#253 – The Instance: Vivendi Gets VivSpendy

Dills is back, and all three of us are ready to rock! Skyrim might just inform a bit of the conversation today, but not too much, we promise. :)

Mass layoffs turned out to be a mass lie, Vivendi sells a bunch of Blizzard stock, new WoW ad airing this sunday, 4.3 valor changes and what that means, 1000 guilds have killed heroic Rag, your calls, your emails, Gamestop wants to save new WoW players some money, and Minecraft Stormwind is something to behold!

  3. I’m not going to bet my soul on this but wasn’t the original soccerball a severed head, Danish in origin? Oh well, always entertaining, Scott Johnson and Co. you have outdone yourselves once again. Selah.

  4. American football is rightly called football. The British first called it ‘soccer’ in the 1800s.

    In 1863, several teams formed the Football Association in Britain, thereby cementing the term football in reference the sport of soccer. So, what have we learned?

    English called it soccer, then changed it to football. Americans call their sport football as well. Multiple sports can have the same name and no one gets hurt. Really, urmum, you need to stop drinking caffeine.

  8. Tupster and the, “Stomp Stomp Stomp!” He should be a comedian!

    Good points though and I agree with you- if WOW went free it would become populated by the cheap street trash that now plays Runescape. All the 9 and 10 year olds would join up. WOW is bad enough with brat 15 year old boys who get their Moms to buy it. I can not imagine the prepubescent children who manage to download the game reaping selfish strife in random dungeon runs. Ugghhh think of the rare brat you run into who rolls need on greens – then multiply that childish lack of self restraint with Free to Play. The horror of it… Come to think of it Diablo 3 is going to be a nightmare mode too… the saving hero of it will be separate loot drops though.

    On a negative note – I do not appreciate your ‘deep throat’ jokes. The practice is not pleasurable to the many women who are exploited and forced to do this by their partners. Nor do I like the offensive use of “Pimp” as a verb. I do not think it is necessary to explain why hip hop harms women by using language like ‘bitch, ho and pimp’. Do a simple Google search on: “misogynist language pimp.” Do you want your daughters to grow up and be used as tools by boyfriends? If you dislike the idea avoid endorsement of language use like this.

  9. Also, Killer Instinct owned. I still have the soundtrack that came with my N64 cartridge!

    It’s the way you move
    The way you move
    The way you move
    To the killer groove
    (This beat is Rare!)

  10. Yo yo gotta say again – Tupster was funny! And have to 2nd the no free to play on the game – ya it is sick enough with 12 year olds doing their anal stage jokes on trade- free to play – no way that would be ugly!
