BlizzCon Day 1 Pictures and Report Post
aka
ENVY ME MORTALS!!!!!! Post

As expected, Day 1 was an incredible day. It's so hard for to me to even recollect each and every single awesome moment at BlizzCon (p.s. those that couldn't come because of laziness or whatever, you've seriously missed out on something spectacular. Kill yourself, probably).

I took about 90 pictures here. Most of them were of Pro Gamers, the overall BlizzCon area, random TL.net crap/people, etc. Other people took a lot of pictures too, so you can probably expect even more as people return home and upload everything.

Before bombarding you with the millions of pictures (which I'll try to organize within subgroups), it was a real pleasure meeting class acts like Hot_Bid, yubee, NeoIllusions, MANI-FUCKIN-FESTO7, etc. among many others. Mani is an intelligent, generous, hilarious person in real life, just as he is online. Yubee has the biggest exclusive hard-on for sAviOr and is apparently my partner tomorrow for some 2v2 SC2 tournament action (we have perfected (well not really) a build that is sure to reign superior for at least 6 months after SC2's retail release). Overall everyone's been cool to meet and hang out with etc. etc. except for a certain somebody who had to piss all over my kitchen floor (I had to mention this again).

As far as SC2 observations go, I don't think I'm really qualified to give a detailed analysis. I'm sure Mani, Hot_Bid, and the others will have writeups for this that are much better than I could ever imagine myself writing, so I'll leave that to them. I took a few pictures of SC2 in-game stuff, but really if I have anything to say, it's that SC2 is extremely fun to play, is still pretty fast paced considering it isn't even on fastest speed on the demo computers, looks amazing (though this might cause some slight problems imo to those that liked the simple, traditional feel of SC1), and lives up to at least my expectations thus far.

Quick, awesome points of today
- Me and x_woof_x got interviewed by some ugly asian chick who works for yahoo games. I totally lied in my interview but w/e it will just be cool to be on yahoo games. Well not really, but whatever.
- While the pro gamers were practicing in the "Pro Gamer Area", I yelled out to REACH "Park Jung Suk!!!" ::Reach turns around to look at me:: "SARANG HAE YO!!!!" (I Love You) ::Reach looks slightly confused, then lets out a shy, curious laugh and smiles at me:: (LR, I am now +1 on you).
- XellOs seemed like an asshole, but I am hoping it's just because he's an emotionless pro gaming terran machine and not because he sincerely hates all his fans
- semioldguy was generous enough to give me a copy of a XellOs 8.5x11 poster he made that I got XellOs to sign. Personally I'm not that big a fan of signatures but it was still cool to have him sign it. To be honest, getting a signature from all the players was pretty easy but I'm satisfied with just XellOs'.
- I HATE(d) sAviOr before, but after meeting him in real life, he's a very nice, cool guy. IriS, however, is the king of chill and is just an overall awesome person as well. Same goes for the CJ coach who was just delighted to see some CJ fans.
- Shouting out "3, 2, 1 [Player] FIGHTING!!!!" with TL ranks among the top with the most random, yet purely awesome things I've done in my life. We also yelled out Manifesto Fighting in the 3rd game of IriS vs sAviOr but I don't know if you guys could make it out.
- BJs dinner, for the most part, was hilarious. I'll probably leave this for HB to explain though. Happy birthday mnm!

Ok onto pictures:

PRO GAMERS (!!!!)

I just realized from the pics they spelled savior - savoir like the french verb lolz.
(When they were actually playing, not the preview screen thing.)
