I went to BlizzCon over the past weekend (Oct 28-29) (more likely dragged by Jeff but I met like 8 of his friends--mostly girls o.O). The Con was alright. Not the typical type of conventions I've personally been but suited for the Geek gamer.
Basically introduced the new expansion The Burning Crusade (lol I almost forgot). A new race, the Blood Elves, which are aligned with Horde and have shadow, dark type magic. I didn't get to play the Blood Elves since the set up they had was retarded (200 computers in a giant convention hall and 1 hour play time and 500 people standing in line...hmm yah no)
Hmm lets see some spoilers:
-New class = Hero ( no info)
-Paladins get super love in 1.9 patch. More defensive type stuff. Blessing buff is a group buff on a 20 min timer
-Itemization improvements to include Spell Penetration and Spell Damage
-Battlegrounds = More 10-20 man instances; Aiming to avoid zerg type PvP; Some deathmatch instances (Note: Jeff and the group went to play 1 hour battleground while I blacked out after drinking all day...see below)
-Dungeons - More 20 man-40 man instances. More in depth quests and "tribute" quests)
-Starcraft:Ghost is a great looking FPS game
Other than getting a SWEET T-Shirt that says "/afk"...well...there was some girl drama. I almost made out with another girl, became fucktarded drunk and spent half the night blacked out and puking, and spent another night looking for some dude's wedding ring before his wife kicks his ass
and much much more... but that's another story 
(You can PM or AIM me for details)
