I know blizzard (main) was in anaheim. just south (and sprawling with, but in orange county so nobody sane would ever go there) of los angeles. might be what you’re thinking of? but also you could be right, and it was in, like, glendale or some shit.
Blizzard North (formerly known as Condor) was an American video game development studio based in San Mateo, California. The studio was the Bay Area division of Blizzard Entertainment, known for its Diablo series. The company was originally based in Redwood City, California, before moving a short distance away to San Mateo, with Blizzard proper being based in Irvine, southern California.
Yes, Anaheim is in Orange County, I’m not sure what you’re getting at. Orange County certainly has some nasty sprawl, but it also has some nice beaches.
I don’t like any part of CA between SF and LA (San Diego is nice, as are parts north of SF), but Orange County really doesn’t stand out to me as particularly bad. It’s better than LA County in many ways. But the region has some decent geography, so I like to visit occasionally (I live out of state, but my in-laws live on the edge of LA County and Orange County).
WoW was pretty good, too. Maybe too good. It had my hyper focus for like 4 years. I wish I could get a tenth as into games now as I was into WoW about 20 years ago.
Well, the Diablo series was quite good
wasn’t blizzard north canadian, though?
When Canada makes good shit we just claim it as American. People rarely call us on it.
oh. okay then, yeah, diablo, fav game as a young kid, local california studio, whoo!
I thought Canada’s pride and glory was Eidos Montreal and now you’re telling me Blizzard North was here too? Oh goodie!
California IIRC.

the problem with OC is not geography.
Not sure what to tell you then.
