Big Blizzcon Blogging

Thursday, October 21st, 2010

god bless Blizzard's official artistsIf you’re at all interested in the Starcraft, Diablo, or Warcraft franchises, you’re probably aware that this weekend is kind of a big deal. Blizzcon, Blizzard’s annual convention dealing with All Things that are Coming Soon(tm), is taking place from October 22nd-23rd (Friday and Saturday!), and myself and “The J.C.” will be present.

In a manner of speaking.

On my couch.

Alright, you got me. Fellow GZer Jon and myself have a Virtual Ticket which streams all con panels live. We’ll be keeping you guys up-to-date with any updates (which will probably be mostly WoW-related, since we have to pick and choose between cons scheduled simultaneously) on Twitter! Don’t expect anything from @gamezombie, though, since we’ll be tweeting a lot.

Instead, follow me at @anniezard and Jon at @koitenbatsu during the convention as we freak out over all the eye candy. Keep in mind this is casting from Anaheim, which means there will be a three-hour time delay. We’ll be tweeting about stuff that happens on the schedule at 1:00 PST when it’s 4:00 EST here. For reference, here’s the con schedule.

Keep watching the blog for our retrospective on the con after everything’s said and done, and do allow us to freak out over Tenacious D juuuust a little.

Stay classy,

-Annie Leonard

Top 5 Indie Games to Watch Out For
meatysticker2

For everyone who knows me, you may know I have a soft side for Indy games. A large chunk of the games I’ve been playing over the past few years have been DLC for the DSi, Wii, Xbox, and PS3. I’ve looked over the horizon at what’s to come, and let me tell you, the horizon looks good. At PAX 2009, I had a chance to talk to both The Behemoth and Twisted Pixel about their upcoming games, and they have some exciting plans.

The Top 5 Indie games to watch out for, in no Particular order…

Sailing Simulation Built to Sink

Iceberg Interactive, based out of Haarlem, The Netherlands, is working on Sail Simulator 2010. Being a former United States Sailor myself, the idea of “[beating] strong sailors to become the top ranked sailor in the world” sounded much more like a drinking competition, which I must admit, I was very excited for. Unfortunately this has nothing to do with drinking, but rather sailing around 4 different scenarios based on the beautiful tropical settings of the Mediterranean which are ideal for… virtual competitive sailing. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you read that correctly: virtual competitive sailing.
