Please keep your clothes on at BlizzCon
Just something you should keep in mind. The folks at the BlizzCon Countdown podcast presented this clipping from the Orange Country Register, letting you know - public nudity is frowned upon at the convention. In shocking development @BlizzCon bans attending in the nude. See attached clipping from today's oc Register. pic.twitter.com/nL6471Phby - BlizzCon Countdown (@BlizzconCD) November 4, 2013 Since I like to be thorough, I went digging, and sure enough the OC Register has the original story. In addition to warning BlizzCon attendees not to emulate any Blink 182 videos (a sound policy) it also has a pretty rocking picture of a woman named Carissa Creveling dressed up as a Diablo 3 Barbarian. Carissa, I'm sincerely impressed by your costume. Especially that axe. So to sum up - don't be naked in public at BlizzCon, Carissa has a really cool Barbarian cosplay, and I'm going to be watching BlizzCon via the Virtual Ticket, so I'm going to be as naked as I want and y'all can just seethe knowing I'm free as a bird while you swelter. Teach you all for going to the party without me.
Blink-182 will bring BlizzCon to an 'epic conclusion'
Blizzard's already starting its surprises for BlizzCon, announcing that the punk rock group Blink-182 will be closing the convention on November 9th. The concert is scheduled to wrap up BlizzCon 2013, and Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime can't stop gushing about the big show: "After two days of hard work watching games and playing games and talking about games, we can't think of a better way to kick back and relax than to have your face melted by Blink-182. We're thrilled to have such an awesome band helping us bring BlizzCon to an epic conclusion." While BlizzCon is completely sold out, fans can still purchase a Virtual Ticket from the site or a Pay Per View event from DIRECTV to see Blink-182's performance.

Guitar Hero 5 and Band Hero: March DLC
Next month's Guitar Hero 5 and Band Hero DLC should satisfy would-be rockers of all types, offering an eclectic mix of -- oh, there's totally some Flogging Molly! Sorry, we just had to get that out of our system, because St. Patrick's Day is next month and because, man, Flogging Molly is totally awesome. There are four distinct track packs coming next month, featuring OK Go, Blink-182, the aforementioned Molly Floggers and an '80s track pack -- because nothing says March like a dusty old denim jacket with the sleeves cut off and some Night Ranger.
Rock Band Weekly: A killer Queen pack
We've known for quite some time that Queen DLC was to grace Rock Band Weekly. Yes, we've dubbed it the "All The Good Ones Except for Bohemian Rhapsody" Track Pack, but that doesn't make the offering any less exciting. Next week's update will have living-room bands cringe as their respective vocalists attempt with all their might to sing like Freddie Mercury. Then again, if the kids of Glee can sing "Somebody to Love" together, then maybe everyone in the band should pitch in.Check out the full Rock Band Weekly update, along with the update for Rock Band Unplugged, after the break.

WoW Moviewatch: What's My Age Again?
At what age are you supposed to grow up and start behaving yourself? For this gnome, the answer is never maturing. There are girls to chase, pranks to pull, and plenty of people to offend.What's My Age Again?, named after the Blink 182 song, won't win any prizes as a machinima. However, you can see that if Mavryc practices enough, he could be great. He went a bit wild with Model Viewer, but didn't pay enough attention to aspect ratios and chroma-keying. The fast cuts look great, though![Via Warcraftmovies.com]If you have any suggestions for WoW Moviewatch, you can mail them to us at machinima AT wowinsider DOT com.Previously on Moviewatch ...
Rock Band Weekly: Blink 182, The Monkees and Sweet
It's the last train to "Rock"sville and I'll meet you at the station. This week's Rock Band downloadable content is all about high energy songs. Although Sweet is sweet, and you should feel free to play All The Small Things while naked, the real stand-out this week is The Monkees' Last Train to Clarksville. Not only will a new generation actually learn the lyrics past the first line, but it's a really, really, fun song to play with a group of friends over. It was playable at Harmonix when we visited them in November, which gives a good idea of how on-the-ball they are with the DLC.Individual songs Action - Sweet *Cover* (160 MS points/ $2) Last Train to Clarksville - The Monkees *Cover* (160 MS points/ $2) All The Small Things - Blink 182 (160 MS Points / $2) As the inability to preview songs still causes us nightmares, we scavenged the internets and placed videos for you to make informed DLC purchasing decisions after the break.[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]
