WowTweetCraftUI.jpg

It was bound to happen, an unholy union between World of Warcraft and a Twitter Client.

It’s called TweetCraft, a plugin for WoW that can do the following:

  • Send/receive Tweets in-game (Immediate sending reloads your UI)
  • Queue Tweets to send when it’s more convenient for you
  • Upload in-game screenshots using TwitPic
  • AutoTweet when you log in, enter an instance or get an achievement
  • Extensible so that AddOn authors can register messages or events to AutoTweet

Would You Believe a Movie Based on the View-Master?!

I just…I dunno…what is there to say? It seems like every day I make at least one post that clearly illustrates the creative bankruptcy in Hollywood, and the next day comes a story that outdoes the last. Yesterday I posted about an Asteroids movie, so how could matters get any worse? How about a movie based on the View-Master?

Let that sink in.

Brad Caleb Kane, producer and writer on the television show Fringe, is currently writing a screenplay based on the View-Master. All we know about the tone of the movie is what Mr. Kane tweeted: “like the old 80’s Amblin movies: Goonies, Young Sherlock… In that vein.”

I’m beside myself.

Battlefield 1943 Trailer Gets You All Worked Up for July 8

Posted by Jack Devore | July 3rd, 2009 |  No Comments »

FILED UNDER: AllGamesVideos

I’ve been waiting for Battlefield 1943 since it was first announced and thankfully the wait is almost over. Battlefield 1943 is a downloadable game hitting Xbox Live Arcade on July 8th, with an appearance on the PlayStation network the following day. DICE is delving into new territory with this release and if it turns out to be a success then we can expect other developers to offer up AAA titles at budget prices.

Unlike most titles offered on XBLA and PSN, Battlefield 1943 will look, sound and play like a retail game. It uses an enhanced Frostbite engine that powered Battlefield: Bad Company, though it has one important new feature: complete structure demolition.

With July 4th right around the corner, now would be a good time to brush up on how best to take great photographs of fireworks. You don’t need a expensive equipment or gear. As long as your digital camera can handle some basic settings like adjusting the exposure speed, changing the aperture and ISO, you should be good to go.

Instructables has a great little guide that you should find very helpful.

Some considerable talent is on display in this fan-made trailer for Blizzard’s StarCraft. Either those responsible for this effort are looking for work at Blizzard or they just really, really love StarCraft.

Robo Geisha is Transformers for Psychopaths

Posted by Jack Devore | July 2nd, 2009 |  No Comments »

FILED UNDER: AllMovies

You gotta love Japanese cinema. There simply isn’t anything too weird or strange for Asian movie-goers, evidenced by this trailer for Robo Geisha. If you happened to see Machine Girl, which I did and quite liked, then you’ll feel right at home, as the same director, Noboru Iguchi, is behind this latest mind-f’ing.

Money Can’t Buy Happiness, But it Can Now Buy Twitter Followers

Posted by Jack Devore | July 2nd, 2009 |  No Comments »

So you started a Twitter account and now find yourself with zero followers. You’re not alone. Fortunately, if you have money, you can now have plenty of followers. A company based in Australia by the name of uSocial is selling blocks of followers, starting at $87 for 1,000 virtual admirers.

From BBC:

Leon Hill, chief executive of uSocial, said the company finds potential followers by searching Twitter and working out what individual users are interested in. It also profiles where people are so it can more closely match users with those they might want to follow.

USocial then sends messages to potential followers telling them about the new Twitter user they might want to follow.

“It’s up to the user to follow them or not,” said Mr Hill. He added that uSocial continues to look for followers until the specified number had signed up.

USocial has about 150 customers that had bought followers and had another 80-90 campaigns about to roll out.
