My name is Katiepuff and I'm a Blizzaholic.

I pulled together a bunch of my old Blizzard games and filled a good portion of a 20 gallon storage crate.

Virtual merchandise at Target

Wonder how well this stuff sells. Ethan really wanted to buy a Club Penguin card.

Street Fighter 4

I'm going to pre-order this (CE) when I get back home... 360 version, so I can play with Wil.


Need to figure out a joystick solution... Maybe this? http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-dd-49-en-70-36al.html

Update: Looks like MadCatz is coming out with a joystick in February 2009.

Uh oh, now I have a Dark Secret

So, apparently, corporate recruiters are being told specifically to avoid WoW players. Good thing I don't care about being part of the corporate rat race. Yesterday, I played some Starcraft with some potential business partners here in Seoul, so it's a good thing I work in the game industry. :)

Poor neglected KP is still only level 70.

Sony's PS3 Virtual World "Home" Plagued By Sex Fiends

It's sad but it's true from my experience.... One interesting thing about Home is that there are far fewer female avatars than in WoW.

Kombate Mexicano X

Was gtalking with Rodolfo from GDL, and he sent me these hilarious Mexican video game links... I especially like the ex-president's "crush you under my finger" special attack.

Xbox Live Avatar

Made mine, updated, and watched the latest Indiana Jones DivX off a memory stick plugged in the USB of the 360. Thinking about finally getting around to playing Gears of War. Maybe Ethan wants to do co-op...

MAG Interview:

Sony has filed a new patent describing a new Playstation 3 controller that employs "hybrid video capture and ultrasonic tracking." 

http://darkzero.co.uk/game-news/first-look-at-possible-sony-break-apart-controller-shown-in-patent-images/
This comment was pretty funny:

Sony press release:

Step 1: If your genitals resemble our new break-apart controller then please consult your local GP.

Step 2: Inform your doctor that your man-bits are infringing our copyright

Step 3: You now have the choice of having the offending article removed, or having your dongle branded with the Sony logo.

Step 4: Play safe!

Abu Dhabi

The conference next week which I can't make... :(

In order to enrich the event even further, we established the Interactive Media Circle (IMC), which includes panels and an exhibition focused on introducing new-media technology to industry players and the general public,' Briggs continued. 

'The exhibit portion of the IMC will take place October 9th through 11th in Abu Dhabi's Marina Mall. 

The combination of cutting edge exhibits and advanced interactive experiences will promote Abu Dhabi as a prime destination for New-Media production in the Middle East. 

It will feature virtual worlds, video games, interactive art, narrative tools and internet communication platforms,' she concluded.
