‘World of Warcraft’ players dropped by nearly 1 Milli in three months
Why! Just today I woke up and was contemplating whether or not I was going to buy Warlords of Dra..Draenor (?). I mean — I also contemplated whether or not I wanted to masturbate before I drank my first energy drink, so it isn’t like it was some in-depth shit. But anyways, it appears that World of Warcraft is understandably shedding players as the game continues to age. But like me, will these folk return for the new expansion? Are they just pooped? Are they playing Wildstar?
‘DESTINY’ cost Activision $500 MILLI. HALF A F**KIN BILLION
Yeah, so. Like. Activision is-spending-will-spend-has-spent fucking $500 million on Destiny? Good luck with that, guys. Like, I’m buying the game. I know a lot of people who are buying the game. But recouping that sort of cheddar? Uhhh. Here’s looking at the long game, it seems.
New ‘TONY HAWK’ game coming from Activision. OLLIE OF F**KING JOY
Remember back in 2000 (or was it 2001? If only we could search things on the Internet), when Tony Hawk was fucking awesome? Grinding to Primus and shit? Man. The good old days. Then Tony Hawk came out every year and it was like WAY MOST NOT GNARLY and I got tired it. But it’s been long enough for a TUBULAR REVIVAL, and the Powers that Be at Activision see that too.
Activision: ‘DESTINY’ is like totally going to be “BEST SELLING” original game ever
Activision! Bold words. Or are they? I’m no economist. No projector of market forces. However, it doesn’t seem too daring to predict that Destiny may end up as the best selling original game ever. That’s the crux of the argument. New game! Like, Halo 5 may outsell it, but it’s a sequel to an established franchise.
BLIZZARD STARTS OVER ON THEIR NEW MMO; but we have f**king pandas so who cares?!
Whoops. It looks like things are not fairing well on Blizzard’s new MMO. Not the best time for such news either, seeing as that WoW is bleeding heavily out of their player base-anus. The hive-mind at Blizzard is restarting their super-secret MMO, as well as pushing the son of a bitch to 2016.
Bungie reveals ‘DESTINY’, sort of. Hope you like f**king concept art.
Bungie has like, sort of technically revealed Destiny. It is a reveal, if you consider dropping a lot of buzzwords, hype, promises, and concept art as a reveal. Which I sort of do. However, at this point in the fucking charade, I imagine the rest of the public wants something more substantial. Don’t get me wrong, it is sexy concept art. But I mean, it is ephemeral as fuck. After years of murmurings, the company behind Halo sated its public with more morsels than anything else. C’mon Bungie. I want to be excited about your game. Throw me something concrete.
‘CALL OF DUTY: BLACK OPS 2’ MULTIPLAYER TRAILER: If you don’t know what to expect by now, sterilize thyself.
Here be the multiplayer trailer for Black Ops 2. There isn’t really anything stunning within, however I can’t imagine someone who doesn’t know whether or not they will or will not buy this game before even seeing footage.
TRENT REZNOR Does ‘BLACK OPS 2’ Theme Song. Ehhhhhh, Que?
Imma buy and play Black Ops 2, because it has joined Thanksgiving and gaining twenty pounds as perennial November habits of mine. Now I know I’ll be partying to a uh, wait what?, theme song by Trent Rezzy when I boot the fucker up.
3.5 Million People Bought ‘DIABLO 3’ In First 24 Hours. My Posse Rolls Deep.
There was a point when I wondered if Diablo 3 would be a success like its predecessor was, and it is announcements like this that make me feel silly for thinking so.
Lawsuit Reveals Infinity Ward’s West and Zampella’s Were Due A Cool $13 Million Bonus Each In 2010
We get to learn so many neat things from the lawsuit Activision rained down on the heads of Jason West and Vince Zampella, the founders of Infinity Ward. The latest? The fat loot they were due in 2010. Lots, and lots of Junior Bacon Cheeseburgers worth.
