B to the C

The big news today is of course Blizz fucking con. Kicking off about an hour ago I'm sure we're in for a few sparkling brown nuggets of info over the weekend that will be sure to have about 15 million people frothing at the mouth, I speak of course of the main thing that I'm sure is at the top of every ones mind attending blizzcon right now. CATACLYSM!! dun dun duuuun! what was a rumor over the passed few weeks has just been confirmed via live coverage from Kotaku which you can check out here. Cataclysm is of course the upcoming 2010 WOW expansion and will feature:

Level cap raised to 85
2 new races (Goblin for the horde, Worgen for alliance)
Kalimdor and Eastern kingdoms have been transformed
New race/class combos (ie. Tauren Paladins)
And much moar!

Adding to the anticipation of Blizzcon was a rumor of sorts, or "accidental slip" from the Korean version of Diablo 3 featuring the 4th unknown race. And assuming it gets confirmed over the weekend that will bring the roaster of playable classes in Diablo 3 to Witchdoctor, Barbarian, Wizard, and Monk. Huzzah!

For those attending Blizzcon (or watching the paid direct TV/Internet stream) get an exclusive WOW in game pet Grunty the Murloc marine which is pretty rad also Ozzy Osbourne will be taking main stage to headline the music portion of Blizzcon.
