Blizzcon

I just opened up my email and got something about ordering a virtual ticket to blizzcon since all the physical tickets are already sold out. That pisses me off really hard, not that I was going to go or watch but that they are willing to charge people to watch the internet streams of the show.

Take a look for yourself at this insanity http://us.blizzard.com/blizzcon/
now you can watch the costume contests from the safety of your home!

Don't you guys think webcams and all that shit should be free to the public?

Never much cared for Blizzard, in all honesty. Having them merge with Activision only continued to distance me from them as a company.

That's coming from an ardent PC Gamer, by the way. I loathe Activision.

Good thing I could give two fucks either way, about the show, the company, or the suckers who delve.

Looking forward to Diablo III, can't deny. But yeah, those guys are swell!

Seems like a predictable move from a company that not only charges monthly rates for the most unfulfilling game ever, now even has the gall to sell games at 150$ a pop with little to no complaint from their audience.

Isn't blizzcon just a publicity stunt? I see no reason to attend, let alone actually paying for tickets, physical or otherwise.

Honestly, a Con within these parameters is more akin to fraud than to what it actually means.

Hope you're prepared to wait. And wait. And wait.

I wouldnâ€™t give them 1Â¢ to watch something that Iâ€™ll see on You Tube three hours earlier anywaysâ€¦

Please, tell us your secret for watching live broadcasts on Youtube three hours before they exist.

By swell, I mean swell guys, naturally. And yeah, I'm sure the WOW graphics are gonna look pretty rad in 2012, shortly after the apocalypse.
