Drkclone posted a message on Diablo's Anniversary, South Korea Rating, Lashing Tail Kick RunedSo I just rewatched them and it appears that they are added back in. Maybe they realized that it was too late and decided to change it back?Posted in: News -

Agreed. Just him turning angry (I think that is what the orange is meant for) was just amazing.Quote from Britward
Quote from Drkclone
Just watched the retrospective and now I am screaming, "I can haz game now?" Seeing a few frames from other cinematics including Imperius and female-looking Diablo makes me want to go to California and bang on Blizzard's front door for the game.
Imperius is what really did it for me. Looked pretty amazing.

Drkclone posted a message on Happy Anniversary, Bookshelves, Follower Weapons, Book of Cain, Beta ScreenshotsLooking foward to the next few weeks. Luckily school starts in a few days so that will help the time fly right by. I don't care now if a release date wont come this week. But if Blizz says there will be fun, I sure can't wait for that. Maybe a Diablo themed bounce castle?Posted in: News

Drkclone posted a message on 15 Year Anniversary, ANZ Beta, Blues on Release Delay, Beta Screenshots, Curse is hiringI hope that tomorrow doesn't turn into a dud for good news about Diablo 3. I am starting to have my doubts about a release date announcement but I feel we wont be left in the gutter. Maybe they might give more insight into what they are doing to make the game better and show why they postponed it. Just my two cents.Posted in: News

Drkclone posted a message on A Look into the Opening CinematicOne thing I noticed is that if you look at the scene of the comet coming down, for a brief second, what I thought was debris looks to possibly be other comets. So maybe if the comet in the Cathedral turns out to be an angel, maybe there is more then just one that fell in that style.Posted in: News

Drkclone posted a message on Diablo 3 Opening CinematicAmazing cinematic and helps start the Diablo 3 story. Sadly no release date but Blizzard still claims that Diablo was released on December 31st. So maybe we'll see the release date before year's end.Posted in: News

Drkclone posted a message on Beta Key Contest #4Binkles wasn't always a frog. He was actually a prince. And his name wasn't Binkles, it was Charles. But legend goes that he was once a forgot prince of Westmarch. During the war with King Leoric's army, he thought that attacking the town of Tristram would focus Leoric's vision onto assassination then war. But on his travels to Tristram, he met a witch. This wasn't a normal witch with a long nose, warts, and black cats. No, this was a normal looking woman who struck his fancy. After a few too many drinks, he spilled his mission to her. With the witch not liking his mission, she turned him into a frog. But she kept him and started to call him Chuck. But after the problems at Tristram, the witch found herself with a little girl. To try to make the frog more friendly to her daughter, she changed his name to Binkles. But problems occurred that forced the witch to leave her daughter and took Binkles with her. While she was running, she dropped the cage of Binkles from a cliff and kept running. That was the last time he was seen alive but it is rumored that Binkles survived the fall and travels around Khanduras and his last sighting was near the town of New Tristram.Posted in: News

WoW-related Legendaries
Did someone say Thunderfury? http://us.battle.net...tem/thunderfury
So one of the legendary swords in named Thunderfury. And it is no coincidence that it is WoW related when the description of the item is
Cataclysm http://us.battle.net.../item/cataclysm
This weapon, I believe, is more of a reference at the latest WoW Expansion. There is nothing really special about it at this moment but its description is
The Murlocket http://us.battle.net...m/the-murlocket
Blizzard trend of all things Murlock continues into their newest game. Even the picture of the Murlocket is the face of a murlock.
This amulets description is
Warmonger http://us.battle.net.../item/warmonger
This sword, is almost an exact replica of another weapon from WoW. Both blades share the same name and looks so this is clearly a WoW reference.
This swords description though, isn't a reference to WoW.
Thanks to Compher for finding this.'
Gehennas http://us.battle.net/d3/en/artisan/blacksmith/recipe/gehennas
These pants share a common name with a boss from the old raid, Molten Core. If you guessed Gehennas, then you are correct. But so far, that is the only connection I can find.
The description on these pants is
Blizzard Legacy Games
Blackthorne's Sword http://us.battle.net...ckthornes-sword
This is a reference to one of Blizzard's ealier games, Blackthorne. In the game, you play as Kyle Blackthorne but he usually uses a shotgun. This being Diablo, a shotgun would be out of place. So instead, he gets a sword.
There is currently no description for this weapon.
Thanks to Compher for finding this.
Outside References
THIS! IS! SPARTA! http://us.battle.net...the-300th-spear
This spear is both a reference to history and a movie. Both are based upon the Battle of Thermopylae and the 300 Spartans, among about a thousand warriors, who defended the one way into Greek Territory for seven days against the vast Persian Army.
This spears description is
The Hot Gate http://us.battle.net...em/the-hot-gate
Little known fact, Thermopylae means Hot Gate. It derives its name from the hot sulphur springs that reside there.
There is currently no description for this item.
Thanks to zerObit for finding this.
Bezoar Stone http://us.battle.net...em/bezoar-stone
This name became popular in the sixth Harry Potter book when Ron was poisened by some mead and Harry shoved a Bezoar Stone down Ron's throat. But a Bezoar is actually a ball of anything and everything that gets stuck in the stomach.
The description of this strange Spirit Stone is
Not Slytherin, Not Slytherin http://us.battle.net...he-sporting-hat
The name of this hat is most likely a little twist of the Sorting Hat in the Harry Potter Books/Movies. But that is all to go on as there is no current description for this item. I'm just hoping that it is gray, covers my eyes, and talks.
Batman! http://us.battle.net...-the-dark-night
This is obviously a reference to the Dark Knight, AKA Batman. The previous owner was a man named Bayne. As a commenter on the page has stated, Bruce + Wayne = Bayne. And all of us who have played WoW know how Blizzard is with names. /cough Harrison Jones /cough
The description of this cape is
Utility Belt? http://us.battle.net.../vigilante-belt
Nothing really points to this being a reference to Batman's Utility Belt but just the name, Vigilante Belt, has gotta reference it. The picture of it even looks a bit like the utility belt of Batman.
The description for this low level belt is
Kill http://us.battle.net/d3/en/item/kill
Nothing really appears special about this dagger. It's purple, looks to have spikes on it, but that is it in terms of the dagger. Until you look at the description. It is a quote that was made by the Joker in the Dark Knight. So with that in mind, the dagger being purple fits.
The dagger's description is
Thanks to zerObit for finding this.
Can't Touch This! http://us.battle.net.../hammer-jammers
Hammer time! These little pants are obviously a reference to the famous pants worn by MC Hammer in the song, You Can't Touch This. The picture of the item looks pretty close to the actual pants and I'm expecting them to be very baggy when worn in game.
These shiny pants have the description
Phalanx Lock http://us.battle.net...em/phalanx-lock
Little known fact, the Greeks created a formation of heavily armed infantry that had them all squished very close to each other. And isn't Diablo all about creating the most heavily armed warrior? This shield does not have a current description
Beckon Sail http://us.battle.net...tem/beckon-sail
Reference to the Actress Kate Beckonsale whom is the star of the Underworld movies. While a vampire seems more of a target of the demon hunters, she prefers using ranged weapons, guns, and it fits that a cloak is named after her.
The description of the cloak is
Thanks to Doomscream for finding this.
Lamentation http://us.battle.net...tem/lamentation
What is Best in Life? Barbarians of course. This belt is a reference to Conan the Barbarian. Conan was asked by a Mongol General, "What is best in life?" Conan responded with, "To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women." And this Might Belts description is almost exactly the same.
Thanks to Doomscream for finding this.
Etrayu http://us.battle.net/d3/en/item/etrayu
A tale that never ends. That is what the warrior, whom last used this bow, felt. The name might also be a reference to the Neverending Story. In the book, there is a boy warrior by the name of Atreyu. So anyone can easily see the reference there.
The description for this bow is
Thanks to Compher for finding this.
Logan's Claw http://us.battle.net...tem/logans-claw
This fist weapon is a reference to the X-Men character, Wolverine. But he also goes by the name, Logan. If you don't know, Wolverine has three claws on each hand. Which is exactly like the picture on this weapon. The description also hints at releasing the beast.
Thanks to Compher for finding this.
Kymbo's Gold http://us.battle.net...tem/kymbos-gold
This amulet is most likely a reference to boxer, Kimbo Slice. He wears a necklace that is a closed fist. This amulet's picture appears to have two hands on it that could reference the necklace.
The description for the amulet is
Tanks to Compher for finding this.
Mempo of Twilight http://us.battle.net...mpo-of-twilight
This is a helmet with the picture of a samurai mask. A mempo is also a mask that samurais use so the connection fits. While I could not find evidence of a media reference, the description talks about how it was used by the last of honor-bound warriors.
Undending War http://us.battle.net...pe/sanitys-edge
This sword has nothing really special involved with its name. But it's description is what is used as a reference. It is a quote by George Santayana who is a plilosopher.
Also, this weapon could be new or subject to change due the name, Sanitys Edge, in the link.
Thanks to zerObit for finding this.
Nutcracker! http://us.battle.net...item/nutcracker
Before you say, "This is Diablo! Why is there a play reference?" I would like to say this is not a reference to the play. But it is a very painful weapon as described by its description.
Thanks to zerObit for finding this.
Fenrir's Tooth http://us.battle.net...m/fenrirs-tooth
This axe has two possible references. Both involve a wolf. One of those two is a reference to Harry Potter and the werewolf Fenrir Greyback. The other one, is a reference to Norse Mythology, whom Fenrir was a monstrous wolf.
There is currently no description for this axe.
Thanks to zerObit for finding this and thanks to sunturion for the Norse reference.
Barter Town Pads http://us.battle.net...arter-town-pads
This is a reference to the movie, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. In the movie, Max finds a place called Bartertown and has an arena in it called the Thunderdome. The description references a town that has an arena in it.
Thanks to monolith38 for finding this.
Pride of Cassius http://us.battle.net...ride-of-cassius
This is Might Belt is a reference to famous boxer, Muhammad Ali. If you did not know, Muhammad Ali was born as Cassius Clay but then changed it when he joined the Nation of Islam, a Islamic group of African-Americans. This Mighty Belt even describes Muhammad Ali in its description.
Thanks to monolith38 for finding this.
Blind Faith http://us.battle.net...tem/blind-faith
This helmet appears to be referencing the first Star Wars movie, Episode IV: A New Hope. In the movie Ben Kenobi gives Luke Skywalker a helmet that doesn't allow him to see. Ben tells Luke, "Your eyes can deceive you. Don't trust them. Stretch out with your feelings!" And the description for this helmet is almost like that quote.
Thanks to monolith38 for finding this item and thanks to Keiser for the reference.
The Grin Reaper http://us.battle.net...the-grin-reaper
This one is a bit obvious but still. This Voodoo Mask is a reference to the infamous, Grim Reaper. Now then, is there a Grin's Scythe for my Witch Doctor?
This Masks description is
Quetzecoatl http://us.battle.net...tem/quetzecoatl
This Voodoo Mask is a reference to an Aztec Deity, who is the "feathered serpent" or Quetzacoatl. My guess is that ingame, the mask will resemble the face of a feathered serpent, much like the Aztec God.
This Mask currently has no description.
Odyn Son http://us.battle.net...n/item/odyn-son
This is most likely a reference to Thor, the Norse God of Thunder. Thor was the son of the god Odin, ruler of Asgard. Thor also weilded a one handed hammer called Mjölnir. While the names don't fit, the description of this hammer helps drive the point home.
Thanks to Tenhi for finding this.
Justice Lantern http://us.battle.net...justice-lantern
How cool would it be if you could play D3 as the Green Lantern? Well we wont find out anytime soon. But this ring should substitue that feeling with the ability to pretend being the Green Lantern.
This rings description is
Thanks to Tenhi for finding this.
PVP References
String of Ears http://us.battle.net/d3/en/item/string-of-ears
This is most likely a reference to the PvP system in D2. If you did not know, when you killed someone in D2, their ear would drop. And this belt is just MADE of ears. And the description helps reinforce the theory.
That is all of the interesting Legendary names that I noticed. Did I miss any? Most likely. And that's where I am asking ya'll to find more that I didn't really notice or didn't get a reference to. I intentionally left out the references to past Diablo games because it is expected that items will reference the past games.
Note - All items are not finalized and are subjected to change at anytime that Blizzard so chooses. None of the items have finalized stats yet and probably wont until close to or on release.
