The Best Of The Rest: The Good, The Bad And The Cockney Edition
Poster for the Korean film "The Good, The Bad and The Weird". Can you guess who is who?
It’s been another rollercoaster of a week both in the gaming world and my personal life. Starcraft 2 came out a mere six days ago (it feels like forever) and has been a bit of a hit by all accounts (no official news yet but word on street is that South Korea has suffered a 76.2% dip in productivity). I’m loving it so far. SOE also announced that they will be releasing a more expensive version of Everquest 2 designed specially to target new and unsuspecting players and have branded it as EQ2X, the X standing for “Extended Billing Plan”. Not that I’m bitter or anything, no sir. And finally I also had a merry little jaunt down to London to visit some Cockneys and collect my in-laws who are over visiting from Japan. So far I’ve managed to downplay my racial foot-in-mouth disease and have yet to spew some clichéd remark that offends their ancestors. Wait.
Anyhow, time to let the link love talk as we take a peak at my weekly roundup from across the web:
