Diablo 3 beta throws open doors, this weekend only
Diablo 3, the much-anticipated fantasy game, is scheduled for launch in North America on May 15. In the meantime, you can get your hands on the?Diablo 3?beta version.
Diablo 3: One of the most eagerly-anticipated games in recent memory, and also one of the most frequently delayed. Horizons readers will remember that back in September of last year,?Blizzard announced that Diablo 3, originally slated to arrive in 2011, would be held until early 2012 ? enough time for the developer to polish up the gameplay.?
Skip to next paragraph"[T]his week we pulled together people from all of the teams involved with the game to decide whether we felt it would be ready before the end of December, and we grudgingly came to the conclusion that it would not," a Blizzard exec wrote at the time. "Ultimately, we feel that to deliver an awesome Diablo sequel that lives up to our expectations and yours as well, we should take a little more time and add further polish to a few different elements of the game."
Since then, Blizzard has finalized a May 15 North America launch date for Diablo 3.?
This week comes news that Blizzard will stage an open beta event for Diablo 3, a kind of "stress test" for the forthcoming fantasy title. VentureBeat?reports?that the beta test will extend from Friday afternoon to 1 p.m. EST on Monday. Anyone with a valid?Battle.net account is invited to play (excepting folks in the?Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau markets, who are getting a separate beta event, on April 23).
You can get started here.?
Diablo 3, like Diablo 2 and the original Diablo, will take place in the the murky, shadowy world of Sanctuary. Among the playable character classes are the newly-introduced "monks" ? "priest-warriors who follow the divine injunctions of their Patriarchs, the rulers of Ivgorod," according to Blizzard. Sounds like some good, geeky fun to us.?

Sprint officially reminds us the Epic 4G Touch is getting Ice Cream Sandwich
That the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch is getting Ice Cream Sandwich shouldn't be a surprise -- we've already seen several leaked builds make their way out. But if case you need something more official in the way of an announcement, Sprint's just given it in its community forums.
Sprint will begin to roll out Google's latest version of Android™, Ice Cream Sandwich, to our customers in 2012. Ice Cream Sandwich will be available via an over-the-air update to a variety of devices including Galaxy™ S II, Epic™ 4G Touch and Nexus S™ and other key products in our line-up. Stay tuned for more details and exact timing.
The Nexus S 4G (never mind that Sprint calls it a mere "Nexus S" here), of course, is already getting its ICS update. So there's not a whole lot of meat here. But some word is better than none.

Gavin Degraw on DWTS Experience: "It Felt Like Summer Camp"
Gavin DeGraw may have had his last tango on television, but the singer-songwriter isn't upset about his recent Dancing With the Stars elimination. Gavin recently spoke to In Touch about getting the boot and revealed that he came away from the experience with nothing but positive feelings.
"It really felt like summer camp," Gavin said at the Origins Rocks Earth Month Concert. "The downside is that you're leaving all your new friends. The upside is that I had a great experience. I learned how to move my hips. And I picked up some of the fundamentals of a bunch of dances that I never had any idea what they were."
Gavin may have been at a disadvantage, though, as he had to fit practice time in between traveling to show dates. His dance partner, Karina Smirnoff, even came on tour with him to work on routines in every spare moment Gavin had. Still, he admits the schedule was grueling. "I definitely bit off more than I could chew as far as the physical amount of time to learn everything, but the experience was awesome. I really had a great time. The elimination was absolutely fair. I went there to have a great time, not for a trophy."
And based on Gavin's high spirits, it certainly seemed like he accomplished his goal. When asked shortly after the decision was made how he felt, Gavin maintained proper perspective. "I said, 'Hey, there are real problems. This is a luxurious problem.' It was such a great ride. If I could do it all over again, I'd do it exactly the same way."
