Good evening, you are listening to Three Moves Ahead, and I'm your host, Rob Zakeney. Joining me tonight are two of our old friends. First, we welcome freelance writer, Fraser Brown. Fraser, welcome to the show. Thank you very much for having me. And we also welcome PC gamers, T.J. Hafer. How's it going? Going pretty well. You know, I'm riding pretty high on my recent trip to BlizzCon.

As am I?

And as is Fraser.

Jealous.

Yeah, you know, honestly.

I enjoyed watching it.

Yeah, you really should have been there, man.

It was the best.

Now, honestly, though, I will say, before we get into our main topic which is going to be

blizzcon related just something about you know every conference has its own vibe

and you slowly start to tune into the different flavors of video game conference and I got

to be honest I really liked I really enjoyed just how laid back BlizzCon felt.

Like, Blizzard as a studio doesn't really have that much to prove.

Like, you know, things are going to be fine for Blizzard one way or the other.

They can be better or worse, but they're going to be fine.

But the cool thing is, like, they do have such a history at this point the people at this conference are

connected to blizzard in a way that even in these general like community like even in something

like packs which is sort of community based people like even there like people aren't as

connected to packs in the packs community nearly as much as the people i encountered at blizzcon are like intimately connected to Pax and the Pax community, nearly as much as the people I encountered at

Bliscon are like intimately connected to the history of this company and these games.

It's 20 years of history.

It's huge.
