Gaming and News Nerdery Both Quenchable: Digg While You Game

I have to assume, if you’re reading this, you’re probably a pretty big gamer. PC, console, cell phone, ball-in-a-cup, whatever. But in this technological day and age, no one can afford to be cut off from the world entirely, even during a 36-hour raid-no-shower-a-thon. There are new games you need to be notified of, politics a-brewin’, funny pictures of lolcats, and updates on Christina Aguilera your life will be lacking without. But how does one remedy their need for immediate looting and booting and their desire to be constantly in the know at the same time? GotGame LIVE was already the first step in this search for ultra-gratification, and now it’s taken another giant leap, thanks to compatible in-game Adobe AIR applications, such as DiggTop.

Let’s say you’re up early one weekend, and hop online to get your daily feed of news and lols. Chances are good that you’ll stop by Digg to do so, considering they have a speculated 3 million users at this point and more pop-eye-candy than the bastardized child of Radio Shack and Hot Topic. Hell, you may even be reading this right now thanks to Digg (oh, how meta). Point being, when your buddies start calling, nudging you toward Azeroth or DotA or whatever your fantasy realm of choice is, and you’re in the middle of learning whether dunking bacon in your coffee is a health-conscious decision or not, you may find yourself torn. Stay on-site and informed, or get in-game and let your arteries decide what’s right and wrong?

What an unfair choice. Obviously, the correct alternative is to do both. Frag, raid, and level away to your heart’s content, and get Digg updates delivered straight to your virtual doorstep. GotGame LIVE’s utilization of Adobe AIR applications allows it to be customized completely to your specifications, and popular apps like DiggTop are adjustable even further. Select which categories and feeds you’re interested in, and have the newest Dugg stories updated while you game. DiggTop even scrolls through images and videos pulled from those articles so your visual stimulation limit is maxed at all times. Better get your Clockwork Orange Eyelid Clamper™ ready.
