Hurrah! Weekends are made up of all the most awesome stuff. It’s one of life’s most satisfying things after all – perhaps second only to getting to scratch an annoying itch.

For one, most of us who get the weekend off (either from school or work – or both?) finally get to park our merry butts in front of the Television and play video games with impunity. Aside from that, we get to catch up on pretty much everything we missed out on during the week. Which is what we’ve been doing for the past 52 weeks, in case you were really living under a rock the size of Mars.

In QuickJump QuickPeek’s second year, we decided to branch out… and dig deeper still. Because quite frankly, at the rate that each previous QuickPeek was going, it wasn’t getting any quicker of a peek, if you get our drift. So with that, we’ll be splitting it up and allow each of our blogs to go in-depth with the week’s news!

Thus, we bring in the Weekend Warriors!

The QuickJump QuickPeek v2.0 changelog:

Yeap! From now on, each blog will be getting its own individual QuickPeek, each tagged under a Weekend Warrior label. This grants the individual teams to report on more news and add a tiny bit of editorial introspective into the week’s news.

Yes, you heard us. This time around, QuickPeek – or should we now say Weekend Warrior? – won’t just be recapping news. We’ll be throwing in some incentive for you readers too. Little “behind-the-scenes” snippets that don’t quite make it to the regular updates you find on the site.

So, who are the Weekend Warriors?

We’ll have Weekend Warriors for all of our blogs in QJ.NET. That includes all gaming blogs – PSP, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, DS, PC, MMORPG, and WoW – plus those concerning Science and Technology – Science, Apple, Gadgets, and Mobile.

Check ‘em out – lined up looking all pretty like that! Shiny banners for our new columns!

Forget Arthas – it looks like Blizzard’s got larger, badder fish to fry at today’s Worldwide Invitational. The company has just unveiled during their opening ceremonies that their new mystery title is none other than Diablo 3.

Presenting the game at WWI was Diablo 3 lead designer Jay Wilson, who was more than happy to demonstrate the game’s features by playing through a dungeon with a dual axe-wielding barbarian. Here’s a couple of details on what he unveiled in the gameplay (via Gamespot):

• Beautiful new graphics
• New improvements include a hot bar, where you can use the mouse to cycle between the skills you want to use. It’s where the potion bar used to be.
• The quest giver from Diablo 2 is back, along with the same voice actor
• New character class: The Witch Physician, which can summon pets, mind control/ enemies, and summon a devastating locust swarm.
• Witch Doctor’s pet, the mongrel, gets an attack bonus when buffed with locust swarm
• Female characters for Barbarian and Witch Doctor introduced

Jay ended the demo by slaying what appears to be a level boss – one much larger than the previous bosses from both Diablo and Diablo 2. In line with this announcement, Blizzard’s also set up the game’s official site, which will carry screenshots and a clear copy of Jay’s demo video from WWI.

We’ve posted the link below, though we warn you – the site traffic’s pretty heavy at the moment. Now if you completely can’t wait to get a glimpse of the game or its accompanying trailer, we’re posted duplicates of them below.
