New Diablo Wallpaper
Blizzard has released their wallpaper for this week and we were finally treated to a Diablo one! You can also get it in a multitude of sizes here.
Sword of Justice Issue 2
Blizzard has announced the sale of Sword of Justice Issue #2. We already had a preview of issue 2 when it first went on sale which you can view here
Official Blizzard Quote:
The Dreadlands are being corrupted by madness, causing its victims to open their flesh and lash out at friend and foe alike. Jacob, a young fugitive from the city of Staalbreak, may be Sanctuary's only hope to stop this plague before it consumes or destroys mankind. His destiny is bound to a mysterious sword and the woman who watches over it, but his own troubled soul may keep him from embracing its true power in time.
Wiki Digest #7
by PhrozenDragon
I want to start this digest by giving a shoutout to CableCat, who has for almost two years been updating the ominously named Diablo: The Hell mod in the wiki. It's an overhaul of the very first Diablo game, and is reportedly quite the challenge in case you want to try it out.
Next, new user Sojourna has starting cleaning up a lot of pages by fixing spelling and grammatical errors, structuring up disheveled article structures and creating redirects to help users navigate the wiki more easily.
Many more lore articles have been brought up to par with the Book of Cain, among them Itherael, Silver City, Nehpalem, Mage Clans and others. I'm about halfway through the book updating process by now. The Book of Cain page itself has also been updated to give an overview of what it contains.
Apoc has updated the Diablo III Patches, but since the patch represents some rather large changes it's going to take a while to get it all implemented.
Finally I want to round off this digest with another shoutout, this one to Ebonmourn. He was hard at work updating our recipe pages in the wiki, particularly those of the Mystic. But as we all know, that effort was crushed earlier this week with the announcement that the mystic is no longer in the game.
I guess GT just thinks the only people playing games are the console kiddies. I guess that's why I never felt a draw to go to sites like IGN and GT.
wtf i was clearly the first and only comment for like 5 min then i got bumped and it says he posted 2 hours ago? i call mod hax
Congratulations to all who made it to the wiki shout-out! Personally, I am wishing there was a blush emoticon on this site because I really am feeling the "aw, shucks" moment.
Edit: Just want to point out -- and yes, I missed it myself -- that Nephalem is mispelled.
All the rest of the wallpapers either lack significance or are already understood. Any ideas?
Actually I agree with GT not putting it on. The list should only be for games actually coming out that year.

Damn straight!
Well the fact that it was on both lists, is the joke. Pretty stringy alongy if you ask me.
Rusty hearts is "in progress".
torchlight 2, might be worth trying if its cheap.
And then there's always updates to some or other things to keep an eye out for.
WoW isnt really even on my list anymore. >_>
Guild wars, looks good.
Mass effect, good game no doubt, but has EA all over it, and won't be on steam.
Not going to touch it - more should boycott EA and their damned Origin crap.
