Via Blues, the news that Blizzard will be hosting a games convention. The event, scheduled for October 28th and 29th, is intended to celebrate all three of the Blizzard franchises (Diablo, Starcraft, and Warcraft). From the announcement: "Attendees can look forward to a variety of events, including participating in question and answer panels with the developers of World of Warcraft® and StarCraft: Ghost(TM), playing Blizzard games live with friends, and watching the world's best Warcraft III and StarCraft pro-gamers compete in the BlizzCon Invitational tournament."

    The video spread like wildfire throughout the WoW community about a month ago, and it's been leaking into online communities everywhere since then. Even if you don't play WoW, the video is worth seeing.

    I didn't buy Warcraft III, or anything else by Blizzard, as a result of Blizzard's stupid actions.
