Mod Chip Criminals
Console modding may very well become a criminal offense in the near future. This last Tuesday, a trial began in Southern California that could begin the creation of a much larger definition as to what a person is legally allowed to do with the products they buy.
Minecraft – What’s the Big Deal?
Hello, my name’s Josh. I have cats – cute cats. In my free time, I enjoy beach combing, leather work, and picking fights with the homeless. I’m also a new writer here at World of Meh, and so it seems fitting to discuss a game that’s never appeared on the site before: Minecraft.
Angry Birds Peace Treaty Video
If you own an iPhone or Droid, chances are you’ve heard of Angry Birds. If you haven’t, it’s this great little game where you have various birds and you launch them at pigs. It sounds silly, but it is pretty awesome and fun. A video has recently hit YouTube showing what it would be like if the Angry Birds and pigs tried to work things out.
DC Universe Online – Final Thoughts
No, this isn’t www.worldofjerryspringer.com, and my “Final Thoughts” won’t be some silly moral lesson based on the day’s cat-fights and obscenities. I couldn’t think of a better title for this post, so if you don’t like it, please feel free to leave a comment. Keep in mind that I will ignore your comment. I may even make fun of your grammar and spelling wh...[Read More]
DC Universe Online – Game Physics
I know you were expecting the Hands-on Impressions today, but I’ve ret-conned the site, and so today we take a look at the physics of the DC Universe Online world. As this is a video game based on comic books, one can hardly expect the physics to conform to real-world standards, so we’re in store for a lot of fun. Once Chris and Jens finished up their world tour, Wes Yanagi took over (...[Read More]
DC Universe Online – World Tour
Today’s article focuses on the DC Universe Online…universe. Shortly after Character Creation, Chris Cao and Jens Andersen gave us an in-game aerial tour of the DC Universe Online world, highlighting both of the main world locations (Gotham and Metropolis), as well as the headquarters (Watchtower and Hall of Doom), Arkham Asylum, Khandaq, the Batcave, the moon, and more. The scale of th...[Read More]
Hilarious CoD Black Ops ‘Unboxing’ Video
If you have a pulse then you know that Call of Duty: Black Ops is finally out. Since there is much hype surrounding this game, a man, known as KevinWK on YouTube decided to take it upon himself and have somebody film him opening the package his Prestige Edition came in… and it’s pretty epic.
DC Universe Online – Interview with John Blakely
This interview happened at the end of our day at the DCUO studio. I had lost track of time while playing the game, and if it hadn’t been for SOE Public Relations Specialist extraordinaire Ryan Peters, I would have missed my chance to sit down and ask the questions that I and our staff worked so hard to put together! With that being said, if you like the interview as I’ve transcribed it...[Read More]
DC Universe Online – Character Creation
I was lucky enough to be one of the few invited to the DC Universe Online studio for an opportunity to see the game and talk to the people that made it. Today’s article focuses on the character creation and customization features of DC Universe Online as they were presented to us by Chris Cao and Jens Andersen. The character creation walkthrough revealed character classes, abilities, weapons...[Read More]
DC Universe Online – Press Event
Last Monday, November 1, I found myself in a place I had not been for close to five years; an airport. I was on my way to Texas (there’s a bad country song in there, somewhere), where I was invited by Sony Online Entertainment to attend a semi-exclusive press event and game preview for their upcoming game, DC Universe Online. I had a chance to interview Sony Online Entertainment’s Vice...[Read More]
Fist of the North Star: A Guide/Retrospective for newbies
With the release of Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage, it can come as a shock to a lot of anime fans like me that Kenshiro’s epic story may not be known to a lot of modern young people. While I could just complain about how this makes me feel old before my 30’s, I instead will take this opportunity to offer a primer for people, as well as relive my love for one of the greatest p...[Read More]
Games & Legal Problems
There has always been a direct link to legal issues when it comes to video games, but today, I have something a step away from the typical “violent video games lead to violent people.” You won’t believe what’s in store!
