We've all got our badges for BlizzCon now -- badge pickup was a little less chaotic than last year, if memory serves us correctly (though they really need to split up the "S" names -- our line was longer by three times as much as any of the others). There were lots of people waiting outside right before they opened the convention center at 4pm, but once they opened up the doors, things moved quickly. We didn't notice any recognizable Blizzard staff around, but we've heard
rumblings from vendors that they're setting up inside, and there's certainly plenty of activity going on back there.
None of the rest of the center is open until tomorrow, obviously, but we also grabbed some pictures of the art we could see posted inside. No, there aren't any big exclusive reveals, but there is a particularly nice piece of the Diablo III Witchdoctor that we hadn't seen before. Enjoy.

Every picture in that gallery has been duplicated at least three times.

Hm. I saw the headline and figured "badge pickup line" meant something about Karazhan.

That has to be darned near the most boring lot of pics I have seen.
I really hope Blizz con picks up for you.

Nah dude, the line to get a badge is supposed to be the most exciting part.

I was thinking the same thing. Can we get some more yellow teeth shots from a guy with a huge double chin or perhaps another homely plump girl with a home made sword?

Everyone put yourself on follow on the guy with the black shirt.

Do the rumbling vendors say things like "Good day to you!" or "Well met!!"

In Mike's defence;
Photos < Enjoying Blizzcon.
Geez I wouldn't even come back with photos, just a smirk on my face and a stomach full of booze & nachos!

That was underwhelming. Well what more could you expect from pictures of a 'line'
Keep it up guys. Cannot wait to see updates tomorrow!
I wanna see Mike with any Blue in a headlock!! lol

Haha. I found me in those photos. I was fortunate enough to be towards the front of the "S" line.

A little off topic but the girl in picture three has a flat @$$.
