  • Dumbledorito, on 06/25/2008, -6/+246Diablo III = your left mouse button's worst nightmare.
  • korvan504521, on 06/24/2008, -14/+204Lost Vikings 3!
  • batista86, on 06/25/2008, -12/+187Diablo > WoW
  • rolandvvv, on 06/24/2008, -4/+177please God be Diablo III. Me and buddies still play Diablo II to this day. Its our fall-back game when everything else gets old. We've play almost every mod in existence for it, too. This kind of news would make my year.
  • joeenuk, on 06/24/2008, -7/+123It's the third installment to the game...
    "Blizzard Makes a ***** of Money" and we all help.
  • kinseyincanada, on 06/25/2008, -9/+121Blizzards games have always been Mac compatible
  • chrgrose, on 06/25/2008, -1/+104I think you mean, World of *****-I-was-just-about-to-get-my-college-degree?
  • PrometheusZero, on 06/25/2008, -0/+100Tony Hawk's Antarctic Skateground
  • kinseyincanada, on 06/24/2008, -3/+100IT most likley is Diablo 3 heres why http://sc2pod.com/news/Countdown_to_Diablo_3/
  • gllopc, on 06/25/2008, -3/+83Pareidolia: "The term pareidolia (pronounced /pæraɪˈdoʊliə/), referenced in 1994 by Steven Goldstein,[1] describes a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) being perceived as significant. Common examples include images of animals or faces in clouds, the man in the moon, and hidden messages on records played in reverse. The word comes from the Greek para- — beside, with or alongside — and eidolon — image (the diminutive of eidos — image, form, shape). Pareidolia is a type of apophenia."

  • VgRasta, on 06/24/2008, -3/+75Well, you get buried here, buddy.
  • Vikaas, on 06/25/2008, -0/+67As a blizz sorc, it was definitely my right mouse buttons worst nightmare.
  • inactive, on 06/24/2008, -1/+65hell frozen over?
  • Kenelm, on 06/24/2008, -13/+72It could be Diablo III, Hydra, or StarCraft : Ghost. At least, it's not another Warcraft game.
  • petebot, on 06/24/2008, -11/+68Would a Diablo 3 be PC only?
  • Terraburn, on 06/25/2008, -4/+59It's probably just the release date for WOTLK to be honest.
  • inactive, on 06/25/2008, -1/+53Here's the newest image: http://us.media.blizzard.com/232309/_images/ice3.j ... The new symbol in the bottom left is the symbol of the Protoss race from Starcraft. There are now symbols from all three game franchises: a runic symbol from Arthas's sword, Frostmourne, A hel rune symbol from Diablo 2, and the Protoss one. The new piece of the purple image is 23.jpg which would translate into a W. That means the letters are now D, O, and W so they couldn't spell Diablo. The new word from the css file is 'icy.'

    I'm pretty confused here. I don't really think they'd make a teaser to celebrate an invitational that people payed for tickets for already. If it isn't that, what is it?
  • baylat, on 06/25/2008, -3/+55These guys sure have some weird imagination, all I see is boobs behind the ice.
  • esfisher, on 06/25/2008, -0/+49It's pretty clever when they put the release date in the title.
  • eliburford, on 06/25/2008, -1/+49You are not alone.
  • jaytea90, on 06/25/2008, -0/+49LOL i seriously laughed out loud when i read "StarCraft: Ghost"
  • galvo, on 06/25/2008, -1/+47I will bust all over if Diablo 3 is announced.
  • Smills, on 06/25/2008, -0/+46Diablo 3: Hell Freezes Over
  • sinrtb, on 06/25/2008, -1/+45ooooh i cant wait to give up more years of my life to blizzard!
  • alexonix, on 06/25/2008, -3/+43It's been solved: http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/4277/ice11ti3.j ...
  • Megaten, on 06/25/2008, -2/+40World of Diablo, perhaps?
  • funktimus, on 06/25/2008, -0/+36Not in Town.
  • apec766, on 06/25/2008, -2/+37I dunno anymore... the evidence for D3 is becoming less and less :(

    I swear to god, though... if it's a date for SC2 or new WotLK information... I will kill someone.
  • quii, on 06/25/2008, -1/+37Its going to be the warcraft 3 patch...

    Oh yes.
  • Whorebane, on 06/25/2008, -0/+33As long as Deckard Cain is back, I'm on board.
  • jimmick, on 06/25/2008, -2/+33The Hel rune seals the deal for me.
    The theme is hell freezing over.
  • Newedge14, on 06/25/2008, -6/+36Maybe it's just a new way to represent the company, who would've thought a wall of ice could represent blizzard... hmm
  • staffell, on 06/25/2008, -0/+29Whatever's going on, I like the way they're doing it. Exciting stuff.
  • mrelusive, on 06/24/2008, -8/+36http://youmustconstructadditionalpylons.com/

  • feliks2, on 06/25/2008, -0/+25***** your buttons, its all about having a mouse.
  • latova, on 06/25/2008, -2/+27Blizzard wouldn't torture their fanbase by using anything but a mouse and keyboard.
  • MiDri, on 06/25/2008, -7/+31Additional Pylons > Diablo
  • Risingashes, on 06/25/2008, -1/+23When Blizzard makes a game that sucks you can bitch and moan- until then go cry a river.
  • inactive, on 06/25/2008, -1/+23http://img115.imageshack.us/img115/173/teaserupdat ...
  • MrMcGuire, on 06/25/2008, -0/+23If this is Diablo III, my life is officially over. Goodbye family and friends.

    I'm going to find myself a nice sorceress to settle down with for the later years of my life. Maybe they'll even take me back selling runes at the Rogue Encampment!
  • Charlotte_Web, on 06/25/2008, -0/+21Super Smash Blizzard?
  • Balath, on 06/25/2008, -0/+20I lost my first mouse to that game. It lasted me around seven years, but D2 killed it.
  • Vikaas, on 06/25/2008, -1/+21If it is not, I think I'm going to commit arson.

    "I'm freaking out man!"
  • artfiend77, on 06/25/2008, -3/+22He's not your buddy, comrade.
  • Harabeck, on 06/25/2008, -0/+18Its not like they dont deserve it.
  • eliburford, on 06/25/2008, -1/+18Please, Diablo III.
