BlizzCon!

So today is the first day of BlizzCon, and of course I'm not there! God knows I wanted to be there, but, meh I live in Maryland, flights to California ain't cheap. It also doesn't help that it's right smack dab in the middle of fall semester. Free time is rather scarce for me, though, who would have thunk it? Considering I did just decided to start a blog the other day. I guess I have a weird way of dealing with stress, well more like giving myself more excuses to procrastinate assignments. Anyways, the moral of the story, there was no way in hell that I was gonna make it out to BlizzCon this year. It doesn't stop me from feeling left out and bummed that I'm not there though. I didn't buy any of that live coverage crap either, so I can't virtually pretend I'm there. That won't stop me, however, from trying to figure out, what the hell is going on in the cornucopia of awesomeness (apparently stench too), that is the Anaheim Convention Center for the next couple of days.

My plan is to follow Twitter, MMO-Champion, WoW.com, or rather WoW.joystick.com, like a hawk. I mean I know it's going to be the best way to hear about all the news first, and the best thing is, it's completely free! I'm hoping to put a blog post up tonight and tomorrow night, dedicated to BlizzCon related things. I want to take the news and various announcements, and offer my opinion on them. I am a WoW nerd, so naturally all of the WoW related news, is going to take precedent over let's say StarCraft II news. I'll be honest here, and admit that I've never played a Diablo game. However, Diablo , is incredibly intriguing to me. It's probable that I'll be discussing what ever they announce as the fifth class this year, it's invent able people. So be on the look out for these posts!

I do have a couple of predictions for what they are going to be announcing at this years BlizzCon. As, I stated earlier, along with the new class announcement for Diablo 3, there will be an array of announcements for this game, making it a very Diablo 3 centered BlizzCon. I'm sure there will be some form of a StarCraft II announcement,the title of the next game perhaps? As for WoW, eh, I don't really know. I think it's going to be a bit of slow BlizzCon for WoW related to news. I'm sure that it's just going to be more blathering on about why Cataclysm is going to be the best expansion ever! Which I'm sure it will be, but, recycled news, well it kinda blows.... Now, for the big announcement, I'm pretty sure, it's going to be Blizzard announcing what the heck their new MMO is. Hopefully, though, I really have no doubt, it is Blizzard we are talking about here, this game will look awesome! So these are just some of my basic predictions for BlizzCon this year. You'll have to stay tuned to find out if I really do posses physic capabilities!
