A week ago, Aaron from Starcraft.org sent us in place of him to cover the Starcraft 2 press event. After the event, Blizzard offered a tour of their campus. Below is a video and some photos that Jay and I took. While viewing the media, here are somethings we have been told or seen during our tour:

Parking gets crazy full during work hours

There are 2 valet parking employees on both ends of the campus

Valets usually double park cars (because its THAT full)

The front gate of Blizzard, kind of look like Pixar’s front gate

There are contests to win the closest parking lot on the campus

Art contests happen all the time

The door labeled “Project Hydra” is not a code name for a secret game. It’s just the area where Diablo employees work in

We were not allowed to take photos of videos of their (NOC) Network Operations Center, but it kind of looks like this

Everyone who worked at Blizzard during the grand opening of the new campus received a statuette replica of the Orc statue in the middle of the campus

Everyone’s desk looks like they are having a contest as to who can have the most toys on it

Video tour and photos are posted past the break.
