While Fahey was live blogging the opening ceremony of Bliizzcon, Blizzard made no hesitation rolling out the first of hopefully many announcements with the new wizard class for Diablo III. We got a new video you can take a look at the and see wizard in action. Sadly for us, it's only a little taste of what the lucky folks at Blizzcon are getting their hands on right about now. More »

The folks at Blizzard don't beat around the bush when it comes to their swag. You show up to pick up your badge, and bam, big bag of swag, for you!

By the time this post hits the page I'll be flying high over the continental United States, winging my way through the air towards Anaheim, where Blizzard is holding their annual festival of all things them, BlizzCon.

Ticket sales for this year's BlizzCon went up, then down, earlier today as the bulk of those made available by Blizzard sold out within minutes of going live. It's been a bit of a rocky road, as the Blizzard Store processing ticket orders barfed from gorging itself on the horde of potential BlizzCon attendees. More »

As Fahey pointed out yesterday, Blizzcon tickets went on sale Monday morning only to get log-jammed with a flood of errors. At 10:40 p.m. last night Blizzard decided to pull the plug on ticket sales temporarily and try to figure out what the problem was: More »
