Nerd post: Anyone go to Blizzcon 08? [pics inside]
 

Ended up going to Blizzcon this weekend and it was fun as shit. Over 15,000 attendies, and the tickets sold out in under 10 minutes. I ended up getting free tickets to it, and got to check out / play Diablo 3, Starcraft 2, and Wraith of the Lich King.

You should be punched in the face for those pictures.

I was actually pretty surprised at the amount of females that went to this thing, too bad most of them were over 200lbs haha.

What's up with this dude's costume? - A grinch with hulk hands? So what is he, a "Grulk"?

Didn't go, but had to endure like 16 hours of live broacast on DirectTV, yikes!

Damn, I wish I could've been there :)

A dwarf between the elves? :winkwink:


nice pics. :thumbsup

Did you get a goodie bag with one of the code cards from there ?? If you got one of the Polar Bear mounts and/or Starcraft 2 beta access, you'll be sitting on a couple hundred bucks :)

Yea I sure did, which was awesome because we werent supposed to get them haha. Definitely will be selling those.

That's kick ass then :) You can't beat that then, it's like getting paid to go there, ha ha.

Yea dont get me wrong I like video games, but watching blizzcon on TV... wtf is the point? :1orglaugh

The only thing i might have watched is the comedians and the orchestra / choir at the end of the show.

Have you considered taking a position at GeekSquad? You would fit right in :thumbsup

A friend of mine and his wife went. They planned their vacation around it. Hit Blizzcon for the weekend and are hitting Disneyland for a couple days this week. I talked to him last night and he said it was really fun. Blizzard are marketing geniuses. They got 15K people to pay a few hundred dollars each just to see what their new products are going to be.

NERD! actually a few people from my office went

Nice pics, im a nerd too. How was starcraft II and wotlk?

What the fuck? A pimp orch!!!! ;D

lol looks like a nerdtastic time

It seems you had a lot of fun!

If they ever do one on the east coast I might entertain the thought, no way I'm crossing the US to see it though.

Damn we must have been there at the same time - I had a blast and got a kickass vip swag bag!!

FOR THE HORDE!

I thought he's already on that squad.. with Derek and JMK as partners in crime.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh :helpme

LOL oh I didn't actually watch it. My boys did, I only heard it and that was enough. It was comical at times, but hey I have to admire Blizzard, the company.

There was a time when Internext looked something like that!

my invitation must have gotten lost in the mail :(

was that at the anaheim convention center?

yea sure was.

I was in the area but I went scuba diving on saturday instead, and then went to Knott's Scary Farm last night.

Nice :).........
