Games Got A Question For Blizzard?
Posted by Earnest "Nex" Cavalli on Thu, Oct 9, 2008 at 4:34 PM
I just landed in Anaheim, California for Blizzcon 2008, a two-day festival celebrating everything World of Warcraft, Diablo, StarCraft and people who own T-shirts emblazoned with wolves, and don't quite understand irony.
Am I telling you all this just to point out the fact that it's currently 70 degrees and sunny down here and that I'm within spitting distance of Walt Disney's great socialist experiment (aka Disneyland, aka Bobby Digital, aka These People Are All Smiling Like Idiots And Its Creeping Me The Fuck Out)?
No, I'm revealing this to you in the hopes that you'll do my job for me!
Hit the jump for details on how you can help lil' ol' Nexy.
See, I've got interviews lined up with Blizzard's most important people tomorrow: CEO and co-founder Mike Morhaime, World of Warcraft lead producer J. Allen Brack, Diablo III executive vice president of game design Rob Pardo and StarCraft 2 lead designer Dustin Browder.
Instead of offering them sexual favors for job interviews, I thought I'd let you -- the general public (aka the proletariat, aka Bobby Digital, aka the huddled masses yearning to breathe free) -- pass on any questions you might have about any of the games Blizzard is responsible for. I'll regurgitate the queries, and assuming they don't punch me in the face for being so forward, I'll return on Sunday with a Q&A chock full of delicious information for all of you.
Think of me as your Mama Bird, and you're all a bunch of cheeping, slimy, featherless baby birds. Would I ever let you starve? No! Maybe I'd let a falcon eat you, but you do not fuck with falcons. That's just common sense.
My round of interviews begins at noon tomorrow so you have from now until around 11AM to fill the comments with anything that might be stuck in your adorable little ragamuffin brains.
Now get to it, or I'm shoving you all out of the nest.

Please ask Blizzard if I can get two years of my life back.
I want to know exactly how hard they laugh when they hear about yet another eager, scrappy, ready-to-prove-itself MMO that they know--they KNOW--will, inevitably, be crushed and destroyed and annihilated within months, taking its pitiable place as yet another sacrificial lamb laid out and gutted by the never-ending WoW slaughter.
Also, just how big the piles of money are that they each sleep on every night.
All excellent questions so far.
Is the recent merger with Activision going to affect their stringent "we'll release it when it's ready, dammit" schedule for games?
Given the general clusterfuck that is non-WoW PC gaming, are they planning any titles for consoles?
Yeah, what tk. said. I'd love to know if there's any chance of Starcraft: Ghost ever seeing the light of day.
Also, I want Blackthorne to come back, dammit. You tell them I want Blackthorne to come back.
This is what i want you to ask them....are the titans going to make an appearance and/or the old gods as well?
Need Scooter Service?
We sell and repair scooters, and have a full service department specializing in Chinese brand scooters; we work on all brands of scooters, however.
