As a fan of League of Legends, I feel a bit guilty for not playing for at least a month. I haven’t even read about the last two heroes. However, what’s important is that other people are playing and some of these other people happen to be a Congressman taking a stand against SOPA right [ READ MORE ]

With the recent announcement of a new World of Warcraft expansion, Blizzard has confirmed my belief that their transformation from a cult game company to a mainstream one is complete. Blizzard wants to be the Disney of video games now. Also, they also want to move their sinking (subscription numbers wise) flagship to shallow water [ READ MORE ]
Blizzard has caused quite a stir when they announced that players will be able to purchase Diablo 3 items of real money.

Activision axes more studios and cancels all titles except Call of Duty. I guess Blizzard is going to be the only breadwinner in this unhappy marriage. Later in the day, Activision’s COOThomas Tippl tried to calm investors down by saying: If we don’t see any games from Blizzard this year, the publisher expects to see [ READ MORE ]
Now, it’s not the 90′s but some directories can hold their own: Yahoo!‘s original directory, DMOZ, and Best of the Web (BOTW).
