WRUP Come On Man Its The 90s

Every week, simply at the beginning of the weekend, we catch up with the WoW Insider staff and ask them, "What are you taking part in this week?" -- in any other case often known as: WRUP. Be part of us to see what we're up to in and out of recreation, and catch us within the feedback to let us know what you're taking part in, too!

Going to BlizzCon? No? Why not? It's the '90s! Everybody's going to conventions lately!

Certain, it is in Southern California, and for many of you, that's a great distance from residence. But man, that is the '90s. They've planes now. And some of these planes even have air telephones. You can hook up your 14.4k modem to a type of and connect with your favorite Warcraft 2 BBS, perhaps play slightly Legend of the Purple Dragon from 20,000 ft. Why not? Minecraft servers Minecraft servers It's the '90s!

What's that? You say it's not the '90s -- it's 2011? Nicely, of course it is! I do know exactly what right now is. See this Casio digital watch on my wrist? It has the day, week, month, and year on it. Everyone's acquired one -- everybody, that is, who's residing in the '90s.

BlizzCon, the most well liked event of the '90s, is developing in a mere two weeks. So at the moment, in addition to the same old query of "What are you taking part in?" (Tremendous Nintendo and Scattergories, obvi), I had our high-notch writers (a lot of whom have Tripod pages) answer a bonus question: "What terrific advice do you will have for the go-go BlizzCon attending of us of the '90s?"

Anne Stickney (@Shadesogrey) This weekend shall be spent ending my entry for the worldwide Writing Contest -- in other words, writing like a madwoman.

As for BlizzCon -- be sure that you will have plenty of water along, the convention hall is larger than it appears to be like! Show up for panels early, verify the events schedule and determine what you wish to hit in advance. Also -- comfy sneakers. Seriously, you'll be on your toes just about all day long. Comfy sneakers are the most effective!

Allison Robert (@AllisonRobert) I'll be going to another marriage ceremony this weekend but will otherwise be on the PTR getting notes for an upcoming Shifting on tanking and healing the three new 5-mans.

As for BlizzCon, I've but to go, but if I needed to guess from previous experiences with tutorial conferences and the like, have only one bit of recommendation: Don't put on heels.

Alex Ziebart (@AlexZiebart) (gplus.to/alexziebart) Been enjoying some Useless Island and hopefully will get a hefty amount of co-op time in with a buddy of mine. Good coop games are way more uncommon than they should be.

For BlizzCon, take more shirts than you assume you will need. If you get super-sweaty, cease into your lodge room and change shirts. It's higher than being smelly and uncomfortable all day.

Chase Hasbrouck First WRUP /yay. Continuing my feral soloing in venture in WoW (when Kuwaiti latency permits), else playing SpaceChem on Steam. All of the fun of programming with out the code!

BlizzCon: by no means been, however expertise has taught me always to comply with the three W's when touring: water, weight, and walking (comfortably).

Daniel Desmond (@hazmacewillraid) I will be doing a little bit bit of PTR spelunking, trying out the brand new dungeons and paladin changes, but mostly I'll be scratching just a few extra tallies into my wall with a plastic spoon, counting the days till Skyrim releases.

As for BlizzCon, this shall be my first! As such, I will be sticking to my guildmates like black leather-based seats on a scorching summer day.

Daniel Whitcomb (@DanielWhitcomb) Since my mage and warrior are on hold till the 4.Three goes live, I might see if I can solo me some extra tier 5 for my warlock. I'm also taking part in some Aquaria and Bastion (once more) on Steam, so I might do some more with these video games.

My recommendation? Hygiene. Specifically, double-, triple-, and quadruple-test your travel bag. In case you miss one thing like a toothbrush or a shaving kit, likelihood is you will should pay an arm and a leg to substitute it.

Dawn Moore (@dawnwow) Not playing anything this weekend, but I will be watching lots of StarCraft 2 and League of Legends at IPL3.

Recommendation for BlizzCon? Hmm ... Ready within the badge pick-up line isn't necessary if you don't should be the primary one into opening ceremonies. Simply choose up your badge while everyone seems to be in line for the ceremonies and you will be in and out in 5 minutes.

Elizabeth Wachowski (@leeatwaterlives) I am still on my honeymoon in NYC, however once i get back I will probably start AC: Brotherhood, since my AC2 disc is scratched and I do not suppose I can finish.

Fox Van Allen (@foxvanallen) (gplus.to/foxvanallen) I've been in Philly for a strong part of the week, and I'll be staying in Philly throughout the weekend hanging with my good friend Chester. All sorts of enjoyable might be had. Like in the present day, I ate Dutch meals. Minecraft servers We're a terribly boring individuals, we Dutch.

My BlizzCon recommendation: If you want to cling out with Fox, I suggest you get your request in ahead of time, as a result of there are many of you, only a few nights in stunning Southern California, and only one Fox. Additional, I counsel anyone who shouldn't be from an area with Jack in the Box restaurants to go eat at a Jack within the Box restaurant. Oh my god.

Joe Perez (@Lodurzj) More LoL, I have a new champion to study! Additionally more alt leveling in WoW and really trying ahead to a different select my adventure day Sunday; I'll in all probability begin earlier (3 p.m.) this week and go until 5. I am going to even be livestreaming the journey, so ensure to observe Twitter for the hyperlink and time!

Largest BlizzCon blunder: not carrying comfortable and supportive shoes. Significantly, you stand and stroll so much that you're a idiot if you do not. Also, the amount of pain your feet might be in might be stunning. Additionally, drink / bring a lot of water and attempt to eat outside of the convention heart. Lots of fine native places to nom issues at which can be a quick walk from the convention center.

Josh Myers (@Elamqt) I am liking my army of premade and foremost-transferred shaman on the PTR. I even have a lone mage premade who was arrange with spec/glyphs/keybinds/and many others. after which promptly forgotten.

I have no BlizzCon recommendation, although I warning all Wow Insider meetup attendees to keep away from eye contact with Fox. That's simply common sense, although.

(Wonderful level. That is how I select my prey. -- Fox)

Kelly Aarons (@Cadistra) Hoping for some quality time with my DS, but I'm unsure, as I'll be working at my job, doing art, and it's Thanksgiving up here in Canada-land, so there's that. I will be heading out of city Sunday evening to see my family.

BlizzCon recommendation? Take the well being-examine:

Carry a number of water with you.

Wear comfy footwear (with insoles if mandatory). Remember to stretch your lower again every hour or so!

Deliver some protein-rich snacks with you -- pure food bars, dry-roasted nuts (like almonds and cashews). Con food is overpriced and filled with crap, and this may keep you fuller longer. /health nerd

Mat McCurley (@gomatgo) (gplus.to/gomatgo) I am a broken report. League of Legends and WoW.

Ideas for BlizzCon: bring a bottle of water if you may, take issues sluggish, put on snug footwear, and purchase Mat McCurley drinks at the WoW Insider Reader Meetup.

Matt Low (@matticus) In a change of pace, taking part in on my Nintendo DS. Replaying some Final Fantasy VI! My faaaaaavourite Closing Fantasy sequence -- ever!

Matt Rossi (@matthewrossi) (gplus.to/MatthewWRossi) My hand is completely screwed up now, so dangerous I do not assume I can play much of something. (I am typing this one-finger, hunt-and-peck fashion).

As for BlizzCon, I've never been.

Matt Walsh (@Rhidach) Some Sword of the Stars with some buddies, for (probable) last game before the sequel comes out. We'll send the previous girl off in type. I will also be getting some severe Minecraft time in since my guild's server was down last week. Must make up for lost time!

This will solely be my second BlizzCon, but the largest thing I picked up last yr is to be actually early to something you wish to go to -- panels or no matter. Apart from badge pickup on Thursday night. It's open for hours and badges aren't limited in the identical approach seats or area is. No want to indicate up early for that line; go later that evening and coast right via to pickup.

Michael Gray (@writegray) I will be capturing weddings by way of most of the wedding, which is without delay thrilling and terrifying. I am not the pro of the staff, so I besides to spend a whole lot of time going "Hurrr ..." The weekend is the right time to kick back, chill out and get pleasure from some recreation time. Are you an achievement junkie? Cannot get enough raiding? Rolling a brand new alt? Considering taking the leap into roleplaying? Whatever your favourite way to play World of Warcraft, tell us within the comments what you're taking part in this weekend!
