Somethings going down Monday&Tuesday
As you can see here: http://www.blizzplanet.com/blog/comm...lizzcon_bound/
Eldorian posted on August 15th that:

01100110011011110111001000100000011000010010000001 101100
01101111011100100110010101100111011000010111001101 101101
which translates to be: 2 days for a loregasm
He has been posting this same message + 1 more day for each day past already of course, for the past little while (about 5 days?).
Now thats when the NDA is "reportedly" supposed to come off (August 17th) says "http://twitter.com/gadgetguy". As far as I know (please post if you know otherwise) there has been no hard evidence of the NDA being pushed back to Blizzcon. So that can only mean that the NDA that become effective sometime in july, when fansites came back to BLizzard HQ to check out (Battle.net 2.0?) something, because Battle.net 2.0 was not ready to be shown in June.
This is added to more when "Medievaldragon" posts in the comments on this post: "I am leaving to Blizzcon on Wednesday. For now, we got a little surprise for our fans on Monday and Tuesday. Stay tuned folks—it’s gonna nuke your socks off." What could this mean? Nuke? Could possibly just be a descriptive word of random choice.
Now something for sure is happening Monday and Tuesday regardless if it is Battle.net 2.0, SC2 or not. It's going to be whatever the fan sites saw at Blizzard HQ in July. Which is obviously more of a secret to keep than in June because of the length of the NDA and possibly proximity to Blizzcon? and more than likely SC2 related.
Now you could argue that it has nothing to do with Bnet or SC2 but if you think of it like this: Battle.net 2.0 had bugs and was not able to be shown off in June, so people came back in July when they (Blizzard) expected it to be fixed, (unless they were scheduled to come back in July before then?) and then it was fixed and is now ready to host SC2 beta and test the multi player capabilities of Bnet 2.0 itself. but then you ask yourself Supersonic you crazy smuck, SC2 has been delayed till 2010 because Bnet is not going to be ready, so your theory can't be right!
Well I submit to you that it's entirely possible that the "final" product of Bnet 2.0 will not be ready with the list of features and what not Blizzard has planned for it. BUT the multi player/SC2 beta portion of it could very well be ready for testing...
Now I realise this is a VERY small chance that this is the case, but it is a possibility, and this "loregasm" Monday and Tuesday raises an eye brow or 2.
But it could entirely be something to do with single player (hence LOREgasm) and I could be totally wrong and the wait till Blizzcon is getting to me. But can't you even give a little hope that something good (better than single player stuff =/) could happen?.. not that single player stuff is bad, it's just not as good as Beta ;]
Please feel free to discuss and shut down my theory =]
and yes I am only SLIGHTLY obsessively thinking about SC2...

Re: Somethings going down Monday&Tuesday
Last blizzcon they had the whole starcraft2 expansions misinformation PR nightmare going on. So it would make sense for Blizzard to give fansites and bigger popgaming sites the right information beforehand.
I have no doubt something like last time will happen again tho =p
-
Re: Somethings going down Monday&Tuesday
I'm guessing it's just lore stuff. Besides the binary message, team liquid also stated that the conference wasn't something they'd be interested in.
I'm still holding out that blizzcon will announce the beta date tho
-
Re: Somethings going down Monday&Tuesday
Maybe, but there's also rumours flying around that TeamLiquid was just trying to save face.
And really, their forumbase wouldn't even be marginally interested in single-player or battle.net content? Really? Not in the slightest?
-
Re: Somethings going down Monday&Tuesday
It's going to be whatever was shown at the press event. And the whole TL.net not wanting to go because it wouldn't interest their userbase is pure BS. They leaked information that they knew they weren't supposed to and were not invited back.
No true StarCraft fan, let alone a community site admin would skip going to Blizzard HQ because it "doesn't interest their userbase". You don't skip opportunities like that, they are very rare.

Re: Somethings going down Monday&Tuesday
Theres a countdown timer up now. 15 hours left. I'm guessing it has something to do with Starcraft II Single Player.

Re: Somethings going down Monday&Tuesday
Just little fyi, I have no knowledge if information is going to be released tomorrow. That being said, I still can't wait to see what they reveal. I wouldn't be surprised to see the NDA removed.. but 1 week before blizzcon... interesting play Blizzard.
PS: I'm writing this because some people look to me to see what I'll say apparhently now, I'm trying to be straightforward :)

Damn, this is an intimation with subtle but potentially terrific implications... You should work at Blizzard just for your ability to tease people. :D
-
Re: Somethings going down Monday&Tuesday
Just had a thought, I wonder if the main websites may have some sort of teaser image over the week... much like Diablo 3? This is, of course, assuming that they have a new game to announce that we aren't expecting.

His usual mysterious tease? But ... to do that he would have to figure out what others haven't -- exactly what the countdown is for ...
-
Re: Somethings going down Monday&Tuesday
Everything LoA does is a mysterious tease!
Even when he walks into a room and says 'hello'.
Everyone just responds 'I'M ONTO YOU!!!!"
So, this is a Blizzplanet exclusive, eh? Or is it!!?

If there's big awesomeness to be had somewhere - you can bet SC:L is in on it. But countdowns.... not really our thing ;)

Re: Somethings going down Monday&Tuesday
I doubt it will be anything too major being right before Blizzcon, and I'm surprised they're releasing anything at all. However any news is good news.
We all know SC2 is going to be awesome, and any new information will surely surpass our current impressions, but damn, I just want to know what this next-gen mmo is they've been working on for at least the last 2 years.

Re: Somethings going down Monday&Tuesday

red or blue big screen? I guess your revenge was sweet. I am clueless as to what you meant.

Re: Somethings going down Monday&Tuesday
The lies, the deceit, are rampant here. It all seems so familiar. Like I just watched a movie about it...
Oh right, District 9. Go see it. Now.
Really. I mean right now.
Go.

Not exactly.
Jackson and Blomkamp were hired to do the Halo movie. They worked on it for a few months, but legal and financial issues arose and it got canceled. However, during that time Jackson saw a short film Blomkamp made in 2005 called "Alive In Joburg." He was intrigued, and the two decided to expand it into a full fledged epic using the money they had from the dead Halo movie.
And I tell you, it was a 30 million well spent. District 9 is one of the best movies I've ever seen. Ever.

lol does that mean it possibly has nothing to do with LORE?! because it seems as if your surprised he would put lore in there? lol I think I'm over speculating..
I also love how this thread has shot up over night ^^

Re: Somethings going down Monday&Tuesday
I love lore as much as the next guy, but..

Agreed, although from the name you would think it will be lore or single player stuff. It could just be to throw people off... or at least thats what I'm very desperately hoping for..

Re: Somethings going down Monday&Tuesday
Speaking of mysteries, why does Loa put his name at the end of his every post, it's "strange" :p, isn't that why we have a signature, post name, and names in quotes?
-
Re: Somethings going down Monday&Tuesday
I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's SC2 beta =] I'll prob be wrong and why would they need 2 says for that, but that's what I'm guessing..
