Diablo 3 cartoon shows angels vs. demons

With Diablo III actually, genuinely, seriously launching next week, Blizzard has revealed the final piece of its community-unlocked puzzle. Now available for your viewing pleasure is a six-minute animated trailer showing the angels of the High Heavens throwing down against the demons of the Burning Hells.
Unfortunately, as is so often the case, those angels are not quite as pure as they may pretend. Oh no! Could this be the setup for Diablo III, or merely a pretty little cartoon for us to enjoy?
Animation studio Titmouse and director Peter Chung are behind this.
Diablo III launches for PC and Mac on May 15. Tuesday! Oh gosh, it's so close.

You do realise "halitosis" is a made up disease don't you? Invented by the LISTERINE company to sell mouth wash, and thought up for the advert by Harry Enfield.
Now don't you look silly?-

I'm glad it was posted. Youtube requires an account to view it, and I'm just not willing.

Why is every news site referring to this using the word "Cartoon"? It's completely misrepresentative. Here, from wikipedia:
"While "animation" designates any style of illustrated images seen in rapid succession to give the impression of movement, the word "cartoon" is most often used in reference to TV programs and short films for children featuring anthropomorphized animals, superheroes, the adventures of child protagonists and related genres."
It'd be much more accurate to call this an "animated short" - note this is what blizzard calls it on their own site.-
Because it's a cartoon.

Way to willfully disregard everything but the first sentence in his post.

This. I half expected Snarf to jump out at any moment and ram Diablo's soulstone into his forehad.

Diablo looks like a villain from He-Man in it. Looks like a Saturday morning cartoon from back then.
-
The word Cartoon trivializes this Video Game Cartoon For Children
-
Hey, guess what? Graphic novels are still comic books. Nothing to be ashamed of.
-
Looks like a shitty cartoon to me, I love Diablo but this looks and sounds pretty crappy and like a sunday morning cartoon

Don't get the rage personally. If I hadn't been in Beta, and I can say this with absolute truth, I wouldn't give a toss. So I'll have the Beta Sigil, I haven't done any of the other stuff at the reveal website, I just don't care enough.
All I wanna do it play the game.-
If anything it is entertaining just watching the people post about how Blizzard sucks and it's not fair and setting dangerous precedents. Seriously, over a flag logo and a useless feat? Here's a quote:
"Wow, complete jerk move.
It's something we had no control over and should have no special reward for. Playing the beta was enough reward, and this is simply unfair to everyone who didn't win that particular lottery.
More disturbingly, this sets a precedent for future exclusive in-game rewards that can't be achieved through normal means "just because"-
I AM DISTURBED.

Well, it is unfair. I was in the closed beta but I hate these kind of exclusive unlocks, especially the ones that are flat out impossible for some people to earn. This is nothing new though, as always it's a calculated PR move weighing the loyalty of the people that get it against the annoyance of the people that don't.
-
-
You know what else is equally "unfair?" The discrimination against future players who won't know about http://reveal.diablo3.com until after May 18th. They won't be able to get those 5 class sigils.
Total, unfair favoritism to people who know about it and have access to the internet right now. It will be flat out impossible to earn them after May 18th. -

I'm just so mad I didn't get my Pokemon toy.
-
They did this in Starcraft 2 as well. You get some dumb icon if you went to Blizzcon. All I think when I see them is, "that guy went to blizzcon." There is no reason to get your panties in a knot over this.
-
Collectors editions have this, too.
If you don't log into WoW on the anniversery day, then you're missing out on another feat of strength + possible pet.
In WoW, there are feats of strength for server firsts (hitting a level, downing a raid boss, etc.). Only one person per server will get those. Achievements that are not possible to get also become Feats of Strength.
Tribes Ascend had some badge for people who hit a certain level by the end of their beta. SWTOR has a title or some shit, and another's coming for people who do certain things on the PTR. I think a lot of MMO's have some way of showing it off, tbh. Didn't SC2 have something as well?
This isn't particularly uncommon, and really isn't a big deal. They're doing something to show off for people who probably provided a bit of data to help fix the game. That's it.

Hate to be the one to break this to ya, but life isn't fair. Sorry.

That would be hilarious and awesome.
-
I support this idea!
-
Failcheivments would be awesome in hardcore games, which would permanently subtract from your total achievement score.
Like say, Dark Souls.
* Die 30 times to the same boss
* Use estus 10 times without killing an enemy
* Fall to your death while a blood stain exists containing 10,000+ souls -

Totally.
Logically, I can make no real argument about why this irritates me. And yet it does. And this is precisely the mentality I am personally experiencing.-
Well, despite my post above, I feel its probably normal to just be irritated by it, regardless of age. What I feel is silly is how big of a deal people are making it out to be.
Would we all rather have free, uninhibited access to the same stuff as everyone else, whether it be from Beta participation, limited marketing promos, or even the CE version, no matter how trivial or cosmetic? Well, yeah, of course! I mean, why not?
Is it worth freaking the fuck out like some people are on the battle.net forums/reddit/whatever? Probably not. =)-
Seeing the sigil in the wild will only remind of all those times I wanted to play the beta so bad, and couldn't.
But yeah, does it matter? Hell the fuck no.-
-
Probably not, man. But he... but... WAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The tears of lonely nerds only serve to make Blizzard stronger. I love when people cry over stuff like this, it's hilarious.

So, they get it even if they never logged in or downloaded the client?
-
-
Maybe they should add it as a Feat of Luck instead.
-
-
I know people who are severe achievement whores, and will lol at them. Actually, hey probably won't care either, since they probably got it too.
