Blizzcon 2010 Today

demon hunter looks interesting, plenty of unique attacks and effects although wonder how it will feel with a ranged attacker that stills does most of it's fighting in melee range.
 
Ehh I'm not into the whole "dual crossbow" thing. Hopefully she will be able to wield a regular bow and bring back great memories of my glass cannon amazon from D2 🙂
 
I'd much rather be at a SteamCon or BiowareCon, I just can't really see blizz's three franchises filling up the hours meaningfully, especially when it's more about the "When?" than "What?". Admittedly I've never been to nor seen a blizzcon either.

Well, once you factor in things like gaming tournaments, contests (costume/acting), concerts/music, discussion panels, game displays, demo areas, more discussion panels, and other things, it fills up the 2 days pretty easily.
 
D3: when asked about if the previously mentioned "about 1 year after starcraft 2 released" was still valid; answer was no info has been released yet.
 
That demon hunter trailer was horrible. If they aren't going to bother to take the time to do a real detailed cinematic they shouldn't bother, the gameplay footage was more worth seeing.

You either need less coffee or a better mobile device to post from, that took way more effort than it should have to follow.

Interesting she thought it was a joke since raffle prizes over $600 require the winner to furnish 2 forms of ID to claim the prize due to the significant tax implications. I'd also remind her that she's going to be on the hook for the FMV of the laptop as income on her 2010 taxes ($5k it sounds like) which I'd figure at around a $2k liability.

Bottom line - she just paid $2,000 for the laptop which will either be added to her tax obligation in 2010 or deducted from her refund. I'd probably sell the thing right away before it depreciates significantly to effectively convert it to a cash prize and sock $2k of the proceeds away for tax time... unless she was looking to spend $2k on a laptop in which case she got a pretty screaming deal. 🙂

This assumes she's in a 40% tax bracket, which even with state tax is unlikely.
 
lol @ dance contest. first group so far and it's an abysmal failure. Looks like they are trying to do more than one at a time for speed and it's pure lulz.


not sure who the band they've got playing is, but the chicks in it seem fairly high on the hottie scale and wearing an appropriately inappropriate amount of clothing.

and now some old, and I mean old, girl that that was a milbox in the costume contest is out for the dance contest, ugh.
 
now some dude comes out in a skirt to do the dwarf female dance................



lol, and he falls while doing it.
 
lol, mohr is awesome. they send a group of 5 guys out to dance at the same time and he asks if they've met each other before this, they respond no and he says "nice so this can go horribly wrong".
 
yowzers!

some dude comes out to do the night-elf female and pulls of his clothes to leave only some type of gawd-awfull one piece leotard thing.

at least guy behind him makes up for it doing the male undead and falling twice. and now for the pure lulz he stays down after the second one and they fireman carry him off cause he says he has a broken leg.

and keeping up the tradition, next two guys include one that takes his shirt off during if with his wow guild written on his back.

they did the same thing for the monk. i thought that trailer was cool.

demon hunter is just eh though. i like melee characters 🙂
 
tripple dog dare wowzers!!!

dude with more than enough belly pops his shirt off in a chris farley act...yikes!
 
now a gorup of 6 guys dressed the same and say they are from the same guild. even brought jay a shirt so he could dress with them.
 
dude in a justin bieber shirt doing female gobline (a rhiahna song) and he's putting way too much effort into it; but amazingly he almost doesn't look as bad as the older chick in a one piece dance leotard.
