Blizzard Image Day 4

Posted 26th Jun 2008 11:52 AM by Maticus

Today’s image reveals a few more interesting things, firstly, there’s another rune. Then, there is what appears to be a pair of eyes staring out of the center of the break in the ice. Then of course, there’s the strange purple beast, which reveals a tail and foot, looking more like a penguin now?!

The letter associated with the number of the fourth item is P, so we now have the letters D O W P. The name of the latest image is “cold”, so the names of all of them are now Cold, Tundra, Cavern and Icy. As for the numbers, the theory that they corresponded to the English alphabet is dead, but it now appears that they are an homage to the six mystical numbers that recur in the TV show “Lost.” The six “Lost” numbers are: 4 8 15 16 23 42, and so far the secret images have hit 4, 15, 16, and 23.

This site has an interesting idea: http://www.sc2pod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=268&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=30

If you look at this picture:

you’ll notice that the fourth symbol looks like a planet with orbiting moons.  Each other rune has a small symbol next to it that may indicate its position on the fourth symbol.  Starcraft is the innermost moon, Diablo is the middle moon and Warcraft is the outer moon.  Maybe it’s a metaphor.  What if it’s supposed to represent a nucleus with orbiting electrons?

No editing?

I clearly see a face in the picture.

I saw thread that linked to this photo of the full Purple Penguin / Monster, but they didn’t mention where the photo came from:

Here’s a thought - take a letter from each purple penguin picture name - D from tundra, I from icy, A from cavern, B (blizzard?), L from cold, and O (frost?); and yes, it spells DIABLO. Ties in with the Dashow guy who worked on the game and the pen as his symbol? Well, there ya go.

Actually his trademark is a walrus , not a penguins.

OK… Here goes.  I’m probably reaching here… but hear me out.  I was just messing around at work and reading up on Blizzard and I came across something that started me thinking. 

Taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_&_Synapse

"In 1996, Blizzard acquired Condor Games, which had been working on the game Diablo for Blizzard at the time. Condor was renamed Blizzard North, and has since developed hit games Diablo, Diablo II, and its expansion pack Diablo II: Lord of Destruction."

Condor Games…. The Purple Bird… Could it be a cartoon Condor? Diablo 3?

Am I crazy or does someone else see the resemblance?

one of my friends pointed out that the eyes look very similar to the protoss image on the starcraft2 main site. and the new rune doesn’t really make sense to me, thought maybe it could be like a solar system?

SnickerSnack: I had noticed the little signs next to the runes but couldnt figure out what they were for. I think your interpretation is the only one that make sense so far in this thread.

The 3 "planets" could mean the 3 ongoing projects, StarCraft2, WotLK, Diablo 3. Why would StarCraft be the closest to the center and not on the same axe as the other 2, I dont know. WotLK will be released before SC2 so it’s not a closest to be released thing.

Interesting find.
