Since we always find pictures around Con of hot girls, we thought it would be nice to see some hot men for a change. Alas, no one takes pictures of hot men at DragonCon, so I couldn’t pull enough to actually do anything with. Now men, I didn’t say you weren’t there, I said no one takes pictures of you!
So instead we’ll look at some MMO costumes from last year and remind everyone that we are partying Saturday night, and we will be having contests of all sorts, costumes included! So please don your favorite MMO outfit and come party with us on Saturday at the Gathering of Heroes. (And no, it does not have to be a WOW costume!
14 more days! Is everyone ready?
I think villains deserve equal press time, don’t you? So last week, Bumble gave you the good guys, this week you get the bad. I deviated from the comic book scene a bit though, there are just some costumes that need to be seen.
Probably the biggest news in the MMO world today is the release of Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty. Published by Blizzard, Starcraft was first released in 1998 after a major overhauling due to a poor showing at E3 in 1996. Blizzard made the right move, as Starcraft has sold over 11 million copies from 1998 till 2009. Now enter Startcraft II, the long awaited sequel. It again will follow the story of Terran (outcast human) Jim Raynor on his quest to survive Zergs, Protoss, and well, other Terran. If you don’t want to go the storyline route you can play any of the three races to try and dominate the galaxy. And now, for your viewing pleasure, Starcraft II: Wings of LIberty.

Probably the only video game to successfully cross the game-movie genre, but what else can you expect when you mix Milla Jovovich and zombies? It doesn’t get any better than that!
