World of Warcraft Forums – WoW Guru – The Burning Crusade, Starcraft 2, and DIABLO 3!

From what we’ve heard Diablo 3 is going to be an MMO, as massive as World of Warcraft, with the concept of Hell invading Heaven. One rumor going around with Diablo 3 is that there will be Guild Housing included. The game is said to be looking brilliant and will be showcased at Blizzcon as their big suprise.

Wow, a Diablo MMO… Hell invading Heaven? Wow. I don’t know how I’d be able to balance between WoW and this. But, this is still just a rumor. Will be interesting to see what comes from Blizzcon!

WoW: Burning Crusade Announced!

Filed under: Gaming — Matt McDougall @ 4:25 pm

World of Warcraft’s first expansion has been announced… The Burning Crusade. I had predicted months ago that the Dark Portal would eventually be used to travel to Draenor/Outland, and I was right.

The premise is that the Burning Legion is readying another attack, and its up to you to put a stop to it. If you’ve played WC3, you can figure what’s about to happen. If you’ve played WC2, you know about the Dark Portal.

This expansion sounds pretty sweet, here are some details:

An increase in the level cap to 70
Two new playable races, including the magical Blood Elves
New starting zones in Quel’Thalas and beyond
The entire new continent of Outland, reachable through the Dark Portal
Many new high-level dungeons to explore in Azeroth, Outland, and elsewhere
New flying mounts in Outland
Many new and dangerous monsters, including epic world bosses
Hundreds of new quests
Hundreds of new items
A new profession: Jewelcrafting
Socketed items
And much, much more…

Blood Elves?! Oh yes, I’ll be getting back into this when it comes out. Read more here.

GP2X Game System

GP2X Game System

If there’s one thing I love about the PSP, its the ability to run homebrew apps such as emulators. However, with Sony cracking down on this ability, I’m going to find it harder and harder to do so in the future. Well, I no longer have reason to worry, as the GP2X Game System is on the way. All I know about it is that which is on the Lik-Sang website, but it looks pretty sweet. Who wouldn’t want a relatively inexpensive linux based game device that’s basically designed around homebrew and emulation? I know I want one. Check it out above… If I get one, I’ll be sure to post up a review.

Uwe Boll Directing Postal

Filed under: Gaming — Matt McDougall @ 5:07 pm

“Uwe Boll put another notch in his gamepad today, as developer Running With Scissors announced that the game-centric director-producer has signed on to help bring its controversial Postal series of games to the big screen.”

Think ‘House of the Dead’ and ‘Alone in the Dark’. Better yet… don’t.

Boycoot DooM

Filed under: Gaming, Tech News — Matt McDougall @ 1:05 am

Whatever you do, do not see this movie. It is complete ass. If you’ve seen Resident Evil, you’ve seen a better version of this movie. No demons, no hell. The only references to hell in the movie are from the religious guy who gets killed off early. Yes, I’m spoiling this movie for you… I hope you never fucking see it. The “demons” are caused by a 24th chromosome… and if you’re a “good” person, it makes you SUPERHUMAN.

My advice is to avoid this movie at all costs and show Serenity some support. Serenity deserves all the support it can get, and the sad thing is Doom will most likely outperform it in the box office. If you are sane, you will heed my advice. I would have done better seeing Serenity for a third time. What a fucking waste of time. I could have spent that time in Earthsea. Ugh.
