Blizzard Countdown [Sep 19, 2002, 12:34 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The countdown is underway on the Blizzard Entertainment
Website (thanks Hanzo) where they started the clock ticking yesterday for
their promised big announcement (story). Meanwhile, the mailbag
here at the Blue Tower has been filling up with entries from folks excited to
see the same countdown on www.starcraft2.com
(thanks StarmiT) which would seem to be an indicator of what today's announcement
from the Tokyo Game Show will center around. Just to clarify, while the
announcement may well indeed be about plans for a StarCraft sequel to satisfy
those eager for such a project, the countdown actually appears on other domains
Blizzard owns currently pointed at the same server, so you will also see this
dramatic countdown (at 7-some odd hours as of this writing) on warcraft.com,
as well, so there's no reason to be certain the announcement relates to
StarCraft.
OK, after wasting my entire afternoon in photoshop (nevermind a looming deadline, thanks again blizzard ;)) I have a real guess. It's definitely a female figure standing with her right arm hanging down next to her torso (left side of pic), bent at the elbow. The elbow is the lowest bright spot. The middle bright spot is her high mid-riff, just above the belly button. Her left arm is pretty much completely in shadow, as is most of the figure.
All the stuff that people think is a sniper rifle etc. i think is just background. It could be buildings, or vehicles or god knows what, but it simply serves to frame the negative space of the figure.
I do think she's holding a gun though, as it looks like some kind of scope/flashlight on the right side of the pic, sort of in line with her bent arm.
30 more minutes and we'll see how much crack i'm smokin... aaaauuuggghhh can't wait any longer!!!
