Escapist News Network: Blizzard Warning

[Richard Pippy]

I enjoyed the Rick Mercer style rant. I know it would have been tough to do a full out RM Rant since it has no cuts, but I think this one had way too many cuts and not enough camera shake. Just the right amount of hand gesturing though.

Fight the man! Wait... I own StarCraft, WarCraft 3/expac, World of Warcraft (all expacs) and StarCraft 2... Down with the world! I just wonder when Blizzard will buy a small country somewhere with all their pocket change.

Also, anyone else slightly worried by 'Abusing the donkey'? That just sounds painful. And probably illegal.

I've heard it referred to as "flogging the dolphin."
OT: Crazy, awesome guy is crazy awesome.

 

[addeB]

Oh noes, I'm already farming for the next level! :O

I enjoyed the "and have enough change left over for slurpees" bit enormously. Don't ask me why, it just really made me laugh.

 

[Bulit523]

Yeah! I was good up to that one. Then...WTF?!? Never heard that one before.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

I knew there was something wrong with Blizzard... >_>

Ever read the book Daemon? It's basically this. An evil MMO designer uses his genius and games to overthrow society.

Except he doesn't stop at just controlling the internet.

 

[Supp]

That was the most amazing thing on the escapist since mailbox showdown.

 

[Alar]

Activison Boycott....JUSTIFIED!!! They're all in it together to bring down the intarwebz!!!!!111one

good work. numbers were off but good work nonetheless

This goes beyond Activision. Blizzard has been planning this for years, far before Activision had anything to do with them.

You thought Activision was the real evil? I think it's safe to say our Best Buddy Blizz has been keeping a few things from us...

 

[Mr.Mattress]

His hair reminds me of Weird Al Yanchovic. And his behavior also reminds me of Weird Al. Coincidence? I think not!!

Good job guys. First one in a while I found funny.

 

[Distorted Stu]

Rex is awesome, i want to see more of him!

 

[Daniel Beasley]

Anyone else curious what his shirt reads? I was awfully distracted by his teeth.

 

[Wes1180]

I was expecting it to be a plan for blizzard to buy their own country. Great episode.

 

[Catalyst6]

My god... WoW is actually a complex program to develop an algorithm to hack the Internets... we are the Matrix! Ruuuuuunnnnn!

 

[Don Reba]

His numbers check out, so it must be true. O_O

 

[s2dio]

Have you guys moved to Ontario? And Rick Mercer wants his cameraman back.

 

[DTWolfwood]

Blizzard, you dastardly developer! we're on to you! D:<

lol comical episode hehe

 

[Mangue Surfer]

One day they will make, "World of Duty: Guitarcraft!" Ah yes, the shit will hit the fan seriously.

 

[Simalacrum]

Wait... if Blizzard take over the internet... what happens to The Escapist...? D:
