This Diablo III Animated Short Is Supremely Metal

Rad.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Can't think of a better random thread to get First! in. Oh, good stuff.

random

Oreo, Ark-angel of Hope!

@SpasticHeathen: Just know that I held off long enough for you to post first!

I'm really looking forward to this game.

Cool stuff about the Diablo lore.

For those interested in more of the D3 lore: Book of Cain on amazon has TONS of more information about the Angels and the burning hells. I bought it a while back and have been re-reading it as the D3 release comes up.

pretty cool

What IS the deal with the new video player?

It's still just Youtube, right?

The video - it looks really fucking Japanese. Not so much metal.

Chirp.

Holy shit! I want more!

Peter Chung? I hope so.

You got me at metal

Very cool, 7 days left until demon slaying.

Just fucking take my money already. Oh, wait, they already have! GOOD TALK.

Neat.

since the new player videos have been looking more pixelated even in 720p, they look like the gamespot ones, I guess they toned down the bitrate or something, or maybe I'm just crazy but I don't remember ever noticing pixelation on old videos.

Oh god. My life is going to be over soon.

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMNNNNN BBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOYYYYY! :O

gee i wonder if imperius is going to turn evil

This just makes me wish I could play Warcraft Adventures that much more.

Awesome!

Liked the story. Didn't like the animation.

I'm partial to Genndy Tartakovsky(Samurai Jack, Dexter's Labratory, Powerpuff Girls, Clone Wars) when it comes to this particular style of animation. He's the unrivaled master of it.

Take a look at his animated prologue to the Priest movie...

Similar style, just much better. Way more clear, with powerful kinetic choreography and epic dynamic composition. Larger than life awesome.

The end of days is near! Repent! Repent!

This certainly doesn't help dispel my suspicion that Blizzard only knows how to write in cliches.

Not gonna lie... I was little bored... but that's Blizzard story for you right there.

I have no idea what just happened in that video. Hopefully D3 gives a recap for us weak in D3 lore.

Stay awhile and listen!

Hey that narrator is also in Skyrim.

@Fugaa: It's too obvious I think someone else will turn evil!

Did some say Heavy Metal 2000?

Horadric Metal in the credits!

This is awesome!

Oh look, it's Mumrik.

It doesn't look remotely Japanese. If you had ever actually seen anything Japanese you would know that. You're just here to be a troll, like always.

FLY MY BEAUTIES /Brian Blessed

That was boring.

Also, for some strange reason I felt like I was watching an old school FOX Saturday Morning cartoon like the original X-Men or Spider-Man.

Nope not at all japanese... it looks like cheap korean animation, maybe. Im guessing from the credits, thats what it is. I'll give you that it looks like american attempt at anime, but not very successful.

So...you're going after the arch angels instead of the prime evils this game?

Whoa. That was ballsnasty and has sparked more excitement in me for Diablo III than anything I've previously seen! I don't mean to troll, it's just that after Torchlight it's been so hard for me to get excited for Diablo!

Funny, all this happened to me once.

titmouse does it again

I got D3 for free, but in my heart i still want them to take my money.

That was awesome.

So close yet so far... this last week has already felt excruciatingly long.

This.

Also, that video does nothing for me. Just release the fucking game.

A late April 1st joke? I very rarely whine, but this is not ok. This is not what I want from Diablo. I want beautiful CG intros and interludes. And darkness. Not bright toons. The game looks like it will provide that. So what the hell is this? Animated series forthcoming or what?

Let the bodies hit the flooooooooooor!

That was fucking awesome

Needs more Nathan Explosion.

Tough crowd? That was the sickest fucking thing I've seen. Aeon Flux guys. Aeon Flux.
