August 23rd is just around the corner and as expected, the rumor mills and newswires are going cah-razay! Here is a small summary of whats going around the net for Blizzcon.
But, before we get to it, I would just like to announce that PixelatedGeek will be there for the people who (a) didn’t get a ticket and (b) don’t want to pay for the internet stream. During the keynote and costume contest, we will be live blogging the events. That means, right when we hear something good or see a costume on stage, it’ll be posted on the site, right away! Now, on to the news and rumors.
World of Warcraft
Cataclysm. Everyone is talking about that word. News about that word is that Blizzard filed a trademark on that word the same time the domain name, wowcataclysm.com, expired. Could this mean a new expansion pack announcement at Blizzcon?
Still no rumors about the WoW Live Action Movie. They briefly spoke about it at last years Blizzcon and Blizzard really needs to cough up more juicer details about this project this year. The status of the project has been updated on IMDB.com on June 29, 2009 as being in Pre-Production. So, comon Blizzard. Give us more details!
Starcraft 2
Closed beta should be coming up very soon and many sites are reporting that the game will be coming out by the end of this year. But, you can’t really bet on ANY release date from Blizzard. Like they always say “It’ll be finished when it is finished.”
Also in SC2 news, NO LAN MODE FOR YOU. You must use Battle.net to play with your friends. Even if you host a LAN party, you must go through the internets due to piracy. Yea. Sucks. I know.
Diablo 3
Not much news here. Just expect more art work and more dungeons at the con.
So, that’s it!
Don’t forget about the Live Blogging which we’ll do for the opening keynote, costume contest and other on stage events.

for one, ANYONE who thinks that they wont have much announcments for diablo 3 at blizzcon is a stupid retarded Diablo hater. get this strait, diablo 3 has been in the making for years now and in 2008 they announced 3 classes alone. I am VERY VERY VERY VERY POSITIVE that there WILL BE the release of TWO 22222 TWO NEW classes. A NEW PUBLIC PLAYABLE DEMO that will be for EVERYONE to download and play. not only that, there will also announcment for the DIABLO 3 RELEASE DATE for FALL 2009 to WINTER 2009. Get your preorders ready =D greatest game of all time and yes ( I AM a Diablo fanboy, ive loved diablo since the first one came out years ago.)
