If you think that's bad, check out diablofans.com. I guess I can sort of fall into that category though, seeing as we were trying to decipher the puzzle on IRC all of last night.

The one on SC legacy is not quite right yet, we'll know tomorrow though if either one of our projected runes for our theories happens.

This is nice. I hope it's an MMO that is darker (like AoC) than WoW.

Might not even be Diablo 3. It could be a new game world, a beta, more WotLK crap... Let's just see.

With the use of Diablo runes, I'd go for something within the Diablo world, but not "Diablo III". Something similar to what SC: Ghost might have been or what World of Warcraft is. Not part of the series, but part of the world.
However, since the new 'rune' is the protoss logo (woot), I'd say they're just fucking with us now. Also, the new puzzle piece is 23... bringing the numbers to 4, 15, and 23. Three of the numbers from LOST, in order skipping every other one (4 8 15 16 23 42). The puzzle seems to be a purple Yeti to me.

Actually, Bungie did so as well.  WAY before Halo was ever released they revealed a series of cryptic messages called the Cortana Letters; these later made their way into the plot narrative.

Of course, they've been wildly successful as well.

The numbers are from LOST....so how about Lost Vikings?
June 26, 2008, 11:26 PM
Barabajagal
That would be cool, but... The numbers represent constants in an equation to determine the end of a civilization based on factors within that civilization. I can't think of a more fitting "end to civilization" than the three brothers of hell invading the world, from Blizzard, anyway. Especially when the end of LoD was that the entire world changed. It's possible one of the numbers changed as well, like DHARMA was trying to do, except bringing the end sooner instead of later? ( - This is what LOST does to me. I'm trying to connect things without knowing anything.)

This was posted on the WoW forum:

[quote]
At the top is the Snowflake representing Blizzard. Below it is the four runes representing each of the franchises. The bottom right one, the planets, is Lost Vikings. This comes from the wall painting in Uldaman which has clear references to Lost Vikings. The number series in the CSS is 4, 15, 16, 23, and 42 (42 coming from the final image piece. This a number sequence that features significant in the series Lost. Lost Vikings. Still haven't tied in the evil penguin yet though.

The code name for the upcoming game is Hydra. In the series Lost, Hydra is a research station used as a place to study animals, a sort of time-warp zoo for doing things like testing the reactions of Polar Bears to tropical climates. In Lost Vikings, the Vikings are kidnapped and taken to an inter-galactic zoo and become lost in various periods of time. This has strong correlations to the story in the TV series Lost.

Remember, if it's The Lost Vikings...I win!!!
