Can't make it to BlizzCon but still want to check out Blizzard's latest offerings? Blizzard has appeared on the list of sponsors for Penny Arcade's PAX convention, which takes place later this year on September 4-6, 2009 in Seattle, Washington. PAX is a great time and a ton of fun -- I went a few years ago, and really enjoyed it. In addition to a terrific lineup of geeky musicians and demo panels from game developers, they always have a nice open floor full of the latest games to check out and play. And since PAX will be going down after BlizzCon (which takes place in two weeks), if you go, you'll likely have a chance to check out whatever Blizzard wants to put on display, be that Starcraft II or Diablo 3, or, you know... anything else they might announce.Plus, tickets to PAX are cheaper and even easier to get than BlizzCon tickets anyway, not to mention that you'll be seeing way more games and companies than just Blizzard. In fact, why am I going to BlizzCon again? I'd almost rather go to PAX this year. I'd love to see Freezepop!
Oh, right, I can't miss our legendary meetup (wait until you guys see the giveaways we have planned!). But even if you're going to Penny Arcade's show because you can't make it to Blizzard's convention, stay tuned here to WoW.com -- we'll make you feel like you're there anyway.

Rumor is there's only about 2,000 tickets left for PAX... so don't dawdle ^.^

I recommend going. I live in Seattle and managed to get back from NYC before the last day last year in time to make Drysc an apple pie. I got hassled by security too, it was pretty amusing. They wanted to make sure it was an apple pie as I said and not cream or explosives. All's well that ends well though.

I can't wait to see what new TOR tidbits BioWare will show off at PAX. We know Blizz will save nothing for PAX(all for BlizzCon), but at least we'll have stuff to look forward to at PAX from the non-Blizzard game developers.

I will laugh if they announce something bigger in PAX than in Blizzcon.

Blizzard was also listed in the vendor list for San Diego Comic-Con. The entire booth space was devoted to Activision though. I'm not holding my breath.

Blizzard was at PAX last year showing off Starcraft 2 and Wrath of the Lich King so don't count them out yet. Besides, Activision had a booth somewhere else too.

Anyone know the best day to go? I live in Seattle and want to stop by but the schedule's not up yet.
