From: Warcraft Anniversary Interview

IGN: Warcraft’s unique in another way. It’s remained a PC exclusive franchise for a very long time. What’s your commitment to the PC platform and what are the chances of seeing Warcraft move off the desktop and onto other gaming platforms?

Shane Dabiri: Well, we don’t have anything to announce as far as other platforms but we actually got our start in gaming working on console games — Lost Vikings, Blackthorne, Rock ‘n Roll Racing. All those games were console. We were pretty successful with PC games when we first went to Warcraft the RTS. Since then we’ve been committed to it, and we’re still committed to it and continue to be committed to it in the future.

This is AWESOME! RIP Pandemic…

One of my co-workers, who I consider a friend, recently decided to give WoW a try. As a MMO veteran it’s easy to forget that the basic foundation of a MMO can be daunting to a player completely new to this type of game or games in general. Spells, fighting, questing, tradeskills, vendors, trainers, fishing, mounts?, omg overload!!!

Thus, I pointed her to WoW.com’s most excellent rookie guide. I encourage anyone who’s new to WoW or has a friend just getting into the game, to point them there as well.

Thanks, WoW.com!

WoW.com Rookie Guide

We haven’t played MWII, we actually have personally decided not to support the game (see Episode I for details on that), but that’s not to say that it’s a bad game. In fact, I would guess that it’s a very good game.

This kid, however, has a different opinion.

Warning: NSFW!

Jesse and Michelle discuss what games they’re playing, recent Halloween events, L4D2 Demo, Modern Warfare 2, and more.
