Blood Elves, Paladins, Gnomes and Sorcerors all gathered last night for the long awaited release of World Of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King. The game hits store shelves today but the party was at GameStop last night in San Francisco. All the WOW'ers came out for face painting, dance contests, giveaways and some good old fashioned comraderie. I joined in the fun and sported my best chain mail attire- take a look!

Marines, giveaways, celebrities, music- and of course- the game. Here's a taste of how TreyArch and Gamestop throw a party.

Halo 3 Launch: Beyond your wildest dreams...

Laura — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 20:13:00 GMT

I couldn't NOT go to the launch event for Halo 3 right here in Bellevue, Washington at our nearby Best Buy. Honestly, I was overwhelmed. There were hundreds of screaming Halo fans, free stuff, food, music, and PLENTY of Gamer Fuel. On top of all that excitement I got to talk to legendary football quarterback Warren Moon, Bungie community leader Brian Jarrard, Microsoft's global marketing Maestro Jeff Bell - and the man himself Bill Gates even came out to run the register on the first copy Halo 3 sold there. Plus, I got to mess with fanboys! Good Times!

We're here in Cafe 34 on the main Redmond campus to welcome Vista and Office to the world. The room is filled with microsofties, lunches and laptops, and hundreds of balloons netted suspiciously to the ceiling. In a few minutes Windows godfather Jim Allchin will grace the stage as master of campus ceremonies for the launch. While we won't be liveblogging the event, the C9 Coffeehouse thread will be extremely busy over the next hour. We'll also be updating this post later in the afternoon with some aftermath reporting.

Virtual Earth 3D Launch Party....what people are saying

Laura — Thu, 14 Dec 2006 22:42:00 GMT

If you haven't checked out Microsoft's Virtual Earth yet, you definitely should. I swung by their offices and got a preview of it about a month ago and I was utterly impressed. In fact, I liked it so much that I headed down to San Francisco to celebrate with the team and some esteemed journalists at their launch party. While I was mixing and mingling I decided to bust out the camera and get on tape some peoples first impressions about Virtual Earth 3D. Take a look and see what other people are saying and then try it out for yourself and let me know what you think!

PS3 is launching and lines are forming! Well this I just have to see!!

The launch of a new console is an exciting event and lines means lots of people and lots of people means good times! Headlines everywhere were reporting on these huge lines of gamers forming outside electronics stores, waiting to get their hands on the first US shipment of the PlayStation 3. I decided this was the perfect opportunity to check in with my people, offer them some free food...and try to bribe them out of their spot in line with a free premium Xbox 360. Let's see just how loyal these Sony fans are...
