WRUP: Come On, Man, It Is The '90s Every week, just at the beginning of the weekend, we meet up with the WoW Insider employees and ask them, "What are you playing this week?" -- in any other case often known as: WRUP. Be a part of us to see what we're as much as in and out of sport, and catch us in the comments to tell us what you're playing, too! Going to BlizzCon? No? Why not? It's the '90s! Everybody's going to conventions nowadays! Sure, it is in Southern California, and for many of you, that is a great distance from dwelling. However man, that is the '90s. They have planes now. And a few of these planes even have air phones. You can hook up your 14.4k modem to a type of and hook up with your favorite Warcraft 2 BBS, maybe play somewhat Legend of the Purple Dragon from 20,000 feet. Why not? It is the '90s! What's that? You say it is not the '90s -- it is 2011? Well, of course it is! I do know exactly what at present is. See this Casio digital watch on my wrist? It has the day, week, month, and 12 months on it. Everyone's bought one -- everyone, that's, who's residing in the '90s. BlizzCon, the hottest occasion of the '90s, is arising in a mere two weeks. So at this time, along with the standard question of "What are you taking part in?" (Tremendous Nintendo and Scattergories, obvi), I had our prime-notch writers (a lot of whom have Tripod pages) reply a bonus query: "What terrific advice do you could have for the go-go BlizzCon attending folks of the '90s?" Anne Stickney (@Shadesogrey) This weekend can be spent ending my entry for the global Writing Contest -- in other phrases, writing like a madwoman. As for BlizzCon -- be sure you might have plenty of water alongside, the convention hall is greater than it looks! Present up for panels early, verify the events schedule and figure out what you wish to hit upfront. Also -- comfy shoes. Significantly, you will be on your toes pretty much all day lengthy. Comfy shoes are the perfect! Allison Robert (@AllisonRobert) I'll be going to a different wedding ceremony this weekend but will otherwise be on the PTR getting notes for an upcoming Shifting on tanking and healing the three new 5-mans. Minecraft servers As for BlizzCon, I have yet to go, but when I needed to guess from previous experiences with educational conferences and the like, have just one bit of recommendation: Do not wear heels. Alex Ziebart (@AlexZiebart) (gplus.to/alexziebart) Been playing some Lifeless Island and hopefully will get a hefty quantity of co-op time in with a buddy of mine. Good coop video games are way more rare than they ought to be. For BlizzCon, take more shirts than you assume you may need. If you happen to get super-sweaty, stop into your lodge room and alter shirts. It is higher than being smelly and uncomfortable all day. Chase Hasbrouck First WRUP /yay. Continuing my feral soloing in mission in WoW (when Kuwaiti latency permits), else playing SpaceChem on Steam. All the fun of programming without the code! BlizzCon: never been, however expertise has taught me all the time to follow the three W's when touring: water, weight, and walking (comfortably). Daniel Desmond (@hazmacewillraid) I'll be doing a bit of little bit of PTR spelunking, attempting out the brand new dungeons and paladin adjustments, however principally I will be scratching a couple of more tallies into my wall with a plastic spoon, counting the times till Skyrim releases. As for BlizzCon, this will likely be my first! As such, I'll be sticking to my guildmates like black leather-based seats on a scorching summer day. Daniel Whitcomb (@DanielWhitcomb) Since my mage and warrior are on hold until the 4.Three goes dwell, I might see if I can solo me some more tier 5 for my warlock. I am additionally enjoying some Aquaria and Bastion (once more) on Steam, so I could do some extra with these video games. My recommendation? Hygiene. Particularly, double-, triple-, and quadruple-examine your travel bag. Should you miss something like a toothbrush or a shaving package, likelihood is you are going to have to pay an arm and a leg to change it. Daybreak Moore (@dawnwow) Not playing something this weekend, but I'll be watching a lot of StarCraft 2 and League of Legends at IPL3. Recommendation for BlizzCon? Hmm ... Waiting in the badge pick-up line is not needed if you do not should be the primary one into opening ceremonies. Simply decide up your badge whereas everyone is in line for the ceremonies and you'll be in and out in 5 minutes. Elizabeth Wachowski (@leeatwaterlives) I'm nonetheless on my honeymoon in NYC, however when i get again I'll in all probability begin AC: Brotherhood, since my AC2 disc is scratched and I don't suppose I can end. Fox Van Allen (@foxvanallen) (gplus.to/foxvanallen) I've been in Philly for a stable part of the week, and I'll be staying in Philly throughout the weekend hanging with my pal Chester. All kinds of fun shall be had. Like immediately, I ate Dutch food. We're a terribly boring folks, we Dutch. My BlizzCon recommendation: If you wish to grasp out with Fox, I counsel you get your request in forward of time, as a result of there are a lot of you, very few nights in stunning Southern California, and only one Fox. Additional, I advise anybody who is just not from an area with Jack in the Box eating places to go eat at a Jack within the Field restaurant. WHAT ABOUT Oh my god. Joe Perez (@Lodurzj) Extra LoL, I have a new champion to learn! Additionally more alt leveling in WoW and really wanting ahead to a different choose my adventure day Sunday; I'll in all probability begin earlier (3 p.m.) this week and go till 5. I'll even be livestreaming the adventure, so make certain to observe Twitter for the hyperlink and time! Largest BlizzCon blunder: not carrying comfortable and supportive footwear. Significantly, you stand and walk a lot that you're a idiot if you do not. Additionally, the amount of ache your toes might be in will be stunning. Also, drink / bring lots of water and attempt to eat outdoors of the convention middle. Lots of fine local places to nom things at which are a fast stroll from the convention center. Josh Myers (@Elamqt) I am liking my army of premade and main-transferred shaman on the PTR. I even have a lone mage premade who was set up with spec/glyphs/keybinds/and many others. after which promptly forgotten. I have no BlizzCon recommendation, although I caution all Wow Insider meetup attendees to keep away from eye contact with Fox. That is just widespread sense, although. (Glorious level. That is how I select my prey. -- Fox) Kelly Aarons (@Cadistra) Hoping for some high quality time with my DS, however I'm unsure, as I'll be working at my job, doing art, and it is Thanksgiving up here in Canada-land, so there's that. I'll be heading out of town Sunday night to see my family. WHAT ABOUT BlizzCon recommendation? Take the health-examine: Deliver a lot of water with you. Wear comfy shoes (with insoles if needed). Remember to stretch your lower again each hour or so! Deliver some protein-wealthy snacks with you -- natural meals bars, dry-roasted nuts (like almonds and cashews). Con food is overpriced and filled with crap, and this may keep you fuller longer. /well being nerd Mat McCurley (@gomatgo) (gplus.to/gomatgo) I'm a damaged record. League of Legends and WoW. Tips for BlizzCon: carry a bottle of water if you may, take things sluggish, wear comfortable shoes, and buy Mat McCurley drinks on the WoW Insider Reader Meetup. Matt Low (@matticus) In a change of tempo, playing on my Nintendo DS. Replaying some Last Fantasy VI! My faaaaaavourite Ultimate Fantasy series -- ever! Matt Rossi (@matthewrossi) (gplus.to/MatthewWRossi) My hand is completely screwed up now, so dangerous I do not suppose I can play a lot of something. (I am typing this one-finger, hunt-and-peck model). As for BlizzCon, I've by no means been. Matt Walsh (@Rhidach) Some Sword of the Stars with some buddies, for (probable) last recreation earlier than the sequel comes out. We'll send the outdated lady off in fashion. I am going to also be getting some critical Minecraft time in since my guild's server was down final week. Have to make up for misplaced time! This may only be my second BlizzCon, however the largest factor I picked up final 12 months is to be actually early to something you want to go to -- panels or whatever. Apart from badge pickup on Thursday night. It's open for hours and badges aren't limited in the same means seats or area is. No want to point out up early for that line; go later that evening and coast proper by to pickup. Michael Grey (@writegray) I'll be taking pictures weddings by way of most of the marriage, which is directly exciting and terrifying. I am not the professional of the workforce, so I except to spend loads of time going "Hurrr ..." The weekend is the right time to kick back, relax and get pleasure from some sport time. Are you an achievement junkie? Can't get sufficient raiding? Rolling a brand new alt? Contemplating taking the leap into roleplaying?
