BlizzCon ticket fiasco sparks fan-created game
It's extremely simple to learn how to play, and follows a classic arcade pattern. The premise is that, as a Failbot aka Blizzard employee, you arrive at work only to learn that (gasp) Blizzard forgot that the BlizzCon tickets are going on sale that day! In order to save face, you're going to have to start shooting as many down as possible. After all, there's no superior diversionary tactic.
Armed with your gun, you must do everything possible to prevent the sale of BlizzCon tickets. The more customers that get tickets, the closer you are to death.
It's actually a fun little pass-time that doesn't use much processing power at all. It's a quick play, and its inspiration came from the same refreshing, Failoc ordeal that we've all had to endure. If you sift through our live coverage yesterday, you'll notice that Belneiros wasn't the only bored player that got creative!
Stay tuned to our live blog today for news on ticket sales and our luck (or lack thereof) with acquiring some of the elusive tickets.

Maybe my computer is too fast or my fingers too slow, but the game only runs 3.5 seconds before it shows the score screen. I barely have time to reposition my hand from the mouse to the keyboard before the game ends.

and people with beta cards from Blizzcon 07 are still waiting on beta keys as well and all Blizzard gives is "oh.. you mean you didn't get them? we thought they went out". Blizzard is getting lots of things wrong right now.

In-0fricking-credible.
I finally get in, reserve the 2 tickets, get to step 3, hang on step 3. Grab a drink, come back, get a message that "availablityon items in your cart has changed."
Go back and see a message that the TICKETS ARE SOLD OUT!
