
I think this point of view arises from the conception of the idea that though the girl is pretty, she isn't that pretty.
I find her to be severely bang-able (personality withstanding). Therefore trying to make her out as undesirable is just comically unreal. Simple as that.
A question for you and Tralari- what would you rate that girl on a scale of 0-10.
10 being ideal obviously.
Try and be as honest as possible for the sake of the discussion.

Women with certain body types having been glorified throughout the media/fashion industry and portrayed as 'ideal' is what have deepened the sense of insecurity felt by girls and women around the world. Add to the bill anorexi and bulimea and you have a right mess on top of all that crap.
That chick on the pic is so obviously pretty (from most males' perspectives I would imagine) that picking her apart like that and making her out to be undesirable is simply...hilarious.
Thinking that this is what makes women insecure is why I think you don't get the 'humor' at all.

Freaking hilarious yo!
+1.
Dunno why the rest of you are getting your panties in a mix about this though. I find this contemptuous sarcasm rather refreshing in a world where appearance takes precedence over most traits of a person.

Sounds like an awesome place. Guess the isolation must weigh in after some time though. We are social creatures after all.
@ Vegas- You look like some Mexican prisoner- big tattooed biceps, mustache and mullet (?) hair cut. Awesome!
Now for some fun:

Don't quite know- It's 3D motion capture something. So you need to stick all those reflective markers on people...which is kind of troublesome.
On what are you doing your PhD? I thought it was something similar.

You need more options and plan B's. Diablo universe is quite an inspiration for many true, but you got to look around and showcase your skills within new ventures.
That WD drawing you did was truly impressive. You can't say after that, that you will have a hard time with different material or contexts.
Actually you can but nobody will believe you.

And we all know you have mad skillz there.
You are not as hip as you think Reptar. For shame.

He was actually asking genuine questions about mainstream culture, hipsters and opinions. I answered in my fashion.
I don't think anybody did answer him.
