It’s been announced that this year’s BlizzCon will be held in Anaheim California on Friday October 22nd and Saturday October 23rd 2010. BlizzCon is not only a gaming convention, it’s a gaming convention held by the company that makes one of the top selling game series ever, Call of Duty.
Also, Activision/Blizzard of course make other landmark titles like Warcraft, StarCraft, and Diablo universe games. These three massivly multiplayer games have killed millions of hours of peoples time and BlizzConn is a time for all the gaming geeks like me to get together and have a blast IRL.
Some things to look forward to at BlizzCon are:

- A forum with Blizzard Developers
- Both cut throat and friendly tournaments to show your skills
- contests and prizes
- special commemorative gear
- and more that Blizzard will announce in the months to come
