What’s been going on in World Of Warcraft since Wrath of the Lich King?
I know a lot of people had stopped playing World of Warcraft before the expansion came out, and they sometimes wonder how it’s changed. Some have moved to other MMO games and want to know how it compares to the new WoW, while others have reverted back to FPS games and are just wondering if they’re missing anything. Because I hear a lot of the same questions, I’ve compiled a brief WotLK FAQ to quell some of that curiosity.
A Netherlands based company called W-41 has come up with a digital logo that will allow people to scan one another with a camera phone, and it will then direct them to the scanee’s Facebook page.
Ever notice how gaming can come in between relationships? Well I say, “Girlfriends, pshaw, who needs them when you’ve got video games to play?” And just to make this more compelling, I am going to be addressing “video games” as “her” so we can really see how close we can be with our games.
Some habits make life hard for yourself, while other habits make everyone around you miserable. This is a top five list of the worst habits that can either effect just the person with the habit, or everyone they encounter. If you exhibit a majority of items on this list, your gamer friends probably hate you, and you should probably hate yourself, too.
Just 27 hours after the European World of Warcraft servers went online for the expansion, a player by the name of Nymh reached level 80. Levels on average take about 7-10 hours, while his average was 2.7 hours. How did he do it, and more importantly, should we encourage or discourage this type of achievement?
Out of the myriad characters in Super Smash Bros Brawl, who would you want to spend your college days with? Let’s look closely at the fighters’ lives outside the ring, where instead of smashing and brawling, they’ll be challenged by the everyday things we normal people have to deal with. Each character will be ranked from 1 to 10 in three categories: diligence, cleanliness, and social acceptance. Then the sum of each category will determine their score and help determine their rank as a potential college roommate. (Some scores won’t reflect their potential as well as others, which is why I’ve written a little something for each entry.) There are just too many characters (35 in total) to write up a complete list, but here are the top five and the bottom six.
Activision has announced that for every copy of Call of Duty: World at War sold at the Washington D.C. GameStop store during the pre-release event today, Veteran’s Day, Activision will donate $10 to the USO. But after CEO Bobby Kotick’s recent comments regarding adding subscription fees to Guitar Hero, Activision’s donation to the USO seems more like an apology than sheer altruism.
