I'm sure everything is on the computer and it's probably just a matter of typing in whatever logo they need...

Watch the video Amy...
Though I have a feeling Blizzard created the actual video since most of that stuff wasn't released yet and still under lock and key.

Got me, I only watched the first little bit ~ I think I've mentioned I have a pretty short attention span. I saw six minutes and...

Anyhow, still guessing it is all computer driven, and the show was mostly just on the screens so it's not too hard to fit stuff in. I've never played any of their games so the characters are lost on me

Yeah, think of them like the Disney of computer games and those are their big franchises. They actually do midnight releases at a store near-ish DLR and hold their convention across the street.

Ahhh, nice relationship between the two then. I bet it costs them a small fortune to rent out CA for an event though!

Several years ago there were figures on renting out DL and if you are as big a company as they are it actually is quite reasonable as a venue for a holiday party. I remember that they charged something in the area of 10k if you wanted a fantasmic showing for your event but a second showing would be less as the fire marshal and all the crew would still be there from your first showing.

I am surprised they are still packed after yesterday, just a few years ago I recall it used to be a good time to go because it was so dead.
Also, didn't notice they used the original version of the starbucks logo where she is topless and spredding her... I guess fish legs. So naughty.
This week the cannon is filled with ham, just ham.

Wow ~ that was some fog! I'm not surprised they are busy the rest of the week. I think a lot of people probably took extra vacation days with the holiday being on a Tuesday. Might as well go for a few extra days

That was last year's fog, it was clear this year but colder than Goofy's heart. Just for that you too get...

Ah shoot ~ I even (sort of) read this update before I posted. Guess I haven't got that 2013 date-stamped into my head just yet

Thanks for the ham ~ I think I'll have a sandwich

Apparently, I got this yesterday, the surprises promotion will be kicking off with an AP dinner show at the golden horseshoe. Not sure how that ranks with the rest of the promotion but it is what it is.

Wow... I know they didn't initally reveal the food at that party, but $35 for a sandwich, chips, a beverage, side, and cake? That seems a tad high. Also, that is probably a good idea to get more people to buy the ears since they don't have that "wow" factor when you can't see them on your head.
