So Patch 3.1 came out. For most of us it was a total pain trying to raid so I didn’t bother showing up last night. It was good thing because my server was down for the most part. We tried raiding today. Same thing. So my entire raid night was composed of this image below.

Eff You Blizz! Eff You!!1one1!!zomg!!

UPDATE: While we can’t even step into Ulduar, Ensidia has downed Yogg.

Drew and I set out early Friday morning to join our fellow geeks and nerds in Anaheim for Blizzcon. We arrived around 8am, picked up our passes at registration then had breakfast. Drew and I didn’t know what to expect so we played it by ear. We got back from breakfast to be surprised that the line was long. REALLY long. It wrapped around the block into a parking lot back around the block. INSANE.

We finally got in around 11am and there was a line for everything. Drew and I just bit it and stood in line for Starcraft 2. It was good. I played against Drew but we only had fifteen minutes to play before they booted us. So it was a tie at the end. Thankfully most of the show attendees went to opening session which allowed us to go play Diablo 3. HOLY S#!T! I cannot wait for it to come out.

Drew and I had some lunch after, rested and watched the 3v3 arena tournament. It was pretty funny because the Taiwanese team was named “Made In Taiwan.” The entire tournament was pretty cool except for the announcers being right next to the teams and announcing what was going on giving one team an advantage over the other.

We stood in line for the Jinx booth to buy swag. I bought a murloc and two shirts. Drew got a shirt, so he didn’t go wild like me. After, we went back to the car to rest since we were standing in line for a long time. We came back for the costume contest which was pretty fun to watch. We got Rick Rolled! Some dude dressed up as Rick Astley and they played his song then it was announced, “You guys just got Rick Rolled.” EFFF YOU BLIZZ! EFFFF YOU! The chick who won it all created a Turtle Mount that moved and she controlled, which was pimp. I still wanted the warlock in full tier 6 to win. His costume was pretty gnarly.

Anyhoo, I had a good time nerding it up. I came away with a pretty cool goodie bag and of course the Polar Bear Murloc mount!

Yes, that is right. There are a lot of exciting things going on in this small world of mine. One which is taking place this weekend. For those who don’t know yet I play WoW and this year will be the first time I ever attend Blizzcon.

I cannot wait to see the world of Blizzard. I will be watching the arena tournament, watching panels, playing Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 betas! w000t. To top it off I get some cool new toys from the goodie bag they are giving away. It’s like Christmas but for like nerds….or something.

Don’t worry I am going to take loads of pictures!

Yes I fell off the wagon
