Everybody's going to conventions lately! Positive, it's in Southern California, and for lots of you, that is a long way from dwelling. But man, that is the '90s. They have planes now. And a few of these planes even have air phones. You may hook up your 14.4k modem to a kind of and hook up with your favorite Warcraft 2 BBS, possibly play just a little Legend of the Red Dragon from 20,000 toes. arkadne-igre.net not? It's the '90s! What's that? You say it's not the '90s -- it is 2011? Properly, of course it's! I do know exactly what immediately is. See this Casio digital watch on my wrist? It has the day, week, month, and yr on it. Everyone's acquired one -- everybody, that's, who's living within the '90s. BlizzCon, the most well liked event of the '90s, is developing in a mere two weeks. So right now, in addition to the standard query of What are you enjoying? (Tremendous Nintendo and Scattergories, obvi), I had our top-notch writers (many of whom have Tripod pages) answer a bonus question: What terrific advice do you may have for the go-go BlizzCon attending folks of the '90s? Anne Stickney (@Shadesogrey) This weekend can be spent finishing my entry for the global Writing Contest -- in other phrases, writing like a madwoman. As for BlizzCon -- be sure that you've plenty of water along, the convention corridor is bigger than it looks! Present up for panels early, check the events schedule and figure out what you want to hit prematurely. Additionally -- comfy sneakers. Significantly, you will be in your ft just about all day long. Comfy footwear are one of the best! Allison Robert (@AllisonRobert) I will be going to another wedding ceremony this weekend however will in any other case be on the PTR getting notes for an upcoming Shifting on tanking and healing the three new 5-mans. As for BlizzCon, I have yet to go, but if I had to guess from previous experiences with academic conferences and the like, have only one bit of recommendation: Don't wear heels. Alex Ziebart (@AlexZiebart) (gplus.to/alexziebart) Been taking part in some Useless Island and hopefully will get a hefty amount of co-op time in with a buddy of mine. Good coop games are far more uncommon than they ought to be. For BlizzCon, take more shirts than you think you'll need. When you get tremendous-sweaty, cease into your resort room and alter shirts. It is better than being smelly and uncomfortable all day. Chase Hasbrouck First WRUP /yay. Continuing my feral soloing in venture in WoW (when Kuwaiti latency permits), else playing SpaceChem on Steam. All of the enjoyable of programming without the code! BlizzCon: by no means been, but experience has taught me all the time to comply with the three W's when traveling: water, weight, and walking (comfortably). Daniel Desmond (@hazmacewillraid) I will be doing somewhat bit of PTR spelunking, making an attempt out the new dungeons and paladin adjustments, but largely I will be scratching a couple of extra tallies into my wall with a plastic spoon, counting the times till Skyrim releases. As for BlizzCon, this shall be my first! As such, I'll be sticking to my guildmates like black leather-based seats on a sizzling summer season day. Daniel Whitcomb (@DanielWhitcomb) Since my mage and warrior are on hold until the 4.Three goes stay, I may see if I can solo me some extra tier 5 for my warlock. I am additionally playing some Aquaria and Bastion (again) on Steam, so I might do some more with these video games. My recommendation? Hygiene. Namely, double-, triple-, and quadruple-examine your journey bag. Should you miss something like a toothbrush or a shaving kit, chances are high you'll need to pay an arm and a leg to exchange it. Dawn Moore (@dawnwow) Not taking part in anything this weekend, however I will be watching lots of StarCraft 2 and League of Legends at IPL3. Recommendation for BlizzCon? Hmm ... Waiting within the badge pick-up line is not mandatory if you don't must be the primary one into opening ceremonies. Simply pick up your badge while everyone seems to be in line for the ceremonies and you will be in and out in 5 minutes. Elizabeth Wachowski (@leeatwaterlives) I am still on my honeymoon in NYC, however when i get back I will probably start AC: Brotherhood, since my AC2 disc is scratched and I don't think I can end. Fox Van Allen (@foxvanallen) (gplus.to/foxvanallen) I've been in Philly for a solid part of the week, and I'll be staying in Philly all through the weekend hanging with my buddy Chester. All sorts of enjoyable can be had. Like today, I ate Dutch meals. We're a terribly boring individuals, we Dutch. My BlizzCon advice: If you want to cling out with Fox, I suggest you get your request in forward of time, because there are many of you, only a few nights in beautiful Southern California, and only one Fox. Additional, I counsel anyone who shouldn't be from an area with Jack in the Field restaurants to go eat at a Jack in the Box restaurant. Oh my god. Joe Perez (@Lodurzj) More LoL, I've a new champion to be taught! Additionally more alt leveling in WoW and actually looking ahead to another select my adventure day Sunday; I will probably begin earlier (3 p.m.) this week and go until 5. I'll even be livestreaming the adventure, so make sure to look at Twitter for the hyperlink and time! Largest BlizzCon blunder: not carrying comfortable and supportive footwear. Critically, you stand and stroll so much that you are a idiot if you do not. Also, the amount of ache your ft will probably be in will probably be stunning. Also, drink / convey lots of water and attempt to eat outside of the convention heart. Lots of good native places to nom issues at that are a quick stroll from the convention heart. Josh Myers (@Elamqt) I am liking my military of premade and predominant-transferred shaman on the PTR. I also have a lone mage premade who was set up with spec/glyphs/keybinds/etc. and then promptly forgotten. I haven't any BlizzCon advice, although I caution all Wow Insider meetup attendees to avoid eye contact with Fox. That is just frequent sense, although. (Wonderful point. This is how I choose my prey. -- Fox) Kelly Aarons (@Cadistra) Hoping for some high quality time with my DS, however I'm unsure, as I'll be working at my job, doing artwork, and it is Thanksgiving up right here in Canada-land, so there's that. I will be heading out of city Sunday night time to see my family. BlizzCon recommendation? Take the health-check: Convey plenty of water with you. Wear comfy shoes (with insoles if vital). Remember to stretch your lower back every hour or so! Deliver some protein-wealthy snacks with you -- natural food bars, dry-roasted nuts (like almonds and cashews). Con meals is overpriced and full of crap, and it will keep you fuller longer. /well being nerd Mat McCurley (@gomatgo) (gplus.to/gomatgo) I'm a damaged file. League of Legends and WoW. Tips for BlizzCon: bring a bottle of water if you'll be able to, take things slow, put on comfy sneakers, and purchase Mat McCurley drinks at the WoW Insider Reader Meetup. Matt Low (@matticus) In a change of tempo, taking part in on my Nintendo DS. Replaying some Closing Fantasy VI! My faaaaaavourite Remaining Fantasy collection -- ever! Matt Rossi (@matthewrossi) (gplus.to/MatthewWRossi) My hand is totally screwed up now, so bad I do not think I can play much of something. (I am typing this one-finger, hunt-and-peck type). As for BlizzCon, I've never been. Matt Walsh (@Rhidach) Some Sword of the Stars with some buddies, for (possible) final sport earlier than the sequel comes out. We'll send the old girl off in style. I am going to even be getting some severe Minecraft time in since my guild's server was down final week. Need to make up for misplaced time! It will solely be my second BlizzCon, however the largest thing I picked up last yr is to be actually early to anything you want to go to -- panels or no matter. Apart from badge pickup on Thursday night time. It is open for hours and badges aren't restricted in the identical method seats or house is. No want to show up early for that line; go later that night time and coast right through to pickup. Michael Grey (@writegray) I'll be capturing weddings via most of the wedding, which is directly thrilling and terrifying. I'm not the pro of the crew, so I besides to spend a number of time going Hurrr ... The weekend is the proper time to kick again, loosen up and enjoy some game time. Are you an achievement junkie?
