Blizzcon 2010 is over, Cho'gall 25 Video, Live Raid, Art Gallery, Blizzcon Pictures

A) Cho'gall is a normal boss, LK normal was also killed within a day or so.
B) Many guilds have worked hours to get the incoming damage stable. Much of Cho'galls incoming damage is avoidable, meaning that once the raid knows how to step out of everything bad, damage won't be a wiping factor. Stupid people standing in stuff (think Defile) will wipe you.

Whilst i agree 100%... who's to say they didn't wipe tons before hand?

There could be a mechanic we are missing.

(I havn't been able to watch the video properly... i'm at work )

My girl looks way better but ofcourse thats to be expected that i say that

Of course your girl looks better, imaginary ones always do. Maybe they like the toon they dressed up as. Ever think of that?

My favorite are the two female trolls in regular clothes. That's awesome. Thumbs up!

For me I think it's great people out there have enough confidence to wear what they like and not care what people think of them, we need more of that, today people are made to feel so insecure about their bodies cause it doesn't match up to what "society" thinks it should.

So thanks guys for having the courrage to actually go do something fun and enjoy doing it! Live and let live.

Not entirely true.

There were many people that dressed up in good costumes that required you to WEAR CLOTHES.

We are complaining about the women that wore JUST a thong and a bra and then claim to be a "Blood Elf", who have average bodies.

If they were larger women wearing the bra and panties, then i would be all for it... not because im a chubby chaser but for the exact reason you said about being comfortable in your own skin.

These were extremely "average" people who feel they are extremely "hot" and therefore try to show off and flaunt their bodies in just underwear.

Don't think we are saying "FAT PEOPLE SHOULDNT GET NAKED ON STAGE, EW GROSS", because we arn't.

It's the average looking emo-gaming-sluts that we are talking about.

Just what Paragon needed...to have their already inflated egos stroked by Blizzard.

A red thong and bra doesnt constitute as a Character in my book. - Leave that to the MODELS hired by Blizzard instead.

One on the right=HAWT!

Felt sorry for the member of that raid who kept having to deal with windows media player popping up over his screen.

There was another alextrasza there and she looked much better... No, I'm not talking about the costume, of course....

Really?

I thought Blizzard banned her account for "breaking intellectual property" in the form of World of Whorecraft?

(For people that don't know - Mia Rose is a porn star who plays WoW)

-EDIT-

After closer inspection, that isn't Mia Rose.

Id rather not open that at work...

If it IS her, then she has put on some weight.

-EDIT-

Just checked on my phone... you are indeed correct.

She certainly has put on some weight (i know its the Nelf Chick, not the one on the right...).

Strange though, i would have thought she wouldn't have been allowed to attend.

Maybe Metzen dressed as Thrall and they had a "showdown" backstage?

No mention of Tenacious D?!

Second set of costume pictures third Picture. Is that Pornstar Mia Rose(who was made "famous" for her run on the Porn Paradoy of Warcraft called Whorecraft.)? I'm like 95% sure that is in fact her.

I agree they shouldn't be wearing that stuff just to get attention, it isn't tasteful.. but it's because you would be embarrassed? Really? You are embarrassed by average looking female bodies... hmm.. should they wear less more often then, to get used to such an embarrassing sight?

They feel the need to show off their body (even when its nothing special - just normal [read: not fat]) and sleep with everyone, because that is the only way they get any attention.

Don't you think most of addict gamers are like that? I don't mind some random short term relations. And if my partner like wow or works in global positioning researching or development industry, we have something to talk about besides movies, books and war in Afghanistan.
And showing body to get attention, to receive that little chunk of social satisfaction and possible sex, looks like a decent tactics. I'm not sure there you from, but here, in Europe, we define sluts as persons, who agree to have sex for money, not attention.

Wow, they didn't do anything during Blizzcon, the problems we're having on live realms weren't done anything to, not a single thing.
Did they even mention PvP, no they didn't, they only mentioned raids and how much trouble they had drawing a dragon for the login-screen, big deal.

That's solely because things were done right. If you mess up at any point earlier, then there's a massive snowballing effect and your raid will die well before the boss dies. It's also normal mode, which is tuned for PUGs and the likes, but still there's no-one else who has killed it so far.
