This news is a couple months old, but it’s new news to me so I figured I’d share. In one of the most off-hand ways imaginable BlizzCon has announced the canceling of BlizzCon 2012.

I’m at home, but at BlizzCon at the same time. Go Virtual Ticket! Oh, look, World of Warcraft expansion panels. Shiny…

The 2011 BlizzCon is October 21-22. And we’ve got a Virtual Ticket to Blizzard’s video game fest.

The Foo Fighters will be headlining the closing concert at BlizzCon 2011.

Couldn’t get a ticket to this year’s BlizzCon in Anehiem? Me either. But we’re not totally out of luck. Each year Blizzard sells Virtual Tickets to their fan event.
