BAK

After an awesome weekend at Blizzcon 2013 AND I am now in an area with free wi-fi, I have updated my Screenshots of the Day to be current!

Blizzcon was fascinating and exhausting but had a great time wandering about, looking at the awesome statues and playing a little hearthstone! Best part I think was the voice actor's panel.

This is something interesting to note. I have done many anime based conventions and there has always been a heavy emphasis on the voice actors, since that's about as close as you can get in reality to your favorite anime/game character. So many times voice actors (both Japanese and American) who give their vocal talents to make the characters come to life are quite often the key guests in an anime convention.

But, this Blizzcon, its seventh one, was the FIRST TIME the Warcraft voice actors were brought into the spot light, and they were just as estatic about the whole thing as we are. That's kinda sad, since there are some very talented voice actors in Warcraft. But it was good to see they were so excited!
Met the voice actors of: Chen Stormstout (Keone Young), Garrosh Hellscream (Pattric Seitz), Taran Zhu (James Sei), Wrathion (Arron Phillips), Jaina Proudmore (Laura Bailey) and Anduin Wrynn ( Josh Keaton). 
And just by looking at their reactions to the fans, it seemed only two of them (Keone Young and Laura Bailey) truly had any exposure being voice actors. I just hope they enjoyed the lime light for awhile, they deserved it! :D
