‘MODERN WARFARE’ creators Respawn Entertainment trademark ‘TITAN’
The minds behind Modern Warfare have yet to show the world their new IP, but the reveal inches closer. I’m pretty sure some Marketing Czar from EA said the studio would show something at EA, and now it comes out that they have registered a trademark for Titan.
Blizzard Job Listing Calls For ‘Product Placement’ In Next MMO
God knows when the new Blizzard MMO is going to drop. SWTOR is all the rage these days, and WoW’s getting set to drop their next expansion. You know, Mists of Kung-Fu Panda. Meanwhile they toil on in secrecy. Sort of. An inter-soul has found a Blizzard job listing, and uncovered that it mentions product placement.
Gulp!
Titan Gets A Sexy Infrared Close-Up. Cassini, You Pimp.
Check out this super bombad picture of Titan taken by Cassini back in August. You can see surface detail of the lovely rock, and it’s all thanks to the powers of infrared.
Monday Morning Commute: Liam Neeson’s Ghost
Welcome back to MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE! By the time you read this, you’ll most likely have completed your first day of the workweek and will be primed for some solid entertainment. But not if you work the graveyard shift. Which is a bummer, unless you actually work at the graveyard, `cause then you get to meet zombies and mad scientists and packs of goth kids playing Ouija!
In any case, I’m going to give you the rundown on some of the shit that’ll be keeping my spirits high over the course of the next week. Your mission – should you choose to accept it – is to hit up the comments and show which sidearms you’ll be using in this workweek showdown.
Blizzard’s Secret Game ‘Titan’ Is Called A Casual MMO.
Every MMO dork knows about Blizzard’s next MMO code named Titan. I sit, quietly lusting for it. I’m feigning for that shit. There’s been relatively little news about the project, but one analyst is predicting it to be a casual MMO. Yeah right.
Saturn’s Rings Slice The Skull Off Its Moon, Titan.
Titan’s Orbit Proves It Has A Giant Ocean Underneath It’s Surface? Gnarly!
Scientific Astronomical Gurus have done some wizardy science crunching and come to a tenuous and probably incorrect but awesome conclusion: Saturn’s moon, Titan, has a giant ass ocean underneath its surface.
Titan Has Methane Rainstorms and Floods. Awesome.
Saturn’s Rings Are Slicing Titan’s Throat.

That’s Saturn’s moon, Titan. Straight chillin’, balancing on top of Saturn’s gorgeous rings. Sort of. The powers of perspective, summoned! Consummated. But what is really interesting is how fucking thin Saturn’s rings are. Something I don’t really stop and contemplate. Well, I don’t contemplate much, but that’s obvious.
Blizzard Confirms “Titan” Is Their Next MMO. DO WANT.
I’m having a decent amount of fun in Cataclysm. It’s fun. But in the back of my mind I really fantasize about the next MMO from Blizzard. You know, one without Nintendo 64 graphics. My own graphics whoreness sort of bums me out, but I’m just keeping it real. So when Blizzard confirmed “Titan” as their next MMO, my balls sort of tingled.
You’ll recognize Titan is that mysterious game that appeared on a leaked Blizzard release schedule from a bit back. You know, the one that ended up with the Blizzard China CEO or whatever getting canned. If that wasn’t confirmation enough of the accuracy of the list, than these comments from WoW producer Frank Pearce should.
Joystiq:
In an interview with Destructoid, World of Warcraft producer Frank Pearce finally confirmed “Titan” as at least a codename for Blizzard’s new MMO projectd. “The media is not supposed to know anything about [Titan],” Pearce said with a smile. “It’s our next-gen MMO, and we’ve only started talking about it in a limited fashion because we wanna leverage the fact that we’re working on something like that for the purpose of recruiting, getting some of the best talent in the industry on that project.” Does “we made WoW” not work well enough for recruiting developers?
Do your balls tighten at the thought of a next-gen Blizzard MMO? God my constrict. Here’s hoping it’s in some sort of futuristic setting. I ain’t never played one of them Starcraft titles, but I’d be willing to love it.
