E3, Blizzard, and Me.

 

Okay, so anyone that has been following this blog for the past few years knows that whenever E3 comes around, I’m always anxiously awaiting the Blizzard announcements. For those not in the know, E3 is the video game industry’s annual convention in L.A. Blizzard is a software company that makes, among other things, Starcraft and World of Warcraft. Each year, I await Blizzard’s announcement of Starcraft 2. Each year, I am disappointed. This year, I have given up. They win. They beat me. As the past couple years have come and gone, Blizzard has become more and more of a one-trick pony. They’ve got EVERYTHING riding on World of Warcraft. Which is great for them because there’s literally a gazillion geeks living in their basements playing WoW 24/7. Forget socializing, forget getting laid, hell, forget bathing. It’s all about WoW baby! This year’s announcements thus far? Well, let’s see. A new race for the WoW alliance side and a live-action WoW movie. wow (note the lack of capitalization on that one).

They’ve been developing Starcraft: Ghost for the past decade and have pretty much shelved it. Hmmm…didn’t see that one coming. They’ve dumped millions into the development of a game for XBox and PS2 systems. Gee, that’s great. Too bad all the new, great games are coming out for the XBox360 and PS3. Idiots.

So, if they announce Starcraft 2, I’ll probably be quietly happy. Aw hell, who am I kidding, I’ll jump up and down for joy! Then reality will set in and I’ll expect to play it in 2010 at the earliest.
