No major spoilers yet (there are no Cataclysm posters lying around, disappointing as that may be), but it's a great look at the calm before the storm of Blizzard fans that will descend on the area in just a few days' time. Stay tuned for lots more coverage (and we mean lots more coverage) of what's going on in Anaheim. BlizzCon 2009 is almost upon us!
Update: Blizzard has asked us to remove three images from this gallery that showed portions of the interior of the convention hall. As these were blurry, through-the-window shots that didn't clearly show anything of excitement, we don't feel anyone is missing out by not having them available. We'll be sure to update you with plenty of high-quality shots when the convention floor officially opens on Friday.
BlizzCon 2009 is coming up on August 21st and 22nd! We've got all the latest news and information. At BlizzCon you can play the latest games, meet your guildmates, and ask the developers your questions. Plus, there's some great looking costumes.Filed under: Events, Fan stuff, Blizzard, Galleries, BlizzCon

"BLIZZCON: Come for the Dippin' Dots, Stay for the Cataclysm!"

From what I've heard about Dippin Dots, the Cataclysm may be in your pants a few hours later.

Talk about your Twisting Nether....

They're just flash-frozen ice cream.
Are you guys maybe lactose intolerant? o.O

Turpster arrested for loitering!
Mike Schramm wires bail!
Paul Aug 19th 2009 12:46PM
Oh come on, you telling me he couldn't have got past that security guard by simply uttering the words "I'm the turpster"? I will be most sad if he didn't at least try to scam his way in there.
ttvp Aug 19th 2009 12:45PM
Oh man Turpster's gonna be there??? I can't wait!

So, Deathwing in that picture? Looks like a big black dragon.....
Suzaku Aug 19th 2009 1:24PM
Which picture?
Are you talking about the giant statue of Illidan?
Jadeddragon669 Aug 19th 2009 1:45PM
Picture 12. I posted that and looked again and it doesn't look like a dragon after all. Guess I was just a little excited. Are you sure its Illidan? Is there a picture elsewhere of that statue?

@Jadeddragon669
Do a Google image search for "Illidan statue", you will see it.

With that many pictures of the convention center (and the security??) one might think Turpster were casing the place. Are there any DHS choppers circling yet? =)
