IRL ganking

May 2, 2007 at 22:18 · Filed under World of Warcraft

Electronics and computer video game chat can cause trouble. Please watch what you say to people online. PC games are just that, games.

Mexico City, Mexico-(MH)-Mexican World of Warcraft player Bronco Carson reported to local police on Saturday that 3 men broke into his home and beat his arms with clubs and smashed his computer. It was supposedly in retaliation for Carson stalking and repeatedly killing one of the attackers wife?s character during computer video game play.

Carson admitted to police that he had been ?making it hard for her to get far in the game.? He said that after repeated online threats from the woman, she sent her husband and friends over to his house to ?take care of him.? Carson later said that he had made the mistake of telling her where he lived and ?if her husband was man enough to just come meet me to settle this.?

2 weeks leading up to the assault he said he had been harassed by a few characters constantly during game play. ?I knew that I might be messed with in the game but I didn?t really expect her husband to come looking for me. I couldn?t have been more wrong.?

Carson suffered 2 broken fingers and a fractured wrist during the assault. They also destroyed his computer and entertainment center before leaving. No arrests have been made in connection with the assault.

Not much to say about this really… both the “wife” and the ganker are idiots. The ganker a bit more so.

VR Defender Y3K, tower defense

April 30, 2007 at 21:35 · Filed under Flash, Tower defense

I was pleased to find a new tower defense game available today, and naturally I’ve taken it out for a spin. It’s challenging from round 1 and while I haven’t gotten past round 42, I feel confident that the right tactic can take you a very long way on this one. As always there’s a few calculations to be done concerning damage per resource… but I digress. This one is definitely one for the bookmarks!

It’s a weekday that has no particular meaning! That means it’s time for a couple of links I have lying around.

Xbox 360 Elite released

April 30, 2007 at 10:07 · Filed under Hardware, Console, Xbox 360

Happy Elite release day! This is a fair odd happening in the world of gaming: an updated console coming out around a year and a half after the first version. All consoles go through revisions, but hardware with more storage and added connection options? I’m not sure if that’s ever happened before. I showed up at a local big box retailer, picked up the system, noticed no one else in line, and went on my merry way.

On buying gold

April 29, 2007 at 12:12 · Filed under Farming, World of Warcraft, YouTube

The guys at BBC have made a very short story on buying and selling gold in World of Warcraft, with two very short interviews with a buyer and a seller. In the beginning they seem a bit scornful, but towards the end the clip seems positive towards buying and selling gold. Yuck! Read the rest of this entry »
