Podcasts about Blizzard

Rebecca Rowland returns to The Dark Mind Podcast to discuss her new novel Eminence Front, releasing January 20th from CLASH Books.Set on a single New England street during a brutal snowstorm, the novel follows neighbors as an ancient entity preys on their secrets, sins, and regrets.We explore why snow creates such effective psychological horror, from its sound-muffling properties to the sensation of being smothered alive.Rebecca reveals how the title came from a Who song about false facades and self-deception, themes that run through every character on the street.We discuss agoraphobia as both vulnerability and advantage, dementia as a Cassandra narrative device, and why betrayal trauma appears in all of her work.Rebecca shares her extensive research process, from the science of snow to real historical blizzard accounts that inspired scenes in the book.We dig into the challenge of writing deeply flawed characters who are neither heroes nor villains, just people making terrible choices under pressure.Rebecca also talks about her novella Shagging the Boss, her background in psychology, and why she believes most people are fundamentally good despite writing horror.This conversation goes deep into quiet horror, art house atmosphere, and what happens when suburban pretense collapses under supernatural weight.Guest Websitehttps://rowlandbooks.com​Books Page (All Titles & Anthologies)https://rowlandbooks.com/the-books​Unburied: A Collection of Queer Dark Fictionhttps://rowlandbooks.com/unburied​Generation X-ed Anthologyhttps://rowlandbooks.com/generation-xed​Guest Social MediaInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/rebecca_rowland_books/​Blueskyhttps://bsky.app/profile/rebecca-rowland.bsky.socialX (Twitter)https://x.com/BecRowlandTikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@beccalrowGoodreads Author Pagehttps://www.goodreads.com/author/show/4738797.Rebecca_Rowland​Denver Horror Collective Profilehttps://denverhorror.com/rebecca-rowland/​Buy Rebecca Rowland's WorkAuthor Hub for All Books (various retailers linked per title)https://rowlandbooks.com/the-books​Amazon – Rebecca Rowland Bookshttps://www.amazon.com/s?k=rebecca+rowland+authorThriftBooks – Author Pagehttps://www.thriftbooks.com/a/rebecca-rowland/924284/​Godless – Rebecca Rowland Page (eBooks and more)https://godless.com/products/rebecca-rowland​Powell's Books – Search Results for Rebecca Rowlandhttps://www.powells.com/books/search?query=Rebecca+Rowland​Goodreads – Works by Rebecca Rowlandhttps://www.goodreads.com/author/list/4738797.Rebecca_Rowland​Dead Sky Publishing – White Trash & Recycled Nightmareshttps://deadskypublishing.com/portfolio-item/white-trash-recycled-nightmares/​(Unburied, Generation X-ed, American Cannibal, and other titles also link out to individual purchase and audio options from the books hub on her site.)​Support The Dark Mind Podcasthttps://www.patreon.com/c/thedarkmindpodcast

A true crime / survival mystery from the Siberian wilds: in August 1993, seven hikers entered the Hamar-Daban Mountains of Buryatia (near Lake Baikal)—and only one walked back out. What happened on that windswept ridge has been called the “Buryat Dyatlov Pass”: a sudden storm, a frantic descent, and then a cascade of bizarre symptoms—foaming at the mouth, blood, panic, and collapse—leaving six bodies scattered on an exposed ledge while a terrified teen survivor staggered to a river and found help.  Officials ruled hypothermia and closed the case. But the details refused to stay buried: claims of missing eyes later attributed to scavengers, questions about food and exhaustion, and theories ranging from toxic exposure to military testing to the possibility of cold/altitude-related pulmonary edema.  Inside this episode:The trek: Lyudmila Korovina leads six young hikers into the Hamar-Daban rangeThe turn: August 4–5 — a brutal storm hits at roughly 2,300 metersThe collapse: eyewitness survivor account of sudden convulsions and rapid deathsThe recovery: why the scene looked “impossible,” and what time + wildlife can doThe official file: why authorities said hypothermia—and what they dismissedTheories vs. evidence: separating folklore from what the record can actually supportThis is a case where nature, fear, and unanswered questions collide—and the only person who knows the final minutes had to live with them forever. We're telling that story tonight.

Of all the great voices of the miners during the West Virginia Mine Wars, Bill Blizzard is the only one to be able to see his work through to the very end. A UMWA leader, Blizzard witnessed the event's beginning in Paint Creek & Cabin Creek and was with the miners at the Battle of Blair Mountain, assuming the role of general.  As the name implies, Bill Blizzard was a storm for which the anti-union forces were not prepared.

This week we're looking back at the events of 2025, with our special guest Phil Ulrich. Rather than going at it chronologically, Matt consults a D8, which means we discuss one of our favorite things from the year which actually happened last: player housing! But there were a ton of things that happened in all of Blizzard's games this year, from Plunderstorm's return to Legion Remix, three Hearthstone expansions, and a ton of Diablo 4 seasons (though who can tell the difference between them). We also met new friends like Valentina, the lizard that was a part of a Hearthstonemarketing campaign we would die for, and King Krush, also a Hearthstone-based lizard. Probably a coincidence.The In Memoriam section this year is Warcraft Rumble. May it rest in peace.Then, all the other games that had us in a chokehold. But honestly, it's mostly the player housing.If you have a few minutes, please fill out our survey to tell us what you think about the podcast.

Kick off the Best of 2025 with one of the most intense episodes we released on the Weekly Spooky horror podcast—a brutal winter survival horror story where a long-haul trucker gets trapped at a lonely truck stop after a sudden blizzard buries the world in white.The bathroom run turns into a nightmare when his tracks vanish, the store is locked and dark, and something moves in the storm—something too big, too patient, and too wrong to be a deer. Back in his cab, with fuel running low and the wind battering the doors, the real terror begins: nudges against the truck, glimpses of massive horns, and a towering creature with a skull-like face that keeps reappearing closer… like it's learning him.Glass splinters. The windshield gives. The gunshots don't do what they're supposed to do. And when the only safe place left is beneath his own trailer, he realizes the storm isn't trying to kill him nearly as much as whatever's hiding inside it.If you love cryptid horror, creature features, blizzard horror, and stories about being stranded with a monster, this is a Best of 2025 must-listen.I Was Hunted by a Cryptid in a Snowstorm — by Michael KelsoYou can purchase books from this author here: https://geni.us/michaelkelsoauthorhttps://www.reddit.com/user/Horror_writer_1717/

Today, we delve into the pressing meteorological phenomena affecting various regions across the United States. Our primary focus centers on the continuation of lake effect snow, particularly in the vicinity of lakes Erie and Ontario, as lingering heavy bands persist through midweek. As gale conditions prevail over Lake Erie, with winds reaching 30 to 35 knots and wave heights of 8 to 13 feet, we underscore the significant hazards posed to small craft and shoreline travel. Furthermore, we address the ongoing recovery efforts in the aftermath of a debilitating blizzard that has left over 150,000 without power, with Michigan bearing the brunt of the impacts. Additionally, we explore the forecast for Southern California, where moderate to strong Santa Ana winds precede a series of rain events that may provoke hazardous conditions, including potential mudslides and debris flows on recent burn scars.Takeaways:* The ongoing weather events include lake effect snow affecting areas downwind of the Great Lakes today.* California is experiencing moderate to strong Santa Ana winds, posing risks for hazardous conditions.* Power restoration efforts are underway following the extensive blizzard impacts that affected multiple states.* Significant rainfall is anticipated in Southern California midweek, leading to potential mudslides and flooding.* The recent magnitude 5.1 earthquake in Alaska prompted a tsunami information statement but no immediate warnings were issued.* Winter advisories and lake effect snow warnings remain active across various states, impacting travel conditions significantly.Sources[USGS — M5.1, 93 km N of Yakutat, AK | https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us7000rlhy][NWS Los Angeles (LOX) — Rain/Santa Ana Overview | https://www.weather.gov/lox/][NWS LOX Area Forecast Discussion | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?issuedby=LOX&site=LOX&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1][Iowa DOT/DPS — Plan to Reopen I-35 (News Release) | https://iowadot.gov/news/2025-12-29/iowa-dot-and-dps-plan-reopen-interstate-35-early-afternoon-december-29][KCRG — I-35 Fully Reopens (Local Confirmation) | https://www.kcrg.com/2025/12/29/i-35-fully-reopens-after-nearly-24-hour-blizzard-closure-north-central-iowa/?outputType=amp][NWS Baltimore/Washington (LWX) — High Wind Warning (Highland Co.

A powerful winter storm is currently impacting the upper Midwest and Great Lakes, resulting in blizzard conditions that pose significant hazards to travel and safety. As we delve into this episode, we will explore the ongoing weather events, including whiteouts and scattered power outages affecting regions from Northern Michigan to parts of Minnesota. Additionally, we will discuss the gale force winds and rough seas prevalent along the Texas and Louisiana coasts, which are exacerbated by a strong post-frontal surge. Our analysis will also cover the recent earthquake detected near Susanville, California, and the resultant advisories in effect for wind and marine conditions along the Pacific Coast. We remain vigilant in monitoring these weather developments and their implications for the affected areas.Takeaways:* A significant winter storm currently impacts the upper Midwest and Great Lakes regions.* Travel conditions remain perilous due to ongoing winter storm warnings and advisories.* Gale force winds are creating hazardous marine conditions along the Texas and Louisiana coasts.* Northern Michigan is experiencing heavy snowfall and dangerously low visibility due to the storm.* Blizzard warnings are in effect for parts of Minnesota, with dangerously low wind chill factors.* Earthquake activity was noted in Northern California, though no major damage has been reported.Sources[USGS Latest Earthquakes | https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/][NWS Los Angeles AFD | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?issuedby=LOX&product=AFD&site=LOX&version=1][NWS San Diego | https://www.weather.gov/sgx/][SFGATE | https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/magnitude-4-7-earthquake-strikes-outside-21265540.php][NHC Tropical Weather Discussion — Gulf gale | https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIATWDAT.shtml][NWS Lake Charles Marine WWA | https://www.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=hgx&wwa=all][NWS Marquette DSS Packet | https://www.weather.gov/media/mqt/DssPacket.pdf][NWS Gaylord DSS Packet | https://www.weather.gov/media/apx/DssPacket.pdf][NWS Twin Cities — Warnings | https://www.weather.gov/mpx/][NWS Minneapolis MapClick (Minneapolis) | https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?textField1=44.9618&textField2=-93.2668][NWS WWA Summary — Winter Weather Advisory (Monroe County) | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=usa&wwa=winter+weather+advisory][NWS Bismarck | https://www.weather.gov/bis/][NWS Grand Forks WWA text | https://www.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=bis&wwa=all][NWS Houston/Galveston Marine | https://www.weather.gov/hgx/][NWS Marine Zone — Galveston Bay | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?issuedby=HGX&product=CWF&site=NWS][NWS Lake Charles Marine WWA (TX/LA waters) | https://www.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=hgx&wwa=all][NWS Austin/San Antonio Fire Danger Statement | https://www.weather.gov/ewx/] This is a public episode.

Warcraft II is one of the most influential RTS games of all time.  It brought the genre to the mainstream with insane sales, and set the standard for UI and tech trees for years to come.  Blizzard had cracked the code on what made RTS games tick, and it laid the groundwork for the classics that would come in its wake.But for all its influence, how much fun is Warcraft II to actually play today?  Does it suffer from its far more simplistic mechanics and mirrored factions, or is there something elegant and refined about a more stripped back and focused RTS?On this episode, we discuss:PresentationHow well does Warcraft 2 sell its aesthetic and lore?  Do its cartoony graphics hold up well compared to RTS's of today?  Are the responses of its units annoying or endearing?MacroAre the macro elements of Warcraft II well realised?  How does it balance building up your economy versus developing a standing army to take the battle to the enemy?  Are there diverse objectives or constraints to liven up the experience of building up your base?MicroHow fun is it to micro your units in Warcraft II?  Do the lack of quality of life features like unit queuing, rally points and limited units per control group make the experience miserable?  Are there any units that stand out as affecting the flow of battle?We answer these questions and many more on the 136th episode of the Retro Spectives Podcast!—Intro Music: KieLoBot - Tanzen KOutro Music: Rockit Maxx - One point to anotherWarcraft 2 OST: Glenn Stafford—If you'd like more RTS discussion, Pat guested on the Nostalgia Goggles Podcast for Starcraft 1!  You can listen to that episode here.—Was your experience playing Warcraft 2 back in the day radically different from our own?  Were there any strategies or tactics that we missed?  What other under the radar modern RTS games should we play?  Come let us know what you think on our community discord server!You can support the show monetarily on our buy me a coffee page!

he knew how important these friendly moments were in hard times, but the news of the snowstorm held significance.Hu: „Lehet, hogy segítened kell nekünk,” mondta csöndesen.En: "You might need to help us," he said quietly.Hu: Bálint, bár kissé csalódott, egy bólogatással jelezte, hogy készen áll.En: Although slightly disappointed, Bálint nodded to show he was ready.Hu: Ahogy visszatértek a gazdaság épületéhez, a szél erősebb lett.En: As they returned to the farm building, the wind grew stronger.Hu: A hó már vastag réteggel fedte a felszíneket.En: The snow was already covering the surfaces with a thick layer.Hu: Áron, Lilla és Bálint gyorsan nekifogtak a munkának.En: Áron, Lilla, and Bálint quickly set to work.Hu: Az ólak előtti részt tisztították, a szénát összehordták, s közben Lilla néha nevetve hópelyheket kapott el a nyelvével.En: They cleared the area in front of the sheds, gathered hay, and meanwhile, Lilla occasionally caught snowflakes on her tongue with laughter.Hu: A vihar csak fokozódott, és Áronnak döntést kellett hoznia.En: The storm only intensified, and Áron had to make a decision.Hu: Rendesen a családi farm, vagy a barátok vártak segítségére, de most az első helyen a farm védelme állt.En: Usually, the family farm or his friends awaited his help, but now protecting the farm took precedence.Hu: "Álljunk meg egy pillanatra," mondta Áron.En: "Let's pause for a moment," said Áron.Hu: "Csoportosítsunk, ki mit csinál.En: "Let's regroup, so we know who does what.Hu: Így hamarabb végzünk.En: That way, we'll finish faster."Hu: "Lilla és Bálint bólintottak, és így is tettek.En: Lilla and Bálint nodded and did just that.Hu: Az összefogás ereje csodákat művelt.En: The power of teamwork worked wonders.Hu: Órák múltán a feladatok végezve voltak.En: Hours later, the tasks were completed.Hu: A nap már alábukott, de a három fiatal a munkájával egy meleg ház várta vissza őket.En: The sun had already set, but the three young people were awaited by a warm house for their work.Hu: Karácsony estéjén a kandalló melege körül az Illés család boldogan ülte körül az asztalt.En: On Christmas Eve, around the warmth of the fireplace, the Illés family happily gathered around the table.Hu: Áron hálásan tekintett Lillára és Bálintra, akik nélkül most nem tudna élvezni a kikapcsolódást.En: Áron looked gratefully at Lilla and Bálint, without whom he wouldn't be able to enjoy the relaxation.Hu: Az asztalon a sült tök illata keveredett a fenyőágéval.En: On the table, the smell of roasted pumpkin mingled with that of pine branches.Hu: Áron megértette, hogy a család és barátság az, ami igazán számít.En: Áron understood that family and friendship are what truly matter.Hu: Felelősség és kötelesség, de a szeretet ereje kíséri útján.En: With responsibility and duty, the power of love accompanies him on his journey.Hu: A hóesésen túl, az egymásba fonódó kezek ereje átmelegítette a téli estét.En: Beyond the snowfall, the strength of interlocked hands warmed the winter evening.Hu: A karácsonyi csillogás kötette őket össze, mindenkire emlékeztette az ünnep valódi értékét.En: The sparkle of Christmas bound them together, reminding everyone of the true value of the holiday.

Fluent Fiction - Swedish: Braving The Blizzard: A Christmas Eve of Tradition and Triumph Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sv/episode/2025-12-21-23-34-02-sv Story Transcript:Sv: Snöflingorna föll sakta mot marken, tyst täckande Dalarna i ett tjockt, vitt täcke.En: The snowflakes fell slowly to the ground, quietly covering Dalarna in a thick, white blanket.Sv: På en liten gård, där den varma stugan lyste som en fyr i vinternatten, bodde Lars.En: On a small farm, where the warm cottage shone like a beacon in the winter night, lived Lars.Sv: Han var en flitig bonde med ett stort hjärta.En: He was a diligent farmer with a big heart.Sv: Hans mål var att sälja sina hemgjorda syltburkar och handgjorda hantverk på julmarknaden i byn.En: His goal was to sell his homemade jars of jam and handcrafted goods at the Christmas market in the village.Sv: Det var tradition, en han värderade högt.En: It was a tradition, one he valued highly.Sv: Men i år var det annorlunda.En: But this year was different.Sv: En oväntad snöstorm hotade att stoppa marknaden.En: An unexpected snowstorm threatened to halt the market.Sv: Lars kände sig orolig, men hans yttre var lugnt.En: Lars felt worried, but his exterior remained calm.Sv: Hans gård var vacker; de storslagna granarna runt gården bar sina viktiga snömantlar, och de cirklade runt stugan som trogna vakter.En: His farm was beautiful; the majestic fir trees around the farm wore their significant snow cloaks, encircling the cottage like loyal guards.Sv: Grannarna, Karin och Björn, såg hur snön föll tätare.En: The neighbors, Karin and Björn, saw how the snow fell more densely.Sv: De kom över för att hjälpa till.En: They came over to help.Sv: "Lars, du kan inte stanna här och vänta.En: "Lars, you cannot stay here and wait.Sv: Vi kan hjälpa dig," sa Karin med ett vänligt leende.En: We can help you," said Karin with a friendly smile.Sv: Björn nickade, "Tillsammans kan vi ta oss genom snön."En: Björn nodded, "Together we can make it through the snow."Sv: Lars funderade.En: Lars pondered.Sv: Han kände hänsyn för traditioner och förstod betydelsen av att nå marknaden.En: He had regard for traditions and understood the importance of reaching the market.Sv: Men att riskera vägen i en sådan storm skrämde honom.En: But risking the road in such a storm scared him.Sv: Samtidigt, att missa julmarknaden skulle betyda problem för hans gård under vintern.En: At the same time, missing the Christmas market would mean trouble for his farm during the winter.Sv: Efter att ha tänkt klart, tackade Lars sina vänner.En: After thinking it through, Lars thanked his friends.Sv: "Vi försöker tillsammans," sa han slutligen.En: "We try together," he finally said.Sv: De lastade släden med burkar och hantverk, och tillsammans med Karin och Björn började de den snötäckta resan mot byn.En: They loaded the sled with jars and crafts, and together with Karin and Björn, they began the snow-covered journey towards the village.Sv: Vägen var svår.En: The road was difficult.Sv: Snön yrde och vinden blåste.En: The snow whipped around, and the wind blew.Sv: Men de kämpade vidare, tröstade av skrattet och den varma gemenskapen.En: But they persevered, comforted by laughter and warm companionship.Sv: När de äntligen nådde marknaden, fladdrade lyktorna i vinden, men de prydde platsen med ett älskvärt ljus.En: When they finally reached the market, the lanterns fluttered in the wind, but they adorned the place with a lovely light.Sv: Mot alla odds gick marknaden av stapeln.En: Against all odds, the market took place.Sv: Människor hade trotsat vädret, dragna av traditionens makt och gemenskapens styrka.En: People had braved the weather, drawn by the power of tradition and the strength of community.Sv: Lars, Karin och Björn stod tillsammans.En: Lars, Karin, and Björn stood together.Sv: Deras stånd fylldes snart av nyfikna besökare.En: Their stall was soon filled with curious visitors.Sv: Lars sålde nästan allt.En: Lars sold almost everything.Sv: Glädje och lättnad spreds i hans hjärta.En: Joy and relief spread in his heart.Sv: När marknaden gick mot sitt slut tackade Lars sina grannar.En: As the market drew to a close, Lars thanked his neighbors.Sv: Han förstod nu vikten av att be om hjälp och hur mycket starkare man blir tillsammans.En: He now understood the importance of asking for help and how much stronger one becomes together.Sv: Vänskapen mellan honom, Karin och Björn hade blivit starkare än någonsin.En: The friendship between him, Karin, and Björn had become stronger than ever.Sv: Den natten, när Lars återvände hem, var snön fortfarande tjock, men i hans hjärta hade en värme av tacksamhet tänt en ny eld.En: That night, when Lars returned home, the snow was still thick, but in his heart, a warmth of gratitude had kindled a new fire.Sv: Han visste nu att han inte längre behövde vara ensam i sina strider.En: He now knew that he no longer needed to fight his battles alone.Sv: Vintern kunde komma, men med sådana vänner vid sin sida, var han redo för vad som helst.En: Winter could come, but with such friends by his side, he was ready for anything.Sv: Och så, i Dalarna, i den lilla stugan mitt i vinternatten, vilade Lars, trygg i vetskapen om att gemenskapens band var starkare än någon storm.En: And so, in Dalarna, in the little cottage in the winter night, Lars rested, secure in the knowledge that the bonds of community were stronger than any storm.

This week our usual hosts were joined by our Diablo Maven Liz Patt to talk about the announcement of Lord of Hatred, the next Diablo 4 expansion. Lord of Hatred was announced at The Game Awards -- though it was not related to The Statue -- and we have a ton to say about the details we have so far. Liz Patt preordered the expansion, and so therefore got to play one of two new classes, the Paladin, hands-on, and chats about it with us a bit. The other class remains a mystery, but our cohosts had some ideas for what they think the class may be, as well as what they wish it was.We also talked about all the various winter events we're experiencing over the next few weeks in all Blizzard's games. They're only here for a short while so get your holiday fill while you can.Plus, we ran down a bunch of little tips and tricks we've seen for player housing. We also wrote about these on the website but they're so charming we just had to get them out there twice.If you have a few minutes, please fill out our survey to tell us what you think about the podcast.

The gusty winds that caused today's blizzard conditions in northwest Minnesota also brought much colder air across the entire state.The Department of Homeland Security says federal agents have not broken the law in their treatment of observers during immigration arrests in Minnesota.Those stories and more in today's evening update from MPR News. Hosted by Emily Reese. Music by Gary Meister.

The primary focus of today's discussion centers on the severe weather conditions currently impacting the Pacific Northwest and surrounding regions. A high-impact Pacific storm is delivering substantial rainfall, strong winds, and snowfall across various areas, raising significant concerns about flooding and hazardous travel conditions. As we navigate through the complexities of this weather event, it is imperative to recognize the ongoing flood warnings, winter hazards, and the risks posed by blizzard conditions in states such as North Dakota and Montana. Furthermore, we shall highlight the critical situation in Washington, where record flooding has necessitated numerous rescues and evacuations. We will continue to monitor these developments closely as we provide updates on the evolving weather patterns and their implications.The recent episode of our podcast delves into the multifaceted impacts of a powerful Pacific storm currently affecting the western United States, particularly in Washington and Oregon. Our discussion begins with a detailed analysis of the meteorological phenomena at play, including the significant precipitation and high winds that have resulted in severe flooding across these regions. We examine the National Weather Service's ongoing flood warnings and advisories, which highlight the urgency of the situation as urban flooding and hazardous conditions threaten the safety and well-being of residents. Furthermore, we explore the implications of saturated soils, which have led to widespread power outages and fatalities, emphasizing the dire need for preparedness in the face of such natural disasters.As the episode progresses, we provide a state-by-state breakdown of the weather conditions, detailing the specific challenges faced by each area. In California, for instance, we discuss the anticipated rainfall and the potential for minor urban flooding, while in Idaho, we highlight the blizzard conditions and the resultant dangers posed to travelers.

The Coffee Club from Thursday December 18th, 2025.  Guests include Sue Baron and Dr Mike Jorgenson.

Since Paladins were announced as the next class to join the roster in Diablo 4 in its next expansion Lord of Hatred -- and already playable with preorder -- Matt and Joe sat down this week to chat about both, but mostly Paladins and their history within the franchise. First, they dive into the place of Paladins within the franchise as contrasted by other classes. Blizzard seems to be cribbing heavily from Diablo 2, with almost all the classes from that game now available in D4. They touch on Paladins from D2, their famous fall, and how that led to the Crusaders from Diablo 3.The story we see in the cinematic also has our Paladin facing off against Mephisto while he inhabits Akarat's body, which he possessed at the end of the previous expansion, Vessel of Hatred. Akarat being one of the founders of the faith the Paladin belongs to, this is a deeply interesting contrast -- as well as a personal religious crisis in the making.
