dedicated fan builds azeroth in minecraft






All i can say is WoW... get it? A dedicated WoW (world of warcraft) fan and minecraft fan put together this amazing creation. For anyone who doesn't know its a town from the game world of warcraft, this town alone must have  taken weeks to build to detail like that. The man who build this Rumsey says hes developing a custom software that automates the creation of the rest of the world. His intentions are to finish all of azeroth, and we all know that was the only time WoW was any good anyways. He said his creation is probably going to end up on Cursecraft but its not 100% decided yet. I know i would be more than happy to run around in azeroth again but this time be all blocky and pixely.

xbox 360... touchscreen tablet controller???

The next gen xbox might follow in the footsteps of the Wii U and offer a touchscreen tablet controller, according to a rumor from the most recent issue of Xbox World Magazine.


Microsoft is reportedly experementing with  a "tablet like touch-screen controller simillar to Sony's PS Vita in design".The magazine reports that in addition to the HD screen with touchscreen controls the controller includes traditional xbox 360 buttons and sticks.I'm sure your wondering what this could really be used for, the magazine reports that , "It could be a remote control when you're watching TV, a browser when you're on the Internet, extra buttons and information when you're playing a game, or a portable display when you want to take your game with you." Its safe to assume that the touchscreen will drive the price of the new console up, and possibly over the $500 range, yay my favorite thing to hear.I personally don't think too highly of the idea i mean imagine playing call of duty or gears of war and your fingers on the "joystick" and oops your finger slides on the screen and your dead. I think its going to be ignored by most people if they do put it out, and will just be a fun way of driving the price up greatly.Let me know what you guys think of the whole tablet display in the comments.

gaming backround and diablo 3

Is anyone else out there as excited for Diablo 3 as i am? I don't think its possible.As far as gaming goes i started when i was really young, Pokemon yellow on the gameboy color <3. Since then i have gotten into more complex games, starting with WoW. I played it since a month or two after release date and did what most people do, "no lifed it". Probably 10 hours a day minimum were spent sitting playing computer games, talking to nobody but my fellow hordies, lame i know. Eventually cataclysm came around, and that's when i called it quits for WoW. After a few months of being bored out of my mind i turned to LoL, and when that got boring i tried the "WoW killer" Swtor... didn't even come close. Now that diablo 3 is on its way its got me very excited,  I read that blizzard is targeting a Q2 release date, that means any time from this April to June is when we can be expecting the long wait to end. That's it for this post, id love to hear your feedback, what games do you play, is there any your waiting for, and do you have faith in blizzard really releasing during Q2?

computer/LoL

This blog is mainly going to be about my one true love, the only one i truly care about, and that is my laptop. I own an Asus g73sw, when i bring this big bulky monster of a laptop outside of my house i get a lot of negative comments about how bulky it is blah blah blah, an extra bit of size/weight isn't an issue to me when i can run WoW, Swtor, LoL, and many other games at 60+fps on max video settings, 5 times over, and your super thin macbook air for the same price can..... go on facebook. Not to say theres anything wrong with mac's or any other operating system you may use, I've just got a thing for windows when it comes to gaming. As far as gaming goes, lately I've only been playing League of Legends, which for those of you who don't know it's an RTS game, that i personally consider to be one of the, if not the best out at the moment. For those of you who do know what league is, i generally stick to ranked 3v3 or normal 3's and some solo queue ranked 5's (lol). My elo for 3's was floating some were around 1500, and my team was ranked 497 last time i checked, my solo queue 5's rating is something to laugh at, kinda stuck in the always mentioned "elo hell". Well that's it for this post, if you bothered to read and have any questions/suggestions i would love to hear from you guys/gals so leave a comment.
