| Blizzard Takes a Look at the Last 20 Years in Gaming
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news...Years-of-Games
There's a video if you follow the link, looking back at the history of Blizzard as a company.
I don't know about you, but Blizzard is one of the reasons I became a PC gamer, thanks to Warcraft, and Diabo but even more so... Starcraft. The first strategy game I ever really got hooked on.
Any other Blizzard favorites out there?

I love every single Blizzard game out there. Except Warcraft I, II, and III, I never got into them, but it's only because I never got the chance to play it much.

Metzen! I remember reading his signature off the drawings of my old old old starcraft manual back in the days when I was a kid.

I've religiously played all these Blizzard games: SC:BW, WC2, WC3, Diablo, Diablo II, SC2
Looking forward to Diablo 3 and also I've yet to go to a Blizzcon. =/

Played every single Blizzard release to date religiously. Including WoW. Fuck. That was a blackhole in my life. But SC2 is something I didn't get hooked on. After finishing the campaign I put the shiny box away.

Starcraft is the one reason why my grades in high school sucked. But every minute of it was worth it. Played starcraft up until I got the beta key for sc2. lol

I've been hooked on Warcraft II, Starcraft and World of Warcraft. I haven't tried Starcraft II for fear that it will ruin my life. Hated Diablo.

Warcraft II is what got me onto RTS games (That and Command & Conquer), played many games via modem against buddies.
Never really got into Diablo.
Loved SC2 but got into it years late because my PC at the time couldn't handle it.
Played WC3 quite a bit.
Never played WoW, Hate how it's like crack to some people.
I got SC2, got about 80% through and I kind of just stopped. I dunno why, I just kind of lost interest.
I'm not really into online gaming, so I never really got into battle.net either.
