‘Warcraft’ TV Spot: War(craft) is coming, duh

I feel obligated to see this movie, given how much of my life Warcraft sucked up and spit out back in the day. How about you?

‘World of Warcraft’ subscriber base hits nine-year low

World of Warcraft.

I probably should have posted about this before Blizzard dropped their expansion announcement last week. But you know, moving. Sort of sucked up my energy. Anyways — WoW has seen its subscriber base drop to a nine-year low. I suppose you could view this negatively. Or you could appreciate the utter fucking lasting power of the franchise. Also, pause to appreciate that the game will definitely draw in former players (hi!) when the next expansion hits.

But then you consider that a) Blizzard doesn’t have an MMO to replace it, and b) the player population of the title is still fucking enormous a decade into its existence.

Woah: Blizzard cancels their next-gen MMO, ‘Titan’

Blizzard.

Woah then. Count this as something I wasn’t expecting. We’ve known for years that Blizzard was developing a new MMO. We knew that it was a bit of a troubled development. But I don’t think any of us knew it was headed towards cancellation.

TIME SINK: ‘World of Warcraft’ player reaches level cap without picking faction

World of Warcraft.

Here’s either  a) an incredible feat of gaming determination, b) the worst waste of time in WoW history, or both. I can’t imagine both the determination this required, and the amount of time that was burned accomplishing it. But to be fair, I generally do nothing myself and I have no cool claim to fame such as this.

‘WARLORDS OF DRAENOR’ is dropping this fall; digital preorders open. Perks Get!

WARLORDS OF DRAENOR.

Still on the fence about the next WoW expansion pack. I’ve played every one of them,  my interest diminishing with each installment. The time I spend in the expansion decreased, that Old Douchebag sentiment of yearning for bygone days spiking.
