BlizCon 2011 – KidReport
Posted on November 1st, 2011 by
Just a few short weeks ago, we sent our kid reporter on the scene (well, teenager now) to make his annual pilgrimage to BlizzCon (with his mom, of course). Here’s what he thought of the action…
On October 21-22, 2011, Anaheim, California was flooded with Blizzard fanatics from around the world, there to see Blizzard’s world renowned convention: BlizzCon! Every year thousands of people around the globe gather in the Anaheim Convention Center for a sneak peak at what Blizzard is engaged in at the time, complete with panels, demos, and free stuff. I was among the crowd, weaving my way through the masses, toward the convention center, speculating about the new World of Warcraft expansion that I had heard nothing about yet.

When I was a little kid back in the 80’s, going to an arcade was a family event. My mom would hop on over to the Frogger machine, and I could be found over by Pac-Man of course. But my dad’s favorite was Centipede, and he’d always make a beeline for it (pun intended). Now a new generation of gamers can blast hordes of bugs with Centipede: Infestation for Wii and 3DS (Wii version reviewed here).
