Mr. T and William Shatner are the stars of a new Blizzard advertisment campaign, (hmm they need to advertise with the number of subscribers they have, now well over nine million).
Now WoW has never really interested me, the only MMO that has really caught my eye is Stargate Worlds (that’s only because I’m a Stargate fan). Never theless these ad’s are interesting and some what humerous.
You can check them out here.
That’s right I am now a free man meaning that all of my schooling for the year is over. Alot has happened in the gaming world since I stopped blogging earlier in the year.
We have seen the release of several massive games, Halo 3, World in Conflict (A game that has been on my eyes since I played it for the first time at GO3), the graphic redefining FPS Crysis and an old friend comes to the modern day. That of course being Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
Now that I am free I have alot more time on my hands to concentrate on blogging, and time to work a few new projects that I have lined up to start in the new year (These are very exciting).
Not to mention all the free time I have to catch up on gaming and playing these new games. First one for me to play through will be Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, which utilises the Wii’s revolutionary controls in ways never before seen.
Then there is next year we have to look forward to, where I am sure we will be seeing many many more amazing games. Expect an expansion pack for Crysis since it turns out that this is merely the first part of what will be an interesting Trilogy. Along with many new games.
Yes I have pretty much vacated my blog for the time being… To pursue better school marks in my final year. I thought I would just let those of you who still check back know.
Don’t worry though this is by no means the end of this site and my blogging, I have a few things lined up to take place in about 5-6 months, once school is all over.
That’s right!! The first episode of the second season of Pure Pwnage will be out any time now. I thought I would take a glance over at the PP site to see what is happening and check the noob store out. When I noticed that the 13th episode is due to come out any time today.
You can also now order some new shirts and the boxset DVD’s of the first season.
Keep checking the PurePwnage site to see when the new Episode comes out as a specific time has not been given.
nVidia (my favourite GPU company) just announced that they will be releasing their latest beast to us on the 15th of May.
And it packs a punch performing anywhere between 10-15% better than the previous king of cards the 8800GTX.
Keep your out for it in 12 days (May 15th) for the 768mb 8800Ultra.

With the ability to download old school retro Nintendo games via the Wii’s Virtual Console (VC), has come the need of a new controller, the Classic Controller was born. Nintendo launched the Classic controller with the Wii several months ago.
I personally think that the VC is a really smart thing that Nintendo have incorporated into the Wii, letting them sell their old games to us again. Great marketing strategy.
However this review is not about the VC (although it is very much related) but rather the classic controller. I honestly don’t like it! The first time I picked it up I thought wow this is really uncomfortable and not ergonomic at all. I would of expected Nintendo to of put some effort into making the controller ergonomic and comfortable to hold for extended periods of play. It seems however that they are not worrying about it.
Another thing, I think that they could have had the cable that connects it to the Wii remote come out of the top of the controller and not the bottom, then it could flow from the top of the classic controller into the bottom of the Wii remote, this is only a minor let down.
Nintendo could of put more effort into the design of the controller after all it will keep us playing on it for longer. Another thing that is rather poor about the Classic Controller is, how it can sometimes get the neutral positions messed up during loadings. (Usually happens if you are accidentally leaning on the controller or moving the thumb pads whilst loading). At least there is a way to fix this, all you have to do is hold the + button,- button, a button and b button at the same time for three seconds. This will then reset the controller to be neutral.
Put this out of your mind and the Classic controller does exactly what it is suppose to do, let you play the old school retro games that you can download via the VC. The controls on the thumb pad seem to be very accurate and smooth to use in all the games I have played.
Another neat thing about the Classic Controller is you can use it instead of the Wii remote to navigate the channels, which is really great if you are laying down playing Wii or don’t feel like flailing your arms around all the time.
An awesome trailer for Call of Duty 4 has just been released. It looks awesome, lets hope that it won’t be like CoD 3 and miss the PC, because from what is shown in the trailer it is very impressive. All of a sudden the whole idea of CoD leaving the WWII arena doesn’t look so bad.

Due to an interview in PCGZine, a new release date for WiC has emerged. I was originally told by Andy from Sierra that the game would be out towards the end of the year, in time for Christmas. It now appears that it will be out on the 29th of June. Which means that we could expect an open beta really soon.
You can Download the latest PCGZine (at present it is the one with the interview) via my affliate link below.
Issue 5 of PCGZine the free magazine for PC gamers is out now. As usual there is some great content within the pages of the eZine.
