BlizzCon 2008: Bingo results

Bad news. We didn't hear about a WoW expansion, or anything solid about the next-gen MMO at the convention in Anaheim, so this year's BlizzCon bingo failed. There might be hope, if you're willing to fudge things -- in the Art panel, they did obliquely mention the next expansion, and quickly corrected themselves, so if you take that as an official announcement (and you saw someone playing the TCG or Board Game throughout the weekend, you could win with the free space). Or, if you saw Jim Lee while he was there (we didn't), and consider all the talking about Dance Studios to have actually seen the studios themselves (we don't) then maybe you hit five across that way.
Otherwise, you're out of luck -- unfortunately, no one predicted that they'd cut Starcraft II up into three different games, and L80ETC didn't say anything about DLC for Guitar Hero. The good news, however, is that instead of giving out a prize to someone who presented us with a winning card at BlizzCon (no one did), we'll eventually over it to all of you readers. Stay tuned, and better luck with BlizzCon Bingo next time around.

Although this was just a bit of fun, I would like to point out that column 1 was likely to be impossible (unless they announced both the emerald dream AND the maelstrom...)

Jim Lee WAS at BlizzCon.
He was interviewed live on the air by the roaming DirecTV lady.

I believe they did mention dance studios, too, in a future patch. Bingo!

Technically there's a small star bingo there. Top, bottom, left and right squares adjacent to the free space.

Well, they technically DID announce a new IP (their new MMO), but they didn't say what it was.

Do you have a better source for this so-called Warcraft 4 announcement? I'm not willing to trust a web site I've never heard of before, who's not linking to their source.

Dance studios were confirmed to be included in a post-wrath patch. I would consider that being included in Blizzcon
