Happy holidays from Blizzard
Finally, gnomes get top billing in a Blizzard cinematic holiday card. Now should we take this to mean that we'll finally be getting the pony Ghostcrawler promised us so long ago?
2010 game industry holiday card blowout
In the spirit of the season, we bought you a gift. Okay, okay -- maybe "bought" isn't the right word. But we did get you something! First, open this link in a new tab, then this link (also in a new tab), and then hit the play button on the second link. Isn't that warm cocoa just a little bit sweeter? Good. Now that you're more comfy, we hope you'll join us in perusing the gallery we've dropped after the break. In it, you'll find an assortment of holiday cards from across the game industry, featuring both adorable creatures and anomalous cretins (as pictured above in no particular order). We've selected some of our favorites just before the gallery, so head past the break with us, won't you?
Blizzard announces holiday card contest
Blizzard has made it a holiday tradition to release a holiday card every year (usually drawn by Samwise), but this year they're putting a little twist on it. They're running a contest asking the potential artists among you to submit your own original Blizzard-themed holiday card. Download their template, fill it up with Diablo, Starcraft, or Warcraft-related holiday art (no Lost Vikings or Rock N' Roll Racing art, apparently), submit it on the contest page before December 7th, and you can win a whole slew of prizes from Blizzard and Razer, including a mouse, keyboard, and headset, as well as a signed copy of Blizzard's 2009 holiday card from Samwise himself. So artists, get to, um, "art"-ing! We can't wait to see your rendition of Deathwing as Santa Claus, Kerrigan as the Mrs., and a whole tribe of Fallen Ones standing in for the little elves.
