Starcraft 2? - 4.27.2007

Has Starcraft 2 been in the works this whole time?

According to a Korean website, Starcraft 2 will be announced at Blizzard's World Wide Invitational in South Korea loaded with screenshots and even video demos. Some may be skeptical because of the Korean sources, but Starcraft players must be aware that a huge percent (I'm talkin' a HUGE percent) of the players are in Korea.

It's been confirmed that Blizzard has invited over 100 international media and has prepared both Seoul Olympic Gymnastics Stadium and Fencing Stadium for this event. Also, on February 28th, Mike Morhaime (Blizzard president), stated that, "At the WWI in May, there will be a surprise announcement".

So, come May 19th, 2007, don't be surprised to see Starcraft 2 screenshots and videos ALL OVER the interwebz.

WoW Gets Nerdier...ier? - 4.26.2007

Oh joy...

"If you've ever wondered what it would be like to walk a mile in your character's shoes, there's no better place to indulge that fantasy than the Renaissance Faire. Stroll through bustling markets full of merchants eagerly hawking their wares, witness breathtaking displays of swordsmanship, or enjoy fine food and drink while one of the many troupes performing at the faire entertains you."

Renaissance Entertainment Productions is now organizing several Renaissance events across the U.S. and WoW players get a 20% discount!! The first event will be the Renaissance Pleasure Faire in southern California. So, hurry and order your tickets now, before they are all sold out!!
