This weekend, all flight paths lead to Anaheim, where Blizzard held its fourth quasi-annual convention, Blizzcon, The two-day celebration of all things Blizzard sported not only stations loaded up with upcoming titles Diablo III and Starcraft II, but also tournaments, a live raid, panel discussions, and tons of goodies to win or buy. Oh, and they officially announced World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, the third expansion to Blizzard’s current money-printer, World of Warcraft. Pixelsocks.com’s own Katiegreen was on the ground, and provided this report.

PAX is big. PAX is really big. Big Download is reporting that the final total for PAX 2008 attendees was 58,500. Given PAX 2007 attendance was 37,000, and this year’s projected estimate was between 45,000 and 50,000, that’s a lot of nerds.

Our reporting staff now doubled, we felt empowered to cover a bit more of PAX than one person could have covered alone. A tiny bit more.
