Blizzcon 2008 Part 2- Pictures
I finally got my camera back and so I can upload the pictures. Yaaay pictures!
The front of the Anaheim Convention Center. BlizzCon wooo. If you look closely you can see my hunter’s mark on the bottom left corner. We were 20 minutes early, but parking made us late. There was a huge line and we had to circle in a line all the way around and up top to parking spaces that weren’t really parking spaces, but everyone parked there anyway.
Some of the banners up top.
We watched Fnatic vs. Made in Taiwan. I was partial to Made in Taiwan because…well…gotta represent! But Fnatic had an asian girl on their team…I felt like how I do at an Angels vs. Yankees game. Taiwan lost though…it’s okay! I’m sure they were happy to be here. They all had team jackets with “Taiwan” in the noticeable public-relations-tourism-graphic font they like to use.
Frostmourne, yours for $400 bucks. The price is going to be raised near the holidays too. Arena winners and the costume contest winners receive one of these. Nihilum won the arena tournament…they are a EU team. I wonder how they are going to get this 16 pound ish sword onto the plane…
Got a croissant during lunch so I could snack on it later in the afternoon. When I think or see a croissant, I think of Burgle and Arloma. Cwaaasooooon.
Mograine and Whiteman. Rise, my Champion!
Kerrigan. She almost makes zerg hot. But they are still gross.
I didn’t see these get used very much. I did take a picture with it but I don’t have it on me yet.
Ooing and awwing.
mMmMmm…..glowy monitors…..not many people on beta since many people were on wotlk beta already for months.
People playing the World of Warcraft card game. I have a deck. Played it about four times. The instructions are confusing.
This was the mini-game created by J!nx. You choose a class and you get as many balls and special balls according to your class, and you throw them, either a head shot or in the chest. The interesting part are the special balls. If you get them in, they are either a crit, or it means it’s a greater heal (for priests) and you subtract 2 balls from your opponent…or other specials that make sense for the class. You compete with the team next to you and you move on for prizes. I got in 1 out of 10…it is harder than it looks.
Arts.
This guy was dressed up as a pimp orc and walked around with a swagger and a cane. I only caught the back of him <: (.
Drool.
Slurp.
New for Diablo 3.
She reminds me of Padme
There is the throne and people could wait in line to pose up there with the helm and the frostmourne. I never got around to waiting for this.
Yes, that is what it looks like.
Scary….
Another picture of a mass of people.
The Diablo 3 section. Wouldn’t it be cool if we could play a 40 man raid like this? All together in one room?
Blizzcon 2008 Part 1- Day 1
Just got back from my first day at BlizzCon 2008. There weren’t aaaas many panels as I liked compared to last year, but it was still fun to see people that have the same hobbies as me! I didn’t take many pictures of the place because I wanted to save my battery life for the contests at night. Taking video of those sucks up much battery life. @_@. But here is what I have today.
The screens made it really nice to just sit down and watch. You didn’t have to worry about getting a good seat up front because the video camera was a lot better than real life.
Some of the art up there. All professional looking!
I like to see how many people are behind me. There were tons of people there. It was hard to get around the first few hours.
Blizzard got three huge rooms this time, compared to the two last year. That’s the walkway to the middle room.
Honestly, this was the best costume I saw and she didn’t win. That undead female is *dead* on! (teehee…). Seriously, the makeup was amazing and she acts like an undead on the stage. The hair is perfect and the outfit is very accurate. She should have totally won. The person that won was a draenei that sat on top of a huge turtle that moved. Yes, it’s amazing that it’s huge and it moves…but this undead female should have gotten at least some credit in the runner ups. I mean, look at those eyes!
I wore a hunter’s mark over my head today and I actually spent a lot of time on it. I’ve never used wire before and I kind of hurt my hands. No pictures of that yet either…but lots of people wanted pictures of me! Well, maybe just 4 or 5, but I heard a lot of comments as I passed by, or people passed me. Like…
“….she’s got a hunter’s mark on her!”
“careful! a hunter has targeted you!”
“….omg that is so awesome”
“omg hunter’s mark!”
“hahha that’s so funny!”
“awwwwwwwWwww!”
Stuff like that ^_^. Makes me happy inside.
I also got a nice complement on my shirt I made. Pictures of that later too. I just had to update.
Also, videos of the dance contest!
