If there's some plot reason to use the names of two Act Five mercs in Diablo 3, Blizzard could easily have just used two existing merc names. That they changed the names in this fashion, intentionally calling attention to their actions, makes it seem meaningful.
==Diablo Easter Eggs in Warcraft III==
[[File:Easter-war3-daiblo-race.jpg|thumb|175px125px|Diablo pod racing.]]
Warcraft 3 has a ton of Easter Eggs, but not many of them feature anything related to Diablo.
===Goblin Pod Racing===
An Easter Egg allows for a Star Wars-like pod racing sequence in the Thousand Needles - Shimmering Flats, area. One of the racers is Diablo, who does not look very thrilled about it.
==Diablo Easter Eggs in World of Warcraft==
A screenshot can be seen to the right. See [http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/diablo-is-a-starcraft-2-easter-egg/ the original news post] for more details and a movie of the little guy.
===Funny Movie Names===
Map information: City Billboards [72.58.113.02] in the map editor. It is named THorner04.SC2Map. It's where Tychus Findlay mounts the Thor and wrecks havoc in Korhal city to broadcast off-world the tape where Mengsk says he wont let anyone stand on his way, and he will rather see the sector burned to ashes.
===Laptop Game Selection===
[[File:Easter-sc2-play-a-game.jpg|thumb|Would you like to play a game?]]
In one of the Single Player missions: Ghost of a Chance, on the planet Avernus, a laptop is found on a desktop in one building. The World of Warcraft character selection screen is displayed on a different screen, while the main screen shows a message: Want to play a game?" Various options are listed, including Diablo III:<ref> {{cite web | url = http://starcraft.incgamers.com/wiki/Easter_Eggs#Sons_of_the_Storm | title = Starcraft II Easter Eggs | accessdate = 2010-08-13 | first = Starcraft Wiki | date = 2010-8-12 | quote = This is the three-part mission map if you choose to help Nova Terra kill Tosh's spectres.

This is a larger Easter Egg referring to the 1983 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WarGames Matthew Broderick movie ''WarGames''], in which a computer hacker starts playing games with the central computer at NORAD, inadvertently nearly starting World War III. The computer in that film's usual prompt is, "Would you like to play a game?" With Global Thermonuclear War as the last of several options.
