World of Warcraft Funding NFL Team
Ever wonder where your monthly World of Warcraft fee goes? Well, part of it goes into the (large) pockets of Blizzard COO Paul Sams. Now he’s taking his sizable pockets and putting it into the Pittsburgh Steelers. Sams was named one of 10 new co-owners of the NFL franchise, and with his backing, the team [...]

Monday, September 21, 2009
It’s great to see a new MMO pop-up to challenge the realm of Warcraft, but the problem is all of those disgruntled players of Blizzard’s money makers are willing to give anything a chance… all at once. Those who pre-ordered Aion, all 400,000 of them, have flooded the servers. Simply put, the servers can’t handle it. [...]

Friday, August 28, 2009
World of Warcraft has taken away your gaming time, drinking time thanks to Game Fuel, and now it wants to take away even more precious hours. Blizzard is teaming up with magazine publisher Future to start producing the appropriately titled World of Warcraft: The Magazine. While the magazine will be advertising free, the price is jacked up. [...]

Friday, June 12, 2009
Remember when Halo 3 launched? Pepsi decided to jump on the marketing bandwagon and released Game Fuel, a nasty tasting concoction that Halo fans probably bought anyway. Realizing there’s an entirely different set of gamers out there who would probably buy that same nasty tasting concoction, Pepsi re-bottled it as World of Warcraft Mountain Dew. Unlike [...]

Sunday, February 1, 2009
Sure, World of Warcraft is addictive. It’s the centerpiece for all of those news stories about game addiction, and it might even be responsible for eating babies and their puppies. Regardless, the game is now responsible for (get ready) a high number of college dropouts. Federal Communications Commissioner Deborah Taylor Tate spoke out on the [...]

Tuesday, December 23, 2008
One of Blizzard’s April Fools Jokes was a 2600 version of World of Warcraft. Leave it to the gaming community to make it a reality. While not technically a 2600 title (it’s not playable on an emulator), the Windows version is now available for download. The massive, hard drive filling 2MB file will net you [...]
Continue reading...World of Warcraft Hosting 11 Million
Thursday, December 4, 2008
One would think at some point, Blizzard’s servers would implode under all of the stress they go through. Now, with World of Warcraft hitting a nearly absurd 11 million players, maybe that time will come. The news comes only a few weeks before the next expansion, Wrath of the Lich King hits stores. The expansion [...]
Continue reading...World of Warcraft is Educational
Sunday, November 9, 2008
Unschooling, a belief that traditional education doesn’t work and needs changed, has become the basis for University of Wisconsin-Madison Constance Steinkuehler’s study that Warcraft provides actual education value. She gathered up some eight and ninth graders for after school sessions of the game, and lo and behold, it seemed to have an effect. As the [...]

Saturday, November 8, 2008
If you’re finally ready to give up your addiction to World of Warcraft for something you believe to be less addictive, chances are you’ll be back. Say that “less addictive” activity is Age of Conan. Well, the stats say you’ll be back to Azeroth 68% of the time. Maybe Warhammer is more your speed? Chances [...]
Continue reading...Prison Inmate Sues for WoW Addiction
Friday, November 7, 2008
Chances are, you’ve heard of Johnathan Riches. He’s a prison inmate who has filed some of the most absurd lawsuits in recent memory, going as far as suing George Bush, Barry Bonds, and Eiffel Tower (?). This time, his target will be Blizzard, as their addictive World of Warcraft sent him on a crime spree, [...]
Continue reading...Bejewled and Warcraft: A Match Made in, well, Warcraft
Tuesday, October 14, 2008
Kudos to PopCap. Michael Fromwiller created an in-game Bejeweled clone in World of Warcraft to pass the time while waiting around for raids or when gold farming. Instead of PopCap dropping a lawsuit in the guys lap, the company instead hired him to do an official version of the puzzle classic. The game, now cleaned [...]
