Unintentionally funny adventures from D&D Tiny Adventures
I had started to collect some of the worst text from Wizards of the Coast’s Dungeons and Dragons: Tiny Adventures. It’s not a huge list but I wanted to share. It must have been hard writing all that conditional text for the game in the first place. I wonder how many words some poor writer? […]
Blur Game – car crashes and street art
London, Berlin and Madrid have all had some racing game sponsored street art splashed onto a dull wall.

Turbine backs down from Dungeons and Dragons revolt
Turbine have their heads screwed on. First the company takes D&D Online from a $15 a month subscription package to a free game – which generates thousands of new players. Next it enables those players to buy power-ups and enhancements – responsible for a huge boost in profits. Recently, though, Turbine pushed the power-up for […]
The Celestial Mount might earn World of Warcraft $2.5m an hour
Activision-Blizzard’s bankers will be happy. The folks at ITworld have done some maths and figure the new Celestial Mount could be earning the World of Warcraft owners up to $2.5m each and every hour. This is due to two basic rules; high price and high demand. How high is the price? The Celestial Mount costs […]
