                    [Title] => BlizzCon: Geek Heaven
                    [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.
