It's that time of year again. No, it's not Christmas, although this is a close second. It's the time that Blizzard announces the new BlizzCon in-game reward items. You know, the ones that the luck attendees get and everyone else shells out huge cash for on ebay.

BlizzCon 2010 World of Warcraft & StarCraft II In-Game Items

"Death will rise from the tide!" Level 80 Elite Tauren Chieftain once warned -- and at BlizzCon 2010, the band's dire musical prophecy will finally come to pass. Everyone who attends this year's BlizzCon or purchases the BlizzCon Virtual Ticket will receive an exclusive set of murlocalyptic in-game items for World of Warcraft and StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. World of Warcraft players will be joined by Deathy, a murloc companion decked out as Deathwing and doing his best to strike fear into the hearts of Azeroth's crustacean population. You'll also be able to display your tidal pride in StarCraft II with a Murloc Marine character portrait and a pair of deep-sea decals to emblazon on your units, each with a different terran, protoss, and zerg design.

BlizzCon 2010 takes place on October 22 and 23 at the Anaheim Convention Center. For further details or to order the BlizzCon Virtual Ticket, visit www.BlizzCon.com.

All I have to say is wow, I love these new items. Any new murloc companion is pure win, and team that up with one for StarCraft II as well? Hurray!
