Watch: WoW’s Leeroy Jenkins Reimagined As A Heist Flick
If you’re reading this site, you know the tale of Leeroy Jenkins. Director Finn O’Hara has taken the classic meme and cast it into the mold of a heist flick. Pretty awesome stuff, though you wouldn’t know it from the YouTube comments.
WoW Sheds Another 100,000 Subscribes. Drops In A Bucket Add Up Eventually, No?
WoW has an unfathomable amount of subscribers, but the MMO to End All MMOs continues to shed them like a colonic-and-amphetamine-powered winter weight loss program. Or something. It makes sense to me.
‘Diablo III’ Senior Producer Quit. JESUS CHRIST F**K NUTS.
Diablo III. The unicorn whose horn I need deep, deep, deep inside of me continues to elude. Sitting in the shadows. Last week it was announced shit balls of core systems were getting gutted. Balls! Slithering balls! Then the game’s senior producer quit. WTF, mate.
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!
Fetus Donates Stem Cells To Heal Mother’s Heart. Pay Dat Forward!
How is this for some goddamn mind boggling bullshit. The curious case of a mouse fetus donating stem cells to help repair its mother’s heart. That’s some altruism right there, if I ever seen it.
World of Warcraft Subscriptions Down 10%, Still Sports Bulging User Base.
You know an MMO is enormous when it can shed 10% of its user base and still have a raging community. Such is the life of WoW, the Eternal Juggernaut of the MMO realm. As the news portends however, slowly the community is sloughing off its addiction.
Video: Next World of Warcraft Expansion: ‘Mists of Pandaria’ Confirmed. Pandas. LOL.
I don’t know if it’s amazing or sad that WoW has been milked so much that the next expansion pack is taking place in fucking Kung-Fu Panda. And I don’t know if I’ll be playing it because I am sad, or perhaps I revel in the absurdity/stupidity.
Hit the jump for the debut trailer.
Rumor: Next WoW Expansion Has Been Named. I Am Oddly..Unpsyched.
The next World of Warcraft expansion has apparently been named. In late July, they registered a trademark for what many are assuming is the next expansion, and I wish I could bring myself to be a bit excited.
Press Start!: Zynga To Buy Gold Farming Prison Camps!
You can almost smell the sizzling scent of frying flesh on this forthcoming long weekend. Or uh, tofu if you’re of the vegetarian assort! Whatever it is, hell yeah motherfuckers! Welcome to the pretty much fucking Memorial Day edition of Press Start! The column that spits on the five things in the world of gaming that caught my eye this week.
The list is incomplete, based on whimsy, and structured in a way to encourage your participation. Let’s fucking dance!
Play World of Warcraft With Kinect? Uh! Yeah! [No. Srsly. No.]
Finally the dream I’ve been waiting to become reality. I don’t want to just feel like a retard while I’m playing World of Warcraft. No. I want to look like one. Alright, you got me. More like one. Now I can with this Kinect hack. Who doesn’t want to waggle their arms, lean forward, lean back, and other things to control their WoW character? Probably everyone! We’re fat, and gelatinous. By and large. We like the sitting.
Hit the jump to see a dude play WoW with Kinect, which makes it look a lot like aerobics.
