Far be it from me to point out quite how simple it is to get gamers riled up, but Blizzard, creators of Diablo, World of Warcraft and Starcraft have made the internet go INSANE by posting a picture of some ice on the front page of their website.

Apparently there are runes in the ice, representing the three different games mentioned above. Such teasing has whipped fanboys and girls into a frenzy of postulating, rumour mongering and making things up.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with gaining publicity for the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational which is happening this weekend in Paris. Oh my no. Still, you can bet your bottom dollar that something is going to be announced over the weekend, and that when it is, vast swathes of people will be disappointed that Justice League Task Force isn't getting a next gen revamp.

Stay tuned for more developments in the Blizzard ice picture rune story as and when we get them.
