A maker of bot software for World of Warcraft—apps that auto-play characters and level them up—has lost a judgment that shuts down its operation. The bot maker also owes $7 million to Blizzard Entertainment, and it's asking those who used bots like "Pocket Gnome" to chip in.
Find the quest giver! The latest patch for Mists of Pandaria dropped last night and the days after a major content patch always mean pure chaos. This is the Timeless Isle, one of the new zones in the game, and the only thing that you can clearly see is that the screenshot was taken on a PvE server.

A chat log in which a Chinese gamer discussed his one-night stands has gone viral in China. In the chat log, the gamer dished on sleeping with several female guild members.
