Please digg this article!

*COUNT DOWN* Announcements are taking place.

Word over at 1up.com is the fact Blizzard will be playing something called the "Medusa Demo". This could be Starcraft or Diablo related of course. Kerrigan is a lot like the Greek character Medusa. In Diablo though, there is an item called Medusa's Gaze.

So who knows!?

i looked up medusa in wikipedia and found these quotes:

Some classical references multiply her[1] into three Gorgon sisters: Medusa, Stheno, and Euryale, monsters with goggling eyes, sharp protruding fangs and lolling tongues, brass hands, and hair of living, venomous snakes

in the translation of Jane Ellen Harrison, who notes "the Gorgon was made out of the terror, not the terror out of the Gorgon (Harrison 1922: 187, note 3).

the first one can apply to SC and Diablo, since kerrigan can have others of her type running around, and diablo because andariel can be a sister of medusa.

however the second quote is interesting. maybe Diablo has a daughter with ol' miss lilith. remember, she drops his horn.

other than that, i didnt find too much a connection with medusa and SC or diablo. but it is curious ^^'

Methinks it's a new IP. Hopefully one which compliments SC2, else there will be strife among the fans.

i really dont know what is the trouble on diablo series with blizzard. What blizzards think bout a third game. They have never said anything bout that, all we got are rumors ..

Diablo series, in my opinion, its one of the greatest series thar blizzard ever worked on, and there are so many player that still play this game.. so why cannot make a third? whats the big deal? if this time diablo 3 wont be annunced, i really think that they never will.. or if they will, maybe in 2020, or later..

i know thats exatly what i think i mean when you get all those sales at 2001 and 1998 how can you moan at that franchise

Well... starcraft had lots of sales too...

You know... the fact that all this is in korea really makes me think its all about sc2...

I know its going to be sc2 even if I really ****ing want diablo III...

Edit: what time will the announcement be for montreal/nyc???

Hmmm. This is no different than any of the other Rumors I have heard. No sence wasting time.

And If the Rumor is true, It would be only be a code name for the demo/game engine.

Im not making a big deal out of this. The official announcement is jsut hours away.

huh, its not the mythological medusa btw(by the way)...

the medusa from the greek religion has some snakes instead of her hairs, not those sort of sci-fi big brown things...

lol Yeah I'm facing the same dilemma. I'm not a major fan of SC, but Diablo ZOMG I've dedicated half my life to that game. I think when I die one day I'll provide the save games of my characters on a flashdisk to my son, in my will
