1) I love the video! It was too freakin short. I could watch the taskfore parts over and over. The inventions are nice too. I can see a lot of cool goodies coming from that! Costume pieces and temps are cool, but enhances are awesome. While this is all information I knew already it is nice to see it IN THE GAME.
2) I like the new Cryptic logo. While the old one was p|mp the new one look more like the logo of some serious folks that will churn out evil goodies. I so wish I could work with them, but all I do is map textures and make GUIs for mods. No college gaming degree here. *SIGH

But we can dream....
On the Cryptic Website, in their "In Development" section about future games, they have a concept picture of what I think would be a GREAT epic boss or something like Hami. It is the first pic, where it looks like a jungle and it is just a Giant, ancient, monster-thing with a big club. That would be cool.
But of course, Hami is fine now, especially since they plan on fixing it, and I am happy with that.

Instead of waiting for the animation to cycle around, why not just go to the development section and look at the bigger picture of the figure? Definitely looks Central American in design; it's carrying a macahuitl, and looks as if it might be derived from Quetzalcoatl in his role as the god of death.
