BlizzCon 2010

I never got around to writing about BlizzCon, so I’ll try to write a short version of the event here.

 
Thursday I went with gem, Shaun, and his friend to pick up our tickets. It didn’t take as long as I expected it to take. We waited less than two hours – longer than ComicCon’s processing but much shorter than Anime Expo.
On Friday I met with Antonio and we headed to BlizzCon together. We spent most of the day hanging out together. Unfortunately my phone died, so keeping in contact with people was difficult. We managed to get gem in that day too, which was cool. For the most we watched panels. Learning about the Diablo III was great, and the WoW lore panel was very interesting. I loved hearing more about Thrall! I saw the costume competition but missed the dance competition because I went with Shaun and his friends to Medieval Times. We took a limo over there, which was interesting, and the dinner and show was excellent. We had chicken, tomato soup, bread, ribs, and a apple-pie-croissant-thing for dessert. Tasty! The show was really exciting. Thoroughly enjoyable evening!
On Saturday we spent more time just wandering around. We also got to watch some of the arena tournament. I got really into it and will definitely watch more in the future. We spent a few hours watching and then headed back to the main part of the hall for the Tenacious D concert. I really enjoyed it! The Metal came on stage to dance during the song and even battled the Lich King when he came out! Luckily they became friends! Afterwards I checked the D3 lines, but they were really long. We decided to end the evening by taking a picture with the orc/wolf statue. There were two guys there who apparently were going around posing as each statue and taking pictures. They asked me to take a picture of them I did, and then they asked if we were going to check out any of the game. I said that I wanted to see D3 but that the lines were too long. He proceeded to point to his employee badge and said we could go play together. It was pretty cool! We did some 3-on-2 Diablo III PVP with them! Antonio, gem, and I really sucked! But still, it was a lot of fun. I’m really looking forward to D3 and now the PVP as well!
Over the next week, we also went back to watch more of the stream. We finished up watching some of the WoW tournament. aAa won, but I was hoping Complexity Red would win. Too bad! And I also got my sweet Deathy pet and Deathling Figure Print! In summary, BlizzCon 2010 – really cool!
