Yup, Blizzard got hacked … so go change your passwords. I feel sorry for Blizz these days. First a failed D3 launch and now getting hacked. What’s next?
Gamers. You piss us off, we hack you. Click here to read the typical corporate sob story and apology http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/securityupdate.html.
I recently started using Steam when my WoW guild parted it’s ways for D3 but then that ultimately became a flop so we all just eneded up playing all different games but still wanted to keep in contact. Sure we have Vent, but I’m not always in the mood to hear people’s voices, so I started using Steam. Only problem I ran into Steam was you have to buy a game to use their friends client. Boooo. Lots of people told me they do it to keep out spammers, mmk yea whatever; believe that if you want to. There’s a gajillion other ways to keep out spammers for free.But anyway, I looked in their list of games and saw that they all started from $4.99. I don’t know about anyone else but I don’t particularly like throwing my money away from a game I won’t even play just to use their friends client, essentially meaning you’re paying $5 to use it. I tried doing it with a free game but that didn’t work and the Polish proxy route didn’t work either. No matter what search criteria I used in Steam, it always started with a $5 game … I remained vigilant and found a way to “almost” get the Steam friends client free or at least without paying too much. They have only ONE game for 99 cents, called Fortix; the rest are $1.99 and above. Is it a good game? I don’t know and I don’t care because I haven’t played it, but just pay 99 cents for Fortix and you’re in the client, so it doesn’t matter if the game blows or not. Here’s the link and have fun.

If your boss walks by just make sure you have your Boss Button ready
Just landed a position with Activision Blizzard tech support for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 … how sick is that? Finally the first step towards my degree in media arts. The only direction to go now is up! Probably will be the first job in a long time that will be EPIC! FINALLY all those hours of World of Warcraft have paid off LOLOLOLOL!
🙁 Nothing for Virginia yet. Tried to logon but I guess the servers haven’t come online yet because I’m still getting the old PSN is under maintenance message that I’ve been getting for a month now /cry
It did however download the firmware update on it’s own so when it does come online, I’m going to make it my duty to be the first in Virginia.
THAT’s what I’m talkin bout!!
I need another game console to stream movies to a TV in another room so I was debating between an XBox or a Wii. So I got this free beta key for Age of Empires Online Beta which took me to the XBox Live web site and come to find out Microsoft CHARGES for online access for their console? Even Netflix. You pay $9.99 a month to Microsoft for their minimum plan or whatever AND then you have to pay your Netflix subscription fee of $9.99!! What the hell? Did more research and found out that Microsoft is THE ONLY BRO who has a monthly charge for their online access. Wii and PS3 do not charge; they’re completely free other than paying the one time fees or the subscriptions to apps, games and movies that you use.
Hey Steve Ballmer, now I know why they call it the “XBox” … cause I WON’T be buying it! Putting a big fat “X” right through it on my shopping list!
Alas, Anseis earns his wings (Avenging Wrath). This all I made a pally for and I could probably stop at level 72 just to pop it cuz it looks so cool. But onward to 80! (and then 85)
