                    [Summary] => 
Seriously, what’s with all these nice conventions overseas that we rarely get a taste of? BlizzCon is one of the biggest gaming and geek conventions where you can wear a tin foil hat or dress up as a Tauren and nobody will laugh at you and instead want to take pictures with you. Next to E3, BlizzCon has that clout when it comes to gaming news, which isn’t totally new considering they have the most lucrative game in World of Warcraft.

A newspaper in Beijing reported a 13-year-old boy jumped out of his family's 24th floor apartment in Tianjin, after playing the World of Warcraft at an Internet cafe for 36 hours. The parents are suing the game's licensed Chinese distributor for 100,000 yuan ($12,500) for failure to warn players of the inherent dangers of Warcraft, a game produced by an American company, Blizzard Entertainment.
