Convention Fans

One of the conventions I am dying to attend is BlizzCon, which is the official convention for all things Blizzard (World of Warcraft, Diablo, Starcraft). I definitely won’t be going this year (unless I win the lottery), but fortunately YouTube has a ton of great videos from BlizzCons of years past.

The first video is from BlizzCon 2007. It features an interview with the infamous “Leeroy Jenkins.” He talks with Epileptic Gaming’s djWHEAT all about World of Warcraft, Starcraft, and what’s going on in “Leeroy’s” life. The video is about 7 and a half minutes long.

The second video is also from Epileptic Gaming’s 2007 BlizzCon coverage. It includes some video clips of the “Sound Alike” Contest and the “Dance” Contest. All of these contests are now staples of conventions with any sort of World of Warcraft or MMORPG programming. Not everyone can make it out to BlizzCon in California, so conventions like Dragon*con (for example) have started adding some MMO (and specifically Warcraft) programming and events - which seem to get exponentially more popular each year.

The next video is from BlizzCon 2008. It features Join Railvas, from WoW Radio’s (wcradio.com) WarCraft Anonymous, interviewing gamers on the convention floor.  I like these montage videos that show a lot of the convention, from the vendor rooms, to the corridors, the people milling about and lining up. It gives you a sense of just how massive these cons are. The video is just over 7 minutes.

Finally, here’s another video from BlizzCon 2008, featuring the boys of WoW Radio, goofing around in their hotel room. To be honest, sometimes the best convention moments are spent with your friends, hanging out in the hotel. Just a warning, there’s a bit of language in this one (might not be work safe), along with some camera thrusting (definitely not work safe).
