Filed under: PC , MMO , Politics The average World of Warcraft player has a number of annoyances to deal with during his day-to-day exploits in Azeroth -- gold farmers, gold sellers, ninja-looters, and overzealous paladins , to name a few. Unfortunately for subscribers, another soon-to-be-unpopular community is about to hit Blizzard's servers: Big Brother (that is to say, government intelligence agencies,...

EA tips Nintendo to do MMO

Sort by Nintendo Wii Fanboy (Free subscription) - 20/05/2008

Filed under: News , Nintendo Wi-Fi Are home consoles ready to support a successful MMO? EA Mythic creative director Paul Barnett thinks so, but reckons that the hegemony enjoyed by World of Warcraft could be an obstacle. As Barnett puts it in his interview with CVG: "It's very hard [...] when almost everyone has only ever played one of these games and it dominates their thinking." We'd probably agree...

We Own Internet History: The ROFLaptop!

Sort by The Next Web (Free subscription) - 03/09/2008

Then they put the item on eBay and promised to donate 100% of the profits from the auction to OLPC. As you might know the OLPC [...]

Last night I found myself talking to a good friend of mine and the conversation went something like this: Me: "I'm bored. What are you up to?" Her: " Aran ." Me: "Remember to move during the flame wreath ." Her: "And stand...

Most are content to enjoy the experience of leveling up a character, raiding with their friends, or engaging in Player vs. Player combat. Some, simply by their actions or position in life,...

ROFLCON!

Sort by MIT Admissions (Free subscription) - 02/05/2008

I’m mildly obsessed with the internet. Actually, mildly is putting it mildly. I’m overwhelmingly obsessed with the internet. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that for almost my entire life I’ve had to deal with dial-up internet. That's the issue with living in the country, slow internet. Things changed when I got to MIT. Instead of being plugged into the wall in order to get slow internet,...

Leeroy Jenkins in Software Development

Sort by K. Scott Allen (Free subscription) - yesterday

The Jenkins video always makes me laugh. It’s the short and sad tale of a man who doesn’t have the patience for planning, nor the stamina for statistical analysis. He’s a man who leaps into action without thought of consequence. To Leeroy, there are no 50,000 foot views, no discussions, and … no tomorrow. In the video you can watch as Leeroy’s guild is decimated by dragons who take advantage of the...
