Now to wait a couple of years before they release it...

And btw, I wonder how many joystiqers are too young to have played the other two?

This "joke" is epic fail.

Seriously, it's not even remotely funny and does not warrant yet another D3 post.

Joystiq can be pretty snarky at times. But this, lame.

a friend of mine has a t-shirt that says "your retarded". He probably got it at hot topic or some crap.

And in case you are wondering what the hell they mean by that, they mean...It's not 'your retarded' but 'you're retarded'.

I was wondering how many fish I could catch with that one. :) The T-shirt meledeo refers to can be found here, and probably other places too:

Nah, you can totally tell its for a Lost Vikings MMO. Diablo is Norse for "Bearer of Swords" which basically means Viking. And obviously, its the third one in the series. I think "And The Heavens" refers to the fact that its going to be Massively Multiplayer, so it'll include thousands of people, i.e. "The Heavens."

My cousin's mailman's grandma works in the gamer's industry, so I totally know.

They didn't even try to transition from the ice to diablo. They just completely started with a new image.

Yeah, I found that odd as well... the eye were getting brighter and then suddenly BAM it turns red and we have a full-fledged demon face with no ice or stars... wha?

At any rate, it's Diablo 3, so I forgive them.

That's the beauty of it. While fanboys were all debating about what it could possibly be, how the eyes looked like Protoss eyes, how the ice itself was a reference to WotLK, and so on, Blizzard just went and slapped them all in the face by doing this. :)

it just goes to show you that the image is just a bunch of BS. They could of shown a clear image of kerrigan from starcraft 2 and then announce diablo 3. It will teach us not to care next year, thats for sure.

I ask blizzard why they thought creating a puzzle with no solution was going to impress people?

I think he means it would've made more sense to use the joke for the announcement of the Diablo 3 reveal, rather than announcing Diablo 3 and then making a separate post AFTERWARDS to make the joke when we're already flooded with Diablo 3 articles.

It's clearly an anti-Obama attack ad.

Blizzard is against hope and change and the future.

The threads on the gametrailers forum seem to suggest it's PC exclusive, but then so was Far Cry 2 for a while.

2-3 years of waiting here we come. Guess it'll be Wrath, SC2, and D3 releases for the next 2-3 years to boast company profits. Wonder when they'll get a new IP.

I think the splash page designer was told to "reveal by melting rocks"
He may have interpreted melting to mean "ice"

When the day came, "tomorrow, we're unveiling Diablo 3!"

web designer goes, "..... o_o' "
