Rob Pardo confirms major announcement!
"So you want me to announce the game before our announcement?" he said. "No offense, but I think there's like 300 people here, and I'll be ripped apart by 8000 people there [at the Invitational] if I pre-announce it - but it's going to be really exciting. I think everybody here will be really excited about the announcement."

So far they have named the images "cold", "cavern", "tundra" and ""icy".

This is the closest I've seen so far, but I've seen other ones of those being Arthas' eyes as well.
I could probably see Protoss eyes fitting in very well there as well.
This is hurting my head. ><

I re-uploaded them, and added other predictions for the runes too.
To me personally, the D2 eyes fit the best, it's basically perfect.

Here's another image that I found, the number of the images is supposed to spell Diablo and is the supposed front view of this puzzle Beast.

Of course, that image of the front of the Beast I still suspect to be fake, it's still interesting.

isn't one of the underground bases called 'hydra' in lost too? (can't remember which one it is) may or may not be completely unrelated

Yup it is one of the Dharma 'compounds' btw any other LOST fan pissed that Ben is still alive? If I was on that Island I would have capped his ass long ago... but hey you need a villain that you love to hate right?

the numbers are just some repeating gimmick used in the show with the numbers
4 8 15 16 23 42 used in that order

LOST = Thrall,Jaina, Zuljin, Arthas, Diablo heroes and Starcraft heroes get dumped on an island where they then play off just like LOST did.

Apparently the Beast creature is a creature turning out to be a very similar creature found in an old Blizzard game titled "The Lost Vikings"
Combine that with the fact that the numbers are aiming towards the hit TV show Lost, this mystery just got screwed up all over again.
__________________________________
HOWEVER, Diabloii (probably the biggest unofficial D2 source) has apparently had inside confirmation that D3 WILL be announced on Saturday.
Moreover, apparently a Blizzard rep slipped (?) out the announcement with this when asked about D3:
"So you want me to announce the game before our announcement?" he said.
"No offense, but I think there's like 300 people here, and I'll be
ripped apart by 8000 people there [at the Invitational] if I
pre-announce it - but it's going to be really exciting. I think
everybody here will be really excited about the announcement."

With all this in mind, and all the clues given, this is what I suspect for Saturday:
WotLK information - Release Date? Beta?
SC2 information - Release Date?
D3 information - Official Announcement and image unveiling? Gameplay info?
Lost Vikings - Announcement of a sequal?

The new rune also appears to look like a planet orbitted by 3 moons.
Pluto has 3 moons. A big moon named Charon, and two smaller moons named Nix and Hydra.

I'm actually quite convinced that this is what the new rune is after re-looking at the sizes of the circles in "orbit". One large one and two smaller ones.
Of course that's just my opinion and it could still be anything.
