Apparently this was announced earlier, but I didn’t know they took out dragoons! Here I was, looking for the unit that is supposed to be next to zealots…and it’s this….weird looking unrecognizable…thing. From the tooltip I couldn’t really tell what it did. Something with electricity. And I had to upgrade to learn it…or something. I have bad memory. I made a couple of those….

Oh! I remember. You can create a field that freezes ground units. It’s a really small field though…like…enough for only one unit to be frozen. Not so nice against the 20 or so hydralisks my friend set out on me. Ew…zerg. Anyhow, maybe I wasn’t using it correctly. Learning new units can be a pain!

So I go about my business and I hear

You must spawn more overlords!

…um….what?

You must spawn more overlords!

….are you kidding me? I can’t spawn an overlord even if I wanted to. I’m protoss…don’t you mean “you must construct additional pylons”?

So…I made a couple more pylons, even though I didn’t really need them, looking at my unit count (I’m slow)…

…maybe this a bug…a very blatant bug

and then I hear it….or actually, I only start to notice it now.

The sickening sound of something mutating or hatching out of slimy eggs.

What….the….heck…?! ewwwww zerg……I can’t stand that sound

And then…….the definite sound of zerglings destroying something very quickly. You know that sound…it sounds like “hwa hwa hwa hwa hwa” rapidly followed by your supply depot blowing up.

….what..the heck…

I turn to look at my neighbor. He is playing zerg. He is not wearing a headset.

Uh…I think I have your headset…sorry! You need more overlords btw…

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?

On the way, I saw a real life starcraft! I suppose this would be…..terran. Must be a new model. StarCraft 3 secretz right here guys.

During the time I was there, I mostly spent time with my little cousin. He is so smart and a good thinker! He was talking to me about pokemon during an early lunch we had (yummy Dim Sum), and he was naming Pokemon that I had never heard of. He said something like “I wish I had Magic Star” and I was like “….what…?” I thought maybe I was out of it, but I’ve been playing the latest Pokemon Pearl for awhile and I’m on my way to victory road…

Later on, I found out why I seemed so out of it. Here is a look at some of his cards:

Insect Arma? Positive Charge Mouse? Thousand year old Tail? Accent Dragon? Hooligan Crab? Shark Beast? Seafish?

And weird stats, and numbers at the bottom. No original artist name… This is a fake! And a very bad one because it doesn’t even try to be real. No wonder my cousin was giving me all these weird names. I told my aunt, wondering if she knew she spent money on fakes, and she said she did. Well, makes sense then.

My cousin did really well on his Chinese school test, so his dad rewarded him with a Tamiya model!! And I ended up making it! ^_^. My cousin helped me though, handed me parts. It was generally a little too hard for him anyway, tons of small screws that he would have gotten lost, and wires that could be easily broken. He put the battery in the case while the wires weren’t connected and handed it to me. I was like “……oookay…let’s take the battery out for now alright??”

I’ve never actually made a model like this with a motor and wires. It’s reeeally fun! This particular model is special because it avoids obstacles like a wall. The head sways side to side and when it hits something, the body automatically turns as the head waves in the opposite direction.
