It looks like the content of the messages is returned via an ajax call from this URL: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blackstone/message.frag?current=<stuff> but the page gives an error when you try to access it. This URL shows SOME of the content of week 1: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blackstone/message.frag?current=week1 In fact, if you look at the source code for the above URL, you will see all of the content of the messages. However, the URL for week2 does not work at all: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blackstone/message.frag?current=week2 The source code just stops abruptly, indicating a serverside scripting error that ceased returning the page. Here is a link to the second article, access to which is denied: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blackstone/?article=week2 The messages are loaded using a simple javascript call. You can open up your browser's developer console and paste this: blackstone.message.load("week1", "article", 0); You'll see the animation for loading the first message. If you try to do blackstone.message.load("week2", "article", 0); you get errors. I have not yet found more information on these errors. This load function is basically an ajax call to the page I linked at the top of this comment (http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blackstone/message.frag?current=<stuff>). The <stuff> gets replaced by the first argument of the message.load() function. The main javascript source code can be found here: http://us.battle.net/sc2/static/js/blackstone/blackstone.js?v25 It might be that the content is simply not loaded on the site yet, but we at least know that the new content will be released weekly. Also, here's an image of larva: http://us.battle.net/sc2/static/images/blackstone/screenshots/01-larvae.jpg from: http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/17zgcf/blizzards_newest_websiteproject_project_blackstone/c8a8lic | ||

A Blackstone Fortress is a massive starship of unknown origin, first used by the Imperium as a naval base, then used by the forces of Chaos as a weapon of mass-destruction. | ||

Blizzard has a massive boner for Warhammer. Always has. | ||

Stick to your race and farm wins against the noobs playing a race they don't know ! | ||

Too lazy trying them all though, sorry. | ||
