Blizzard EU has a pretty sweet offer to you European players out there: If you like
cosplay (and you're good at it) you could win a chance to go to
BlizzCon for free. The official contest page states, "All you have to do is create a costume inspired by one of our game universes, pose in it, snap a photo, and send it to us!"

It will end on June 22nd, 2009. Submissions sent early (or late) will be discarded. Entries are also limited to individuals 18 or older residing in the following countries:
- France
- Belgium
- United Kingdom
- Luxembourg
- Germany
- Austria
- Sweden
- Finland
- Denmark

I laughed at the guy flashing the shocker in the background.

Anyone else stare at that picture a little longer than they should have?
Bubsa May 13th 2009 8:09PM
I'd hit it...with a stick maybe.

Only because she's wearing a tightlybound leather top squashing her junk up. Had it been any other shirt, she'd look way worse.
Not that my standards are too high for it though, I'd hit it too.

Just once I'd like to see an article/story/post like this that, instead of using an image of a hot girl in a flattering outfite, used an image of a fat guy dressed as Slyvannas.

GJ Wowinsider, taking an interest in the EU. + internets to you guys.

They do EU stuff fairly often. I can recall some of those TCG loot card giveaways being EU-only, in fact.

The third picture with the UD chick... looked good D:

Agreed, my vote goes for Undead girl. Makes me want to listen to that Rob Zombie song....

That "undead girl" did an interview about the costume here (there are some more photos of her here as well): http://conventionfans.today.com/2008/12/18/bring-out-yer-undead/
She's very cool and very nice to talk to.

I agree. The forsaken chick had the best costume by far. I also noticed that about 80-90% of the cosplayers are female, which surprised me. Then I got further in and saw the guys who were cosplaying...lol...A chick dressed as a blood elf is hot. A fat fanboy dressed as a warrior is assuring himself many lonely, sexless nights...lol

That pesky name tag just doesn't compliment her outfit. ;)

Cool contest
although I will never understand why the Netherlands is never allowed to participate? Every contest on www.wow-europe.com
from launch until this day has never allowed a dutch subscriber to participate... what is the problem?
Magma May 13th 2009 6:15PM
There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.
Zeplar May 13th 2009 6:20PM
Believe it's due to your own country's laws about such things :\
Endless May 13th 2009 6:58PM
They're damn racists. Let's sue them.
This whole EU thing was forced upon me, I voted against it. And well, since I'm in EU now, even against my will, I want to enjoy the privileges, too!
Would you believe I can't even join "Recruit-a-friend" program, or Arena tournament? I pay the same money as everyone else, I'm stuck in this god-forsaken EU, my taxes go into german football stadiums and british immigration subsidies and whatever, yet I can't enjoy the same rights. I'm effin' discriminated here!
To the hell with whole EU. I feel a strong urge to vomit whenever I see the starry flag. It's a biggest ruse ever.

Another one bites the dutch.
