BlizzCon 2010

Don't think I'm a total nerd, ok? Just because I went to BlizzCon this last weekend and spent hours and hours in a "line" to get into a video game expo...
The line in front...
The Line in back.
So it's not like I was the only one there...

Even Waldo managed to show up!

There was a lot of stuff to do at the convention (mostly involving waiting in another line), so we were never bored. Whether it was listening to the hows and whys of the game we went there for (StarCraft2) or watching the pros duke it out for $25k for 1st, $10k for 2nd and $3k for third (yes there are actual pro gamers who make a living playing video games in tournaments for cash prizes) or looking at and playing the beta versions of games not yet released to the public, or just staring at the random costumed person, there
was tons to do.

And by random, I mean not having to do with any game content I could think of. Notice the guy in the bee costume at the bottom left...














It was me, Matt and Aaron and we all stayed in a crappy Motel 6 about a block and a half away from Disneyland and about 4 blocks from the convention center. It's one of those experiences that you are glad you had, but not sure if you want to repeat in the future. I had a lot of fun, stood in a lot of lines, played a lot of games, saw a lot of odd ducks, and got some cool free loot that I am going to sell on eBay to make most of my money back. Cause I sure don't need an in-game pet for WoW...
