Hothead games announced that it will be bringing the critically acclaimed indie game Braid to the Macintosh OS. This will extend it's previous player base from Xbox 360 and PC. Now that gamers with a Macintosh can play, the company is expecting a meteoric rise in sales of the game by at least 2 or 3 copies. Perhaps 4 if looks shiny and silver, since thats how Mac buyers make their consumption choices.
Now, when it works on iPhone, that'll be big.
JUST IN FROM WOW ELEMENTAL CENTRAL - Shamans walking around with 20k health have a 10k earth elemental to tank for them, and a fire elemental that does half as much damage as their 20-minute-cooldown-less Magma Totem.
Blizzard has noted this as an obvious concern.
Answer? You say, "Fix the elementals." I say, "Of course not, since when does fixing a problem involve improving the weakness." Case in point: Rockbiter Weapon was last seen as useful in 2004.
But don't worry, the Blizz-style fix is on it's way: the Air Elemental of Doom!
For the mere expense of 23% of your mana pool (the same ridiculous pay-a-kidney cost of the other elementals), you get an Air Elemental featuring:
- 5k damage/second tick (like the time Sapphiron was bugged one X.X.X patch ago)
- tanks like a druid in full T7 (mana sponge tank ftw)
- upon 2 minutes passing, he enrages and one shots every target in range until killed
He should be showing up in 3.1 like that mythic dual-spec thing.
IN MURLOC LAND - Beyond the nitty-gritty information building up on Ulduar and 3.1 (and the jokes that go along with Ulduar), one new piece of happiness has come around for the WoW raiders--the Murloc Raid!
According to Eyonix, a Blizzard blue poster, not only will you be able to fight murlocs, kobolds, and gnolls in a 10-man and 25-man setting (by suggestion of player), but you can play one of these races simply by entering the super-secret password:
Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A
A hundred-foot murloc will also be released soon with the ability to finally eat those pesky Core Hound hunter pets. No more auction house shaking!
[Editor's Note: If you didn't get that code reference above, shame on you]
FORUM HEALING MAYHEM – Changes to mana regeneration in World of Warcraft are abundant as Blizzard tries to pick up the fallen pieces of their Wrath release.
Konami has announced it will pick up movie turned game Saw. It will be created by Zombie Studios, a company that I've found to be run by actual zombies. Like with all half done licensed games with no information on them, this had hit game written all over it and Konami was wise to notice.
