What qualifications do you need to work for Blizzard Entertainment as a Graphic Designer?

I'm doing a project for school about it. I can't go to the website at school for it, as it is a game company and is blocked. I need the following information:

Can JUST ONE DQ Blizzard make me gain weight?

I had a Yule Flip Mint Chip Blizzard (it's the blizzard of the month) at Dairy Queen tonight. I almost NEVER eat ice cream, or any kind of dessert or sweet (I am too afraid that I will gain weight). Considering this, could me eating just one medium sized blizzard cause me to gain any weight? Thank you to anyone who answers!|||Absolutely not. One yummy dessert now and then will never hurt you. Now, if you were to have them several times a day, every day....that's a different story. Nothing will hurt you in moderation. :)|||no ofcourse its ok 2 give yourself what u want once in a while and if u eat right all the time and u always excercise then nothing will happen besides its only one blizzard not a x-large pixxa with meats and 50 diffferent chesses, don't worry if u want get the blizzard but only sometimes|||No, its just one. If you do for like, 3 or 4 days strait, then ya you'll probably gain a few pounds.|||I disagree with the other answers. Yes it will cause you to gain weight. Although it may not even be a pound, you will still experience some negative side effects from eating junk, always. Dont beat yourself up about it, but try not to "fall off the wagon" again ok.|||it'll take more than that to gain weight, u'd have to had had like 15 of those alone just to gain like one pound|||Nope, you're just fine. Having a majorly high calorie treat once in a while will not make you gain weight unless you start doing it on a constant weekly basis.

What music does Blizzard Entertainment use for their customer service?

same here, its pretty addictive huh?|||Blizz has customer serveice?

Im stuck in the middle of the DC blizzard should I stay home tomorrow?

I didn't buy any supplies I might not have any food to eat tomorrow what should I do?


Do you think the roads will be clear?


The snow is suppose to continue all day tomorrow.|||Yes I heard that on the Weather chanel ; that you are having a big snow storm Right now how many inches of snow is on the ground ? About road ; NO they will be ugly and dangerous|||Sure?

What speed do you drive in a snow blizzard?

If the road is covered with snow, late at night, and the snow is coming down hard and in a blinding swirl, what speed would you drive at.|||It would be best to not drive at all under those conditions, but if you must drive, drive slowly enough so that you can stop in time to not hit anything that may be in front of you. The actual speed will vary with conditions and visibility. Try pretending that something on or beside the road is a person or another vehicle. If you can't stop before you pass it, you're driving too fast.|||Zero. No one should drive in a blizzard.|||What you're comfortable with. There's no reason to speed in those types of conditions just to appease others. They can always pass you if they're in such a hurry to possibly wreck.|||Whatever speed I'm comfortable with, the amount of snow on the road, and how far down the road I can see.





I once drove on a secondary road where the snow was kicking up so hard that I literally could not see the road in front of the car. It was like a sheet of white in front of the headlamps. I had to come to a stop during those times and when the wind let up a little to reveal the road in front, I could start to drive forward again. This went on for about 1/2 an hour and I did not get very far in that time but I made it home safely.|||Whatever speed you feel you can still stop the car in the event of a skid. In reality though, try not to dive in that weather.|||you should drive between 10-30mph. no higher than 40mph. here's a tip. drive at a speed where you are able to stop within range of your headlights.|||Depends on how fast people around you are going!

How do i get the code without a Blizzard Authenticator?

I don't wanna buy the damn authenticator and it says everywhere it's optional, then why the hell is it bugging me to get a code for something I don't want? Can i get around the code without waiting for the damn thing to be shipped to me as well as i don't feel like paying more for a game I already pay to play.|||If you have an IPhone/IPod Touch, Blizzard has an application which does the exact same thing. I don't think you have to pay for it, too.|||O yeah btw. This didn't help at all. Yahoo needs to remove the voting thing and let the asker always pick. Someon had hacked my blizzard account and added the authenticator. So if you ever need a code and never attached authenticator: call blizzard account services.

How long until Blizzard changes my password?

I changed my password in World of Warcraft because I had forgotten what it was, and it said to wait for an hour tops...





It's been three hours, I've never heard of a game with a password change that took that long. How long does it usually take for them to register the alteration?





Thank you.|||It should be instantaneous.

Do you think blizzard will ever bring out another world of warcraft expansion?

I'd im imagine they would in a couple of years i guess it can't stay catacylsm for i imagine long time it will be up, what do you think and what would you like it to bring to the game?|||In the FAQS on Cataclysm one of the questions was "Is there a new hero class being introduced to the game?" They replied, "Creating a new hero class changes the game drastically and that is not what we wanted to do for this expansion, but we plan on making a new hero class in the future." Wasn't exactly said like that but the point is they made it clear that there will be expansions beyond Cataclysm.|||I think it's a given that they will release new expansions, because otherwise the income would reduce, which of course, Blizzard won't want, so they will of course bring out new expansions, or they would lose players aswell...|||I'm not sure. The number of WoW subscribers went from 12 million to 11 and it keeps going down even with Cataclysm having released in China.


Also, they are working on a new MMORPG - project Titan or something like that, google it. I just don't think they still want to spend a lot of money on WoW, and since the subscription numbers are declining, they probably won't bring many new players with a new expansion.|||I don't think so.|||Of course they are , why would you ever think that they'll stop bringing expansion ? The community is as active as ever , the fanbase is only getting bigger and its currently their primary source of income ... so dont worry , unless they make another MMO game that actually surpasses WoW , theyll just keep making new content for the game .|||yes they will come out with another one it is alreadsy in the under the table testing thing it was befor cata went live|||catacylsm is having 1 more major patch and thats it! they are trying for an expansion early next year already!



they are just milking wow as much as they can before titan now...



oh and at above answer..wow is losing subscribers they lost ~1 million since december|||Lol.





I love the noise people make over some lost subscribers.





It has over 5 million people.





It doesn't matter how fast it declines as long as it has like 200.000 people it will be there.





Almost no mmo has a million subscribers, let alone 10 million.





Anyway, expansion is coming up in less then a year :p.

How much snow did Chicago get in the blizzard that just happened last night?

Oh also try and answer this, who got more snow Joplin, mo or Chicago, il?|||The Official total for Chicago which is recorded at OHare Airport was 20.2" of snow #3 on the list for most snow for one storm


1967 was 23 inches and 1999 was 21.3|||im really not sure about joplin MO. and im not soo sure about Chicago, but i hear chicago got about 2 feet.





i live about 100 miles north of chicago, and we got about 16 inches of snow. it was INSANE! :)








although i think joplin got a lot of ice? alhtough i could be wrong? :)|||20 inches...|||Joplin, I think got just a little more or maybe the same. 20 inches.|||Too much!|||we got a good 23 inches...the snow drifts are more than up to my waist!!!

Why does blizzard sell you the cds with the expansions of wrath of the lich king?

i got the wrath of lich king expansion for x-mas and when i open the box so i can get the code i find 2 cds. i already got the original W.o.W. game and the burning crusade expansion, but i don't know what to do with the cds that came with the lich king expansion. do they have something on there that i need to download or wut?|||You mean 2 CD's BESIDE the WoTLK DVD ? Or are they the only 2 CD's in the box ?





If the second option , this is WoTLK (Doubt it , it comes on DVD) .





If the first , have you gotten the game in the form of Special package ? Or limited edition or something?





My friend bought WoTLK when it was out , and it didn't have any other discs but the WoTLK DVD .





AND no , you don't have to download anything else, other downloads come in the form of patch's .





It could be a video or a special behind the scenes movie or something .Or even some sort of a guide.

How much is it to get into blizzard beach florida per person?

Can i have the answer in 拢 please. Have looked on the website but it only gives you a price as a unlimited disney 14 day package. Thanks|||I used a converter. It's about 拢22.92 per person age 10 and up, and 拢18.99 per person ages 3-9.|||Many think it is better off going to Wet and Wild. (near Universal Studios) much less expensive and many think much, much better. They also have half day and night time only ticketrs.

What are the alternatives to using the Blizzard Downloader?

Hello, I decided to start WoW again and after reinstalling it I had to install all the patches again. It's taking bloody ages and I'm not gonna use it because it's crap! Is there anything else I can use?|||you could try to D/L off torrent site like BtJunkie.org but you would need somthing like u torrent or search google for the patch u want and add download to the search i.e. "WoW 1.2.5 patch download"|||FileFront have pretty much all the patches, you'll still need to download them all separately, and it may take just as long.


Or attempt using torrent's, though be careful there some may be virus's, though the 2.43-3.02 patch is over a gig so i doubt it could be mistaken for a Virus, just check the comment's on the torrent site to make sure.

Is it legal for Blizzard to request a photocopy of my ID?

I lost my world of warcraft pass and blizzard is requesting I send in a photo copy of my ID or Ss card which of course I feel EXTREMELY uncomfortable about.Can a gaming company legally request that kind of stuff for a game? seems a bit much.|||Anyone can ask you to show them just about any thing and I am talking anything.





The trick is in knowing who you are obliged to do as requested.





Private business cant demand anything from you but equally so they don't have to do business with you.


Therefore its a compromise. You either do as asked or move on. Therefor in reality you agree to share it.|||They can't force you to give your ID, and you don't have to have your old account back.

How does Blizzard feel about private servers?

And at what point does it cross the line from legal, to illegal? How is that defined?





Thanks.|||Since private servers take away from the main blizzard community, blizzard goes after these private servers furiously, either shut it down or we sue since its breaks copyright laws.|||according to WoW EULA (end user license agreement) all private servers are illegal. Of course they know theres plenty of them but generally they're left alone if they're not making money. They shut down molten wow pretty fast (an old private server that was insanely fun and the owners made a lot of money)|||blizzard hates em if they make money

What are some things a mobile home owner needs to do right after a blizzard?

As much snow as possible was removed from roof and porch roof. What else needs to be done? No frozen pipes right now and heater tape is around all pipes. What else?|||Even though your pipes have heater tape, if the power goes out in the night you might want a backup. I would leave one faucet farthest from your water hook up on a slow drip just to keep the water moving a little. Especially if your hook up to water is above ground. Keep an eye on the roof every couple hours if it is still snowing. Is your sewage line exposed under the skirt? Sometimes a metal skirt under the mobile will keep the crawlspace warm, but if you have no skirt you might want to check it. Though if the snow is too high, the snow will actually act as insulation to the crawlspace! Igloo style. If it is exposed elsewhere, you might want to make sure it does not freeze. (that could get ugly quick!) Wrapping it in old towels works fine. Build a Snowman tomorrow! God Bless!|||Check on your neighbors. Clear driveway so you can get out incase you need it to in an emergency. And make sure vehicle is cleared off and will start %26amp; run. Cuddle

Can I mix blizzard leopard geckos with regular leopard geckos?

I have a male blizzard leopard and a female regular leopard gecko.Can I mix them?|||Yes, a blizzard is still a leo; its just a morph that is different:)|||yes their will be no problem its just with two males in a cage you can't have.|||I would moniter them for a few hours to make sure everything is working out.


Good luck

What happens to plants/people/landscape during a blizzard?

Im doing a science report on blizzards and i need to know what happens to plants, people and landscape...Any ideas? =) Thanks.|||hi


Well lilbizzys right. As far as the plants go most of them are hearty plants to live in places that are regularly hit with blizzards. Sometimes heavy wet snow can break branches. People mostly stay home depending on the severity of the storm. If its an actual blizzard towns will just simply shut down until the city trucks can clear the roads. Sometimes in the worst cases this can be a few days. Grass simply goes dormant and stops growing till spring, kind of like hibernation. The landscape isn't effected much by snow and wind ( blizzard warning=sustained 35mph winds and heavy snow in 3 hours.) Blizzards usually are so bad due to wind and low visibility less than 1/4mi. The most damage to landscape and plants are humans plowing and salting. Salt isn't good for the environment and water. Plows usually will tare out large amounts of grass and maby knock down an occasional tree or bush.|||Plants go dormant or can die


people get frozen in, get hypothermia or die


landscape is covered with snow and there is damages.|||Being a plant under the snow during a blizzard is like being in a submarine (submerged) while it's raining.|||they get covered in snow

Will Blizzard offer starcraft 2 wings of liberty be available for download?

Wondering if i can get the game cheaper then the pre-order price. Right now its at $59.99 and you have to take shipping into account.|||Well if you get it from Amazon you can save on taxes (love how amazon doesn't charge tax) and it is eligible for the free shipping which can take 5 to 9 business days to ship. However, Amazon dose not genuinely have a lot of copies I suggest you snag yours asap.





Oh course there is the cheapest price of all which is free...but then you will lose the online functionality. That is another story though.

What happens if the Patriots have to play a playoff game in blizzard like conditions?

Does this put a damper on their ferocious passing attack? If so, is their running game good enough to go all the way to the SuperBowl? I hope this question makes sense!|||not likely, since the 08 bowl will be in Arizona.... not too many blizzards usually, and i think it's an indoor stadium.








butas far as 'what if's' go.... i'd probably take the Pats over most of the teams in the cold, except for maybe GB.|||Snow angels|||Short passes to Kevin Faulk in the backfield, pound the ball up the middle and I hate to say it, but scramble. That would be my game plan. Though, Tom Brady can throw in the wind, it is the precipitation that gets him off target. Only time will tell what will happen.|||Nope. Tom Brady (aka Jesus) puts a call in to his father (God), and he demands that god allows him to part the defenders like Moses parting the Red Sea. Then God gives him a strong wind to his back, which allows Brady to throw a 99 yard deep ball to Randy Moss, who is carried by angels to catch it 40 feet in the air, and then gently comes down on the shoulders of Wes Welker, who carries Moss the remaining one yard into the end zone. Then Matt Light cures cancer, and Teddy Bruschi rids Africa of AIDS.





Then they go on to lose in the Super Bowl because the Bible really doesn't have a happy ending.|||I'll give you two answers to both questions:





1. Will it damper their passing attack -


To some degree sure. Blizzard conditions effect certain routes, and they effect visibility of the ball. That being said, not to as high of a degree as a lot of teams. Blizzard conditions have a big impact on timing routes, which the patriots dont rely on too much. They aslo effect routes that have quick cuts and slants, another thing the Patriots dont rely on too much. Post and Go Patterns are still runnable and the Patriots use those a lot to begin with.


So yes the Patriots wont have 400 yards passing in a blizzard, but they will still have 200-250 yards and still have a deep threat.





2. Is the Patriots running game good enough?


Absolutely. The Patriots dont run a lot, but they can run when they want to. A lot of people dont know this, the Patriots have the highest percentage of runs for 4 yards or more in the NFL. So when they do run, they move the ball with it better than most teams. They ran on the ravens some, they ran on the colts for more than 100 yards, they ran on the cowboys they ran on the jets. If you look at their games without a lot of running yards, they dont have a lot of rushing attempts, their game plan was not to run.|||They just beat the Jets in bad weather with Maroney rushing for over 100 yards. Brady had less than 150 yards passing and no TDs. I think they still would win.|||I won't be concerned. The Pats have the O-line and running backs to rush whenever needed, and the short passing game they love so much won't be affected much.|||If they have to play in a blizzard then so do their opponents. That's obvious, but which NFL team is it that has this great all weather running game that we hear the Pat's don't have?|||They showed thier running game was good the other week. Besides, NFL players can make adjustments once they've been in a situation like that. They will learn to make passes differently.|||It does not matter what the weather conditions are. The Patriots play best when the weather is not good. Look back at some of the play-off games.|||they wont play as effectively|||They'll have some problem but so is the other team.|||it would not be the first time they have ever played in those conditions. Maybe a first for this year, but not a fisrt, and they always come out winners in those games.|||Looking at the stats, the Patriots have a Good running game... Better than most of the Playoff teams in fact (Now that Parker's hurt especially... Here are the Numbers in the following order:


Attempts / Yards / YPA / Rushing TD's





Patriots: 400 / 1609 / 4.0 / 14


Colts: 405 / 1540 / 3.8 / 17


Jags: 471 / 2094 / 4.4 / 15


Steelers: 492 / 2122 / 4.3 / 8


Chargers: 414 / 1772 / 4.3 / 18


Browns: 378 / 1596 / 4.2 / 13





So... Aside from Jacksonville, no team stands out above the rest. The Patriots also have a better rushing game at Gillette than on the road. They'll still be able to win regardless of the weather.





BTW - Many QB's enjoy snow %26amp; rain because it helps the receivers get open, the biggest enemy weather-wise to a QB is the wind.|||They lose to teams like the Jags and Pack.|||chances are their opponent will have to as well so that should even things out.

How to configure my McAfee SecurityCenter to fit the requirements of Blizzard/World of Warcraft?

It says on patch 3.1.0 that I need to open some ports on my firewall, but they don't give instructions on the firewall I have so I need to know how to do it.|||When you try to run it a message should come up saying they're blocking Blizzard Entertainment. There will be an option to allow it access. Grant it access and your good to go.





If it doesn't say grant access it might just say Unblock.|||That is because Firewalls don't *have* ports.

What is the difference between lake effect snow and a blizzard?

Seriously they seem almost the same but how are they different? And I see both being born and raised in norther Ohio and now living in Michianna!|||"Lake effect snow" and "blizzard" are typical American but, as a Norwegian who reads a lot, I'll explain the difference :-)





Blizzard is a word that is used in the US as a combination of snow and wind. It can happen anywhere.





Lake effect snow comes from the Great Lakes and most probably from Lake Michigan. When it is very cold and the wind blows from the lake, the relatively milder and very moist air comes over land, cools down and falls as snow. In other words, it also requires wind and it also manifests itself as snow but it only happens somewhere where the wind blows from a large body of water like Lake Michigan. In international meteorology terms that is called a advective precipitation but ... your terminology sounds better! :-)


Advection, actually, means: following the ground. Usually, precipitations (rain or snow) come from convection (rising air). Advection is a horizontal movement.|||Lake effect snow is a specific weather effect that occurs downwind of a large lake, when a storm picks up lake moisture and deposits it in the form of additional snow.


A blizzard is just any heavy snowstorm, you can have a blizzard with no lakes anywhere nearby.


So a moderate storm can get enhanced into a blizzard thanks to lake effect. A blizzard in western Colorado isn't due to lake effect though.|||The previous post had a very good answer. I would just like to add that technically a blizzard is defined by winds exceeding 30 miles per hour .

Why are there three different Blizzard spells in World of Warcraft?

I was looking at the spells for mages, and it says there are three different blizzards. What is the difference in them?|||Most likely you're looking at ranks of the spells. For example, a rank 3 blizzard would cause far more damage than a rank 1 blizzard.





In this case you would be using the highest, most powerful blizzard. The only difference is the spell damage and in some cases casting time.|||The difference between the different blizzards is damage and mana cost.





Essentially it is the same spell, but different versions. Much like Fireball has a bunch of ranks, each one more powerful than the one before it.|||To add on to what Markface mentioned, another factor regarding the different ranks of Blizzard would be the mana required to cast the spell.

Can you change your existing blizzard authenticator to your phone?

is it possible to change the blizzard authenticator to your phone? i have one where you touch the button and it shows the code. im wondering can you change the options to your phone?|||What.


The question doesn't even make sense.|||You will need to go into your battle.net account and remove the current authenticator. Then, download the phone app for your iPhone or Android phone and add that authenticator to your account instead of the physical authenticator.

What happens to flights the day after a blizzard and cancellations?

I live in Denver and current all flights out of DIA are cancelled today. I have the last flight out to O'Hare tomorrow w/ Southwest at 8:30pm.





Is my flight going to be pushed back because of the flights being cancelled today? Or will my flight still go off if the airport is ready by tomorrow night?





Also, will my flight most likely be delayed?|||First.... Please NOTE*** from Southwest.com





Denver (DEN) Winter Weather Advisory


Due to airport closure as a result of adverse weather conditions, Southwest has discontinued service to/from DEN until 8:00 p.m. (CDST) on Thursday, December 21.








We wholeheartedly appreciate your patience with our efforts to meet your air travel needs, and we invite you to please visit Flight Status Information and/or sign up for our convenient Flight Status Messaging to receive the latest information regarding your flight. We encourage our Ticketless Travel Customers to visit the Travel Center on southwest.com to cancel, change, and/or rebook their flight reservations. All ticketed Customers may contact Reservations (1-800-435-9792) for additional assistance.

My answer:








There are many factors are involved on whether you flight will make it out on time tomorrow night. Since you have such a late flight you may be ok as this gives the airline all day to reposition planes from city to city in order to get everything back on schedule. It will also very if there are any delays due to de-icing of the planes and if all runways are operational by tomorrow evening.





The good thing however is that you will have first dibs at your flight and will not be put off to accommodate someone that may have gotten stuck due to today's cancellations.





Be sure to call the airlines on tomorrow before going to the airport to check on the status of your scheduled flight.





One last thing that you may run into. The airline may be looking for volunteers to give their seats up in order to accommodate other passengers. If you have a flexible schedule you could consider giving up your seat for denied boarding compensation. They may give you a voucher for a free future flight or even gift cards with cash value. If you are willing to take the first flight out in the morning. If they do offer this also see if they will give you a hotel room in the airport area so that it is easy for you to take an early flight out the next morning.





I hope this helps you.|||Ok, I'm updating my answer. We got a message for my airline that all flights into and out of Denver are expected to be delayed for all of tomorrow. Bad weather is expected to continue tomorrow. The airport will be shut down part of tomorrow still. Call your Southwest and check on your flight. Call again before you leave for the airport tomorrow - if you even decide to attempt it tomorrow. They might book you to another day for free today already if you want to. Proactive is always a good idea.|||For tomorrow, you should definitely expect major delays and lots of bumping IF the flights are going into Denver at all. No matter what day you travel, you should get to the airport and check in at the gate as early as possible--- not the usual 30 minutes they recommend, more like several hours. There are going to be a lot of stranded passengers all scrambling for any empty seats on planes and as tempers flare, gate attendants will start giving angry customers seats on flights where the passengers have not checked in yet. The more backed up the airport is, the worse it gets, and Southwest is notorious for bumping people off before their stated check-in window.





Once flights into Denver resume, you should expect delays and bumping for another 2-3 days until all the passengers whose flights were cancelled have finally gotten on a plane. And don't assume that, just because your flight was not cancelled, you won't be impacted. If your flight is cancelled and you need to rebook, select a flight 2 or 3 days after the airport opens back up (if you can) to avoid the mayhem and ugly mess this weather is creating.
