Pulling WoW gamers from their PC’s, isn’t that a huge mistake?

Blizzard thinks its time for World of Warcraft players to get out of the virtual world, move to another place and get right back in the virtual world. Last week Blizzard announced it will be organizing worldwide e-sports tournaments for their followers. Players will be killing their opponent in arena environments. 

Planning to host various playstyles Blizzard will first organize 3-versus-3 tournaments in arena style. Separate servers will be set up where players will receive a level 70 character with kickass gear. This way skill will be more important then gear.

The tournaments will start with preliminary rounds in April this year. To compete players will have to move their asses IRL to locations in Europe, North America, South Korea, Taiwan and Macao.

Blizzard also announced the winner of the world finals will be awarded 75.000 dollars. Sweet.

An old picture of a Nefarian kill. Back in the days when I was still a WoW addict.

An American woman who cannot cope with the death of her dog is seeking ways for her deceased pitbull to be cloned. The South Korean Biotech Company RNL Bio has sent the woman an offer to clone her dog Booger for 150.000.

The woman, Bernann McKunney from California, was especially fond of the dog, because it had saved her life once when she was attacked by another dog. Though the other dog did manage to bite her arm off.

The poor animal died one and  a half years ago. Mrs. McKunney had tissue from Booger’s ear frozen in by an American biotech firm. Now certain cells will be removed from from that tissue and injected in canine reproductive cells. These will be injected in 8 pitbull bitches.

According to RNL Bio, the success rate for cloning the dog is expected to be around 25 percent. Never before has a dog been cloned for commercial purposes.

If successful the South Korean company expects multiple additional orders for their technique. Demand is supposed to grow in the coming years. When this happens the price for a cloned dog can be lowered to 50.000 dollars.

The police in California have arrested a man they suspected of making over 27.000 prank phone calls to the 911 emergency services.  During these calls he treated the emergency workers to bodily noises, murmur and other weird stuff.

When found guilty of these matters, the 45-year-old John Triplette from Hayward, North-California, might be fined for 1.000 dollars and/or receive a 6 to 12 months jail sentence.

Triplette made all his 27.000 calls over the course of nine months time.  It all started with calling in lame jokes in May 2007.  At the height of his idiot adventure he bombarded the Hayward emergency services with 1.327 prank calls in one week.

Triplette has apologized for all the annoying stuff he put the services through. But why did he do it in the first place? ” Because it is a free number “, the jackass said.
