Good Night you Drunk Lion

Ted Kennedy, dead at at 77. Normally we here at Everyone is a Sith, we like to mock the dead. But I can't really think of any way to make fun of Senator Kennedy. So, everyone drink a fifth of whiskey.

WoW Cataclysm Blizzcon Trailer

The trailer, at least, is compelling. The manner in which they redesigned old world content is pretty damned neat. I like the before/after shot of the Barrens. When they said "split the barrens in half" they meant it.

Diablo III - The Monk

Yesterday at Blizzcon Blizzard previewed the newest Diablo II class: The Monk. The Monk seems to be replacing the paladin as the non-tank fighter. From the Kotaku.com post:

They went over some Monk skills, like the Way of the Hundred Fists. The power features three clicks of the same power that transitions from a single attack to a massive AOE. Then there's Crippling Wave, which first slows the enemy, then reduces damage to the Monk. Each skill seems to have different stages. In Exploding Palm, the first and second hits do damage, the 3rd adds a damage-over-time effect, and, if the enemy dies by this DOT, it explodes.

The powers can be combined....so stage one of one power can be switched to stage two of the next and stage three of the next. The different combinations should make for many unique strategies.

Dii.net (formerly diabloii.net) has a good summery of the monk).

Here is the trailer
