Just a quick reminder that there are 2 days left to enter the drawing for the BlizzCon 2011 Ticket and Custom Minitarz Character. All proceeds go to Child’s Play.

I can tell you that there are less than 10 entries, so your odds of winning are REALLY good!

This Ticket is Child’s Play!

We’re running a contest over at LFG: BlizzCon from June 1st to June 30th. Donate to Child’s Play and get a ticket for our virtual raffle.

The winner will receive a badge for BlizzCon 2011 (no swag bag) and a custom character illustration (minitarz). 100% of the proceeds will go to Child’s Play. For more info, including rules, Click Here.

Although the details of the raffle are TBD, most likely it will be conducted just like our last raffle.

BlizzCon 2009: n00bz

Shelbi — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 22:58:55 +0000

On the last day of BlizzCon, we headed to the store for a number of goodies, including a blank n00b. Designing my own n00b was one of the things I wanted to do most at BC. I sat down at a table at 11:00am and didn’t get up from that seat until 4:30pm. While it was my intention to spend a few hours there, I had no idea I’d be there for over five. However, I do have a habit of being overly obsessive about my work and I don’t like to stop until I’m finished. Check out the pics of my Rogue Tier 5 (Deathmantle) n00b, created with Sharpie markers and paint pens:

Check back for more pics and BlizzCon reports soon!

Update: Check out all this awesome swag we’ll be handing out. Temporary tattoos, stickers, and keychains. Find us at BlizzCon and ask us for loots. Now Including DeathKnights!

We’re going to be at BlizzCon again this year. It’ll be our second time to attend and we’re stoked.

We missed a ton of people last year due to poor planning but this time we’re going in prepared with epic gear and a bunch of loot to hand out. That’s right, Shelbi has been slaving over a hot oven making various charms and whatnot to handout to all of our endearing fans.

Here’s our rough itinerary:

Thursday Night (08.20.09): The 3rd Annual Wow.com Meetup at the Annabella Hotel’s Tangerine Patio.
Friday Night (08.21.09): We’re gonna hit up the Tangerine again for the Twisted Nether Meetup.
Saturday Night (08.22.09): The 2nd Annual Blizzcon Afterparty at the Hilton.

Now during the day, we’ll most likely be at one of three places:

At the actual convention
At a nearby restaurant for some nomz.
In our hotel room for a nap.

As for the convention, we will definitely be attending the closing ceremonies for both nights, I may or may not be participating in the costume contest, and we’ll do our best to hit up the Dark Iron meet. I also want to get in some more Diablo 3 playtime and if they have a playable version of Cataclysm, I’ll be all over it.

Feel free to follow my twitter (@MrRoach) if you want to pinpoint our location.

Despite any truly epic announcements I still feel that BlizzCon was a huge success. The lines were long and the odors were quite pungent at times but we still had a blast. We met up with a couple of rogues who also happen to be IRL friends and enjoyed most of what the con had to offer. They say a picture is worth a thousand words so let me take that route.

FREE Swag at BlizzCon!

Shelbi — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 06:42:28 +0000

As you all know, BlizzCon ‘08 starts tomorrow. Right now, it’s 1:35AM and I have to get up in two hours to get ready for our plane which leaves around 6AM. But first, I wanted to take time to thank everyone who keeps up with this blog, even though our posts are rare these days. Also to everyone who appreciates and encourages my art. Today and tomorrow I’ll be giving away free Starprints swag at BlizzCon. Charms, stickers, vinyl bumper stickers… even temporary tattoos! I have limited availability considering the amount of people that will be at BlizzCon, so first come first serve.

BlizzCon 2008

Shelbi — Tue, 13 May 2008 17:54:16 +0000

Yesterday, as I’m sure you guys have heard, Blizzard announced the dates for BlizzCon 2008. In a press release they stated:

Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. today announced plans for its third BlizzCon™ gaming convention, to be held at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California on October 10 and 11. BlizzCon is a celebration of the global player communities surrounding Blizzard Entertainment®’s Warcraft®, StarCraft®, and Diablo® franchises. In response to the demand to accommodate more attendees, this year’s event has expanded from two convention halls to three.

Tickets should go on sale within the next few weeks. So, I’m curious to see how many of you might be attending. Jon and I are making plans already.
