Although we think the World of WarCraft soda below is silly, it’s not nearly as bad as the official WoW elf ears you can buy. Or good depending on which side on the irony line you’re on.
News Blips:
• Personify a videogame stereotype by drinking World of WarCraft-branded Mountain Dew. In case you need to level up your nerd cred, Mountain Dew is releasing special WoW-themed beverages for you to sip on while you loot orcs with your guild. But, then again, if you’re regularly playing WoW, your nerd cred is likely maxed out at level 80 already. [Joystiq]
• Valve finds chill pills in abandoned bathroom, hands to boycotters. Yesterday, we talked about how some angry Left 4 Dead fans are protesting the recently announced Left 4 Dead 2. Today, developer Valve responds saying their game is awesome. Tomorrow, nothing is resolved. [1UP]
• Sony thinks PSP is a loser, will not give it trophies. We (more like Shoe) love bragging about our in-game accomplishments, but if you’re expecting the PS3’s Achievement-like Trophies to eventually appear on the PSP, you’re going to have wait the unbearably long time of never. Seems like the easily hackable ways of the PSP is keeping Sony from including the accomplishment trackers. You can always create your own trophies, though: Public Reputation Suicide — Purchase Hanna Montana PSP bundle. [Joystiq]
• Koei Tecmo encourage employees to pop out human “sequels.” The folks behind Dynasty Warriors and Dead or Alive are actually giving paid bonuses to workers who have multiple children, the biggest being $20,300 for those who have their third kid. Bet Octomom is pissed she didn’t know about this sooner. [Kotaku]
Hit the jump for some video blips, including a Brutal Legend trailer, wacky Just Cause 2 antics, the secret to Space Invaders tactics, and…more.
Video Blips:
• Brutal Legend trailer is harsh on the ha-ha’s. Watch at your own risk.
• Watch a Just Cause 2 developer walkthrough. Reason: it looks fun.
• Become a Big Daddy in BioShock 2 multiplayer, sadly no bonuses from Koei Tecmo apply. Still looks cool, though.
