I LOL’d Comments

I know it may sound ridiculous, but, oh my, peta keeps surprising me. What am I going to write about? WoW. You’re probably wondering what’s the hell does that have to do with peta. Well I’ll tell you what.

I don’t even know how to start. er- Since I am subscribed to peta e-mails as every good citizen who kind of thinks they should protect nature, but at the same time don’t care enough to do very much about it but read about how other people do it, I’ve got a rather interesting letter today. “Help Battle Seal Slaughterers in World of Warcraft!” was the line i spotted before routinely closing the window. WHOA. All I can say is you can find the information once you click a link above.

I don’t know whether I should laugh or cry, but all the same, I’m kind of proud of all the people who come up with new interesting ideas and ways to promote what they believe in.  

 

PS the coments there are rather silly.

Xbox rumours. Comments

According to Fudzilla, Xbox reaction to the new economic state might be recalling xbox 360 elite’s from market and only sell it in limited edition packages such as Resident Evil 5 themed special edition of the console, since the ps3 prices are to be cut and will most likely fall below those of xbox, which hardware configuration is considered to be “weaker”.  Elite appears to be the slowest sold model and the majority of people who wants it, ask specifically for it. Therefore Microsoft is deciding that fewer retailers, if any, should have the model.

Those limited editions though are rumored to have a bigger hard drives and possibly few stat increases.

According to the sources, the rumor will be investigated further, as at the moment there are no definite details. But then again, other things like pegging the announcement of DirectX 11 and cutbacks were said by Microsoft to be “exaggerated”.

                                   

  I suppose we shall see.      

Little Big Planet – How they like it in Europe. Comments

We all know about Little Big Planet – the ps3 exclusive that uses ps3 to its capacity, not like a lot of other games, which are lazily made. Well,  in my opinion, any way.

But as this game hit America, it also hit Europe. And, like in everything else, they like to be somewhat extravagant. Here’s an ad for it:

 From what I got, some two kids made a Fart Planet and are going through a bum mountain level, including the sound effects and in the end, Sackboy gets shot out of the ass (:

Well, that is certainly interesting. I lol’d.

WoW laced with crack. Or worse. Who knows. Comments

As of some time ago,  WoW has been officially declared an addiction, or a “drug”. Not only this, but according to Sweden’s Youth Care Foundation it  is also a ‘key addiction” among gamers. As the message is obviously not convincing enough in itself, Mr. Rollenhagen declared, “It is the crack cocaine of the computer game world.”

One of the basis of their announcement was an event that occured a week after the new expansion came out. A 15-year-old boy from western Sweden collapsed and went into convulsions on Sunday afternoon after playing the World of Warcraft for 20 hours straight. After the even was made public, thousands of parental calls were made to the association. The foundation says that in 2007, it received 2,000 calls to its addiction helpline, 170 of which concerned computer games. Presumably, all 170 calls involved World of Warcraft. According to their speaker she has seen a “steady rise in computer game addiction, with most cases stemming from those playing online fantasy games such as World of Warcraft and Counter Strike.”

WoW might not be just a game, it might be laced with drugs, which evil Blizzard enforces on our children. For parents of those, I have two words: “Parental Control”. Don’t blame the game, blame yourself. As a responsible parent, you should learn that your child plays World of Warcraft beforehand, not postfactum. Especially if you’re the one paying for it. Then, don’t leave it hanging and set up parental controls on your child’s account, don’t assume a 15-year-old would know the limits. Pay attention to what your kid is doing before they collapse in epileptic shock.  

Crack? I think not!
