TAG RESULTS FOR: world

You’ve probably been to or seen gimmicky restaurants such as the Rainforest Cafe. These places charge top dollar for mediocre food and service in a ridiculous environment. A new restaurant in Beijing is no exception. Themed after his favorite MMORPG: World of Warcraft, this Beijing native wanted to create a comfortable gathering place for fellow WoW enthusiasts. The entrance is a real-life recreation of the opening animation from the game, displaying the dark portal on two large swaying doors. The... Continue reading

Yes, I’m playing this game right now and yes, it rules. It’s the best of both worlds. You get all of the goodness of a classic Nintendo game, without the Nintendo. At the same time, you take on the role of our future president, Barack Obama, as he stomps any conservative daring enough to stand in his way. Link [via]

It seems like you can make a Guinness World Record out of any feat these days. Last year, 381 Australian kids set the Guinness World Record for simultaneous Nintendo DS playing. I wonder if there’s a Guinness World Record for most people standing around in Times Square with a thumb in their ass. Tomorrow, members of a UK DS fan group called DSLondon are going to take a crack at breaking last year’s simultaneous Nintendo DS playing record. DSLondon hopes... Continue reading

Some people who play World Of Warcraft have more friends in-game than in the real world. Typically, when one has built up enough friends online, they form a guild. Once everyone has decided on a guild tabard, it’s time to show off a little guild pride by flaunting the virtual garment around a virtual city. But what if your guild tabard wasn’t a virtual garment? What if it were as real as any other shirt? That’s the idea behind the... Continue reading

Yesterday, the LEGO World event began. To promote the event Leon Krijgsman of Jetix (more X-Men, please) rolled through the streets of Amsterdam in this LEGO Ferrari F1. This automobile is made up of 80,000 LEGO bricks and that’s not counting the LEGO pit crew who maintain it. The event will be held in Zwolle until the 21st and will demonstrate some of the most innovative projects regarding LEGOs. Perhaps we’ll see more LEGO automobiles or maybe even another tower...

It’s a no-brainer that some people play WoW a little too much. MMORPGs have always been about investing an insane amount of time to develop your character. We won’t ridicule forum-goer Gamer Prepared who runs 36 accounts of World of Warcraft because after all, that requires a serious gaming rig. What better way to eliminate the entire purpose of playing in a MMORPG community full of other players by playing with only yourself. Finding a guild is just too hard... Continue reading

Sometimes a normal mouse just won’t cut it. When you’re going to be spending the next three weeks of your life farming gold because you’ve already reached the max level in World Of Warcraft, you’re going to need a mouse that’s not going to flake out on you. Enter SteelSeries’ new World Of Wacraft themed gaming mouse. It’s got the armor of an armadillo with the mass confusion that encompasses 15 programmable buttons. It also offers 16 million variations of... Continue reading

Found on It’s Nice That, this shoe looks like boatloads of fun. Gives the classic slip-on Vans a new meaning, eh? Link

Many of you World Of Warcraft addicts have been waiting for this moment for a long, long time. It’s the moment where logging on to play your character doesn’t leave you with a fruitless goal of doing nothing more than obtaining gear because now, once again, the level cap will be raised. That means more grinding which will then lead to more talent points and those points will lead to more kills in PvP. Wrath of the Lich King has... Continue reading

You don’t have to look far to find acts of extreme dorkiness on the internet. The folks of Mana Energy Potion have hooked up treadmills to their PCs, indirectly promoting a new Olympic event, one that all gamers can appreciate regardless of athletic finesse. The event I speak of is of course the Azeroth cross country track competition. One virtual World Of Warcraft mile boils down into half of a real mile and these geeks are going to run across...
