I smell something starcraft related even if you refreshed that page it shows wc3 / diablo faces too, if you notice on each pic that a 'ring' graphic that's sc/bw related is visable on each left eye. Oh and the .999=1 thing too there makes me wanna think it's either Starcraft 2 related(doubt it), maybe a new sc/bw expansion(very unlikely), or probably just a big update about Starcraft: Ghost

If they were smart they would make a Starcraft 2 real time strategy game. People (including myself) still play the original starcraft even though the game is old as dirt. Blizzard has always been a company to revolutionize a certain genre of games. Whether you think their games are hot or not, their success and popular titles tells its own tale about the company.
Launching a project like SCG is dangerous for the company imo. Theres already too many successful FPS's out there right now for this one to be anything more than another semi-successful addition to the played out FPS collcetion.

It's going to be a 3 way RTS with one side WC, one side SC, and one side Diablo!
And I did not see any Diablo faces there, so I think you're S.O.L. on it.
Probably a new IP in an RTS format which is why they are showing the characters they are.

Actually, I was thinking the same thing, that maybe the Zerg face was what he thought was the Diablo face - then on a refresh, I saw the three-horned Diablo skull with the gem hole in the forehead.

It's "incredibly rare" or so it says on Joystiq.

That one and the one I posted from my browser is the rare ones that show up on there. I'm hoping for sc2 or expansion for sc/bw, but some are speculating on some of battle.net's forums from what I've been reading that they might be releasing something related to the battle.net service itself that'll affect all the battle.net playable games.

.999_ = 1
Was some internet pop culture thing that went around for a while on a whole bunch of forums (wow forums had this pretty early on too) was mostly just random post farming even though wow forums dont have post counts people still post random crap from ytmnd etc...
I think it had something to do with the ladder being reset for something...

Well, the .999_=1 was a april fools thing from what I can remember was used in conjuntion with starcraft's release, some teaser thing before it came out to stores.
