Blizzcon: Day 1

It was a long day, despite traffic not being particularly bad driving to and from Orange County. Previous years didn’t really prepare me for what 15,000 fans in the Anaheim Convention Center would be like — thank goodness for press passes and press seating.I got there early, so I picked two murloc toys, one for James, and one for a friend. (James loves it, although he needs help making it gurgle, so he brings it to me over and over.)

As I guessed, there was no big World of Warcraft announcement, but they did announce a new class for Diablo III (the wizard).

I wrote up most of it in my Twitter feed. The iPhone’s batteries started to go in the afternoon, and I think tomorrow I’ll bring the charging cord and plug and try to plug in somewhere while I write.

Not as good of a Blizzcon for a die-hard WoW fan, but better for Blizzard fans in general. I suspect the pay per view version is actually a pretty good deal, if you don’t need to buy the stuff from the vendors now and can wait for them to stock it in their online stores.
