Wasnt it Emofag who said it wasnt gonna be Diablo3 and ppl who saw some kind of devil in the ice pic was delluded.

Well guess what,he was wrong ;)

They also added a rune that looks like a symbol from star craft, and a little bit of the ice in the middle melted.

It looks like they will have news on all 3 of their big franchises diablo/starcraft/warcraft.

I haven' t played it either... It' s an RPG game right?

gameplay looks boring, i dunno what you guys all hyped about, but I' ve never played Diablo.

Same here bro . I don' t see what all the hype is. Sounds like its time for a download . I don' t want to be in the dark when this comes out.

Its not hype. Hype is for something unknown, Diablo is the god of action rpg, gameplay is unparalelled, if you havent played it, play through the other two, excellent games.
