I think a lot of people go to Blizzcon not for what Blizzard presents, but for the chance to be in a crowd of other Blizz fans. That, and the 'I did Blizzcon' cred they believe they can get from it.

"you won't enjoy the cool Blizzard-theme pet you get for World of Warcraft"

...And people rag on Team Fortress 2 and hats.

If you watch it for free, you won't enjoy the cool Blizzard-theme pet you get for World of Warcraft. :3

This is what I have to say about blizzcon:http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/510137

Good thing i got mine.

[url=#user_comment_64225]@Lien[/url]: I'm actually trying to learn French, although my dedication needs work.

[url=#user_comment_64153]@obama[/url]: Very unique take on this particular comic, my good man. If I hadnt had the pure insight into your beautiful mind as I have, then surely this comment would mean absolutely nothing.

@Dead Herald: To be exact, it's the new Orleans motto, French and English alike say this there. Yoyogre Should go there more often and make us french less arrogant about grammar.

Et utilise google des fois mon vieux!

@Dead Herald: Just like Cajun?

Le' tah gud tymes rool!

[url=#user_comment_64208]@Yoyogre[/url]: It wasn't pure French, it was Creole. Translation: Let the good times roll!

I got my tix already so here's a tip for anyone else: Use the official clock at www.time.gov. And refresh about a quarter second AFTER the proper time, to ensure the site is ready.

Also just throwing it out there -- the increased ticket prices are based on renting more and more of the Anaheim Convention Center every year. BlizzCon is actually a huge money loss for the company, even with tickets that high.

Wow, bunch of negative Nancies in here. I still play WoW, I'm still active and engaged with it (plenty of us are, no matter how LOL OVER IT all the cool kids are). And I generally go to BlizzCon to meet up with my guildies from all over the country (+ Canada). It's 100% worth it for plenty of us.

Love the Murloc at the end. Little bastards are always ruining things.

[url=#user_comment_64175]@Asuka[/url]: I just about spat out my drink when I read that price. Even if I cared and couldn't find free coverage I'd just wait until afterward if it costs that much just to watch the damn thing.

[url=#user_comment_64175]@Asuka[/url]: Or you could just watch everyone else's coverage for free, which lets you look at exactly what you want to see for as long as you like and without dealing with the swarms of unwashed nerds.

Hey, Jo? You don't have to buy the tickets. You can get your self a virtual ticket and watch it online, in my opinion, it's worth the $40 USD.

SCALPERS SCALPERS SCALPERS

So what will we see on Bizzcon this year?
Stuff from Stacraft 2.2, Diablo 3 and maybe just maybe a teaser from Titan? For that price?

I pity the fools that pay to go to Blizzcon.

Blizzard has shown with SC2 that their only interest post-Kotick is fleecing their customers. Anybody giving them more money willingly is an idiot.

I don´t get why people wants Blizzcon tickets to bad...you can always buy the stream ticket to see everything online, and you get a free pet. And that pet is 100 times better then what you get in the goodie bag that you recieve when you actually visit it...

Thanks for the tip: time to get Blizzcon tickets and resell them on Ebay or ten times the value ;-)

There's a reason they sell out, even if you don't want to go, you can sell the tickets for a small mansion. Especially once the tickets are entirely sold out.

I would go to Blizzcon, but the only thing I'm interested in is SC2 DLC and Diablo 3. Blizzcon is Blizzard's way of putting WoW in everyone's face and rubbing in their vast accumulated wealth.

1. go to blizzcon
2. feed the hype machine
3. ????
4. profit!

Slot machines are designed to produce a kind of "Just one more try!" response.

I like slot machines. They always charm me out of my money with magic!

I'm not interested in Blizzcon. Though it wouldn't be hard for me to get there, but what is there to do there, really?

1. Play WoW, which I'm sick of.
2. Play Starcraft, which I hate.
3. Play Diablo, which is old.
4. Look at girls in blood elf cosplay.

1 out of 4. But nah, not worth it.

Fat ass Tauren.
