As an operator of a site dedicated to producing cheats, I would like to know what Blizzard is going to do to encourage cheating. The site I administrate (EdgeofNowhere, formerly Blizzhackers until Blizzard deployed some lawyers) has over one hundred and fifty thousand registered users, and I believe this represents a demographic that Blizzard should not ignore. Diablo II was great for that, but it's starting to run out of steam; can we expect Diablo III to be just as fun to hack?

I thought that Hellboy 2 was significantly more influenced by Dunsany than Lovecraft. The reference to 'bethmoora' (butchered as the context is) makes it clear where del Tormo is drawing inspiration from. This is in keeping with the Ogdru-Jahad and other miscellaneous bits of theogony established in the original Hellboy comics, though. All of that bears far more resemblance to Dunsany's "Gods of Pegana" than any piece of the Cthulhu mythos (though Lovecraft's dreamlands stories are close). I for one, was very happy to see a director acknowledge Dunsany, as he is so often passed up in favor of Lovecraft. On the subject of The Hobbit movie, I think that Hellboy 2 clearly showed that del Tormo is very capable of creating very Tolkienesque plotlines, but I think his distinct visual style migt be a bad fit for a direct adaptation of Tolkien's work.
