Diablo Galaxy?

Just noticed something funny. From the description of the Paladin Blessed Hammer skill:

"The Visions of Akarat tell of a hopeless battle. Legions of the undead had laid siege to a small convent of nuns who were the keepers of a sacred relic, the Hammer of Ghrab Thaar."

Does something sound familiar? Remind you of a movie, perhaps? Then please envision Alan Rickman with fish-head makeup on:

"By Grabthaar's Hammer...what a savings."

So which came first - Diablo 2, or GalaxyQuest?

Just a note to myself: found a cool clan on battle.net. They seem to be adults, and they didn't PK me.

Galaxy Quest was in 1999. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0177789/
Diablo II was in 2000. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0258523/

So, most likely the writers did an intentional in-joke.
