StarCraft II Blizzcon Coverage - Let's get together!
Blizzcon 2010 Coverage - Ways to interact with the StarCraft: Legacy community.
Tomorrow the walls of the Anaheim Convention Center play host to one of the most exclusive gaming conventions in the world as the tickets sell out in less than a mere second. Featuring a plethora of game panels sprawling across the Diablo, WarCraft and StarCraft universes, gamers across the world seek to obtain any information they can and discuss with fellow gamers who share a likewise passion.
StarCraft: Legacy has staff at Blizzcon gathering information directly from the source. We also have staff online monitoring the convention and working to provide you coverage as it happens. We will provide this coverage in multiple ways which I'd like to share with you all today. So even if you didn't purchase the online Blizzcon stream, you can gain the information as it comes, discussing with fellow members of the StarCraft: Legacy community.

Re: StarCraft II Blizzcon Coverage - Let's get together!
I fucking wish that i would be at this years Blizzcon :(
Have fun over there. And for gods sakes, if you get to play any Diablo, please. Tell us EVERYTHING about the experience :)

Re: StarCraft II Blizzcon Coverage - Let's get together!
Don't worry, not all of our staff is able to make it, but that's ok cause a lot of our staff has a lot of work to do regarding the posting of the news. That's part of why we're doing this, so we can get our staff at home connected with the community to share in the JOYGASMS of information as it happens.
Last year I was able to transcribe the event as it happened.
FYI, to my knowledge on site staff are LordOfAscension, Crota, SaharaDrac, Zero.

Think that Blizzcon was extra exciting last year when we all waited for more info about Starcraft 2!:D
this year will be pure awesome too with all the sc2 tournaments that will be casted by day9 himself! ;D and the Heart of the swarm lore panel!:)

Re: StarCraft II Blizzcon Coverage - Let's get together!

Thanks.

Meh, I'm not getting my hopes up for the SP again. If its the masterpiece SC was, I'll enjoy it when it comes out but I won't hold my breath again.

Re: StarCraft II Blizzcon Coverage - Let's get together!
Same. Let's see some diablo 3.
-
Re: StarCraft II Blizzcon Coverage - Let's get together!
Definitely some Diablo 3.
The first two years of Diablo 2 was the most addicted to any non-IRL I've ever been.
-
Re: StarCraft II Blizzcon Coverage - Let's get together!
Gifted I still really appreciate your coverage from last year when you weren't even on the SCL team, so I'm really looking forward to joining you and the rest of us on IRC again this year. I can't justify $50 for two days of streams when the information provided by SCL is just as good. However. If I didn't have to pay 2k to fly to the US I could easily justify the ticket for the experience. Looking forward to waking up at 4am for this :)

So what you consider not poor? Because personally 2k is alot! for one pretty sweet event...but for 2k u could go on a HUGE trip!

Re: StarCraft II Blizzcon Coverage - Let's get together!
*facepalm*
'Twas sarcasm.
Back on topic.

Re: StarCraft II Blizzcon Coverage - Let's get together!
The real problem is that Blizzard is so full of themselves that they don't see SC2 single player as being "poor" nor do they see the voice acting or the sound scape being really badly done because, honestly, it isn't "bad" persay.
It's like saying the same thing about a person who works 100 hours on a 100 page paper and a person who works 20 hours on a 100 page paper. Except the person who worked 100 hours is a retard and the person who worked 20 hours is shakespeare. So we're stuck with mediocre writers / actors who work their ass off to create arguably good work, but it lacks any stroke of genius or anything that sets it apart from the basic mundane bull that everyone makes.

Re: StarCraft II Blizzcon Coverage - Let's get together!
Blizzcon already? I haven't even finished pulling the stick out of my ass from the last time they raped me.

This is why soulreaver means so much to me.

Consider watching Daniel Tosh stand-up, seems like the catalyst for Tychus Findlay's sarcasm.
"Why don't we just give all third-world countries breast-implants? Then at least they wouldn't be so gross to look at."

Re: StarCraft II Blizzcon Coverage - Let's get together!
Don't give up on SC2 yet. There are a few panels on SC2:
Cinematics: SC2, SC2 art (this I am most interested in since it may be a big intro to Expansion stuff), Secrets of the Masters, SC2 Story Q&A, SC2 multiplayer, Blizzard sound (I wish I was in the crowd to bash these guys)
-
Re: StarCraft II Blizzcon Coverage - Let's get together!
I forgot to mention:
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEIR UNANNOUNCED PROJECTS ARE!
-
Re: StarCraft II Blizzcon Coverage - Let's get together!
I wonder if we'll get info on the new ip mmo. Otherwise I'm kind of pre-underwhelmd at what they might announce. Diablo next year? Not surprised. Hots 2012? See previous. Shouldn't be anything new on the wow front considering Cat hasn't even released yet. I kind of expect some big announcement, at least from blizzards standpoint, but I can't imagine what it would be if it isn't the new mmo.

Actually I've just come to realise that they won't. How do I know? Check out blizzard.com. All is normal.

That's too bad. Oh well it can't be mind-blowing every year.

If they were going to announce a new game, we'd have been getting teasers for the last few weeks now.
See Diablo 3 splash images :D

Re: StarCraft II Blizzcon Coverage - Let's get together!
Dad's coming over and will be here for the next 3 weeks - no shenanigans for me! :(
-
Re: StarCraft II Blizzcon Coverage - Let's get together!
I'm in the irc channel and already have some basic information to share. and a lot more I can't share.

That's what I meant, except I only just realised it before. They could really trick us by announcing something anyway without pre-hyping it, but I think they enjoy doing that too much.

Re: StarCraft II Blizzcon Coverage - Let's get together!
Blizzard, not hyping the crap out of us poor abused fans?

Yeah, or release date. I know people probably think that's a ridiculous expectation and that people wanted this for SC2 for years and it never came. But I'm not sure D3 will take as much time to release as a game Blizz knew woulld either fail or succeed as becoming the most popular e-sport in the world.

Re: StarCraft II Blizzcon Coverage - Let's get together!
More coverage and conversation regarding yesterday's announcements will be in the chatroom today
My personal emergency is over, so I am able to provide the coverage that you guys deserve, sorry about that all.
-
Re: StarCraft II Blizzcon Coverage - Let's get together!
We deserve Diablo 3 now. What can you do for us, Gifted :D
-
Re: StarCraft II Blizzcon Coverage - Let's get together!
I can not get you Diablo 3, but I can tell you that we're trying to get our coverage online so fast for you guys without the stream we're even publishing basic bulletpoints publically and filling them up later on :)
