Ok I know its technically not a video game, but I didnt know where else to post this.

Is anyone going to Blizzcon this year? I considered trying to get tickets, but ultimately decided against it. Maybe next year. I am getting the live stream again. Got it the last 2 years and considered it well worth the money. I even booked time off work so I can watch the whole thing end to end without worrying about getting up for work the next day.
 
Quakecon?! Thats basically a massive LAN party. You even have to bring your own PC.

Blizzcon has PVP tournaments as well to be sure, but thats only a tiny part of what they offer. They offer sneak peaks of upcoming titles, demos of said upcoming titles, discussion panels on their 3 franchise's and various other things, including a concert by a big name performer at the closing ceremonies. Plus you get exclusive WoW and SC2ingame items.

The only reason I'd feel tempted to go is the pet that comes with attending, but I heard tell that the pet was also available last year to those who streamed Blizzcon - is that free? Can I still get my pet?

The opening ceremony will be available to all to watch for free. But the rest you will need to pay for.

The ingame items will only be given to those who actually buy the live stream.

I paid for the live stream last year and it was well worth the money. Watching the dance and costume competitions live at 3am with some mates laughing our **** off.

The two presenters were good too, well, one of them was, some bloke who is a comedian. The woman was totally crap and didn't have any people skills or knowledge of the game at all.

I agree. The 2009 one just had Jay Mohr hosting the dance contest. That second host for last years one was just out of place and ackward. Especially when they did that stupid "lets deliberately interview two people at once so our voices overlap" stunt.

I thought the multi-channel format was waaaay better than the single channel stream from 2009. Meant we got to pick what panels to watch rather than always having to watch the main stage ones. And the Tenacious D concert was fantastic!!!

I'm personally predicting the highlights for this year will be info on Diablo 3, SC2: Heart of the Swarm and a new Wow expansion being announced.
 
Well todays the day! I got my Murkablo pet in the post, my fridge is stocked with America soda, my candy supplies are ready and in a few hours I'll be going out to get a couple of pizzas from Dominos.

Bring it on Blizzard! :D

Hmm its tomorrow right? Shame we have to pay to watch it online now :/ I'm anticipating an official announcement of the next warcraft expansion, a starcraft 2 heart of the swarm in depth look, and the opening cinematic of diablo 3 plus official release date.

Its a two day event. Today and tomorrow. It kicks off at 6pm UK time.
 
The opening ceremony is on right now. Its just Mike Morhaine right now, talking about stuff thats happened over the last year and stuff thats upcoming.

Chris Metzan will be on soon, and a WoW expansion is almost definetely gonna be announced.
 
I really dont understand why Pandarans are getting so much hate and the way people are insisting they will end the game.

People said the same thing about Worgen and that worked out fine.
