[Colonelsterby]

[blackboard212]

GEEK IS me i love all things geeky

[Etrajbe]

It's so true though, gaming and all the creating stories etc is keeping the creative brain process alive, the most important one. Often school just tends to forget about it (supported by VAST studies) Except in subjects about nature like math and physics were u NEED creativity to get anywhere. Really life is a set of feelings and when u have some creativity that helps u understand the world and best of all let your imagination flow, this truly is; All true :) and deep

[aquaotter1]

I want to get a shirt that says geek pride and has pokemon, yu gi oh, super smash bros, halo, and wow on it. The games i grew up with.

[scypion11]

I will be the happiest geek on earth when D3 will be released

[QUIENFUERAJUMBIE]

[TheLampard89]

Metzen is a legend!

[AndrasDaroczi]

[TerakJK]

[borgri09]

@TerakJK DILABLO! lol

[TheAzathor]

Bitchin

[ejkddorai]

LOL derp @ 1:32

[omgusername111]

Amazing !

[tangoman111]

Hopefully nothing like this on friday. FUCK THIS WAS ANNOYING.

[SunSword]

@tangoman111 It was amazing !

[tangoman111]

@SunSword Nope. it was annoying. Time that could have been spent on announcing shit like Diab3.

[ItCameFromTheSkyBeLo]

I demand to know why Malcolm Reynolds wasn't in this slide show.... 

[Juromaru]

The only man getting applause just for drinking water.

[TheMikeBase]

ugly ginger at 9:25 watch out

[dodgeyjames]

@TheMikeBase Man he looks like a ginger Husky ^^

[thezimmione]

I love that he referenced Everquest. I never really played it but he's absolutely right. Everquest was the start and inspiration for the greatest game ever created: World of Warcraft. I'm a huge Diablo fan, maybe even bigger than I am a fan of the Warcraft series.

If any game tops World of Warcraft, it'll be the second coming of Jesus.

[MaxAtTheMax]

@thezimmione ''If any game tops World of Warcraft, it'll be the second coming of Jesus.'' LoL already topped WoW....

[thezimmione]

"Geek is--the near perfect cinematic realization of the story that started it all."

The Lord of the Rings movies were pure masterpiece.

[guitarhead212]

If I remember right this was the year Ozzy played, biggest disappointment ever. Not on Ozzy's part but on the audience. How do you not lose your mind when you have the prince of darkness playing for you...

[guitarhead212]

30 people are jocks that don't know any other games but Madden, or CoD

[rymefang]

5th word = ...anal

[AndrasDaroczi]

Katers17 at 10:00!!!!

[XxDagothUrxX]

ALLIANCE!!....... Booooooooooooooh

[thegammageek1]

Wow, being the total geek I am, even I have a life outside if wow, comic books and video games. Yet I saw this live on ppv for a blizzard party...

[Skabur123]

I love WoW and all ..but Blizzard is just ..sinking in my eyes. They milk our money. Seeing as if you have to pay to group with Battle.net friends for dungeons ..WTH!

[waterhot80]

Geek is; bein a fuckin nerd!!! Cursing every time a fat MOTHER FUCKER pwns you on Alterac Valley. GEEK IS FUCKIN PICKING YOUR FUCKIN NOSE AND EATIN IT OH YEAAH, GEEK IS JACKING OFF TO HORSE PORN OOHH HEELL YEAAAAHHHH.. But geek truely is...SHADOW BOLT CRIT!!!!

[MaxAtTheMax]

09:25 There is a troll amongst the audience, even scarier, a small afro ginger troll?!?!

[LanceOmikron]

@myRealLifeNickname

What's so bad about glorifying fun things that bring people together?

[Knobiknows]

respect must be paid, indeed! All hail Metzen!

[shaokan777]

This is just sad.

[kespec]

turns out i am not a geek :(

[longboardingVA]

1:32

[MaverickVince2020]

that audience sucks

[DarkDemonicFox]

Proud to be a geek

[myroflcopterisnice]

Few comic nerds, damn.

[Thunderwolf666]

26 people moved out of their mom's basement.

[Play3r0ne]

4:22 cameraman never seen one of those before?

[Sh4deInc]

@Play3r0ne haha dude.

[SaberAvalon]

@Play3r0ne lol That is my best friend's wife.

[saiyanson5500]

Blizz definitely has a not-so-secret favoritism toward the horde.

Love it. FOR THE HORDE!

[StormProductionzZ]

@saiyanson5500 chris does cause he voice acts thrall since warcraft 3 till today

[robbiegosling]

Did he voice Thrall? I'm sure i can hear Thrall in his voice.

[pannkakoregott]

@robbiegosling yeah :D Thrall, Nefarian, Algalon and some more characters =)

[holaholahoy]

@pannkakoregott Also Ragnaros, King Varian Wrynn, Deathbringer Saurfang and many more

[Play3r0ne]

@robbiegosling Yeah, he does pretty much all the main character voices (male obviously)

[rageagainstmachines]

Chris Metzen's voice is morphing into his voice acting personas... bahaha

[sakatis]

ugly people

[Slagomancer]

Amazing.

[Canyouseemesucker]

Geek is... my life

[jeremejazz]

g ood

[Leygoes]

What ever happened to nerd? :D

[talbond]

I am so geek

[jonferius30]

Alliance.. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OO!!!!!!

[FrenkieWilde]

He was smoking weed man, he is choking like crazy...

FTW Metzen you are the best...

[LazyJones1]

@FrenkieWilde

Dude, programmers don't smoke weed.

They do coke.

... The bottled variety.

[RBATOR1986]

@ccraig1995 Haha true mate true :)

[Ninstroyer]

Oh how I wish this was my Sunday church service instead.... -_-

[mohawkny115]

WTF is paul phoenix doing at blizzcon? 09:40

[L33TLINK]

1:31 Wow, someone hates the horde

[belovedangel1220]

Am I just the only one who thinks Metzen is sexy as hell

[NadiaNattoej]

@belovedangel1220 No, Diffinitely not xD! He is sexy as hell, has the most awesome voice, and he is made of pure awesome =3!

[carrion177]

Thumbs up if you think Chris Metzen should host Blizzcon himself next year!

[RBATOR1986]

LOL @ the kid in glasses at 1:31 not cheering for horde

Typical alliance.... XD

[dragoncircle1]

Chris Metzen ftw <3

[rastawhitelocks]

some of the geeks in the audiance are afraid to make some noise :(, they give half hearted claps. So much more energy could have been put out!!! Come on geeks don't be afraid to make noise!!!

[Sgtcrispytoast]

Geek is losing his patience for this awful last minute powerpoint.

[Hackterry]

SNK FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[LfcFarrell1892]

chris metzen = tony stark xD

[Lozian]

@LfcFarrell1892 I've been thinking that myself... It's pretty much the same guy :P

[music4meh]

What is really lame is that noone of the 300 soldiers survived.

[scgpunisher]

I was in the front row and i farted so hard i shit my pants, it was interesting cause it smelled like rotten eggs.

[JamieSomething]

Here's a thought. Everybody is wondering about the whole new Blizz MMO.

What if they teased it?

What if GEEK is the acronym?

Again. Just a thought.

WoW is for World of Warcraft.

Why can't GEEK be the new one?

Probably not. But something to think about.

[bliblablok]

Metzen: uuhm...

I LUV YO CHRIS!!!!1

Metzen: uhm.. Thank you! uuhm..

[ItCameFromTheSkyBeLo]

Resistance is NEVER Futile! :D

[Scott97169]

This has probably got to be the most retarded segment of the whole Blizzcon but people that worship this guy would sucks his balls without thinking twice. So in that instance, they loved it.

[MoT359]

lol he always randomly whips out the thrall voice

[carlodimaandal]

woulda been more epic if they showed Darth Vader's face instead of "Star Wars"

[PurpleBee1995]

Geek is : Luke Skywalker i like that one lol

[LucDoetDeTruc]

This guy makes me save Metzen the Reindeer every christmas.

[LucDoetDeTruc]

This guy makes me save Metzen the Raindeer every christmas.

[ronan32]

i loved that thundercats got the biggest cheer

[ItCameFromTheSkyBeLo]

17 people think Nerds > Geeks

[ItCameFromTheSkyBeLo]

When he says this word is "Our Word" "GEEK PLEASE!"

[ItCameFromTheSkyBeLo]

Chris Metzen is the best thing about blizzcon.

[ShammyWoWLoL]

Chris Metzen is like Tony Stark of Blizzard...

[addiekatt]

@ShammyWoWLoL lol so true, maybe thats why i like him...

[ArianBVRZ]

GEEK IS! this vid is like the story of my life :) i love how transformers was first!

[CamboRocker]

1:31

DEATHGLARE

[beth563]

Geek is watching this at work live.

[Atsidasv]

Man Chris Metzen is Blizzard !!! Chris Metzen FTW !!!

[PMeursault]

I'm surprised to see Samurai Shodown there, I love it and agree it's prob the best fighting game ever but didn't think it's that well known.

Nice slide show

[barefootwanderer]

@PMeursault doesn't that by it's very nature make it geekier ^^ the obscure, the game that requires just that little bit more. That's the geek game (to me at least)

[minuxx]

How can he thank Jackson instead of Tolkien... That's just weak

[Sh4deInc]

@minuxx He was talking about the cinematic rendition at the time.

[minuxx]

@Sh4deInc Maybe, but still twas Tolkien the one!!!! anyone who read that book needs to think the same thing.

i can't give an example better than this of who you should thank for.

[Xochipilli21]

But the origins of this trilogy is the great imagination and talent of Tolkien

[MiddleEarthMaster]

@minuxx Yeah, I was a little miffed at that too. But still, that speech was friggen epic.

[Xochipilli21]

@minuxx Absolutlely agree

[Ambar88]

By far the least amount of news ever released at a Blizzcon so far.

[MiddleEarthMaster]

GEEK IS knitting while Chris Metzen is giving a badass speech at Blizzcon.

14:43

[Sh4deInc]

@MiddleEarthMaster Nice. never noticed that!

[dudeawesome19]

Lawl, thats focus'd on my friend and her boyfriend. I was 2 seats to the right!

[SteveSigns]

@MiddleEarthMaster Geek is knowing that that is, in fact, crocheting and not knitting haha. Showed this video to the girlfriend and that was her immediate response to me pointing out the "knitter."

[YamiDragoon]

@MiddleEarthMaster lol omg, that's just.. no words XD

[countpopethe3rd]

@MiddleEarthMaster crocheting actualy

[Maloney2k6]

glad i wasnt in the audience the whole thing looked underwhelming and disappointing

[DaSmooooshers]

I'm from the UK and I love Blizzard and there games. I wanted to attend this year but I'm still a year left until I can fly alone. I love chris because he's not affraid to describe him self, in this speech I feel that it is very epic because he's making us feel that it desn't matter if your a geek in school or with games. Longs if your having fun that's what matters. Now I feel like a British posh boy, I mish drink some tea (: Chris Metzen FTW!

[stjester]

Chris Metzen is the real face of blizzard I compare him to Steve Jobs

[maximumride987]

I bet a bunch of people were like "new word! must be the new mmo!"

[Aspraz]

loved this opening xD

[Jacobreed1081]

This is OUR WORD!!!!!!!!!

[trillian421979]

One of my favorite parts from the convention! Thank you for the upload, now I can share the geekery!

[bersi4kzero]

13 people don't know what geek is.

[Jimmywinkel]

hahaha omg those slides made me smile so hard.. brings back memories ^^.. im a geek... :P

[capo1mico]

what is a geek?

[astericts]

I'm amazed that he cut Star Trek from the speech.

[astericts]

@astericts The original series I mean.

[mibsweden]

Amazing video!

[Dobi714]

Loved this speech! This started the Con off just perfect for me.

Thanks for the upload!

[diehard17]

[oOSpeX]

I'm a Geek and I'm loving it!

[GruntLogic]

:')

/cheer

[msbunglexx]

The first 2 minutes was masturbation in my mind.

[mshort1985]

that was an amazing speech. Chris Metzen is awesome. i'm already saving up for blizzcon 2011. i just had a virtual ticket this year but i wanna actually be there next year.

[LarkEnhal]

Pathetic.

[mrrrloc]

Very nice vid quality, there are some sexy hunnies in that crowd

[Keyblader001]

@mrrrloc and some nasty ass ones

[enjoiskater245]

1:33 that guy looks like hes havin fun lol

[joshxxt]

YES! you beat every other youtube channel when it comes to blizzcon 2010.

[Hairgod1234]

GEEK IS: Geek is flying out to a game convention, waiting in line for a day just to sit with a bunch of sweaty people to hear what the brand new game launch will be just to have the vice president of the company call you "All a bunch of Geeks" and liking it! :D

[ricky4lyfe]

@Hairgod1234

haha i love you

[Kryynism]

Man these neckbeards are fucking pussies.

SCREAM MOTHER FUCKERS!

[DarconAdonis]

I've never been more ashamed to say that I even used to be a fan of Blizzard.

[Ragedhard]

100% fat

[JawjaDawgs]

Thank you for sharing this. I was telling friends about it because I LOVED it so much.

[Sceysch]

Chris Metzen is on the same level as Shigeru Miyamoto and Sid Meier as the greatest game developers ever.

Just because he is sooo cool! Also, Thrall > Mario

[Gegnar]

GEEK IS!

[Knobiknows]

all hail king Metzen!

[Sporegasm]

Great recording quality but it made me want to punch Metzen in the face.

[dance4lifenow]

D 20 and Leon-O is the most explosives screams,

[Isundir]

Unsurprisingly there are a lot of narrow minded idiots that don't appreciate this video. For those of us that were lucky enough to grow up loving these images instead of just wasting our time watching sports and things like that, we instead were part of the future and what was to come, what is now the now.

[Sh4deInc]

@Isundir True, but people are allowed their own opinions. Even narrow minded ones!

[WalrusForPresident]

@Isundir

Even though you become one of the narrow minded idiot when you say watching sport is a waste of time. Just saying.

[msbunglexx]

@Isundir This is the silliest comment I've ever read. You think sitting on your butt playing a video game is better than sitting on your butt watching a sporting event? They are equivalent. You were part of the future of a GAME... not the world. You aren't shaping politics or doing anything amazing. I haven't even seen all of the video, but how immature can you be.

[mibsweden]

@msbunglexx It is about imagination and a belief that there can be a better world out there. But I am not a sports fan myself, so I cannot really say what sports gives to a person apart from entertainment.

[darkfool83]

@Isundir I watch sport :o Warcraft Arena is a sport, they have scores and all, rofl

[sneakyfly]

@Isundir

kinda narrow minded to say watching sports is a waste of time no?

[jonDDA]

@Isundir So your pursuits are more worthwhile than someone who, as you say, watches sports?

You, my friend, are narrow minded yourself.

Do what you enjoy, what YOU enjoy. Don't worry about everyone else.

[bersi4kzero]

Chris brought it to the point. Geek is wonderful!

[G1bsy]

is that @the_T at 13:54?

[username951100]

woow that really sucked 

[DuLucasH30]

ur the man uploading all this..!

[Sh4deInc]

@DuLucasH30 Thanks my friend =]

[ReplayableContent]

@Sh4deInc I can't get it to work on the online stream, thank you for uploading this.

[Sionnach00]

I loved this. Great job Chris! <33

[ultrafeeder26]

incredibly boring presentation

[MissInfidelle]

Gotta love that guy :D !
