Get your ninja on!
As we all know, there are a few "restrictions" for taking videos and pictures at Blizzcon. According to Bashiok, "there's no recording or pictures allowed in any amount of the live playable demos." But do we dare to dream? Put on your invisible cloak, kill a predator or two, and steal their stuff or become a ninja! Of course, these days the only ninjas available come from the Office Ninja Corporation. So for any of our Diablofans rocking in the cubicles, get to work training!
The choice is yours, and there are even more options! What about going to Blizzcon disguised as his infernal majesty himself - Diablo! Now, who in the hell can tell Diablo to stop filming or taking pictures? Hell, that's the VIP of VIPS, right thur! What about his brothers? Surely the security guards won't mess with the Prime Evils; they play the games and they know they'll burn forever in the fiery pits of HELL! Then we've got Deckard Cain and his beloved unicorn: would anyone really argue with that? HELL NO! If anyone becomes suspicious, just ramble at them, they'll get bored after several hours of your stories. Just keep a Camera in that epic Deckard-Beard of yours.
D-fans assemble! We must steal the demo for ourselves! As well as anything and everything of value that isn't nailed to the floor, but that may take some doing. For now, we'll focus on the demo, and get to the staplers and desks tomorrow, ok?
BREAK!!!
Hope you all had much fun reading this and I wish you a happy Gamescom and Blizzcon experience!
To all of us who can't go to Blizzcon I hope there really are some ninja guys taking footage so we can watch it sometime later on the internetz

Posted Aug 14, 2010But in all seriousness, I think Blizzard has thought of every detail on how to not get the CD stolen. Chances are, nothing will happen. Also everyone will want to play the demo so bad they won't risk getting kicked out.

Posted Aug 14, 2010The restrictions, as I understand them, are based on streaming video of the panels. You can record video as you see fit, however, streaming video is restricted to five minutes or less of uninterrupted panel footage. Meaning you can stream up to five minutes of a panel before needing to cut over to something that is not panel footage. If you're really interested in this type of streaming the press room at the event will have all of the necessary information on recording restrictions to make sure you're following the rules. If you just want to record panels with your handycam to take home and maybe play for your friends or something, I don't believe there is any restriction. There's no recording or pictures allowed in any amount of the live playable demos.
