Official BlizzCon schedule announced

Blizzard has finally announced an official schedule of events for BlizzCon, happening this Friday and Saturday. It's a bit different from the leaked schedule we'd seen, so if you're curious about what's going to be happening on the show floor, be sure to check it out! But if you can't make it as far as clicking that link, here are the highlights:

• StarCraft II open gaming from 9:00 AM - 10:00 PM Friday and 10:00 AM - 10:00 PM Saturday

• World of Warcraft open gaming from 11:30 AM - 10:00 PM on Friday and 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM on Saturday

• Interesting panels, covering the expanded universe, WoW classes, WoW dungeons & raids, sound & music, careers in gaming, WoW UI and mods, WoW professions & items, cinematics, WoW PvP, StarCraft art, StarCraft lore, WoW lore & quests, and the WoW TCG.

• Legendary Pictures has a time slot -- perhaps we'll get a first glance at the upcoming movie?

In addition to the official schedule, we also have word from Oxhorn that there will be a machinima booth in the exhibit area featuring all of your favorite machinima makers at various times throughout the day. So if you're wanting to meet anyone in particular, check their schedule!
