Today, we kick off a week of coverage on David Craddock's upcoming book on Blizzard Entertainment, Stay Awhile and Listen. He has been working on the book since mid-2008, and he talks to nearly 80 former employees, including those who used to work at Blizzard, Condor (later Blizzard North), and Silicon & Synapse (Blizzard's original name when it was founded), as well as people who had regular dealings with Blizzard head honchos Mike Morhaime and Allen Adham.
Here's the schedule:
- Monday: Chapter 8, part 1: The Foundation of Diablo
- Tuesday: Chapter 8, part 2: A work hard, play hard mentality
- Wednesday: Chapter 8, finale: Condor and Blizzard clash over Diablo
- Thursday: Interview with David Craddock, with questions from readers
- Today: A contest to win a free copy of the book.
Stay with us all week and have fun reading. Special thanks to David Craddock for allowing us to post the chapter and working with us for the last three months to bring it to you. The book launches next year, and will be published by Digital Monument Press.

it reminds me of that point and click adventure game that stole all of their images from other games and used MS Paint to make them their own.

Ah - I can explain this. It IS our image, but a very early one meant as a teaser. And we didn't clone the fog at the bottom. Ours was smaller, cutting off a little ways below the words. I imagine the cloning was done to get the image to fit a certain image size requirement.
