The Blizzard Retrospective Video

[Narco]

There was a very small, 5 lines or so, post on MMO-Champion following the new Firelands daily quest zone stuff about the history of Blizzard that could have been easily overlooked, but I managed to notice it and give it a gander, my lord was it interesting.

It's in celebration of 20 years of Blizzard, and about the entire history of Blizzard and the original company that started it all called Silicon and Synapse, so if you have any interest in games development, the process of creating games, the history of games, games companies as a whole, 1990's gaming, and/or Blizzard from an internal perspective it is a highly recommended watch as I found the whole thing fascinating.

It's about 50 minutes long, but worth every minute if you managed to miss it.
