Blizzard Announcement is Coming!!

Tomorrow's the big day: we're going to get an announcement! An announcement that Blizzard will start work on a new product! Aren't we lucky!

I should start this same sort of tradition: announcing that I will announce that I will start work on something.

1up.com has some interesting polls about what gamers want from this new announcement. Apparently, gamers are really really stupid. 23% of respondents want level-gaining heroes in Starcraft 2? WHAT? That's pretty much the one thing they could do to make Starcraft 2 unbuyable. (Of course, I lie: nothing would make Starcraft 2 unbuyable).

23% of respondents in another poll question said that they'd like to see a spinoff of Starcraft that takes a new direction: real-time-strategy. Imagine that! More people want to see an RTS version of Starcraft than an RPG, an FPS, an MMO, or anything else of that sort. Fascinating.

So it's called Medusa, and there are questions of what that means. Kerrigan makes a Medusa-like reference in Starcraft, and Diablo has Medusa references. The Lost Vikings may have Medusa references in the parts of the game that are too difficult to ever get to.

So, let's just say I'm on the edge of my seat, and can't wait to hear what's up in South Korea. World of Lost Vikings, ftw.
