Disneyland, where dreams come true.

Blizzard, where delusions become real.

Well Disneyland is right across the street from the convention center...


Truly, I wish they would drop arenas/esports. I still remember the BlizzCon08 I attended and Mike started talking about esports. You never heard 13k people be so quiet and tense. You could just feel the mood of the crowd change. They were all yelling and cheering and psyched up when he was talking about WotLK just a moment before but when he started talking about esports the atmosphere changed. You'd think they could notice that and realize it's not all that popular to most of the masses. People crowd around to watch the tournys at BlizzCon only because there's a lack of other things to do in that time slot.

I need to set up my own booth, where I juggle 1 ball.

I bet I would get mad attention when the tournies were being shown.

Peo, the amazing 1 ball juggler!

Nice restraint.

I knew that would come up as I was typing it, but posted it anyways, I figured I could give someone a set up.

That's me, I am a giver.
