Star wars Old Republic
One of the most awesome game cinematics I’ve ever seen, but still doesn’t beat Blizzard cinematics for some reason! The feeling and the sound is lacking a bit but still awesome nontheless! Check it out …

IPRED and the new media-maffia order!
Let me skip ahead a couple of weeks/months/years from now and see how this new law serves its purpose.
The only ones that are going to benefit from this are companies that provide anonymity services. People will buy these services and continue to share content, they will encrypt traffic, use IP-blockers, and encrypt their drives. People will boycott and the music / movie industry will still lose money. I mean I used to spend at least 1000 SEK (Swedish crowns) on buying music/services/going to the cinema per month. You think I’ll be doing that now?
Many internet sites reported that the traffic in Sweden dropped by 30% yesterday when the law was introduced, what they totally missed in their sensational journalism was that the traffic is actually higher than it used to be 4 months ago. And by the media -mobs logic, shouldn’t their revenue gone up by 30%? In their last trial they tried to convince the judges that every movie illegally shared is a loss to them on a 1:1 ratio.
It’s a shame, a damn shame that the Swedish government is caving to the media-mob lobby. I guess I could blame it on the right-winged coalition but I wont steep that low.
People are willing to pay for options, if the companies can’t see that then it’s their loss, not ours. How about I don’t get treated like a criminal everytime I go to the cinema and have to sit and endure a lecture about pirating? I mean I’m the “good guy” here paying for my shit, right? Or how about when I buy/rent a dvd I don’t have to see that disclaimer screen with a 1 minute pause telling me that I suck for downloading?
This whole “debate” if you can call it that is not about my right to download movies or not. It’s about the concept of internet being marginalized by reactionary governments where we will be forced back the golden ages of television. A smaller amount of producer-elites will be feeding “information” to the bigger consumer mass, and then we can live happily ever after in our ignorance.
Doing a referendum on this subject would most likely lead to the law being revoked, but we can’t have that in this sham democracy we live in. IPRED and FRA got through, what’s next? PKU? ACTA? IPRED2?
April 1st!
This year Blizzard actually outdid themselves, and that’s pretty hard to do since they always spend such a huge time on their April first jokes!
Check this year’s jokes out!
Check out the TERRATRON! 
“From the writings of Abd al-Hazir”, also they announced the Archivist, a new Diablo 3 class.

The act of jubilant self-expression through dancing has long been an integral part of World of Warcraft’s social interactions. Now it’s been taken to a whole new level with the new Dance Battle system, coming to the game in an upcoming content patch. Combining elements of Arena competition with the dynamism and creativity of coordinated, player-controlled dance animations, Dance Battles offer a whole new kind of crew-versus-crew challenge.
So you think you can dance?
From the interdimensional fortress known as Tempest Keep, Kael’thas Sunstrider has issued a challenge far and wide to dance crews throughout Kalimdor, the Eastern Kingdoms, and Northrend — in order to find out who is Azeroth’s best dance crew!
He’s handpicked his judges from nearby Area 52 in Outland and retrofitted his flying fortress for its new purpose — to host a series of exhilarating dance-offs. He’s also relocated his fiery, faithful companion A’lar and retooled the phoenix’s chamber to accommodate the competition. It’s here that your crew will find the NPC dancemasters, who will allow you to initiate a dance-off or accept another crew’s challenge.
You’d better bring it!
You perform dance moves using a custom interface similar to those that appear when controlling a vehicle in Wrath of the Lich King. The custom action bar displays all available dance moves, which each crew member can individually configure by speaking to the appropriate NPC before the competition.
Next, your crew will need to create their routine. To practice, simply select a backing track, and the music will begin after a brief countdown. The best routines are carefully planned out in advance and executed with individual skill as well as with an overall group dynamic in mind.
Warstomp the yard
Once engaged in a Dance Battle, simply select the dance move you wish to perform, and your character will execute it. As with the Arena system, close communication and teamwork is crucial — you’ll have to be in sync, both with the music as well as with the other members of your crew, to become the “server” and not the “servee.”

Tired of your mount looking like every other raptor, wolf, horse, kodo, or nightsaber out there? Want to spice it up with some armor plating, a few spikes or chains, or maybe even some flaming decals? Then Z to the A to the zzber (whew, that’s a mouthful!) will be glad to welcome you to his shop where you can epic-ize your mount with some phat total pimpage!
Coming in a future content patch, we plan to bring you a new feature that will allow you to alter the color, the armor, or add decorations to your in-game mounts. Simply drop in to Zazzber’s Local Fix-’Er-Up, pay a small fee, and leave your mount there overnight. The next morning, you’ll pick up a mount that is uniquely yours!
The Epic Pimpage
The process of pimping your tired old mount is quite simple. Drop by Zazzber’s local Fix-’Er-Up (available in Orgrimmar, Ironforge, and Dalaran with a very special PvP-oriented shop over in the phrigid lands of Wintergrasp) and talk to our resident mount pimp, Zazzber or his high-tech redneck assistant Janie Sue and, for a small fee, they’ll overhaul your hauler, tricking your tired old vehicle out into something worthy of the Achievement “Pimp My Mount.”
Still not convinced? Then check out some of our insanely satisfied customized-ers!
 It used to be that whenever I rode my horse past the Exodar, the other draenei laughed at me. “Silly girl,” they’d say, “get yourself a proper elekk!” But now, thanks to Z-dawg’s ultimate pimpage, those other goat-heads all wish their mounts were half as fly as this guy! |
 The other trolls, mon, used to think I was strange for preferrin’ my kodo to a raptor. But then my main man, Z, hooked me up with some upgrades to my sleek ride. I’ve got some shade even under the blazin’ beach sun over in Stranglethorn and my kodo? He’s pimpin’ it out with his superfly hat! |
Maybe coming back from the dead changed me; I’ll never know for sure. But all I know is that I’ve always loved my kitty-cat. Sure, the other death knights thought it was a little silly but now I fire up my cat’s phat nitro-boosters and blast those death knights on dead horses out of this life!
Godfather II trailer!
God I love this movie, so I will play the (probably) crappy game just so I can get that God father feeling again
