61 Things To Do At BlizzCon

Sweet honeysuckling bacon-covered deep-fried pork casseroles! BlizzCon 2009 is JUST. AROUND. THE CORNER! Ohmanohmanohmanohman. I just can't wait. Will Blizzard drop a news bomb on us? Will they announce Cataclysm? The rumored new IP? A Murloc PS3 game!? Ozzy Osbourne as a new playable character!?

This is just too much to bear. Better yet, this is too much to PIG.

Woot cant wait for this, WotLK was alright, but this one looks like it may be the end! So it will surely be entertaining.

I have a trailer and a few articles at Thirty Fold's Addicted to World of Warcraft Blog.

I wonder really though if this will be the last expansion? :P

I don't think it would be. Level is still low. let the characters come to like level 150 or 255. More expansions to come. :D
