Fancy Horse Makes Blizzard $2mil in 4 Hrs

Fancy Horse Makes Blizzard $2 Million in Four Hours
New in-game pet for World of Warcraft is generating sales of about $500,000 an hour, so far.
By Frank Cifaldi, 04/15/2010

The Blizzard Pet Store is offering two new virtual pets to World of Warcraft players today, one of which has generated over $2 million in sales in its first four hours.
The "Celestial Steed" (right) is, according to its description on the Blizzard Store, "freshly born from the Twisting Nether" and allows players to "travel in style astride wings of pure elemental stardust."

More research is of course necessary but as of press time, it is widely believed that the Celestial Steed may be the fanciest horse ever born.

The fancy horse costs $25 and offers no new abilities to players, only riding as fast as a character's riding skill will enable it to go.

According to wow.com, the download queue as of 1:45 Pacific time was at 80,000. At $25 a pop, this means that this noble steed has generated sales of $2 million since its approximate debut at 9:30 this morning, or around $500,000 an hour.

1UP has reached out to Blizzard for commentary from the horse, and will report back if he is available.

WoW Wireless Headset from Creative

QUOTE

Is your allegiance to the Horde and Alliance so strong that you'd spend $159.99 on a World of Warcraft branded wireless headset from Creative Labs? Should it be?

Ask any World of Warcraft raider and they'll tell you; communication is key to being a successful raider. You have to listen to your raid leader. You have to keep an ear out for audio cues. You have to have the right heavy metal music playing in the background, or taking down the Lich King just isn't as intense as it should be.

To that end, Creative Labs offers the World of Warcraft wireless headset, incorporating the latest THX TruStudio PC technology and sporting a design that makes it look as if you pulled it off the freshly-killed corpse of a raid boss. Is this loot you should roll need on, or should you leave it for the Hunter who rolls on everything?

Nyko Zoom Case Gives Your DSi An 8x Optical Zoom

QUOTE

These days it seems like everything has a digital camera in it. Okay, maybe not everything, but you’ll be hard-pressed to find someone that doesn’t own at least one device that functions as a camera. Of course if you aren’t using a dedicated camera, the lack of an optical zoom can limit your shots. Then again, that’s what crazy accessories are for.

Nyko has announced that they will soon be offering cases for your DSi which will let you attach an 8x zoom lens. I suppose if you carry your DSi everywhere, and enjoy taking a lot of pictures, this might be worth looking into. Sure, you’ll look like a dork, but at least your snapshots will look a little better. Not to mention the $25 price tag certainly can’t be argued with.

Prisoner escapes jail in cardboard box

By Henry Samuel in Paris
Published: 6:07PM BST 09 Sep 2009

Embarrassed officials were at a loss to explain how Jean-Pierre Treiber, 45, a double murder suspect, managed to elude detection in the box he had built himself at a workshop in the high security prison of Auxerre, Burgundy.

With its hidden human cargo, the box was loaded with dozens of others onto a lorry for delivery to the Yonne region, southeast of Paris.

During the 100-mile journey, he broke free and leapt from the lorry. The driver only realised there was a problem once he had reached his destination, when he spotted a hole in the tarpaulin covering the boxes, some of which were flattened.

Police have sealed off roads and a huge area of woodland in the hunt for Treiber using helicopters and sniffer dogs.

Treiber has been in prison awaiting trial since 2004, charged with murdering French actor Roland Giraud's daughter Geraldine, and her friend Katia Lherbier.

He is due to stand trial early next year in a case that shocked France.

Treiber is believed to have sneaked inside a cardboard box at 10.30am on Tuesday while he was left alone in a prisoner's workshop.

He had earlier told guards that he had an afternoon meeting with his parole officer – and nobody noticed his absence until later that evening, giving him seven hours to make good his escape.

Roland Giraud, 67, one of France's best-known actors, said Treiber's escape was an "avowal" that he had murdered his daughter.

The bodies of Geraldine Giraud, 36, and Katia Lherbier, 32, were both found dumped in a well on Treiber's property in Villeneuve-sur-Yonne, near Paris.

They had been strangled.

But Treiber's lawyer, Eric Dupond-Moretti, said his escape proved nothing.

"One can either say he's guilty and that this is proof of his guilt... or one can say he's desperate, that he no longer has faith in the justice system because he's pleaded his innocence for so long and hasn't been heard."

Treiber has always denied the murders despite having used the victims' credit cards to withdraw cash. When he was arrested and the first body discovered, his cryptic reaction was: "He bumped her off."

Mystery still surrounds unknown DNA that does not match Treiber's on adhesive tape used to gag the girls' mouths.

Police admitted they had a tough task finding Treiber, a former forest warden, who knows the Othe woods 20 miles north of Auxerre like the back of his hand. "We're searching the places where he used to hunt," said a policeman. "But he might well have fled further afield"

The World of Elven Legends - A Realm Forgotten
[/center]

A Mobile Platform MMORPG!!!

Story
From the mystical depths of the ancient Kaledor Forest, the first Elven races emerged. Cloaked in mystery and consumed by hatred and chaos, the race of Elves engage in a civil conflict that threatens to render its own extinction.

When the elves split to become the Forest and Dark races, a series of events led to the first Elven War and the descent of the ancient Great Elves.

A new twist and uncovering of the intention of the Great Elves give rise to more recent and violent clashes. Dark deeds and unholy alliances threaten the race of Elves once more.

We are at the edge of a second Elven War.

Descriptions
This is a real-time multiplayer game which can be played on both the mobile (GPRS, 3G and above).

Players engage each other in a battle of wits and magic to gain dominance across the enchanted realm of the three Elven Races, the Forest Elves, the Dark Elves and the Great Elves. Who will be the last elf standing?

The Pirate & the Emperor's Ship 《海盗与王船》

penman — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 15:10:14 +0800

[center][/center]

Date 14th February 2009
Venue GSC 1 Utama (Hall 5)

Sypnosis
On the voyage across the Strait of Malacca, you’ll know more about the tears and blood of our beloved land.

The notorious "Pirate King" Tan Lian Lay once terrorised the waters of Perak Malaysia and Bagan Siapi-Api, Indonesia. His personal story and the history of his coastal bases are a mix of fact, fiction, legend, myth and religious belief.

Director Khoo Eng Yow and field researcher Lee Eng Kew (aka Ah Kew) retrace how a notorious criminal went from being a powerful gang leader to a hunted man, and later became revered as a deity. It is a story that encompasses the WWII Japanese occupation of South East Asia, the British colonial rule, and the power of the assimilation of myth into history, which still affects people today.

曾经纵横马六甲海峡的"海王"陈连礼 (又名陈德辉),在马来西亚霹雳州以及印尼峇眼亚比的海域为非作歹。这名一代枭雄留下的故事,掺杂着了历史、传说、传奇以及神话。
田野历史工作者李永球从马来西亚霹雳追踪到印尼峇眼亚比,探查这名一时无俩的海王,然后却沦为通缉犯的海盗,最后又辗转成了被膜拜的神明。
从日据时期到英殖民时代;从历史走入神话,这是一个至今仍深深影响人们的故事。

穿插着峇眼亚比一年一度的烧王船片段,《海盗与王船》是邱涌耀和李永球续《峇峇球》后另一部携手合作的作品。

DVD will be available soon from Da Huang!

Video
coming soon...
