Blizzcon 2007, originally uploaded by tigerpaw511.
I was given the opportunity to borrow a pass for a few hours in order to attend this years Blizzcon. For those of you that do not know what this is, it is Blizzard Entertainment’s annual conference showcasing the games they publish. They only sell a limited amount of tickets. With over 9 million people playing World of Warcraft alone, this is a much sought after event.
The hall was filled with far too many pieces of artwork to take a photo of them all. I took a few and those can be seen on Flickr. I was most impressed with the number of PCs they had setup in order to showcase the newest upcoming expansion – Wrath of the Lich King. There was literally hundreds of systems setup just for this purpose. There was also a couple hundred systems setup and dedicated to the second installment of the game Starcraft. Â Even though I had a limited amount of time to spend on the floor, I was able to play the new expansion, check out the vendor booths and watch a couple of pro gamers go head to head. Impressive.
