So I got to go to Blizzard Inc.

**Ksandra** · 2012-08-28 19:50

Figured I'd show you guys some sweet pics.

In their courtyard

This really doesn't do justice on how big these are, but fuck you Blizz, I want one ;_;

If you've been to Blizzcon you would have seen these:

Some things in their museum:

Apparently they have these digital boards in random places that show dots of where people are currently playing WoW (somehow there was a dot in the ocean, and wtf is wrong with Australia...slackers):

lol

CHECK OUT THESE AMAZING GRAPHICS:

Illustrations from their employees:

We didn't take a picture but there was someone in the company parking lot with the license plate that said "50DKP"

Also, the library (dunno how we didn't end up taking pics of this) was chalk full of ever D&D book imaginable. Plus art/graphic books, scifi/fantasy books, and a huge section of old ass video games that probably don't even work anymore. They had 7th Guest and the Baldur's Gate games. Had a good laugh as even FFXI found its way into their collection.

Definitely was a lot of fun!

[edit] forgot one. Mural they have in the cafeteria:

that tyrael statue is fucking sick

**-Zer0-** · 2012-08-28 22:43

Did you get to hang out with anyone? Was hanging out with Daniel Chavez and Mathias Verhasselt a week ago here in SF.

**Ksandra** · 2012-08-28 22:45

Just the friend giving us the tour. Got to meet some of the cowokers too. Was funny 'cause everyone had two monitors: one for working, and one for gaming lmao. For the most part they were playing wow, but we saw someone playing minecraft.

You should have stole that Tyrael. Find a goddamn way.

**Salodin** · 2012-08-29 09:30

Was this a private tour, or do they run tours of their museum and stuff? If they don't they really need to lol

Private tour. I dunno if they run tours, but they should. There were wall posters all over the place, too.

And what was odd there were three computers in the lobby with WoW loaded. Oo Guess if someone is on break and wants to log in and check sales? idk lol

**Nephlite** · 2012-08-29 20:32

Very very awesome. It looks exactly like I would imagine any developers office should look. I wonder if smaller companies or lesser known entities are able to have such a cool ass set up for their offices?

**Lucavi** · 2012-08-30 10:15

I thought you were married? Who are you sleeping around with to get a private tour?

**Mortilox** · 2012-08-30 13:18

Very awesome, so jelly.

This. How did you get to go on the tour and what would I need to do?

**Roranora** · 2012-08-30 13:53

you need to be a hot momma and have a cute+cuddly Garfield avatar and occasionally argue on the tubes as a hobby

apparently the patriots aren't overly detrimental either

Spoiler: show

**Ksandra** · 2012-08-30 13:59

CS knows what's up

Spoiler: show

**Roranora** · 2012-08-30 14:02

whoa @ that tarutaru set/thingie ;o

i also spy some nip on the creeper pic. well done

**BaneTheBrawler** · 2012-08-30 16:59

That "creepy thing" is definitely related to the Abominations from Warcraft. Maybe a home-made model, or early work up or something? Too many similarities to NOT be related, though.

Cool stuff, guys. I don't think there's any major game companies with offices in the Twin Cities area, but if anyone knows of one let me know, I'll look into popping in for a tour or something, share some pics.

Was there a few month ago. The Tyreal statue has to be seen to be believed...gravity defying sick

ya I still have no fucking idea how that thing is standing up. You can't see it in the pic, but for those wondering his whole body is floating. It's those tubes of his wings that are holding him up. Picture can't show it, but they light up, too.

They made it for halloween iirc, and decided to keep it.
