Hell froze over?
There's an interesting theory they have over at Diabloii.net regarding the naming scheme for the secret images:
http://www.diabloii.net/n/667546/b [...] 4#comments
At first they though the numbers in the hidden images corresponded to the english alphabet, and until today it was looking like D, O, W could end up spelling DASHOW, one of the artists that worked on Diablo II (who coincidentally had a "purple walrus" as his sort of trademark), but now it's looking like the numbers from Lost.
This stands out to me quite heavily from the Lost wiki:

This isn't StarCraft II related, and Blizzard has no reason to have such an extensive teaser just to announce a release date for Wrath of the Lich King.
You can read more about the previous days here: http://www.sclegacy.com
Also, something else that's interesting, quoted from: http://www.sc2pod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1490#p1490

it says that the forums are down atm if this forum wouldn't exist it should redirect you to the mainpage, like http://www.battle.net/forums/board [...] e=blahblah |
Also from Sc2pod:

Leaving us with 42 something like _ _ S _ S?? |
I haven't felt excited like this since Christmas when I was little. Crossing your fingers, hoping that they got you what you wanted, and I mean either way it's a free gift so it's awesome, but, you just hope deep down that it isn't some boring racing game

God that would be amazing. I personally like the idea of battle taking place in heaven... Splash screen from yesterday with colors inverted:

I think a large piece of me would die inside 
When you have a teaser like this with all the viral marketing, the surprise had better be damn good or you just make your customers feel betrayed.

Look at the eyes and between the eyes...
But because the eyes are centered on the splash.. idk. What are the nutboy sites saying?

Hmm... it could be something related to SC universe. One of the 5 symbols, the one on the lower left, is the symbol of the protoss that is used by Blizz. The shapes sorrounding the eyes seem to look like those of a protoss, not of some armor. And if you remember is Zeratul who discovered the Hybrids on a frozen moon (secret mission in SC:BW), hence the ice around. The symbol on the lower right could resemble some planets. The melting of the ice could mean that the Hybrids have awaken or something and we will get some insight of the story like a trailer where Zeratul shares with Raynor some of his discoveries. Or probably Blizzard will announce the 4th race - the Hybrids. Anyway I don't know what the other symbols mean, some could be taken from Diablo. I used to know all the D2 runes. 
So Blizz could be makin some sort of one symbol - on e major announcement type of analogy each coupled with a new image of the ice and the eyes. Hope I am wrong and is Tyrael or D3 
Good news either way 
Yeah its beginning to look less and less like diablo 3 *sigh* .... dammit blizzard hurry up and tell us already

I'm all for staying real about it... but having said that, the stars in the middle do seem to be eyes, but they could be characters from any of the three realms. What if Blizzard is making an entirely new game? That would be shocking, I know, but possibly even more fantastic than a DIII.
A SCII release date would be nice too
Oh, and amdfangirl: dying in nm by steel scarabs is kinda embarrassing, dontcha think? That is, unless you're playing single player...
^ Nah!
They slipped! Look at Battle Net!!! I doubt this to be a conisidance! First they buy Diablo3.com and etc.
Saw the damn thing myself! (BTW: It is closed now) (not my screenshots tho...)
hehe teaser!
SUCK ON THAT ROB WRIGHT!

The graphics are kinda meh, the gameplay doesn't look like it has much new and exciting to it, and they didn't improve the loot system it looks like so there will still be rampant bickering over people picking up all the good stuff before the long range team gets a crack at it. |
As long as they have a solid anti-hack system to prevent pickit and whatnot, I'm fine with the looting staying the same. I think you're just a negative nancy
