I'm not sure if this is supposed to be in the tech support section or not, since it's not really a problem that needs help with.
I opened a replay to watch one of my losses to see what I did wrong after a game, and sadly enough I was scared to pieces for second because I didn't see it coming. I guess the picture is a bit self explanatory.
Its just a messed up texture. I've had it on TL with some temple texture. Basicly it happens now and then. Nothing to worry about. This one is verry funny though

I actually had something similar happen to me once so I can confirm it is very true. It's been a while though and I thought that was during the beta only and that they fixed it... I guess not.
I had Tychus' face plastered all over the map from what I remember.
I used to be able to make tie-dye extractors by clicking on one exactly as it finishes (all future extractors would also be tie-dye for the rest of the game), don't think I have an screen captures of it though
I do have graphics bugouts every once in a while. The one in the OP is quite funny, but it is very annoying when everything suddenly starts flashing and things take on weird colors or the whole screen even turns black and only minerals or some other random element remains visible. When that happens ingame, I have to alt-tab out and back in again to fix it which obviously gives me a good chance of losing the game when it happens at a bad time. Graphics drivers are up to date and I have no idea what causes this. Probably not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but at the moment it happens quite a pain in the ass.
I would give your computer a little break whenever those texture bugs start happening. It's usually a sign of the graphics card starting to heat up, since SC2 is not very kind on many graphics cards.
Happens to me sometimes too. Never got a funny face tho
In particular when I played campaign on brutal on a lot of the missions the map would look like that, so I assumed it was just a cool thing you got for playing on such a baller difficulty. I actually love it when it happens because it looks so cool.
edit: sometimes gateways and refineries and stuff like that are colored brightly like in the pick above to w/e the player color is too.
One time I had the a ground texture on Scrap Station turn into something looking like a zerg egg that was miscolored. It was very odd. I've also had cases of desert ground textures turning black, bright green hatcheries, and rainbow barrackses. Usually I can fix this by alt+tabbing out and then back in if I am given time to pause. The one in the OP was hilarious.

Anyone else have funny moments like these?
Why do you talk about how you opened one of your replays when its from sc2.replays.net? Just curious.

i was playing torch @ mlg dallas, g2 on lost temple when i 7rrd and b/c of the fucked up terrain even though I scouted his location i didn't, i was confused and like hard to explain but the terrain was hella fucked up similar to yours.
I assure you it's no photoshop . And it may just be an honest mistake to whether it's my own game or I was watching a replay I downloaded, it is most likely the latter now that I look at it. Point is I'm still having trouble putting together what it is under my command center. It is most likely the latter now that I look at it.
It looks to be an SCV, with the cigarette out of his mouth and the uniform, or maybe it's gordon freeman from half life trying to invade my PC.

Nice photoshop by the way.
:S why so hostile? he never claimed it was his replay...
Thats kinda funny though, its never happened to me.

I thought it was my replay because it was another terran replay, but I have since cleared up the mistake in a prior post
Stop saying its photoshopped, this happens all the time At least to me... Only seen unit/face/similar textures once though. Most common is that every single of texture X is replaced with texture Y on the map for the duration of the game/replay. So for example, the tile-texture in the mains on Steppes being replaced completely with the red rock from blistering sands. It can be very hard to see/focus at times...
well my starcraft looked damn funny when my graphics card fried. However, i could not save a screenshot because i got a bluescreen a few seconds later. Basically, the displayed models "exploded". The polygons vertices somehow were totally screwed up, so all the polygons got streched all over my screen, it really looked funny.
I was on scrap station and my zerg main base was killed and as the creep receded it revealed a poster on the ground of some terran military propagander. I really wish I'd done a screen shot or something but I was too busy trying to get my opponent to come and look at it to see if it was just on my computer.
Of course he thought I was trying to trick him and didn't rise to the bait!
I've been getting bug textures very often, but it seems to be only limited to ground/map distortion. Never had shiny/black units nor red/green refineries. It's a bit annoying at first but 5 minutes in, you stop them completely.
Dunno if it counts as a graphics glitch but in a replay I noticed that Roaches were burrowed and moving around underground (even if I didnt have the upgrades), but in the game they were unburrowed the whole time. Also, when they would attack in the replay they popped out for a second, spat acid, and re-burrowed. Very strange. Anyone else seen this problem before?
I'm really glad its not just me getting these, I thought it was my graphics card at first so I bought a new one and got it to happen on my 3rd game on the new card. My seem to always have faces in them.
holy shit, I have never seen these things before. That face thing is really scary but then the shining ovi looks soo cool. Didn't know these things existed.
Ive gotten a golden roach warren before and some random pictures on lost temple. at first i thought the roach warren wouldnt work so i built another one and it was still golden lol
I had pretty much the same thing as the OP when I just decided to dick around in single player and a few times on Metalopolis. Scared the shit out of me. Not everyday you see empty faces in the ground. I thought that it was a problem with my install and I'd have to repair it or reinstall it months after release, but I guess that there's just random meshes hidden under the ground.
Whenever I get graphics issues its where my screen in the game FREAKS OUT, and I cant see shit. There are parts of the map I can see fine, but I've had games where I can't see either of my CCs or any of the minerals/workers (only healthbars) and it usually forces a loss. Sometimes accompanied with streams I'm watching (usually on justin.tv when there is an issue) just turning green n shit.
ive gotten one on a two player map that was zeratul or tassadar (maybe a zealot) all over. it kinda fucked me up. More important however, i think terran get terran themed ones, p get p themed, and z get z themed. for example i play p and i got a p hero. the op looks like an scv or some type of human ie terran. Any zergs get some funky shit? i think i saw someone mention a zerg egg earlier. my point is the bug is tied to your race somehow, pure conjecturer.
