Damn fucking Blizzard... making me want to go... even though I know it's not gonna be too great..

They've been going on and on about Starcraft: Ghost for years now and I've yet to see any reason why it's taking so long... I don't like playing official WC3 maps anymore... the Q&A is going to be pretty much the same as the forum.. Copy and Paste answers to questions...

What's left? Playing on Battlegrounds while sitting next to friends? >_>

Hell, they're even encouraging people to go to Disney while they're there. XD

Yeah I know, "But but, we'll have disneyland!" XD
I'm planning on going into disney and farming the country time bears for phat loot.

I've saving up to get my spinning teacup mount. XD

XD XD omg, will that raise our 'park attendant' faction? Does that mean I'll get to buy special pattern: Mikey Ears hat at the vendor for cheaper?

Tigger = epic mount. XD (And surely everyone knows that even before I heard it was in the convention center proper, the fact that it was to be in Orange County *already* had me planning to try for Disney as well. The fact that it's discounted is *so* *bonus*.)

Yes, we get exhalted status with blizzard for attending allowing us a discount when buying disney tickets from them. XD I wanna go again soooo bad. For having grown up so close to it I never got to go , not even because of the price but because my family's a bunch of fud duds. XP

That's so not right. D: My family it woulda been the price. But even when things were tight, they took us to the craptastic amusement park that used to be in Omaha here once inna while. But then again, I think it was my folks that I got my not-gonna-grow-up attitude from. >_>;

Oh sweet deal, anaheim convention center even. XD

Yeeeeeeeeeeahhh >3 So will be familiar with that place, and with the hotels nearby. Btw, did you see over on the DB boards where I was muttering about hotels? The place we went to for AX is not on their hotel list :( But of their list, the Marriot actually looks darned inexpensive--and as always, is one of the closest.

What I may do is contact the hotel about reservations, then discuss it with you more after we have tix, since I could always cancel.

Yah, I left a reply there, sure you've seen it by now though. We may want to get the mariott this time from what I'm seeing for prices. Less than $100 a night for a double. Although, did the coast when we were there be something like $87 a night? I can't remember. XP

I can't remember what we paid, typical that I'd space something like that off.

If I'm remembering right, the con's Oct.28-29, so I'll call soon as I can and get for checkin the 27th and checkout the 30th. I might try to call today at lunch if it'll let me dial 800 # from our work phone. If not, I'll try for such at home.

...though omg, check out the ticket price. https://register.rcsreg.com/regos-1.0/blizzcon2005/ga/top.html
Wow. I...I still think I want to go. But whoa. That's steep. But only 4400 people, that's really small for a con. Btw, I'm willing to buy your ticket at the same time I get mine (and I'm assuming James here will still be interested in going), and will just smack it all on one of my credit cards.

I know total costs will be steep--but I don't think I'll buy as much merchandise as I would at an anime con (and even that, I don't think I'll be getting as much at Otakon as I would normally), so maybe that'll balance out the tix price some. Also, I'm treating this as kind of a once-in-a-lifetime sort of thing. I just don't know if it'll be as big next year this time--seems like now's the time for a con, before the hubbub dies down.

Gah. O_o For that much there better be a lot of damn good free promo stuff.

But yeah, WoW will likely start to die down, most MMO's do, so I doubt they'll be able to get a very big con next year if they did it. Even if they came out with another game the big thing they have going for this is WoW.
