BlizzCon 2007.

Check out the pictures at my Google Photos page. ComicCon photos to follow soon.

I'm not doing a big write up this time. Just a few thoughts.

New expansion pack, Wrath of the Lich King announced for WoW. Played a short demo at The Con. No, the Death Knight was not playable.

Didn't get to play StarCraft II, like I wanted.

They had a panel on the WarCraft movie, with Blizzard and Legendary Pictures (Batman Begins, 300). It sounds good. Legendary doesn't want to make a video game movie; they want to make an epic (think Gladiator or Braveheart) movie that uses the WarCraft lore. (You can read the entire backstory to WarCraft here. It really is interesting.) The producer indicated that they were likely to spend at least $100m on it.

We also watched the StarCraft, WarCraft III, and World of Warcraft 5v5 arena finals. First two were so-so, but the WoW arena finals were very exciting. They were commentated by Ben "Leeroy Jenkins" Schulz, who was actually a very good commentator. He knew the strategies and tactics of 5v5 arena fights and knew what to look for and what to point out to the audience.
