01.07.2008Diablo III Hints?
Thanks to
Shacknews for the heads up.
Diablo III is one of those
games that most people assume
has to be in development, but
has still yet to be announced.
Now, several Blizzard and
Diablo fan sites have hosted
an online chat interview with
Diablo novelization author
Richard A. Knaak containing
numerous tidbits suggesting
that a third main game in
Blizzard's acclaimed hack and
slash RPG series is on the
way. Some choice quotes:
Q - Medievaldragon:
How much of the book is
creation of yours, and how
involved is Chris Metzen
behind the canon storyline of
Diablo: The Sin War Trilogy?
Do you think the ramifications
of this book impact in the
storyline of Diablo 3 the
game? A - Knaak: This is a
pure collaboration between
myself and Chris/Blizzard. All
that is written is passed by
him and the others there. This
will be canon and has adjusted
earlier info. The
ramifications here will be
used for any future
project...and I ain't writing
for a dead game. Q - Deathshade|EU:
So... Diablo 3? A - Knaak: I am not
writing for a dead world...but
a world with dead. nuff
said
Sweet, Diablo III. Now
all we need is Starcraft II
and Warcraft IV!

12.01.2009Rumor: Apple to buy Twitter?
It looks like the rumor mill is heating up again, because according to Tech Crunch, Apple may be looking into buying Twitter. One source says,
"Apple is in late stage negotiations to buy Twitter and is hoping to announce it at WWDC in June." However, we've heard nothing else so far.
There were rumors that Google was also in talks to buy Twitter, however, the founders say they do not want to sell. With Apple's WWDC coming up,
it's possible we could hear something, but given that Twitter doesn't want to sell, it's more than likely the same outcome will happen
with Google trying to buy Twitter. Personally I have to agree with Michael Arrington of Tech Crunch.
