I've gotten to the part where it asks for a payment method, (right after the dreaded 'enter your ticket info and we'll handily reset it for you and make you enter it again' section) and it proceeded to explode. Now I can't even log in correctly. -_-

I was fortunate enough to have a Blizzard Store account before this, but it doesn't matter because the page no longer loads for me.

True. But it's Blizzcon not WoWcon. I have been there the past two Blizzcons, and it pains me to see people there who don't even fully know or care about Blizzard as a whole.

I don't give a fuck about Warcraft, WoW, or Blizzard as a company...

Eh, at least you care about the best Blizzard game. Not to mention you're a relatively notable member of the Starcraft community.

I dunno. Maybe I just hate the WoW player mentality. The swarms of WoW players who haven't touched previous Warcraft games or other Blizzard games who attend Blizzcon annoy me greatly. I just don't get along with WoW players in general.

I went to the first Blizzcon as a Terran Marine, and the second as a Terran Ghost. Each time I was asked by SEVERAL people what I was supposed to be. There were more than 10 on each occassion who asked which 'warcraft' character I was.

blah.

=( Sadly I don't think I'll be going for a third win... Takes too much damn time, and that's something I don't really have time for in the next 3 weeks or so. I dunno if you saw my other two costumes, but they took manymany hours to constuct.

If I had to rank this thread on a scale from 1 to ridiculous. It would be ridiculous

No clay. It was red.

I won both times.

#1 Alienware computer
#2 Dell XPS laptop

Sold them both.

I'm tempted to go again, just because I want to win another computer. But like I said it's a fuckton of work.

My original plan, if I do another costume, was going to stick with Terran. However this doesn't leave me with many options. Reaper is about the only realistic option, and that'd be a harder build than the Marine was.

I've been thinking, if I do decide to go costumed again, I may do a Zergling. It'd not look right standing up, but it'd be freakishly awesome if I crouched down on my hands and ran.

I dunno. It's a lot of work. Let's wait and see what prizes they are giving out this year. =P

edit: If you have any recommendations feel free to give them. I've gone through prettymuch every standard SC and SC2 unit though, and Zergling and Reaper are about all that seem feasible... And there's no way I'm doing another build of something as hard as the Marine. (Which the Reaper would be)
