For the Horde! BlizzCon 2008 invades Anaheim Oct. 10-11

Blizzard Entertainment announced today that BlizzCon will be held at the Anaheim Convention Center (that's California) on October 10-11 and that tickets will go on sale for $100 (same as last year) in the next couple of weeks. Even though the event will take up three convention halls this year (instead of two), we strongly recommend getting tickets as soon as they go on sale -- last year sold out mighty quickly.

Official details will be on the BlizzCon site, but expect WoW Insider to cover all the angles as well. As per usual, Blizzard saves its big announcements for its own events and we're expecting one at its World Wide Invitational this June in Paris. At least we won't be let down with the company's lack of information at E3 this year ... because it won't be attending.

Dibs on the one with the tiny head.

Celor: May 12th 2008; 1:02PM

ROFL!

xGeneral DEATHx: May 12th 2008; 1:10PM

I was thinking I'd take the one with the bigger head anyways...

P.s. Your comment made me piss myself laughing. Dry cleaning bill is on the way.

FOXHOUND: May 12th 2008; 1:12PM

I don't mind leftovers! LOL, actually, it reminds me of that talkshow on GTAIV about the housewife bitching that her husband wanted to go "aggro" on her ass after playing the WOW-knockoff game mentioned.

And $100 for admission? Eyouch. As a Florida resident, I could go to both Disney and Universal Studios for that much... to which I seriously doubt BlizzCon could match that. :\

Foxhound gets a +1 for the "LootWank" reference.

Lone Starr: May 12th 2008; 2:18PM

Hahahaha. I was on the phone and had to disguise my laughter as a cough.

+1 sir.

krizoitz: May 12th 2008; 7:16PM

where did you find your forum avatar good sir?

Co: May 12th 2008; 10:39PM

Damn that bitch got a tiny head...

StuScotsLazyEye: May 12th 2008; 1:02PM

*crickets*

xGeneral DEATHx: May 12th 2008; 1:12PM

As a brief sidenote, I would like to ask where in the hell women like this actually live. I don't think SC has any in stock right now.

Tim: May 12th 2008; 1:57PM

That's cuz the one on the left is a dude

Tim: May 12th 2008; 1:58PM

Actually, both of them are.

xGeneral DEATHx: May 12th 2008; 2:49PM

*Vomits*

xFenixKnightx: May 12th 2008; 2:51PM

General Death

But I thought Ghey Clan FTW? LMAO!

xGeneral DEATHx: May 12th 2008; 3:29PM

Fenix:

Sigh...yeah. :-p

I'll never forget the day you left our clan to be non-ghey-associated. :-(

Martez: May 12th 2008; 1:19PM

Proof that being skinny with a nice body does not make you hot.

baby sea tuna: May 12th 2008; 1:24PM

Yeah, but compared to most of the women that actually play MMOs, these gals are Victoria's Secret Supermodels!

Huey2k2: May 12th 2008; 1:25PM

That's what doggie style is for.

FOXHOUND: May 12th 2008; 1:32PM

+1 for you, sir. Of course, all those supermarket paper bags come in handy here, too.

Plastic Target store bags for aim-practice. ;]

xGeneral DEATHx: May 12th 2008; 1:50PM

Foxhound: Now I've pissed a fresh pair of pants. Thanks. A dry-cleaning bill matching BST's is on its way.

Target practice...LMAO!

xFenixKnightx: May 12th 2008; 1:32PM

Yup, just as I suspected. Nothing but comments about the elf girls. :P

So, since I'm already here. Yeah, I'd hitem. lol

"Hey sexy elf girls wanna see my e-peen?"

8============D

Martez: May 12th 2008; 1:35PM

Chicks love a big gamerscore.

xFenixKnightx: May 12th 2008; 1:40PM

You mean, gamerchicks right? lol

Ubiqutous Oxymoron: May 12th 2008; 1:36PM

lol, tiny head. oh, but given the opportunity to stretch her esophagus with my full on half ork chubby...

FOXHOUND: May 12th 2008; 2:05PM

+1
...that comment painted a godawful mental image, that I can't help but laugh at... as it reminds me of random WC2 ork quotes.

xGeneral DEATHx: May 12th 2008; 2:50PM

ZUG-ZUG!

PojoMofo: May 12th 2008; 1:37PM

DO NOT WANT!!!!

ill trooper: May 12th 2008; 1:46PM

$100? Wait a minute... That's like, how many months of WoW subscription? Those elfin 'twins' are hot but still, WoW is such a turn-off for me. Tank, I need an exit!

Korova: May 12th 2008; 1:50PM

The one of the right looks like a man to me. But if it proves otherwise, I'd hit it.

Goblin Cheese Master: May 12th 2008; 1:52PM

uh...

EMaster: May 12th 2008; 1:54PM

NERD ALERT!

Or better yet, to quote homer simpson:

"H'NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD"

Blazur: May 12th 2008; 3:08PM

This begs the question of whether or not StarCraft 2 will be out by then, which for many would be the biggest incentive to attend by giving them the opportunity to play the game ahead of time. Of course it's also feasible to predict Diablo 3 will be playable at this year's BlizzCon after the announcement at WWI.

xGeneral DEATHx: May 12th 2008; 3:31PM

I thought most guys attended in order to get elf poon.

wickedpheonix: May 12th 2008; 5:40PM

Oh wow, I'm going to USC next year... but I'm one of 3 guys on the planet who doesn't care about WoW or Starcraft or Diablo. Those chicks are teh hawtness though, might be worth $100/ticket just to go in and see those live :P
