For anyone that might come here to trash this...
QuakeCon anyone?

Well, I suppose these people need somewhere to go now that the Star Trek franchise is dead.
I'm surprised they haven't been doing something like this all along.

Not everyone can be as cool as to go by the name REAPER!
NERD FIGHT!
NERD FIGHT!
It's okay, I have a dagger enchanted with +2 when fighting nerds.
Another nerd convention, I hope Triumph can make it.

Sounds like people would be much more friendly here than at lan parties.
Again I point to the Asian market for all things Blizzard, which by all accounts totally destroyes Trekkies, Star Wars Freaks etc.
This is how WoW was able to hit 2 million active accounts.
Nerds or not I wouldn't mind having stock in Blizzard.

There is something wrong with this and I can't place my finger on it. I just have the extreme urge to be as far away from this as possible.

If this were within driving distance (2-3 hours), I'd almost consider it, but from reading that press release above, I just can't see what the hell I'd do there... Now, I don't need to knock anyone (or group) to make myself feel better, and getting together will people with similar interests to yack for hours is all fun n shit, but I'm just not seeing the pull for this kind of event.
By no means am I a quake fan(atic), but isn't Quake Con a bigass lan party? That's appealing... And sure, they'll prolly have some PCs for people to play competitive RTS's, but... well... Bleh...

Anyone willing to bet Tumbler wouldn't fly across the world to go DiceCon?
I hope some breasts get involved.
Sorry, Can't attend. I'll be downloading the latest Hellgate screenshots.
What is Blizzard anyway?

I only play manly games like WW2 shooters and that's only during my breaks between my body building schedule and racing my mustang. I can't believe these nerds would try to have fun doing something, I can't imagine what it would be like to be so pathetic!
Welp, the playboy bunnies in my bedroom are begging for it again so I better get off this internet gaming news site which is probably almost a little too nerdy for me and get back to business.
And on a serious note I don't know what I was imagining reading when I replied to the first post but at least reaper has a sense of humor.

Blizzard announces Diablo 3 at Blizcon with playable demo.
Hmmm... playable demo a far stretch... I think there will be a demo of Ghost released maybe... Maybe an announcement of a new game in development (diablo 3 is a possibility...)... But I think the main thing that will be announced is an expansion pack to WoW.
And on a serious note I don't know what I was imagining reading when I replied to the first post but at least reaper has a sense of humorYeah. I'm as nerdy as the next guy that visits this site, but sometimes it goes too far. A convention to celebrate a single company? It's just mental masturbation, and it really isn't necessary (this goes for Blizzard and id), in my not so humble opinion.

Shit, I'll double it to 20 and say you're wrong...

Eh; I'd agree with that if WoW didn't have two million customers; not to mention the Warcraft, StarCraft and Diablo franchises all being million sellers as well. SOMEBODY is playing those games.
Anywho, it looks Blizzard found a replacement for their ECTS announcements. Shame I'm going to be hanging out with the assholes at PAX this year, can't really justify two trips for extremly geeky endeavors.
