Here's a friendly reminder that BlizzCon 2008 begins this Friday, Oct. 10, at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, Calif. According to Blizzard poster Zarhym, the submission window for all contests has closed.

Jay Mohr will be hosting the live contests, comedian Patton Oswalt will entertain the crowd, and Level 80 Elite Tauren Chieftain and Video Games Live will provide a wide array of music. Oh, and of course there's two full days of gaming.

If you won't be in attendance at the sold-out event, check out DirecTV for over 16 hours of broadcasts. Also, check the official BlizzCon page for more information.

"With more hall space, more attendees, and more attractions, this BlizzCon will be our biggest yet," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment in a press release. "We're working hard with our partners to make this an unforgettable experience, and we're looking forward to meeting players at the show."
