He sounded like he was -really- holding back his excitment, that or he was on the verge of crying.

He was probably nervous as hell, who wouldn't be in front of 40,000+. Even people who do that kind of stuff for a living can still get quite nervous before a huge speech like that, it never really goes away with experience.
The only time he looked sort of put-out to me was after the Diablo 3 cinematic, it was pretty clear the crowd didn't have as great of a reaction to it as he expected. Overall though I thought he was into it and pumped up.
The crowd gave a bigger response when he shouted "Horde!" than they did to that trailer.
I don't know about you but every time he yells to get a crowd hyped up, or talks about an expansion I get goose bumps all over, metzan is what makes blizzcon so f'king amazing
This guy could sell more Oxyclean than Billy Mays, and make you feel like a badass while using it.
"Imagine coming across a mentally disabled person who was not only drunk, high, but had a full frontal lobotomy leaving little to no intelligence left in their body.
He would be NORMAL, compared to me."
Damn he knows how to draw. Anyways, I got a mixture of nervousness, enthusiasm and apprehension. But maybe he was just a little tired.
Well. I think he was kinda unsure how to promote this expansion because of the "peaceful" atmosphere. Also I think if the situtation now is that Activision controls the shit and Metzen & other dudes cant really anymore decide what to implement ofc it does have an impact on them personally. I think atlest some of these original wow devs are just ashamed and u can really tell that from what I've seen those blizzcon videos. Most of them look like really bored/ashamed or something. I mean imagine a situation you created something from scratch and now some dollar maniac tell you what you suppose to do with your own product.
The bloke is fucking crazy, he kind of has to be he writes the wow story. But damn it he's a character and made me laugh and smile throughout. He seemed really up for it to me.
Geeked up, geeked out, he was dying to yell out geek is! That was terrible btw.
What I dirrectly thought... he seemed more buffed the previous years.
Oh well, could be me.
