Last month, Blizzard was caught up in something of a backlash, after they promoted the antics of George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher, screening a rather pathetic homophobic rant at Blizzcon, and holding him up as a model player. Suffice it to say, Blizzard were forced to apologise: Dear members of the Blizzard community, I have read your feedback and comments about this year’s BlizzCon, and I have also read the feedback to the apology from Level 90 Elite Tauren Chieftain. I’d [...] I keep seeing this advert at the moment. Cisco’s David Hsieh, talking about the future: Update: Whoops. Darn thing autoplays. I’ll put it after the fold. [...] (Update: As of the 19th of January, the website seems to have returned to life. I guess someone finally remembered to pay their domain registration fee!) This won’t come as any great surprise to those who followed my posts on Lordcraft: World of LordCraft – Evony decides to take on Blizzard World of LordCraft – Don’t Play, My Lord. To recap, it was an Evony-clone (I believe by the same people who make Evony) that “borrowed” liberally from World of [...] I saw this for the first time earlier while watching some MSNBC online, which likes to give me US advertising, and felt compelled to track it down to show you. Nice timing on your advert, Charmin Ultra. If there’s anything that America needs to see more of at the moment, it is fish flopping around in brown muck. Who needs wetlands anyway? Maybe you could donate a few tonnes of your amazingly absorbent tissue to clean up the blasted [...] Shipping containers. They’re ubiquitous, be they filled with frozen lamb, children’s clothing, or some plastic crap destined for Walmart. Or are they filled with doom? Beware, as from now on, shipping containers are… MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE! Somewhere in Russia, a new plot is born. Well, not so much a plot as a marketing video for weapons of doom from munitions firm Novator. It has better production values than most Saturday morning cartoon shows. Seriously, who decided [...] Stephenie Meyer, the author of the Twilight series, was not dead in April when last the rumour went around, and she is not dead now either. Seriously, internets, stop saying people are dead when they’re not. The only reason I care about this is that I have a number of friends who ill-advisedly buy into the whole Twilight thing, and every time she dies they get terribly upset, and insist on telling me about it. Though it does kind of [...] While socialised medicine is considered with great mistrust in the US, here in the UK, no political party would dare to suggest that the dear old NHS should be replaced. Unless, of course, they didn’t think anyone from Britain would notice. In this clip, UK Conservative, MEP Daniel Hannan, holds court with the crown prince of right-wing crazy, Glenn Beck. You would not think it to listen to Hannan and his FOX friends, but we do actually also have [...] |
