Chris Metzen: A look inside the brains behind Blizzard's fantasy worlds

May. 22 11:04 AM by Scott Pytlik

So I was reading through some StarCraft related sites as I usually do every day, scouring for the best tidbits of news and rumors to gather and bring to the forefront of your attention, when I stumbled upon an awesome interview with a man by the name of Chris Metzen.

To some of you die hard Blizzard buffs, Chris Metzen may be a household name, to the rest of you, you're probably scratching your head asking yourself why you should even be interested in him. Well I'll tell you why. Chris Metzen is the Vice President of Creative Development for Blizzard Entertainment. What that means is he is the brains behind the WarCraft, StarCraft and Diablo universes.

But he wasn't always the top dog, there was a time when he didn't know what he wanted to do with his life, a time when he was content just singing in a band, a time when he didn't realize that his creative imagination could do so much more for him than just put food on his table.

In this interview Metzen takes you through the story of his professional career from college until now and explains how he got his start in the company that has become a giant in the gaming industry. This is certainly an interesting read for anyone thinking they love video games but can't make a living off of it. Metzen might just change your mind; he might just make you believe your dream is possible.

Then again, maybe he won't ;)
