IGN's fourth episode of the web series The Jace Hall Show is now up and this week concludes Jace Hall's (former head of Monolith and Warner Bros Interactive) visit to Blizzard where he sits in a "real" design meeting for StarCraft II. Hall did reveal the first public look at the female version of Diablo III's monk in an earlier episode (not a joke) but did he get an even bigger scoop from the StarCraft II team?

In a brief look at StarCraft II's Battle.Net 2.0's interface during the episode there seems to be something shown that at first seems to show a fourth playable race. However, as pointed out by our commentators, tt looks like the fourth symbol is for Random race; the interface is clearly not the same one as the StarCraft II beta so it's likely that this is an older UI set up that emphasizes the symbols more. Oh well.

IGN's second episode of The Jace Hall Show is now online and it has the second part of the former Monolith head's visit to Blizzard offices. We also get to see some funny-weird stuff in this segment including Stan Lee ruining Hall's copy of Incredible Hulk 1 and original V's star Jane Badler seemingly swallowing a real life mouse (and we are not kidding about that).

But you don't really care about that. You want to know if anything was revealed in the Blizzard visit. As a matter of fact the show did show what looks like some legit art designs for the female Monk class in Diablo III . . . which Hall then tried to steal. Nice. And next week's episode takes place in a StarCraft II design meeting. What will we learn, if anything, from that show? Stay tuned. In the meantime you can check out the episode after the jump.
