BlizzCon 2010 was a blast to attend this year. It took place October 22 and 23 at the Anaheim Convention Center. This year, the convention let fans take a close look at the soon to be released World of Warcraft: Cataclysm expansion and even allowed for some to try out a demo of the game.
Also featured was the band Tenacious D with Jack Black and Kyle Gass. The preformed live for the fans during the closing ceremonies.
Blizzard also held their tournaments for World of Warcraft, Warcraft III and Starcraft II. I quickly figured out how much I was lacking when it came to laying these games compared to the contestants present that day. It was entertaining and even education to watch the efficiency and tactics that players involved into their competitive efforts.
Elsewhere on stage were various artists used by blizzard in their game creation. These artists created work live on stage throughout the day so that fans could witness the creation of their favorite virtual heroes and lands.
A live game show was hosted where attendees could test their knowledge of various Blizzard gaming lore. Many played and had fun. Prizes and bragging right lay in store for all who triumphed in that game. Although I knew many of those questions, I am saw quickly how much I did not know and was glad that I did not volunteer to play.
I wonder what BlizzCon 2011 has in store.
