When I was at BlizzCon this weekend, a guildmate of mine related the following to me about why another guildmate was not able to attend:
"Frankly, he underestimated the nerd power of WoW players. He thought he'd be able to wait on buying the ticket, and was surprised when they sold out so quickly".
I had that same reaction when it came to the costumes that the cosplayers wore at BlizzCon. For the most part women dominated the ability to create good costumes, while guys' costumes seemed to be on the more pathetic end of the spectrum. Of course, I also suspect that most WoW players who cosplay have a larger budget than anime cosplayers.
When I came back from BlizzCon on Friday evening, I uploaded my BlizzCon 2007 photos to Flickr. Photographs from BlizzCon 2007 have taken over my Top 10 views, with my number one photograph garnering over 5,000 views in a 72 hour period.
I guess I shouldn't underestimate nerd power either.
