New "quest line" to win a trip to Blizzcon 09

Blizzard/Razer has released this new "quest line" that you can complete to win a chance to go to Blizzcon 09. If you like wasting time and being forced to visit several Razer promotional sites, then these quests are definitely for you. The quests involve visiting the Razer facebook and twitter sites, wherein the codes you need to find are clearly spelled out for you. How clever! What about activating thine handheld navigation device's leftmost module over the tabards of thou's lofty sponsorships? Better yet, cut the olde english and give us the CLICK OUR SPONSORS 5 TIMES TO CONTINUE routine. I mean, it works for warez sites.

I feel dirty after completing this.

Also (and I realize this is old, but still seems worth mentioning) you can find the petition to include support for LAN play in StarCraft II here. Even if you're like me and most likely wouldn't be using LAN mode much, if at all, I urge everyone to give this a quick signing. I know that multiplayer gaming is quickly turning to faceless online play and away from the old style of guy-sitting-next-to-you-within-kicking-range, but is it really necessary or fair to start eliminating this option completely? Blizzard wants you to play on Battle.net. And you will. The inclusion of LAN play isn't going to change the popularity or the revenue gained from battle.net in one way or another, and the idea of excluding it just seems greedy.
