	BlackChampagne -- no longer new; improvement also in question.: Blizzcon Photo Page. Saturday, December 31, 2005 Blizzcon Photo Page. At long last, I found the time to sort through my Blizzcon photos from Halloween weekend, and they're now posted on a photos page with captions and discussion and all that. Blizzcon Photos! These are far less visually-interesting than the recent batch from Death Valley (or pretty much any of the other vacation photo sets, for that matter), so don't go looking for eye candy, unless you count the Starcraft Ghost model, and you'll see better photos of her on other sites, many of them linked from my Blizzcon Photos page. What you will find here are captions and talk about the event, the missing Diablo presence, the incredible waiting line to get in, and so on. Now I just have to figure a way to turn this outpouring into an article for the D2 site, 2 months later. I'm thinking top 5 and bottom 5 things about Blizzcon, in the style of my old Decahedrons, and that might even work. Since there's not much NFL football worth watching this weekend, I hope to find the time to get it done by Monday. Here are a few sample shots, and again, click to the appropriate page to see lots more. You've probably heard of "the line" from Blizzcon, but you really had to see it. This is the third shot I took of it (all 3 are on the photo page). I took one near the entrance, looking maybe 80 meters down the side of the long building. Then I walked down there and turned the corner and took another shot of the next 50 meters of line, and walked to that corner, and took this one. And it just kept on going. This guy was actually pretty funny. He was standing outside the convention center early on, shouting nonstop through his megaphone about how Blizzard was oppressing and enslaving Murlocs, and how his people should be freed, etc. His URL is www.craftingworlds.com/savemurlocs and he's got more photos and movies and everything. Possibly including a mental disease. The merch menu. Many of the sales items were in our goodie bags already, happily enough. The key chain, playing cards, a WoW and Blizzcon t-shirt, one of the silicone bracelets, etc. Unfortunately, they didn't have anything else I wanted. No action figures or games or convention-only t-shirts, etc. The cinematic posters were pretty cool, though, and I might have gotten the D2 one, if it had been anything other than Baal's smirking face. Yes, I had to get a self-portrait. I'm wearing a D2X shirt, of course, and apparently readying myself to defend against a free kick. One minute after Rush took this photo with my camera I thought, "Why the hell didn't I have her point the gun at me?" but by then it was too late. See the whole set, and captions, here. Posted by: Flux # 3:22 AM Comments: I wonder how many people mistook that sorceress for a character from Warcraft. She also looks quite wrong - proportions are all out of whack. yorble was my verification word, first time I'd had a semi-word for one. #: 8:00 PM posted by Anonymous "Here's some WoW monster, and it was a popular costume for fans too. I saw several guys walking around (3rd shot down) with double swords and weird, snarling, lipless mouths, though I would probably have guessed cenobite before Wow monster. Actually that would be character art for the playable Undead race, which would be why you saw so many of them hanging around. #: 9:44 AM posted by Anonymous Post a Comment << Home Archives May 2005 June 2005 July 2005 August 2005 September 2005 October 2005 November 2005 December 2005 January 2006 February 2006 March 2006 April 2006 May 2006 June 2006 July 2006 August 2006 September 2006 October 2006 November 2006 December 2006 January 2007 February 2007 March 2007 April 2007 May 2007 June 2007 July 2007 August 2007 September 2007 October 2007 November 2007 December 2007 January 2008 February 2008 March 2008 April 2008 May 2008 June 2008 July 2008 August 2008 September 2008 October 2008 November 2008 December 2008 January 2009 February 2009 March 2009 April 2009 May 2009 June 2009 July 2009 August 2009 September 2009 October 2009 November 2012
