I bet druid moonkin players will love this action figure. All those detailed feathers, and how neatly it resembles the in-game model. The ears are a bit weird, but everything else is a match. Oh well, might be I'm Horde.
I wish I could go to SDCC. It's thrilling to hear about upcoming products, and to pre-order on the spot.
It's amazing how much World of Warcraft fans immerse in the expanded worlds of novels. There are over 15 Warcraft novels to date, several mangas, comic book limited series, the ongoing series that ended in Dec 2009 (26 issues), and the upcoming Graphic Novel.
Finally a new Diablo lore product to calm my hunger.
Seems patch 4.2 is going live today. I'm currently downloading a 130MB file from the servers.
It's been in development about year and a half. The original ongoing series was cancelled by December 2009 with the announcements they would get back in graphic novel format.
Sawmwise is a gaming celebrity for nigh two decades. His artwork and style has shaped up the Warcraft games.
I wish I could go to San Diego Comic Con, just for the thrill of spending some time in the signing booth. I met him at the BlizzCon press room talking about Wrath of the Lich King.
I also met Walter and Louise Simonson at New York Comic Con. Would be very nice to meet them again. Awesome couple. Actually, here is the video interview I did with them. ...
Which Diablo III image did you like the most, and which disappointed the most?
I liked the Caldeum guards with their very detailed armor, and the Tomb Viper because it means they might deepen into the lore of the humanoid vipers found in The Claw Viper Temple at the Valley of Snakes in Act II. That's where you complete the Horadric Staff and The Tainted Sun quests.
The Tomb Viper concept art interest me from a lore point of view because in the whole game ...
Great chance for those who wish to join Blizzard careers by talking with the executives and game directors and producers.
The runestones system was revealed a few days ago. Blizzard released 5 videos to show how each of the five types of runestones can affect a skill.

It's very likely what this new wizard screenshot shows is a variation of the Wave of Force skill never seen before.
Great news for Warcraft and StarCraft manga fans. Tokyopop announced last month they were going to shutdown their California headquarter on May 31.
Cryptozoic is taking the torch to keep the Warcraft and StarCraft manga alive now that no more reprints will come out from Tokyopop.
Actually, Blizzard Entertainment has said very often in the past two months that they are aiming for a late 2011 release date. I wouldn't be surprised if they do ship it within 2011.
However, it will ship when it's ready, and they aren't willing to compromise quality.
During the Activision Blizzard Q1 2011 financial results conference, Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime said Diablo III beta will start in Q3 2011 which spans July-September range.
...
Well, the shipping is free. That's not bad at all.
Perks will only be available in the Collector's Edition. Usually, Blizzard reveals details of the Collector's Edition three or four months in advance.
Cataclysm expansion shipped December 7, 2010. Collector's Edition was announced August 17, 2010.

Third Quarter starts July, which is the anniversary of Diablo II (2000) and the anniversary of the official announcement of Diablo III in Paris at the 2008 Blizzard Worldwide Invitationals.
It's still two months away, but beta is coming baby!!! Gimme
Sure? I mean, it was public knowledge. Mike Morhaime said beta details would be revealed at the next call during the online broadcast. So that's a fact.
The past 10 years I have gotten access to beta and blizzcon tickets for staff and to giveaway.
Hmm, I recommend everyone to enter their Battle.net account to make sure the beta section has the Diablo options enabled.
This allows Blizzard to send to your account bound email a beta invitation.
Tip: Always make sure the landing URL (when you hover your mouse cursor on a link) directs you to battle.net. Many scams appear around times like this when beta is about to be announced.
Scammers take you to a page similar to Battle.net to make you...
I'm so happy to ask: Who is thrilled and excited?! Will it start in a couple of weeks?
The berserker and the dark demon are two melee demons summoned by the Dark Cultists. Those have to be dealt with at a distance to prevent getting lethal damage. It might be a good idea to kill all cultists to prevent further summonings.
Latest interviews point out toward a 2011 release. No official release date yet. However, be alert on May 9th. This is when Mike Morhaime (Blizzard CEO) will reveal details of Diablo III Beta at the Activision Blizzard Q1 2011 financial results conference call.
If he says beta starts in july or earlier -- take in mind Blizzard's previous betas have lasted 4-6 months range. If you count your fingers as months, that means a potential release date between November and Dec...
During downtime all attendees will be given a tour throughout the Cryptozoic offices. Make sure to bring cameras.
