Good evening, children! Let's all gather around Auntie Tara's arms as she tells you the tale of a far-off land - a peaceful, pungent place where elves and trolls and all manner of basement dwellers roam free from the persecution of popular society.
That place is, of course, BlizzCon, and that troll is me.
Yes, I'm back from Anaheim and eager to talk all about my BlizzCon experience during the second half of today's show. It wouldn't be a news program without news, though, and fortunately we have some of that, too. Bethesda released an incredible live action Skyrim trailer, and some video games came out this week. We're also giving away a War of the Worlds prize pack on our live show this Friday. Watch today's episode to find out how to win!

Lol Max, you are the shit my friend, and Tara id totally ask for your autograph xD
Btw, great show, not to into WoW, but the D3 info was cool, definitely looking forward to seeing what consoles they bring that too, cause i doubt ill beable to play that on my PC.
"You're back!" "I am back!"
Please stop reenacting the Final Fantasy X-2 ending.
I agree with Max. It's funny how Tara hates Pokemon but soon they'll be included in WoW and she will be indirectly playing Pokemon.
You can't escape, Tara Long!
But shame on Blizzcon-attendees for not asking for your autograph. If it was me, I would freak out and worship your feet and other body parts.
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
