In this special Worldwide Invitational wrap-up edition of BlizzCast, we briefly recap some of the events at the recent WWI in Paris, and then move straight into a discussion with Diablo III Lead Designer Jay Wilson. We quiz him on how the development team is evolving the classic series -- and then dive into a discussion of some recent hot issues surrounding the upcoming sequel.

Giving away 3 BlizzCon 2008 Badges

Posted August 20th, 2008 at 9:16:16 PM CDT by matt - 12 As a side-contest to our main one that started on Monday, we want to hear from all of the diehard fans out there who went through great lengths to get a BlizzCon ticket but failed up to this point.

Non-refundable hotel reservations and plane tickets booked and no way into the show? Spent the entire Monday wearing down your F5 button into a fine paste and went home empty-handed? Anything goes. Make us feel sorry for you and the effort you invested and maybe you'll be rewarded with entry into the BlizzCon 2008 event.

Blizzard has graciously given us the opportunity to give 3 tickets away (value $100 each).

This contest is now closed, winners will be announced soon.

Deadline is Saturday August 23rd, 2008 @ 12:00PM CST.

* Travel/lodging is not included with this contest, winners will need to find their own way there.
