Why I Play World of Warcraft
Oh, not me specifically. I don't play World of Warcraft. But I am powerful curious as to why millions and millions of people sink money into the Blizzard moneymaker year after year for a game that you can never win.

Blizzard Celebrates World Of Warcraft's 4th Anniversary With Baby Bears
Four years ago today (November 23rd), Blizzard threw open the doors to Azeroth and then quickly shut them, opening and closing them several times until they were sure they had enough servers to handle the massive rush of players eager to enter the World of Warcraft.

Happy 9th Birthday Dreamcast!
Nine years ago today Sega introduced the little engine that couldn't quite to North American shores.

It gave us Soul Calibur, one of the greatest console fighting games of all time, Jet Grind Radio, which introduced the world to cel-shading, and Seaman, which completely creeped an entire generation the f*** out.
