the people at blizzplanet.com said there are eyes in there also but I don't see them.  Where are they?  btw, less than an hour until the new splash is displayed.

If we base the announcement off of the Battle.net forums then they are going to have a pretty big announcement this weekend.

to me the splash screen looks more like something out of the starcraft world than Diablo...looking at the planet -type circles on the splash screen. and those eyes look vaguely protos-esque

I really hope it's Diablo related though

From the Blizzard main page:

Ok this is hilarious I think. The picture of the purple penguin that has been slowly getting more and more parts added every day are numbered 04.jpg 08.jpg 15.jpg 16.jpg 23.jpg 42.jpg. They used the numbers from the show LOST.

I have never seen lost, explain the significance please.

Looks a lot like Starcraft to me

^ After all this, if it has nothing to do with D3.... I will cry. :(

I won't cry, but I don't think I will have the heart to do much in the coming days.

There may be hope yet, found this on diablofans forums

There is a fifth rune at the top middle, but I don't recognize it.  And look at the way the "steam" comes away from the eyes, I don't think that would be there for WoW:WotLK or for a Protoss from Starcraft.
